MTLNOVEL Chapter 48 Satisfied
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the man nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Satis—satisfying."
Because Lu Yu had forcefully poured a bowl of insanely spicy hot pot broth over him, the man's voice was extremely hoarse, but despite this hoarseness, one could clearly sense the fear in his heart.
"If it was satisfying, good. If you don't think it was enough, I can order you another pot!"
Lu Yu lightly tapped his fingers on the copper pot beside him and said to the man, his words still cold, making the man's whole body tense.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, the man's face turned pale, and sweat rolled down from his forehead. He looked at Lu Yu in a panic and hurriedly said, "No need, no need..."
A small pot of insanely spicy hot pot broth was enough to make him feel worse than dying. If he got another pot, it would definitely kill him with spiciness right here.
"Uh... Bro... Can I leave now?"
The man, sweating profusely, looked at Lu Yu and asked hoarsely, full of respect in his voice. His most urgent wish now was to leave this place. As soon as he saw Lu Yu, his heart couldn't help but race, and his skin tensed up discreetly.
"Of course you can," Lu Yu said calmly, "But if you're willing to sit down and eat something, I don't mind." Lu Yu glanced at the disheveled man next to him.
"No need, no need."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, the man's face again turned white, and he quickly said in panic. His throat felt like it had been poked with a lump of charcoal, and every word he spoke came with a sting of pain. If he sat down to eat, it would be a clear act of self-torture.
"Since you don't need it, why are you still standing here? Waiting for me to pay your bill?"
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and said to the man, his words tinged with a hint of impatience.
At these words, the man shivered, immediately understood Lu Yu's meaning, turned his head suddenly, and ran out of the hot pot restaurant as fast as he could.
Watching the man's embarrassed departure, Lu Yu smiled slightly, then picked up a piece of fatty beef and said to Wen Ya, "Alright, the trouble is solved, we can continue eating now."
...
After a while, Lu Yu and Wen Ya were satiated and left the hot pot restaurant. Wen Ya came to the car and said to Lu Yu, "So, little brother, sister's going back to the company now. Do you want to come with me?"
Looking at the charming Wen Ya, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "Not today. It's rare to have a justified chance to skip work, so I want to walk around the streets of LA City. I don't want to look at Leng Qingqiu's eternally expressionless face any longer."
Indeed, Lu Yu had left LA City for five years and had yet to properly see the city he had been away from for so long, so he planned to take this opportunity to explore.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Wen Ya smiled slightly and said, "President Leng is a renowned beauty in LA City, and here you are talking about her like that."
"I admit she's a beauty, but she's always as cold as ice, only suitable for looking at. Sister Demon, on the other hand, looks much nicer." As he spoke, Lu Yu's eyes wandered over Wen Ya's full bust, showing a playful expression.
"Little brother, stop teasing your sister. I'm already almost thirty, soon to be an old lady in a couple of years. How can it be as good as you say?" Wen Ya said to Lu Yu, full of laughter.
"Sis, you just don't know. In our eyes, mature women are always more attractive than young girls. Those teenage girls may look fresh and young, but they haven't matured. Far less enticing than women like you, sis," Lu Yu explained, emphasizing the words 'more enticing.'
Wen Ya was amused by Lu Yu's words, her chest heaving slightly, making for an eye-catching sight. "Little brother, you have such a sweet mouth. I know you're just trying to cheer me up, but I'm still especially happy."
"What I'm saying is the absolute truth!"
Lu Yu said with a helpless expression, recalling a line he once heard in a nightclub: "When I speak seriously, you think I'm joking, and when I joke, you think I'm speaking the truth."
Wen Ya smiled slightly at Lu Yu's words and then said, "Alright, enough kidding. I'm heading back to the company. If you get the chance, you're welcome to visit my place. I'll give you a proper reception then~"
Her words were incredibly alluring, and she even licked her lips sensuously, making for an enticing sight. Seeing this, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Sure, I'll definitely come 'play' with sister when I get the chance."
After saying this, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. This woman was truly a captivating beauty, no wonder so many men were drooling over her.
Having said this, Wen Ya smiled slightly, got into the car, and drove off toward Victory Group.
In the car, looking at Lu Yu through the rearview mirror, Wen Ya smiled coquettishly, her smile carrying a hint of complexity, and said softly, "I heard he was just a good-for-nothing playboy, but after meeting him today, he's surprisingly interesting. He's a good person."
Watching Wen Ya's departure, Lu Yu exhaled slowly and said softly, "Now I can take a good look at this city I left five years ago and also cash the check I got from Guo Jiarui."
The check had a ten-day validity after issuance, after which the fifty million on it would become worthless, so Lu Yu needed to cash it quickly.
Thinking this, Lu Yu shook his head. Having left the city for five years, it was now the perfect chance to explore his long-missed Lin'an.
Thinking this, Lu Yu got on a bus and headed forward slowly.
