742 Good-looking but Useless!
Han Shi squeezed out a few words between his gritted teeth. “Are you sure he is just my imaginary enemy?”
Qin Xi touched her nose awkwardly and looked at the person who came. Her face darkened and she shouted, “Deng Xinhe, if you shout again, I’ll skin you alive.”
Yes, the person who came was Deng Xinhe, whom she had not seen for more than half a year.
Back then, when the Deng family was in trouble, Deng Xinhe was forced to go to Luoping. It was Qin Xi who helped him solve the problem. Now that the Deng family was doing well, Deng Xinhe took the time out of his busy schedule to come to Luoping to give Qin Xi a surprise.
He quickly patted his chest and put on a frightened expression. “I was just joking. Don’t be so serious. Smile!”
Han Shi walked up to him with a fake smile and reached out his hand. “So it’s Mr. Deng. Hello, I’m Qin Xi’s husband. Nice to meet you!”
“What? Husband?” Deng Xinhe was dumbfounded.
Seeing his reaction, Han Shi sneered in his heart, thinking to himself, now, let’s see if you still have the ball to tease my wife.
Unexpectedly, Deng Xinhe shook Han Shi’s hand and whispered into Han Shi’s ear, “Brother, I admire you. You’re a hero. An absolute hero.”
Han Shi was stunned and subconsciously asked, “What do you mean?”
Deng Xinhe gave him a pitying look. “You actually dare to marry a witch. What a hero you are. You’re so young, but why… Sigh. Take care of yourself.”
The corners of Han Shi’s mouth twitched. He felt that this fellow was not even worthy of being his imaginary enemy.
Deng Xinhe, who thought that he spoke very softly, did not see the murderous look that flashed across Qin Xi’s eyes.
“Why are you here?” Qin Xi looked at him from the corner of her eye, clearly not welcoming him.
Deng Xinhe said, “I heard that you’re going to open a shop again, so I rushed over. I’ve been overworking myself for the past six months. If I don’t come out and have some fun, I’m afraid I’ll suffer from depression!”
Qin Xi said angrily, “You came to my place to have fun?”
Deng Xinhe chuckled. “Of course not. I’m here to give you a gift. My father is still thinking about you!”
Qin Xi narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you sure he’s thinking about me and not my things?”
She did not forget that this kid had bought a lot of talismans from her. After half a year, he suddenly came to visit again. Who would believe that he was just here to send her a gift?
Deng Xinhe felt guilty for a moment and said with a smile, “Let’s not talk about this. Today is the soft opening of your restaurant. By the way, what’s the signature dish in the restaurant? In order to eat your medicinal cuisine, I didn’t eat at all last night. I wanted to eat a lot today.”
Qin Xi sneered and exposed him mercilessly. “You did so much physical work last night. You indeed need something nourishing.”
Deng Xinhe took a few steps back in fear. He looked at Qin Xi and then at Han Shi. Without saying a word, he quickly ran into the medicinal cuisine restaurant.
Han Shi looked at his back and smiled. “This kid is interesting!”
Qin Xi snorted proudly. “Who was jealous just now?”
Han Shi touched his nose in embarrassment. “I was wrong about him. Who knew that he was just a good-looking but useless thing?”
Qin Xi was amused. “You and Grandpa Wan really think alike!”
