Chapter 171: How About Giving Yourself To Me?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Wan nodded sincerely, and, naturally, she wasn’t just sitting there doing nothing.
“Thank you.”
Quan Ranting used another clean pair of chopsticks to pick up a jumbo shrimp for her. “You’re welcome.”
Shen Wan put the shrimp she had taken on the nearby plate.
The man raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m too lazy to peel it. 1’11 eat the other dishes first.”
Quan Ranting smiled and shook his head. He put on disposable gloves, to Shen Wan’s surprise, and began peeling the shrimp.
The man had large hands with distinct knuckles. If he played the piano, it would surely be a beautiful sight. Even the act of peeling shrimp had a noble feeling when he did it.
Visually pleasing.
Shen Wan thought to herself that the Sixth Lord actually liked shrimp.
In just a second, instead of delving into Quan Hanting’s preferences, Shen Wan preferred to enjoy the delicious food in front of her. So she continued to pick up dishes and focused on eating.
Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks appeared in front of her, skillfully picking up five or six jumbo shrimps and placing them gently but firmly into her bowl.
Shen Wan raised her head and happened to see the man retract his hand.
She smiled and blinked. “Is this for me?”
Quan Ranting didn’t say a word and simply picked up the remaining shrimp and added them to her bowl.
“Well, it really is for me. Thank you, Sixth Uncle. In that case, I won’t be polite.”
“Tsk, when have you ever been polite?”
She spoke without restraint, her attitude changing from good to bad. Even during their time at the hot spring resort, she had been the one setting the pace at the beginning, and it was only when she got tired that he took the lead.
Quan Ranting realized that from start to finish, he was the one being led around by this little girl.
Shen Wan didn’t respond to his words and continued to enjoy her shrimp.
Twenty minutes later, after finishing half a bowl of hot soup, she said, “OK, I’m full.”
Quan Ranting looked at the nearly empty plates on the table and couldn’t help but chuckle. “You can eat more than me…”
Shen Wan rolled her eyes. “There’s no comparison between us.”
“Why not?”
“I’m still growing, and you’re much older. You can’t grow anymore.”
Much older…
Older…
The man’s face instantly became as dark as thunderclouds.
“Did 1 say something wrong?” Her expression became so sour.
“…N-no, you didn’t.”
Hiss! How did she manage to catch a hint of gritted teeth in his words?
After they had eaten and drank their fill, they left the private room. Quan Ranting paid the bill with his card, while Shen Wan stood quietly by his side, looking like a well-behaved young wife.
There was still a distance to the parking lot, and the two of them walked side by side under the streetlights.
Suddenly, a bright light shone from behind them. Before Shen Wan could turn around, the man pulled her to the side of the road. His strength was so strong that it almost twisted her ankle.
“Do you want to die?” His voice was deep and filled with coldness.
Shen Wan raised her eyes, locking gazes with him. She smiled lightly, “Well, I’m still alive, aren’t 1?”
“If it weren’t for me reacting quickly and pulling you aside, do you think you’d still be standing here unharmed?”
“So…” Shen Wan took a step back, creating some distance, and bowed at a ninety-degree angle. “Thank you, Sixth Uncle, for saving my life.”
“Just a ‘thank you’ and you think you can dismiss me?”
“Otherwise?”
Quan Ranting thought for a moment, his eyes scanning her from top to bottom and back up to her face. He then suggested, “How about showing your gratitude by offering yourself to me?”
“Not interested.”
“Then tell me, what’s wrong with me that you find me so disagreeable?”
Shen Wan actually scrutinized him for a while. “Good-looking, great physique, wealthy, influential, and well-connected in Ning City, there’s really nothing wrong with you.”
With each statement, the smile on the man’s face grew deeper, and by the end, his eyes were even squinting..
