Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Bantering
Luo Huian was disgusted by the approach of Qi Yongrui but she was honestly tempted by his offer. If she had this lunch with him, she would be free of this mer who was eyeing her virtue for fifteen days.

Fifteen days of total peace… she was rather enticed by the offer that Qi Yongrui had made to her.

“So?” Seeing the look of reluctance on Luo Huian’s face easing a bit, Qi Yongrui blinked his eyes and patiently asked, “What will it be? Are you going to agree?”

“Fine,” Luo Huian said snappishly. She snorted and pulled the chair before sitting down on it, “This is my second time seeing someone aware of the fact that he is not welcomed and yet keeps sticking his hot face against a cold bottom.”

Qi Yongrui was not offended by her words. He had never been someone who would let his emotions rule his actions, if he was —then he would have certainly not survived the hardships of the Qi family.

The reason he was sitting here in front of her was he knew how to bend and fold for his benefit and survival. His brother relied on him and was waiting for him to make him get better.

He couldn’t let him down.

After all, Qi Yongrui only lived and breathed for his brother. He was the only beacon of light in his sorry life. Other than his brother he cared little to nothing about what others thought about him.

In fact, he wasn’t even bothered when Luo Huian told him that he was the second person who was trying to stick to her even though she kept pushing him away.

As long as his brother could get away from the Qi family and their control, he was willing to do anything.

Even handing over his life in exchange for Luo Huian’s.

Luo Huian could sense that the mer was not interested in anything other than the goal in his mind. She had tried to provoke him, egged him on purpose and yet he remained calm and steady as if he was partially deaf, only hearing what he wanted while ignoring everything else.

How annoying, Luo Huian clicked her tongue and thought inwardly. She could be playing Mega Apocalypse Mutation but no, he just had to ruin her time by suggesting that they had this useless dinner which neither of them wanted.

At the same time, Luo Huian was curious. Qi Yongrui didn’t seem like someone who could be controlled and yet he was going through such lengths to get close to her.

What exactly was he thinking and why was he doing this? She wondered.

However, her train of thought was broken when the waiter entered their room. He ignored the cold-faced Qi Yongrui and turned to look at Luo Huian before asking, “What would you like, Miss?”

Luo Huian raised her head and stared at the mer in confusion. Couldn’t he see that she was not the one who was holding the menu?

And why was he only asking her what she wanted, could he not see that there was also Qi Yongrui sitting in the room?

Though Lui Huian did not like the mer, she still found it uncomfortable when she saw that the waiter had practically brushed off Qi Yongrui. There was a time when she was ignored just like this and Luo Huian knew that it was not a good feeling.

She turned to look at Qi Yongrui whose head was lowered and said to him, “Tell the waiter what you want.”

Qi Yongrui snapped his head up and looked at her with a look of bewilderment. “You are asking me to order first?”

“And that’s a problem because?” Luo Huian asked with a frown on her face, what was this grown-up mer? Did he stare at the menu for so long because he wanted to make his temporary mistress?

No, right? He was staring at it because he wanted to order something to eat but she hadn’t even looked at it. So who should be the one ordering it?

“It is not a problem,” Qi Yongrui answered. He was just surprised that Luo Huian was letting him order. In the past, though he often held the menu in his hands or took a look at the clothes in the shopping mall, the one who chose everything from his meal to what kind of clothes he was going to wear was his sister.

And since he was not used to picking anything for himself, he let others do it for him. In fact, this was his first time being asked to order first or to give his opinion on what he wanted.

He raised his head and said to the waiter who disgruntedly looked at Qi Yongrui, “I would like to order spicy as well as ginger and onion crayfish. And two bowls of crawfish pie and cider.”

He turned to look at Luo Huian before asking, “Would you like to order anything or make any changes?”

“It’s fine,” with her hands thrust in her pants pockets and her body leaning at the backrest of the chair, Luo Huian licked her upper lip before saying, “Since you have already ordered I will have it. I don’t think you will order someone unappetising.”

‘Yongrui, you have no idea about other people’s preferences. So why not leave this matter to me? Your sister knows it better than you, so you just sit still and wait.’

‘This is not what I wanted. Tsk, you really cannot do anything, such a simple task and you managed to make a mess out of it.’

Qi Yongrui clenched his fingers as he placed the menu down on the table. Luo Huian didn’t find any fault with him? Nor did she tell him that he did not know anything about her preferences.

He furrowed his brows lightly and felt a new surge of emotion in his heart which overwhelmed him.

And he wasn’t the only one, the waiter who had been trying to get close to Luo Huian was also overwhelmed.

With jealousy!
