The Beautiful Time With You

Lu Benlai: “!!!”

Why did he even bother trying to include them in the conversation? It would have been much better for him to continue with his monologue.

Xia Shangzhou: “???”

The three tenants of Room 501 were originally made up of one single nobility and two single dogs, but all of a sudden, he was the only single dog left. This was already heart-wrenching on his part, but why did a casual response from their boss to Little Lailai’s question have to further crush whatever little that was left of his heart?

Despite Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou’s abrupt silence, Lin Jiage did not seem to notice that his words had already dealt critical damage to those two.

He glanced at the two of them and pondered for a moment before adding, “If the three of us were to fall out of love one day, I am confident that I will not be as devastated as the both of you.”

Xia Shangzhou, “Why? Is it because your love is not as deep?”

Lu Benlai, “Or rather, boss, your love is just a lie?”

Lin Jiage looked at his food and explained as a matter-of-factly, “Because even without love, I still have money. However, the two of you will be left with neither love nor money.”

Xia Shangzhou: “…”

After all that had been said, it was just another dagger aimed at their hearts? Why in the world did he respond to their Boss’ words earlier? He should have just ignored it!

Lu Benlai, “…”

He had always known that their Boss had a vicious tongue, but why was he unable to get that into his head? Each and every time, he would get caught up in their Boss’ pace and end up getting hurt!

Fearing further traumatising remarks from Lin Jiage, Lu Benlai swiftly pulled the topic back on track, “Putting the both of you aside, I am certain that my wife will attempt to return the 520 RMB when she notices the sum in her AliPay!

“So, what I’ll do is that I’ll blacklist her account so that she wouldn’t be able to transfer the money back to me. By then, she would have no choice but to look for me personally. However, I’ll continue avoiding her and instead get someone to have her leave her phone number to me instead. With this, I’ll be able to get her phone number too!”

Xia Shangzhou: “I don’t know where your confidence originates from, but what if Leng Nuan was to spend it away like me? Or else, what if she’s a second-generation tycoon just like our Boss? Perhaps, she might not have even realized the difference in her bank account. What would you do then?”

Lu Benlai: “That’s simple! I’ll report her to the police, and the police will surely get in touch with her. By then, I’ll still be able to get my hands on her phone number.

“In other words, it doesn’t matter whether she returns me the 520 RMB or not. From the moment she revealed her AliPay account to me, her phone number is already mine to claim!”

While Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou were prattling on about their scheme, Lin Jiage’s thoughts had already drifted afar.

He had barely touched his food at all. His head was still turning around the place, searching for the familiar face he was seeking.

But his efforts fell flat. Shi Yao was nowhere in sight. Instead, what that caught his attention was a couple sitting opposite to him.

This couple had only ordered a single dish. Judging from the bowl before them, it was likely to be noodles of some kind.

As the girl fiddled with her phone, the boy carefully placed the noodle into the spoon and blew on it before delivering it into the girl’s mouth.

As the girl ate, the sides of her mouth would occasionally be stained with soup. The boy would then take out a piece of tissue paper and carefully wipe her mouth.

This boy… He is such a bootlicker!

Lin Jiage thought disdainfully as he retracted his gaze.

But two seconds later, his gaze returned back to the couple again.
