Is It That Delicious?

After hearing Lin Xi’s words, Chen Che’s face was filled with heartache and he almost revealed a painful mask.

Lin Xi pouted. “Why? You can’t even bear to treat me to a meal after winning the award?”

“Of course not.” Chen Che hurriedly denied it, then said, “What I wanted to say was, can we just take a bite? There’s no need to eat anything good. Didn’t we just finish the buffet?”

Lin Xi had already expected Chen Che to say this. This time, she also showed her dominance and said directly, “Stop talking. Listen to me today, okay?”

Chen Che knew that if he expressed his unwillingness, Lin Xi would definitely compromise.

However, he had just received the money. If he did not spend it, it would not make sense, right?

Besides, the netizens were all watching!

Helpless, Chen Che could only nod and compromise. He thought to himself that he would really bleed today!

Seeing that Chen Che agreed, Lin Xi happily pulled Chen Che up. “Let’s go. Make the most of your free time so it won’t delay your work.”

[No way, what was Chen Che’s expression just now? Was he unwilling?]

[When he saw $1,000, this pauper’s eyes widened!]

[Haha, if it were me, I would have to give this money to Lin Xi. I wouldn’t want that!]

[Don’t mess around. Chen Che is suffering. We should understand!]

[That’s right. Lin Xi didn’t even say anything. Why are you guys coaxing her?]

Just as the netizens were discussing, in a Mercedes-Benz, Luo Yuelin had already turned off the live broadcast and was hammering the seat crazily to vent her anger.

She would never have thought that she would spend so much effort to get into the auction and buy the ring back at such a high price. More importantly, she had invited many voting netizens tonight.

In total, she had spent more than $5,000,000!

But in the end, not only did Chen Che’s broken doll steal the limelight, she even lost in the end!

Looking at Luo Yuelin, the short-haired girl in the driver’s seat did not dare to make a sound, afraid that she would get herself into trouble.

After a while, Luo Yuelin finally calmed down and asked with a gloomy face, “How’s the stats of Team 7 now?”

The short-haired girl hurriedly reported, “Team 7 has gained a lot of popularity tonight. Currently, the live-stream still has 100,000 viewers and the statistics are close to the top three, but it should take some time to surpass us.”

“Damn it!” Luo Yuelin snorted angrily and continued, “We can’t let them recover. We have to settle the score tonight!”

“Let’s find the previous influencer to lead again. Keep pushing the narrative that it was an act. It’s all scripted!”

“Understood, Sister Lin.” The short-haired girl nodded.

Half an hour later, in a western restaurant in Jiangshi City.

Looking at the gorgeous decoration, Chen Che could not help but ask, “Lin Xi, a meal here costs a lot, right?”

Lin Xi chuckled. How could she not know what Chen Che was thinking?

“Don’t worry, I’m a member here. It won’t cost too much.”

“Oh,” Chen Che replied and did not say anything else.

He found a seat by the window and sat down. At this moment, the waiter walked over.

“Ms. Lin, you’re here. What do you want to eat tonight?”

Lin Xi thought for a moment and replied, “A set meal it is. Two servings.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

“Wait a minute.” Chen Che hurriedly stopped the waiter.

“What’s wrong, sir? Do you need anything else?”

“I… I want to ask, how much is this set meal?” Chen Che asked.

The waiter smiled and said, “After the discount, each set is $100.”

Hearing this price, Chen Che’s heart ached. He asked again, “What does the set come with?”

“One steak, one juice, two side dishes.”

Chen Che rolled his eyes. “I don’t like steak, and I don’t like juice either. Two sides is a little too much. Just give me one.”

The waiter froze, thinking, What the hell is this?

Besides, he couldn’t sell it like that!

Lin Xi was also speechless. She hurriedly said, “Don’t listen to him. He’s just joking with you. Go and prepare.”

“Okay, Ms. Lin.”

Seeing the waiter leave, Lin Xi said, “Chen Che, I know you want to save money, but you don’t have to save so much, right? How can you work if you don’t fill your stomach?”

“Besides, you promised me that you would take good care of yourself. If you do that again, I won’t agree to you working part-time.”

Chen Che sighed, “It’s not that I can’t bear to, but this… this is a little expensive, right? It’s enough for me to eat buns for many days.”

“It’s not like we eat all the time. What’s wrong with eating once in a while?” After a pause, Lin Xi said in a low voice, “Besides, I know you can’t bear to part with it, so I ordered the cheapest set meal.”

Not wanting Lin Xi to think too much, Chen Che nodded and said, “Alright.”

When the netizens saw this, they could not help but complain again.

[I’m really speechless with this pauper! Is there a need to do this for $200?]

[That’s right, asking for one less side dish. I’m f*cking convinced!]

[I was touched by him just now, but I’ve returned to my original state!]

...

[For Goddess Lin Xi to tolerate him, it’s definitely true love!]

Ten minutes later, the set meal they ordered arrived at the table.

Looking at the tempting steak, Chen Che could not help but swallow his saliva. However, his heart really ached.

“Eat. I’ll give you my snacks too. Their food is especially delicious. You’ll definitely be satisfied,” Lin Xi said.

“Okay, try it.” Chen Che smiled and picked up his knife and fork to cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.

To be honest, the meat was really delicious, but Chen Che kept thinking about money.

He looked at the menu just now. This steak cost $78. It cost a few dollars to take a bite.

According to the profit multiplier, one bite would cost tens of thousands!

The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached. As Chen Che ate, tears actually flowed out.

Lin Xi was shocked and hurriedly said, “What’s wrong, Chen Che? It doesn’t taste good?”

“It’s too…” Chen Che almost said that it was too expensive. He hurriedly held it in and said, “It’s too delicious. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such delicious food.”

...

Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “Even if it’s delicious, you don’t have to do this, right?”

“You don’t understand.” Chen Che wiped his tears. “Don’t worry about me. Hurry up and eat.”

Lin Xi shook her head helplessly and did not say anything else.

Chen Che’s appearance once again caused a heated discussion among the netizens.

[No way? Is this steak that delicious?]

[Yeah, it’s so delicious that I’m crying. Does it really exist?]

[I don’t think so. Is it because this fellow can’t bear to part with money?] (f)reewebnovel

[How is that possible? It’s only $200. Is there a need to cry?]

If Chen Che saw these words, he would definitely think to himself, “What do you know? This meal cost me two million!”

Amidst everyone’s discussion, the two of them finished their meal not long after.

If not for the fact that he was afraid of being laughed at, Chen Che would have licked his plate. He did not want to waste a single sesame seed on such a luxurious dinner.

At 10:30 pm, Chen Che safely sent Lin Xi home.

At this moment, Lin Xi transferred the remaining 800 dollars to Chen Che and said, “There’s still half an hour before work. You wouldn’t be on time. Why don’t you take a taxi?”

“Alright, sleep early tonight. Don’t stay up late anymore,” Chen Che reminded.

“Got it. Good night.” Lin Xi smiled sweetly and turned to go upstairs.

Seeing that Lin Xi’s house had lit up, Chen Che did not dawdle and ran!
