Wang LuLu’s face immediately darkened further. She had originally planned to leave like this, with the bill left to Leng Yichen. She didn’t expect Bai Yiran to see through her little scheme.
"The money from my husband can’t be spent by unrelated women," Bai Yiran purposely hooked her arm through Leng Yichen’s, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Wang LuLu.
Wang LuLu gritted her teeth and glared at Bai Yiran, then said to the manager, "How much!"
The manager had already prepared the bill, "A total of three thousand five hundred yuan."
Wang LuLu’s eyes widened, "We only had appetizers! Why is it so expensive!"
"Sorry, you also had three glasses of red wine," the manager responded calmly, as if determined not to let her leave without paying the three thousand five hundred yuan.
Wang LuLu’s expression grew even uglier as she looked at Feifei and Lili beside her, "Do any of you have cash? I don’t have enough on me."
Feifei and Lili shook their heads in unison, "No, Lu Lu, you said you were treating us, so we didn’t bring money." Ridiculous, being with you is embarrassing enough, getting kicked out of the restaurant, and now you want money from us? Dream on!
Wang LuLu realized that these so-called sisters were only trying to cozy up to her because of her status as Leng Yichen’s fiancée. Now that they knew she was nothing, their true colors showed!
"I’ll use my card!"
"Alright, this way please!" The manager guided Wang LuLu to the cash register.
Wang LuLu looked at Bai Yiran with a murderous glare, but suddenly she smiled weirdly, "Let’s see how long you can stay proud. Don’t come crying when you end up miserable!"
With that, Wang LuLu followed the manager to swipe her card. Feifei and Lili looked at Leng Yichen with hearts in their eyes, turning back every few steps. Such a good man, why does he have to be married?
Just then, the restaurant’s staff had efficiently cleared the table. Leng Yichen led Bai Yiran and the others to sit down, and a different server came over to take their order.
"What do you want to eat?" Leng Yichen asked.
"I’m fine with anything, you order for me. I’m terrible at choosing dishes," Bai Yiran said with a grin.
"Me too, brother-in-law, you order for me too!" Cheng Shishi chimed in.
"Okay." Leng Yichen quickly ordered some delicious dishes, then looked at Bai Yiran, "Sorry for the trouble today."
"It’s no trouble, even if you hadn’t come, I would have found a way to deal with them. But I’m happier now that you’re here!" Indeed, when Leng Yichen appeared, Bai Yiran was secretly delighted in her heart.
"As long as you’re happy." Leng Yichen’s tone carried a gentle indulgence, making those who heard it feel particularly comfortable.
"Brother-in-law, you have no idea how satisfying it was when you showed up! That woman is so despicable, pretending to be your fiancée. At first, I almost misunderstood you, thinking you were being unfaithful," Cheng Shishi said with a serious expression, as if she had been the one wronged.
"With your sister, how could I be unfaithful? How could those people compare to your sister?" Leng Yichen said, his eyes never leaving Bai Yiran.
Leng Yichen’s words made Bai Yiran’s face instantly turn crimson. She felt awkward and restless, not knowing where to look, and dared not meet Leng Yichen’s gaze. His eyes were like a trap, one look and she might never be able to escape.
Cheng Shishi looked at Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran, almost able to see the pink electricity zipping between them.
At home on the sofa, Xu Juan was sipping her newly bought UK tea and watching a Korean drama where a mother-in-law was teaching her daughter-in-law a lesson. She thought about how she would need to assert her authority when she had a daughter-in-law in the future.
