Chapter 70 - The Legendary Black Card

Chapter 70: The Legendary Black Card

It was a unique creation with complex workmanship and was worth tens of millions. When she first saw the introduction of this watch, she even lamented to her colleagues that it was as if one was wearing a luxurious villa on one’s wrist.

Now, the watch in her memory was on Lu Wanggui’s wrist. Xiang Xiaoyuan had a new realization of Lu Wanggui’s financial strength. Thinking about it again, she, the wife of a top-tier wealthy family, actually opened a small convenience store. No wonder the expressions of the ladies who came to the store today were so odd.

She and Lu Wanggui perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be like heaven and earth. Lu Wanggui was high up on the mountain, and she was very down-to-earth.

Lu Wanggui smiled faintly. “I ate a little at dinner over there. I’m not hungry yet.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan grunted and placed her attention back to the dishes in front of her. She could not look at it anymore. If she looked at it again, she was afraid that she could not help but take off his watch!

Xiang Xiaoyuan ordered a lot of dishes. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, there were still quite a few seafood dishes left untouched. These dishes were expensive and delicious. Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t have the habit of wasting food, nor had she adapted to her status as a wealthy lady. So, she waved her hand and said, “Ask the waiter to pack them up.”

Wei Zihang had eaten and drunk his fill. He clutched his bulging stomach and was drowsy at the side.

Lu Wanggui looked up and didn’t say anything, but Xiang Xiaoyuan understood what he meant. “These dishes haven’t been touched. It’s a pity to waste them.” After saying that, she looked at the three boys opposite her. “Wei Zihang, you ate the lobster happily just now. Why don’t you take the rest of the back for supper?”

Wei Zihang waved his hand. “No, no, I can’t eat anymore.”

“Okay.” Xiang Xiaoyuan turned to look at Lu Bei, who also shook his head.

Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed regretfully and counted the remaining dishes on the table. She said simply, “They don’t want it. Xu Xiyao, let’s split the food. I want to keep this big crab for supper, so I’ll give you the lobster and abalone?”

Xu Xiyao froze. His family was not well-off, and today’s meal was the most expensive and delicious meal he had ever had in his life. However, the young man’s pride was very strong. He did not think that he did not deserve to eat such good food, he was thinking of bringing his mother over to eat when he earned money in the future.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s tone was too casual. Before Xu Xiyao could react to what she said, he nodded his head first.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was satisfied and called the waiter over to pack the food.

Lu Wanggui had not lived with her for long, but he knew some of her small habits. For example, in order to control her weight, she never ate supper at night.

The waiters moved very quickly. The takeout boxes and packaging bags in the restaurant were very exquisite. Xiang Xiaoyuan handed the bag to Xu Xiyao. “You’ve worked hard today. Come over early tomorrow. But tomorrow’s business will definitely not be as good as today. There’s no need to make any changes. Just change the slogan at the door.”

Xu Xiyao nodded in understanding. He reached out and took the bag. His fingers were long and clean, and his knuckles were well-defined.

The three boys left the restaurant first. Xiang Xiaoyuan sat beside Lu Wanggui and stared at him. In novels, it was said that big shots were especially handsome when they paid the bill. She wanted to see just how handsome they were.

Lu Wanggui did not miss her curious gaze. He opened his wallet and randomly took out a card and handed it to the waiter. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s sharp eyes saw that there were two black cards in his wallet. Were these the legendary unlimited, limited-edition black cards?

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart was filled with tears of poverty.

Forget about the two black cards, she would have no regrets if she could have one black card in her lifetime.

Her gaze shifted. Xiang Xiaoyuan did not want to stare at the two enviable black cards anymore. Her gaze fell on Lu Wanggui’s wrist. The watch on it was firmly fastened there. She licked the corner of her lips and looked down again.

This was the first time she had observed Lu Wanggui’s hand carefully.

From the looks of it, Lu Wanggui’s hand was one size bigger than Xu Xiyao’s. His fingers were also longer. There was a difference of 21 years between the ages of 39 and 18. What he had when he was young was something that no wealth could buy. Even though Xu Xiyao’s family was not rich and he needed to work to make up for his family expenses, his hands were still fair and delicate. One look and one could tell that they were the hands of a young man.

Lu Wanggui’s hands were more like the hands of a mature man. His palm was wide and filled with a sense of security.

Xiang Xiaoyuan noticed that there was a shallow scar on his left hand. She recalled an untimely morning when he was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. The early morning sun shone through the French window on his fingers that were flipping through the paper…

“Let’s go.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan heard a low voice and raised her head to meet Lu Wanggui’s black eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. She came back to her senses and realized that she was daydreaming about Lu Wanggui’s hands.

Xiang Xiaoyuan, wake up! No matter how much this man suits your taste, no matter how much he satisfies your aesthetic criteria, don’t forget that he is a man who wears a luxurious villa on his wrist!

Can you afford to flirt with such a man? You can’t!

Xiang Xiaoyuan instantly entered a state of no desire.
