Chapter 433: The First Time Being Hit by the Opposite Sex
Actually, to be more precise, he wasn’t really a boyfriend but an online male friend. During her time studying abroad, she met a male friend through Facebook...They had similar interests. She loved eating, and so did he. When studying became boring, she would chat with him, and after each conversation, she felt recharged, motivated to be a better version of herself and would head to class with great energy the next day.
Over time, they became familiar strangers. She would share some of her life’s troubles with him, and he’d enthusiastically offer advice.
Besides finding a suitable internship this time, the most important thing was to meet him in person.
Because he was also from Hong Kong!
Yuan Yumeng thought it was a wonderful kind of fate, so she was really looking forward to meeting him.
Huo Junting glanced at the rearview mirror, noticing the girl reflected inside, with a face full of sweet happiness, indeed looking like she was in love...
He suddenly let out a cold snort.
The car was quiet, so Yuan Yumeng heard it clearly, "Hey! What do you mean by that snort just now?
You were clearly a warm-hearted guy when you were little, why have you changed like this as you’ve grown up?
They say girls undergo a transformation; does the same apply to guys?
And not for the better either.
"Nothing."
At this moment, Huo Junting drove into an underground parking lot of a commercial store. If it weren’t suddenly dim, Yuan Yumeng wouldn’t have even realized it. She glanced around and hurriedly said, "Hey! This isn’t my home, you don’t even know where I live?"
How could it be possible! Isn’t he dating Yu Xi? He can’t not know her family’s place.
Huo Junting turned off the engine with a cold face, saying, "There’s a Pizza Hut upstairs, get out!"
"Uh..." Yuan Yumeng was a bit confused, was he planning to treat her to Pizza Hut?
Suddenly, he didn’t seem as annoying as before; at least he knew to treat a girl to something to eat.
Yuan Yumeng thought, but then realized, why would he treat her to food? Didn’t he hate her very much?
Just now, they seemed to be bickering in the car, right!
"Hey, you’re treating me to food, do you have some ulterior motive?" Yuan Yumeng asked cautiously.
Huo Junting was about to walk out of the parking lot, and hearing this, he found it a bit amusing, he turned back and retorted: "Do you think you have anything on you that would tempt me to have ulterior motives?"
As he spoke, the man gave Yuan Yumeng an examining look with a bit of depth in his eyes, "Sorry, but I have no appetite for fat women!"
"You..."
The words infuriated Yuan Yumeng so much she nearly took off her shoe to throw at him. If her self-control weren’t strong, she might have already done so.
"Hurry and keep up." Huo Junting said displeased, walking ahead: "If it wasn’t for Song Song’s instructions, do you think I’d invite you for food?"
Yuan Yumeng suddenly realized, oh, it was because of Song Song, how could she forget that possibility...
Since that’s the case, she wouldn’t be polite. Wasn’t he going to treat her to food?
Then she’s going to eat well, really well!
Upon reaching Pizza Hut, the two found a seat by the window. Shortly, the waitress came with menus to take their order...
When the waitress handed the menu, Yuan Yumeng boldly declared, "All of it on the menu!"
"Wha-what?"
The waitress thought she must have misheard. She wasn’t a rookie after all, having worked at the store for several years and encountering all kinds of customers, but this was the first time someone ordered everything on the menu, naturally making her a bit surprised!
Yuan Yumeng smiled kindly, "You didn’t mishear, bring me everything on the menu."
"Oh, okay, okay."
The waitress grinned brightly. To order everything on the menu, that’s definitely not cheap, a rare big customer! Of course, she had to smile enthusiastically.
After the delighted waitress left, Yuan Yumeng looked up at the man sitting across from her, expecting to see another surprised face...
But unexpectedly, the man remained extremely calm.
Was he not at all surprised she wanted to eat that much?
Even if he wasn’t shocked by her appetite, shouldn’t he be concerned about his wallet?
Oh! She forgot, he was wealthy! He was the CEO of the Huo Family, this amount of money was nothing to him.
Initially, she felt a bit guilty about ordering so much, but now she felt none. She’d just treat it as him supporting a "refugee" who had just returned from abroad!
Nearly two months out there, she really hadn’t had anything good to eat, primarily because everything was too expensive, and she couldn’t afford it.
Oddly enough, her weight not only didn’t go down, but it actually went up. Perhaps she was now seriously bloated.
Before long, the waitress started bringing up dishes slowly; Yuan Yumeng was happily eating, and meanwhile, her online friend suddenly came online seeking her, so she started eating while looking at her phone.
Yuan Yumeng was so engrossed that she failed to notice the increasingly cold expression on the man’s face across from her or his brows furrowed tightly enough to kill a fly.
Huo Junting suddenly stood up from his seat and, catching her off guard, reached out and snatched her phone, speaking in a chilly tone, "Eating or chatting, pick one!"
Yuan Yumeng stared at him blankly, "Huo Junting, you... you’re out of line! Give my phone back! That’s my phone!"
What business was it of his if she chatted while eating!
Wasn’t he being a bit too controlling?
Huo Junting looked at her, his face as if covered with a layer of frost, "If you’re not eating, take your phone and leave!"
In the end, Yuan Yumeng couldn’t resist the temptation of the food, especially with a table full of delicacies in front of her. All right! Since eating with a phone is indeed unhealthy, she decided to hold her anger for now.
Perhaps it had been too long since she had substantial meals; as she continued eating, Yuan Yumeng felt like she would vomit, suddenly feeling the food was too greasy, and continuing might make her throw up on the spot.
So after trying two or three items, she called the waitress and happily said, "Could you please pack everything up, I can’t finish it."
"Can’t finish it?" The waitress glanced at the still loaded table, then at Huo Junting, smiling, "Sir, aren’t you going to eat some?"
There’s still so much left to pack, truly time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Huo Junting’s gaze grew colder, he rose from his seat and straightened his suit, "No need to pack it."
Having said that, he didn’t wait for Yuan Yumeng and walked straight to the exit...
Seeing this, Yuan Yumeng quickly said, "Then, then forget it, I won’t pack it up."
At this moment, her heart was truly bleeding, such a waste of good food, she wondered how the people at Pizza Hut would handle it?
But now she couldn’t worry about that; she rushed to the parking lot, only to see the man just about to get into the car...
Yuan Yumeng, filled with rage, directly threw her bag at the man’s back, "Huo Junting! If you didn’t want to treat, then don’t invite! Although I’m poor, I’m not about to starve!"
In all this time, Huo Junting had only been hit by a female once before, when he was fourteen.
He abruptly turned around, remarkably, a little figure from his memory overlapped with the flushed-faced chubby woman in front of him...
