Chapter 37

It turned out that Huang Mao and Jessica were the ones in the parking lot earlier, watching Lip through the gap in the curtain from the back kitchen.

The yellow guy seemed to be reporting to Jessica, speaking very respectfully.

Lip calmly withdrew his gaze, silently thinking to himself.

After a while, Jessica smiled and swayed her hips as she pushed a dining cart filled with dishes, boiled water, and rice.

"Handsome, here's your order: mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, kung pao chicken, boiled pork slices, stir-fried vegetables, and a three-fresh soup," Jessica said as she served each dish.

"This is the boiled water you asked for," she added.

"And here's the rice and pickled radish from our store. Please enjoy it with your friends and family."

Jessica gave a slight bow.

"Three grams of oil!" Lip smiled, responding in Longwen, "We don't need any service for now, so you can go back to your work."

"Okay, enjoy your meal!" Jessica said, turning to leave.

But as she moved, her high heels seemed unstable, and she suddenly stumbled backward.

Lip knew this was likely a deliberate move to test him. He feigned surprise and prepared to step in.

However, in an instant, Lip saw the golden exclamation mark above Jessica's head.

At that moment, he no longer wanted to intervene.

After all, she was the target given by the system!

His reflexes kicked in like a dragon striking with lightning speed. He caught Jessica's slender waist.

So thin and soft! he thought as he helped steady her and helped her regain her balance.

"Are you okay?"

"Thank you so much, handsome," Jessica said, bowing deeply and flashing Lip her sweetest smile.

"It was nothing," Lip replied with a grin, quickly withdrawing his hand and returning to his meal.

Lip couldn't openly check Jessica's attributes, so he decided to let it go for now.

Jessica continued her work, neatly pushing the cart back to the kitchen.

"How are you, Miss?" Huang Mao asked, approaching.

"I just tested it out. That guy's skills are not inferior to mine. He probably saved you through trickery," Jessica replied.

"Let me look into this further. You can go ahead and rest now," she instructed.

"Understood." Huang Mao clasped his fists and bowed before leaving.

Jessica watched Lip through the kitchen's curtain gap, filled with curiosity.

Who is this handsome guy? His skills are impressive!

Lip could feel her gaze but pretended not to notice. He continued eating and chatting with Karen and Karl.

Both Karen and Karl were new to Chinatown and found everything here fascinating.

At Lip's suggestion, they washed their food with boiled water before eating.

Even so, they both found it incredibly spicy.

"Hisshoo"

"Hihoo"

Karen and Karl fanned their mouths frantically and breathed heavily.

But when they saw Lip eating without boiling the water, they were stunned.

"Awesome!" they both said, giving Lip a thumbs-up.

Eventually, after a few tries, both Karen and Karl not only got used to the spiciness but also began to enjoy it.

Especially Karl, who, after mimicking Lip and eating without boiling the water, ended up with a runny nose and tears from the heat.

But despite the pain, the kid refused to give up, determined to push through until his face was as red as a tomato.

"Lip, please help me! My mouth feels like it's on fire!" Karl groaned.

"Hahahaha~" Lip and Karen burst into laughter at Karl's funny appearance.

At that moment, Jessica walked out of the back kitchen and made her way toward Lip.

She passed by him and the others, sat at a table, and then moved to the front bar. It looked like she was either keeping accounts or doing something else.

This created an opportunity for Lip. He immediately used his "Clear at a Glance" skill to check Jessica's core attributes.

[Name: Jessica Wang]

[Level: Purple Epic!]

[Keywords: Big Sister]

[Loyalty: 0]

[Current Status: Factory New]

[Pregnancy Progress: 0]

[Hidden Reward: "Clear at a Glance" can be upgraded to "Comprehensive Insight"]

"Comprehensive Insight": The attributes of all members of the opposite sex within the host's field of vision can be viewed at will, with no time or frequency restrictions. Not limited to the target persons prompted by the system.

"Damn, 'Comprehensive Insight' is amazing!" Lip exclaimed in his mind, thrilled.

"With this skill, how can I not go all out?" he thought. This skill would let him cast a wide net, whether in a fishpond or the open sea!

"And with 'Comprehensive Insight,' I can pick only the best!" Lip's imagination ran wild.

Thinking about the attributes of Karen, Mandy, and Jessica, Lip felt that for the future of himself and his family, he should aim for a high-level girl. What if? As long as the level was guaranteed, of course, "the more soldiers Han Xin commands, the better" when it came to girls targeting him!

In his daze, Lip began to understand the purpose of the system.

Do you want me to take in all the girls who had a deep connection with Lip? Lip thought. That seems to be the case.

Suddenly, Lip felt someone's gaze on him.

He scanned the area covertly.

Until his eyes met Jessica's at the front desk. He realized she was the one watching him.

What does this little girl want?

Lip was puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Jessica stood up from her high chair and walked toward him, a smile on her face. Her eyes were locked on Lip, as though she wanted to see right through him.
