Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A moment later, Liu Yuan walked out with Lan Weiwei.
A set of white one-piece dress fully displayed the young girl’s youthful aura.
Even Lu Chen could not help but exclaim in admiration. Lan Weiwei’s human form was indeed pleasing t the eye.
It was no wonder that in so many stories, beautiful women were transformed by demons. However, for some reason, the way Liu Yuan looked at him was strange. There was also a hint of hostility.
“Well, do you want to go shopping with us?”
Seeing that Liu Yuan had no intention of leaving, Lu Chen asked directly.
Liu Yuan glared at Lu Chen and said, “Of course, you might not know what to shop for after all. As a man, do you know how to choose clothes for a girl? You need me there.”
Lu Chen thought about it and agreed. He might as well bring Liu Yuan along since she knew what she was doing. Thus, the three of them set off together.
After walking down from their residence, they arrived at the main street in a flash. On the busy street, there were three people, and all three of them looked stunning.
Everyone’s eyes were attracted to them.
Lu Chen’s height of 1.8 meters could be said to be very eye-catching. Moreover, the two beauties beside him were beautiful in their own aspects.
The taller one had a hot figure and exuded a heroic and valiant beauty.
The shorter one looked pure and cute, especially with her silver-white long hair and gem-like eyes, which were full of mystery.
All kinds of photos taken from afar made Lu Chen speechless. He hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed into the shopping mall. However, he did not expect that the crowded shopping mall would cause a stir as well.
There were all kinds of people who came up to ask for a group photo and their contact details.
During this period, there were also some random talent scouts and managers from different agencies. Even from a glance, one could tell that they did not look like good people.
In the end, Liu Yuan flew into a rage, which shocked the group of people. After that, the three of them went to buy masks and sunglasses at the convenience store and continue shopping.
As everyone knew, it was the most troublesome for women when it came to shopping.
Especially more so for Lan Weiwei. She had just arrived in this world and everything she saw was new. She was simply a curious baby who wanted to ask about everything.
It took a full three hours before they were satisfied. The two beauties, one tall and one short, happily looked at the items they bought.
“Hello sir, it would be a total of 168,000 dollars.”
The cashier looked at Lu Chen with lovey-dovey eyes. He looked like such a good-looking older brother, and he was especially rich. If it were not for the two beauties by his side, she would have already gone up to ask for his number.
Lu Chen swiped his card without batting an eyelid.
Liu Yuan said from the side, “I didn’t expect you to be so rich.”
Lu Chen scratched his head and said, “I’ve earned some money recently.”
Liu Yuan covered her mouth and laughed, “Then why don’t you treat us to a meal?”
During the three-hour exchange, Liu Yuan has shared a bit about herself, whether intentionally or not. Therefore, Lu Chen already knew that the two of them had once studied at the same university.
During this period of time, Liu Yuan also had a rough estimation of Lu Chen’s character. His character was a little strong, but he still respected people.
When it was time to keep a low profile, he would be low-key in everything that he did. Unlike many people who acted like a typical A-class d*uche when they had money.
It was extremely rare for such people to exist.
At this moment, Lan Weiwei tugged at Lu Chen’s sleeve and said, “Brother, I’m hungry!”
She had endured it for a long time. The main purpose of going out was to eat!
In the end, the outside world was too interesting. If Liu Yuan had not mentioned it, she too would have forgotten about the main reason for her going out.
Lu Chen looked at them and said, “Alright, I’ll bring you guys to eat something delicious.”
Soon, Lu Chen brought the two of them out of the shopping mall. There were many expensive restaurants outside the shopping mall. However, Lu Chen did not plan to bring Lan Weiwei to such a place. It was not because of the price, but because such high-end restaurants usually tasted average. Not only was the price ridiculous, but the quantity was also not much.
For a good-for-nothing eater like Lan Weiwei, the speed at which the dishes in those restaurants were served was definitely not as fast as the speed at which she ate.
On the other hand, the environment of these restaurants was rather elegant.
For a good-for-nothing eater like Lan Weiwei, it would be indeed a little embarrassing for her to gobble up the food.
Therefore, Lu Chen chose a more fast-food type of restaurant. He even asked for a private sitting when they arrived.
“Sir, are you sure you want to order this much food?”
The waiter looked at the options on the tablet and almost thought that the system had made a mistake.
How was this the weight of three people?
This amount should be enough for thirty people!
Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “Bro, I asked you to treat me to a meal. I didn’t ask you to treat me like a starving stranded islander. You ordered too many dishes. We won’t be able to finish them until tomorrow.”
Lu Chen coughed dryly and said, “It doesn’t matter. Eat first. If there’s not enough, order more.”
He waved his hand to dismiss the waiter.
Liu Yuan did not know why, but her opinion of Lu Chen had changed.
It was true that he did not want to show off his wealth when buying things, but she did not expect it to be reflected here as well.
However, when the dishes came, she realized why he had ordered so much.
When the waiter served the first dish, Lan Weiwei, that little girl, directly dug into the meal.
The entire serving was several times bigger than her face. However, the little girl wolfed down the food without waiting for anyone else to get a bite.
Liu Yuan’s face was full of confusion as she looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen also had a helpless and bitter smile as he shouted towards the outside, “Waiter, can I have another serving of this dish please!”
…
Two hours later, the restaurant manager was drenched in cold sweat and finally sent the three people away. Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, he still had some lingering fear.
It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a small group of people who could eat so much.
In the end, only a cucumber was left in the entire restaurant as stock!
Just like that, everything that was cooked went into the little girl’s belly.
On the way, Liu Yuan looked at Lan Weiwei who was still chewing on the cucumber and said softly to Lu Chen, “Your cousin won’t be too full after eating so much, right?”
Lu Chen said a little awkwardly, “Don’t worry, I know she ate quite a bit just now. Nothing will happen, don’t worry.”
Liu Yuan nodded and said, “That’s good.”
A few minutes later, Liu Yuan returned to her room.
She turned on the communication system.
“Report, this is 0927!”
A voice soon came from the other side.
“This is the Dragon Group building. Please go ahead.”
“I have an update.”
“A girl has appeared beside the target. She claims to be his cousin, but according to our information, the target is an orphan. So, I need to see this Lan Weiwei’s information as soon as possible.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
An hour later.
A message came from the other side.
“I’m sorry, 0927, we’ve used all our connections and resources in the Dragon Country building, but we still can’t find the background of this little girl. The fingerprints you provided were not matched to anyone in our database.”
How could it be?
Liu Yuan turned pale with fright.
The whole of Dragon Country’s database was supposed to be completed with everyone and anyone!
Moreover, they had the authority to gain any information here!
She even gave them the young girl’s fingerprints and a photo of her. However, there was no one in the world that matched her information!
Unless… this person had suddenly appeared out of thin air!
That would be impossible… or was it?
