Chapter 158- Making him back off

Shi Xue took another sip of her tea as she thought to herself, 'Hmm... seems like he reacts rather strongly whenever I respond with Zhi Hei's caring nature towards me.. let me test again when they ask me something.'

She purposely took the last pork bun on the table that Cliffard was aiming for with his chopsticks to start a war with him. After placing the last bun onto her plate, she grinned only in an angle where Cliffard could see. "Whoops, did you want this? I wouldn't mind giving you the food I've touched. Here, take it."

Zhi Hei could tell from the tone of her voice that she was picking a fight. Cliffard was furious inside, but he couldn't reveal his anger in front of Zhi Hei so he held it in. "It's alright, ladies first. I can always order another of the same dish."

He snapped his fingers and asked for another plate of the steamed pork buns."

The waitress frowned and bowed her head, "I'm sorry sir. That dish you ordered was the last we have for today. Our pork buns are the most popular on our menu and there is a limited number of dishes that we make per day."

"I'm a VIP here. Can't you make an exception?"

"Sorry, sir. These are the rules. The chef who makes these buns already left for the day."

"whatever. It's fine. Go."

Zhi Hei looked towards Shi Xue who was slowly peeling the paper from the bottom of the bun.

"Cliffard, if you really want to eat the pork bun, Shi Xue already said you could have it if you want it. She doesn't mind."

A flash of fury appeared on Shi Xue's eyes, 'Stupid Zhi Hei!!! How come his damn EQ is so low when it comes to his friends and me!!! it's obvious I'm starting a war with him! Interrupting my plans! Hmph!'

Clffard smiled and turned towards Shi Xue, "Miss. Shi, is your offer still active?"

Shi Xue smiled, "Of course it is. Here, you can have this. I am going to excuse myself to the restroom. You two can continue chatting."

After she got to the bathroom, she texted her mom to ask for assistance.

"Mom!! mom!! I need your help."

"What's wrong?"

"I think some guy is after Zhi Hei. No no! He is definitely going for zhi Hei. And Zhi Hei doesn't damn realize he is the sheep in the wolf's eye."

"Huh?"

"Teach me ways to get rid of rivals"

"Then, you can only do things that'll make them jealous to the point of explosion. Also, don't let that person off easily. Make sure to feed them extreme dog food that they will feel so grossed out that they'll back off."

"Uhh.... okay... I'll try to do that."

"good! Now delete these texts before you do what you'll do so Zhi Hei won't find out~"

"Thanks..."

After she washed her hands, a nice idea popped up. She evilly grinned as she walked back to the table. After settling down, she started eating again. She took off her heels for her right foot and started teasing Zhi Hei's under the table. She slowly brushed her foot against his leg making him shiver. He almost spilled the wine when he felt her flirtatious move under the table. 'Hey hey... does she still realize that we are in public?? But a shameless her... is quite nice too...'

She smiled and reached out for the glass of wine in his hands. "Zhi Hei, you've drank too much for tonight. I'll finish the rest for you. I'm sure Cliffard wouldn't mind being my drinking partner instead right?"

"Of course not. You're caring for Zhi Hei's health. I remember back then, there was a girl just like you except she was his secretary. She was fired the next day because she interrupted his business affairs. Haha, she sure didn't know her position."

"Oh? I've never heard of this from Zhi Hei. But I'm sure he wouldn't dare to fire me~ He did love me for all these years and finally, we started dating. You should see his face the other time when one of the maids accidentally spilled soup on my pinky. He called 10 doctors after dr. Chen Mu came to examine me from head to toe. At the end, it was only slightly red. He applied medicine on my pinky and kissed it every time I chanted pain." she chuckled as she sipped the wine and glanced at Cliffard.

He loosened his tie and almost cracked his glass of wine after he heard her words. "Zhi Hei, I didn't know you had such a side! When Hui Yan fell down and bled, you weren't as concerned!"

Zhi Hei's eyes were focused on her as he responded, "It wasn't JUST a burn. Her pinky was red! It was hot soup!! What if it leaves a scar? Cliffard, you'll understand when you have a wife..."

She smiled, "You're talking as if you have one already."

He smiled enchantedly as he placed more food onto her emptied plate, "Oh? But you're already mine. Even if you claim you aren't mine, I'm already yours. So it wouldn't matter. You need to take responsibility for me. Eventually, you'll be my wife."

"Who said I'll marry you? Let's see how well your perform before your proposal, then we talk about marriage."

Cliffard choked on his wine and coughed continuously. At the end, he excused himself from the table to clean is shirt in the bathroom.

'So... this time I really have competition.'
