Returning to Purple Vine Bay, Fang Yi’s emotions weren’t particularly complex. He knew this was Kong Qingci’s territory. The reason he brought Zhou Peilan here was simply that Fang Yi thought the food here was quite good, nothing more.
Moreover, Fang Yi also wanted to see if he might run into Kong Qingci; it had been a long time since he last saw her. At the thought of this intellectual and understanding woman, an indescribable excitement surged in Fang Yi’s heart.
Hoping to see her, yet hoping not to see her...
In short, Fang Yi felt a bit conflicted.
Zhou Peilan came up, holding Fang Yi’s arm with her hands, snuggling against his shoulder like a little bird.
"Purple Vine Bay, I heard this restaurant is very famous. Those who can dine here are usually big shots or wealthy people," Zhou Peilan said, with a hint of envy in her voice.
Fang Yi responded, "Isn’t your man a wealthy person?"
Zhou Peilan laughed, "I know there’s money in the company account, but whether you have any private stash, I have no idea."
Fang Yi carefully recalled for a moment. He indeed didn’t have any private stash. Even his bank account had only about a hundred thousand or so; the other money was all in the company’s account.
However, even so, if Fang Yi wanted to use money, a single phone call could mobilize a large amount of funds. Although not a billionaire, a few million to ten million wasn’t unreachable.
Fang Yi walked with Zhou Peilan toward the gates of Purple Vine Bay. Since Zhou Peilan was leaning on Fang Yi’s shoulder, her body was somewhat uncontrollable and happened to bump lightly into a wealthy lady beside them.
The light bump stirred the wealthy lady to immediately shriek sharply.
The lady’s scream was incredibly piercing, instantly drawing the attention of those coming in and out of the Purple Vine Bay restaurant.
Seeing the situation, Zhou Peilan quickly straightened up from Fang Yi and slightly bent forward to the lady, saying, "I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose, really sorry!"
Zhou Peilan’s apology was not hypocritical; it was heartfelt. After all, with Fang Yi there, even if she didn’t apologize, others wouldn’t dare do much to her.
Besides, Zhou Peilan wasn’t the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. If she thought she was wrong, she admitted it openly, feeling it’s nothing unusual, so she apologized to the lady.
However, despite Zhou Peilan’s genuine, heartfelt apology, the lady didn’t accept it at all. Instead, with a vicious look on her face, she pointed at Zhou Peilan and cursed, "You walk without watching where you’re going! Almost knocked me to the ground! Do you know I’m in pain now? You lowly woman, I won’t let you off!"
Saying that, the lady even raised her hand to slap Zhou Peilan’s face. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel※fire.net
Fang Yi frowned and then swiftly wrapped Zhou Peilan’s fragrant shoulder, bringing her body to his side.
With Zhou Peilan gone, the lady’s slap naturally hit nothing but air. She was initially stunned, then she turned her eyes to Fang Yi.
The lady deliberately glanced Fang Yi up and down, and then a contemptuous smile appeared in her eyes.
The reason was simple: men who came to Purple Vine Bay restaurant were all dressed to the nines, while this man in front was dressed rather ordinarily. Even the coat he wore wasn’t some brand-name item. The lady assumed it must have been bought from some regular clothing store by the street.
Thus, the lady immediately pegged Fang Yi as a ’poor bastard’!
