CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 216: THE DOMINEERING FOUR YOUNG MASTERS (2)

"It’s almost time for dinner, you can’t eat so many desserts." Mi Jing, who usually indulged Gu Can every time, was surprisingly serious this time, her pretty face stern as she lectured earnestly.

"But..."

"One serving of this dessert is just right, eating too much will make you sick of it. Let’s just taste it this time, and next time Auntie will bring you here again, okay?" Seeing that Gu Can was still unwilling to give up, Mi Jing lowered her voice and coaxed gently.

"...Okay. But Auntie, you must bring me again next time." Gu Can seriously considered it for a while, then his pouty face relaxed, and he nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, you little glutton, you still have something on your mouth." Gu Can’s obedience made Mi Jing very happy. She took a napkin from the side and gently turned to wipe the smudges off Gu Can’s mouth.

Gu Can sat obediently, but his gaze was already attracted by the food the waiter was carrying. His eyes moved over several waiters, and after two or three seconds, fixed on the waiter walking towards them.

Could it be that Auntie ordered another dessert?

Thinking this, Gu Can felt bubbles of excitement rising in his heart! But quickly, these bubbles were instantly popped by Mi Jing’s words!

"Miss, I didn’t order this. Did you make a mistake?" Seeing the waiter place a delicate tiramisu on the table, Mi Jing glanced at it indifferently and said softly.

"No mistake, Mr. Zhao ordered it for you. He said he hopes this dessert will make you happy." The waiter wore a professional smile and said politely.

Mr. Zhao?

Mi Jing frowned and asked, "Which Mr. Zhao?"

"Mr. Zhao Yufan sitting in the corner over there." Zhao Yufan was definitely a celebrity in Jin City, thanks to the media repeatedly promoting him, making his exposure comparable to a popular star, so there were very few people who didn’t recognize him!

Following the waiter’s indication, Mi Jing and Gu Can both looked towards Zhao Yufan’s location. They saw that he still had that refined and handsome appearance, and perhaps sensing their gaze, he slowly raised his head and smiled slightly.

But Mi Jing had no good feelings towards Zhao Yufan at all, especially after the previous nightmare, she didn’t want to have any interaction with him. So, when the professor previously asked her twice to help with the charity auction, she found excuses to decline.

"Return it for me!" Mi Jing expressionlessly pushed the tiramisu to the edge of the table, clearly indicating that she did not want to accept Zhao Yufan’s "kindness."

"This..." The waiter looked incredulous, thinking, receiving a dessert from the genius painter Zhao Yufan, how fortunate was that! But this woman, she coldly refused?

"Just take it back!" After speaking, Mi Jing took the handbag next to her and then looked down to Gu Can, saying, "Gu Can, we’re leaving."

"Okay!" Seeing that it was something from a stranger, Gu Can completely lost his appetite. She was a very principled child; although she loved food, she never ate anything given by strangers!

Mi Jing gently lifted Gu Can off the chair, then held her little hand and walked towards the cashier.

"Miss, Mr. Zhao has already paid your bill."

Mi Jing took out a card and handed it to the cashier, but was told this news.

Upon hearing this, Mi Jing withdrew the card, took out a few serious bills from her wallet and placed them on the counter, saying, "Please give this money back to him!" With someone as wealthy as Shen Lingxing, Mi Jing was not lacking money at all!

"Miss, this..." The cashier looked troubled.

Rather than make others uncomfortable, Mi Jing did not want to owe Zhao Yufan any favor. So with a cold face, she said, "I’m leaving the money here, do as you see fit." After all, it wasn’t her who asked Zhao Yufan to pay, nor did she accept his money, so how to handle it was naturally up to the cashier!

Hmph, what’s with the pretense! Mr. Zhao, the great painter, just glanced at you a few times and you really think you’re something special!

Glaring fiercely at Mi Jing’s departing figure, the cashier inwardly scoffed disdainfully.

Mi Jing didn’t care at all about what others thought of her. Sometimes she was quite self-centered, aside from the people she cared about, she wouldn’t go out of her way to please anyone. So, whether her ungratefulness made Zhao Yufan feel awkward, she didn’t care in the slightest!

"Junior."

After settling Gu Can in the passenger seat, Mi Jing walked around to the driver’s seat, when suddenly Zhao Yufan’s voice called over. For a moment, Mi Jing’s body stiffened, but she didn’t stop, pretending not to hear.

"Junior! You seem to dislike me a lot."

However, Mi Jing’s cold disregard did not make Zhao Yufan back off. He quickened his pace and blocked Mi Jing’s way.

What exactly does he want?

Her attitude was so obvious, couldn’t he see it?

Mi Jing lowered her head, her brows furrowing impatiently, and looked up at Zhao Yufan expressionlessly, saying, "It’s not just ’seem,’ I definitely don’t like you! So, please move aside."

"Junior, you’re really heartless. After all, I helped you last time." Zhao Yufan’s smile was both sinister and meaningful.

Last time?

Was he referring to helping her inflate the car tire?

Mi Jing’s smile was all but genuine as she said, "I thanked you, although a thank you is worth nothing, I just considered your help as the rightful gesture of a host."

Hearing Mi Jing’s words, Zhao Yufan’s smile turned a bit more mischievous, "I think you misunderstand, I was referring to Li Jia’s matter." He had already received news that on the day of the incident, Chu Chen investigated Li Jia’s car accident, so whether he mentioned it or not, Mi Jing would find out eventually.

Thump, Mi Jing’s shocked heart skipped a beat, then tightened, realizing the man in front of her was more terrifying than she imagined. Perhaps, the cruel version of him in her nightmare was his true nature!

"It’s my first time meeting someone like you, who does something blameworthy and not only lets others take the fall but also blatantly boasts about it. Ha!" Mi Jing gave no face to Zhao Yufan, sneering and saying, "You helped me? I feel like you were using me instead."

"Junior, you’re really ruthless. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also accuse me. Haha, but I like women who are as heartless as you!" Zhao Yufan’s smile didn’t waver, rather it grew, and his cold eyes gleamed with a strange light.

This man is really disgusting!

Could it be true, as the senior said, that most geniuses are likely to be perverts?
