Chapter 569: Appetite
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Xiaoxiao had never realized before that Yan Kuan could be foolish at times. Moreover, when he was foolish, she did not know how to describe it.
“You guys can leave first.”
“You need to replenish your energy.”
19’s words were low and full of worry. Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head. She knew that she had to eat a lot of food before going to bed every day. Of course, since Long Xi wanted to find a place to discuss these things with her… She had also thought about where she was going.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
19 glanced at Long Xi, turned around, and left with Yun Qi and the others. Since Dark 3 was a secret guard, he naturally returned to the dark place like Dark 1.
Seeing that the two parties had left, Long Xi drove the car over. Shen Xiaoxiao did not hesitate and sat on it.
“Go…”
“Let’s go to Liu Li Residence.”
It was the Chinese restaurant that Shen Xiaoxiao had been to before, and it was also the closest place to this place. Long Xi did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to suddenly request to go there. However, when he recalled the scene where 19 handed her a thermos cup. He thought for a moment and said:
“Let me take you to a place. It’s not far, and the food there is very good.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was noncommittal. As long as she could eat something quickly, she did not care whether the food was good or not.
After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at a very ordinary small courtyard. Outside, it looked like a rural farm that could be seen everywhere. However, after driving in, they realized that this place was like a private clubhouse.
Entering the private room, Shen Xiaoxiao saw that Long Xi was familiar with the road and immediately knew that this was his territory.
“Let’s see what you want to eat. Anything you want.”
“Your restaurant?”
“Yeah, so, order whatever you like and give me your opinion. The Chinese food here is pretty good.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the menu and did not hesitate. She immediately ordered a few hard dishes. They were enough for at least seven or eight people before she stopped.
However, Long Xi did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. It was normal to eat whatever he liked. Actually, it was strange. Everyone had told Long Xi that he was Korean, but Long Xi was used to the delicacies of China. This was something that he had not figured out for a long time.
“Didn’t Boss Long say that there is Yan Kuan’s whereabouts?”
Shen Xiaoxiao stepped on it and casually leaned back. She was trying to use her most comfortable state to conserve every bit of energy in her body, so she naturally did what she felt comfortable doing.
Her comfortable appearance made Long Xi’s eyes shine again. He felt that Shen Xiaoxiao was indeed different towards him. It was the first time he had seen her in such a relaxed state.
“I do have some whereabouts that are related to the old woman, so I like to be able to work with Xiaoxiao.”
Shen Xiaoxiao had long guessed that the ultimate purpose of her following him here was to join forces? However, she just did not want him to join forces so easily.
“How do you want to work together?”
“It’s very simple. I just need the Dark Empire to set up all the seaports and border crossings, and block all the exits. I want her to be like a trapped beast, and she can only turn around on the spot.”
One only needed to calm down and think about why Long Xi wanted Shen Xiaoxiao to do this. After all, for the 24th Street of the Western District, this ability had not reached the level where it could easily put M Country into a state of national martial law, but the Dark Empire could easily do it.
“Can you tell me why you want to get rid of the old woman? As far as I know, you were working for her before.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not agree or disagree. She just threw out a very normal question.
Long Xi did not hide anything and said directly, “I don’t have the habit of letting people bully me.”
This answer was true and overbearing, but Shen Xiaoxiao did not believe it. However, even if she did not believe it, she would still join hands with him. After all, the old woman was someone she had to get rid of?
Shen Xiaoxiao did not answer for a long time. Instead, she closed her eyes and sat there. Long Xi did not urge her. It was not until the dishes were served that Shen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and sat up straight. She picked up the chopsticks and did not hide her hunger and embarrassment at all. She even began to eat eagerly.
Long Xi frowned slightly. It was not because she did not eat well. On the contrary, Shen Xiaoxiao seemed to know that she was hungry. Even so, other than being a little faster, her actions were not rough or embarrassing.
What made him feel a little wrong was the way she ate. Was she really that hungry?
Long Xi personally scooped up a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her. Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t raise her head or say thank you. She was eating very attentively, and Long Xi could clearly see that she was eating all meat. She didn’t even touch the vegetables.
Out of the blue, he picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and placed them in her bowl, but she still ate them all without even looking at them. Her movements were swift, and her oily little mouth didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
It was not until Long Xi himself was surprised that he did not even move his chopsticks and watched as Shen Xiaoxiao wiped out the entire table of meat and vegetables that he slowly stopped eating.
“Do you want more?”
Long Xi was not being sarcastic, but was really asking her. Shen Xiaoxiao finally stopped the temptation of the food and looked up at him with a faint smile. “That’s enough, thank you.”
Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao did not eat until she was full, but still looked calm and collected, Long Xi actually smiled and let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was just that Shen Xiaoxiao’s appetite was a little bigger than an ordinary person’s.
“As for Boss Long’s previous suggestion, I think it’s feasible.”
Long Xi was stunned at first, but then he immediately reacted. She nodded and agreed after eating a meal? So easy to talk to?
“Xiaoxiao suddenly became so easy to talk to?”
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Besides, it will be easier and faster to clean up the Western District’s 24th Street after dealing with the big problem in my heart.”
“Hahaha, Xiaoxiao has made me happier and happier.”
Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at him and got up to leave. However, she did not forget that she had followed his car here.
“Boss Long, do you mind giving me a ride?”
“My house is very close to here. Xiaoxiao, do you want to take a ride?”
“It’s in the middle of the night. Do you think it’s convenient to go to your place?”
“I don’t think it’s inconvenient anywhere.”
“Since you have the time, Boss Long, you should hurry up and deal with your matters. I’m still waiting for you to tell me about our Yan Kuan.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s words were obviously sarcastic, and Long Xi naturally understood it. However, he really did have some information about the Black Emperor, but seeing how Xiaoxiao looked, there was no need to say it now. It was better to wait for him to find out more before saying anything.
Once in the car, Shen Xiaoxiao closed her eyes to rest. Long Xi did not talk either. He kept feeling that the Shen Xiaoxiao he saw today was a little more tired than usual, and a little more delicate. Such a strong woman had to support such a big stall… It was actually very difficult to see softness from her. But tonight, he really felt that Xiaoxiao’s appearance made his heart ache for some reason.
Bang…
The bullet hit the rear window glass with a violent sound….
