My Wife is an Evil Dragon

Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Magic · Dragon Water Absorption!

Under the table, Xia Li felt a long leg stretching towards him at a tricky angle.

The ankle of that leg hooked straight onto Xia Li’s ankle, rubbing against his calf.

Damn it, there’s a pervert.

The thought that this leg belonged to Chen Tao, who was sitting across from him, made Xia Li want to stand up and punch someone right now.

Chen Tao took a bite of his steak, pretending to be nonchalant. This guy never cut his steak, just shoved it into his mouth and bit it—just like the evil dragon next to Xia Li who couldn’t use a knife and fork, trying to figure out how to eat and getting her little mouth covered in black pepper sauce.

Xia Li looked up and glanced at Chen Tao across the table.

Chen Tao pointed at his phone and mouthed something to Xia Li.

‘Look at your phone!’

Xia Li had to take out his phone and unlock it. As soon as he unlocked it, two message notifications from Chen Tao popped up.

Peach: You didn’t order a couple’s set for Little Lu, you ordered a kid’s meal??

Peach: Do you like to treat your wife like a daughter??

Peach: What kind of fetish is this, is Little Lu even full!?

Xia Li raised his eyebrows and looked back at Chen Tao.

What’s wrong with a kid’s meal?

Don’t underestimate this guy who’s eating a kid’s meal, she can eat ten kid’s… meals in one go.

Peach: Girls have small appetites, but they don’t eat the portions of a seven or eight-year-old child, do they?!

Chen Tao just felt that his good brother was a bit of a straight man.

He was worried that this was Xia Li’s first time in love and he didn’t know how to take care of a girl, so he was anxious after witnessing all this.

Some things were not good to say in front of Little Lu, so he chose to remind Xia Li by sending messages.

“Sir, this is your additional order.”

While Chen Tao was winking at Xia Li, feeling disappointed in him, the waitress brought another plate of cheese baked rice and a plate of spaghetti with tomato meat sauce.

“Put it in front of her.” Xia Li gestured with his face towards the evil dragon who was burying her head in her food.

Of course, Xia Li knew Lucia’s appetite very well.

This guy could eat as much as three people, so a total of three main courses plus various snacks was just right for Lucia.

Since he had promised Lucia to bring her to eat good food, he naturally had to make sure she was full.

Fortunately, Xia Li actually saw rice on the menu, but he didn’t know if Lucia would be used to this Western-style baked rice.

Summer Dawn: I ordered the kid’s meal because it has three kinds of meat patties, land, sea, and air, and I wanted her to try them all.

Summer Dawn: And she wanted to eat both noodles and rice, so I added a portion of each for her.

Peach: …

Alright.

He thought Xia Li would be a rookie at taking care of his girlfriend.

Unexpectedly, this guy was more reliable than himself, the love strategist.

He had misjudged him.

Seeing Chen Tao deflated like a punctured ball and shrinking back in his chair, Xia Li calmly took a sip of his drink.

Couple’s set?

He had his eyes on that thing at first glance.

But that set included a bottle of red wine.

The shops near the university town knew the ins and outs of young couples best.

What young couple wouldn’t fall for this kind of reserved yet natural opportunity to drink?

Xia Li, however, didn’t.

Letting the evil dragon drink alcohol… was a very scary thing.

No one knew what would happen.

After all, she still had some wildness in her bones, and Xia Li couldn’t guarantee that after drinking, Lucia’s wildness wouldn’t overwhelm her rationality.

If it was at home, it would be fine. There was the Demon Repelling Sword at home, and no matter how much Lucia’s dragon nature erupted, Xia Li could just draw his sword and scare her into hiding in the corner.

But now, outside, it was definitely not okay.

If she wanted to drink, she could only drink at home.

“How is it, is it good?”

Xia Li tilted his head and saw the evil dragon’s mouth full of black pepper sauce and tomato juice, and he couldn’t help but want to wipe it for her.

Lucia was busy eating, her little mouth had no time to answer Xia Li’s question, she just kept nodding.

“You have to bite the noodles, the spaghetti is too thick to swallow directly.” Xia Li was afraid that the evil dragon would choke herself, so he kept reminding her.

◈◈◈

Lucia nodded vigorously.

After eating for about ten minutes, the three plates in front of Lucia were empty.

She began to clear the final battlefield—the drinks, and some snacks like chicken wings and fries.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Tao leaned back on the table and collected resources for his mobile game, occasionally glancing up at this side.

As for Xia Li’s girlfriend’s appetite, although Chen Tao felt that she had a bit of a good appetite, it wasn’t strange.

This girl was thin and small, Xia Li should feed her more.

That way, she could grow from a ‘little sister’ to a ‘big sister’ sooner.

It could be considered as fulfilling Boss Xia’s dream.

“Are you full, do you want to eat more?”

Seeing that Lucia had put down her fork contentedly, Xia Li asked again.

But this guy just put down her fork to drink her beverage. She took a big gulp of her drink, then picked up a butterfly shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth.

She looked at Xia Li, then at the ‘guest’ in front of Xia Li who was looking down at his phone.

Lucia put down the leftover shrimp tail in her hand and quietly asked in Xia Li’s ear.

“Is that drink over there good?”

Lucia was referring to the pink drink in Chen Tao’s hand.

“You want to try it?” Xia Li asked.

“No,” Lucia shook her head.

“Humans are sick, they are exposed to much more pollution than dragons every day. Dragons clean themselves with cleaning magic every day, but humans don’t.” Lucia was very disgusted.

“I mean, if you want to drink it, I’ll buy you one.” Xia Li explained.

Since he had decided to splurge today, he certainly wouldn’t be short of a drink.

Lucia fell silent.

It didn’t seem like she really wanted to try it.

“Is it expensive?”

“About twenty something a cup.”

“Twenty something…?” Lucia didn’t expect such a small drink to be so expensive.

“Then forget it, you can buy a lot of fried rice cakes with twenty something.”

Xia Li thought to himself, the evil dragon was actually quite thrifty.

Across the table, Chen Tao, who had been called ‘sick’, raised his eyelids.

What were these two lovebirds whispering about?

He seemed to have heard Little Lu mention his situation just now?

Old Xia, don’t worry, if Little Lu asks, I’ll say: ‘Never been in love’, ‘No white moonlight’, ‘Brother Xia only played with boys when he was a kid’, ‘A girl’s hand? What’s that? The only hand Brother Xia has ever held is my big dog’s!’

Chen Tao was full of energy, with an expression that said ‘This strategist has already thought of a countermeasure’.

Lucia didn’t understand the complicated expression on this human male’s face.

But she really wasn’t interested in this human male’s things.

“I’ll just try yours.”

Lucia leaned her head close to Xia Li and said in a hushed voice.

After she finished speaking, her dragon mouth had already grabbed Xia Li’s straw.

Xia Li was drinking kumquat black tea, and there was still more than half a cup of black tea left, but when he came back to his senses and looked down, he saw a round head emerge from his arms.

“Gulp—”

Evil dragon Lucia is launching a Dragon Water Absorption attack on your drink…

Wait, was his drink the target all along??

What happened to the disgust for human diseases?

After all that build-up, it was just for a sneak attack!
