Chapter 45: The Magnanimous Li Xiaoyao

```

Li Xiaoyao saw Zhu Xiaoyue reach for her gun and couldn’t help feeling a bit resigned. Although this woman was kind-hearted and upright, she had a penchant for drawing her gun at the drop of a hat—a habit that was truly not good.

"Can you please put the gun away?"

Zhu Xiaoyue snorted but put away her gun. After a few seconds, she asked, "How did you guess?"

"Guess what?"

With a red face, Zhu Xiaoyue whispered, "Guess… what I’m wearing."

Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips and said, "I did tell you I can tell fortunes."

"You’re lying!"

Li Xiaoyao shrugged, "Believe it or not."

"Jerk, you lecherous scoundrel," cursed Zhu Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t respond; after all, he had the upper hand.

The two sat in the car for another ten minutes, and Li Xiaoyao just couldn’t sit still any longer.

"Hey."

"What?" Zhu Xiaoyue snapped back, still wrestling with how Li Xiaoyao could possibly know the color of her underwear and the details of her menstruation.

Li Xiaoyao pointed outside and said, "It’s only five o’clock. Isn’t it a bit early for you to be waiting now?"

Zhu Xiaoyue glanced at the still-lit sky and felt that Li Xiaoyao made some sense, but she retorted, "None of your business."

"I don’t want to meddle, so you can wait here if you want, but I’m leaving." Li Xiaoyao opened the car door, ready to get out.

"Where are you going?"

"Anywhere is better than waiting here like an idiot." Find exclusive stories on NovelBin.Côm

Zhu Xiaoyue grabbed his arm and said, "You can’t leave."

Li Xiaoyao stared at her hand and said, "Hey, officer, men and women shouldn’t touch; if you keep taking advantage of me like this, be careful, I might accuse you of harassment."

Zhu Xiaoyue was so angry she gritted her teeth. Li Xiaoyao was truly shameless, but even though he was shameless, she couldn’t just watch him walk away. She knew that having offended the Long Family, they certainly wouldn’t let him off easily. If he walked the streets now, he would definitely be captured by Long Feiyang’s men.

"If you go back now, Long Feiyang’s men will definitely grab you right away."

Li Xiaoyao knew the Long Family would seek revenge, but he wasn’t worried in the slightest. Let them seek revenge. One Long Family was not enough to make him fearful or wary.

"Officer Zhu, I know you’re worried about me facing retaliation from the Long Family. But have you thought about this? You have to work as well. Can you protect me all the time?" Li Xiaoyao posed a very practical question since, after all, if the Long Family wanted revenge, he could avoid them for a while, but not forever.

Zhu Xiaoyue understood this as well but letting Li Xiaoyao go now, and watching him suffer Long Feiyang’s revenge, was something she could not bring herself to do.

"Anyway, you can’t leave now," Zhu Xiaoyue said, holding onto his hand, word by word, very firmly.

If Li Xiaoyao really wanted to leave, nobody could stop him. However, the situation was that Zhu Xiaoyue meant well, and if he insisted on leaving, it would be too insensitive.

"I don’t want to stay here waiting like an idiot either, and it’s about time to eat. Let’s find a place to eat," Li Xiaoyao said as he sat back down.

Zhu Xiaoyue thought for a moment and then said, "I’ll make a call."

Zhu Xiaoyue took out her phone and dialed someone. It connected quickly. She said, "Xiao Hu, keep an eye on Dong Haoran for me. Call me when he gets off work."

After hanging up, Zhu Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "What do you feel like eating?"

"Whatever, I’m not picky," Li Xiaoyao said as he sneakily glanced at Zhu Xiaoyue’s chest.

Zhu Xiaoyue’s eyebrow shot up as she cursed, "Take your pervy eyes off me, or I’ll gouge them out."

"I’m merely admiring, don’t think so dirty," Li Xiaoyao shook his head with a look that said you wouldn’t understand.

"Hmph!" Zhu Xiaoyue couldn’t be bothered to argue, so she started the car and left the police station.

Zhu Xiaoyue picked a regular restaurant, and once they were seated, a waitress came over with the menu.

"You order, I’m treating you today," Zhu Xiaoyue said.

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "For real? Careful that I don’t eat you out of house and home."

Zhu Xiaoyue snorted, "As long as you can finish it, order as much as you want, but if you can’t finish and waste a single dish, I’ll shoot you."

Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips, unfazed by her threat, opened the menu, and said, "This one, and this one." After he finished, he closed the menu, which made Zhu Xiaoyue feel embarrassed.

"Why did you only order two dishes? I was just kidding earlier, you can order more, it’s okay if you can’t finish them." Zhu Xiaoyue felt a bit embarrassed inside, thinking Li Xiaoyao ordered only two dishes because of her, but when she heard what he said next, she realized that she had overthought it.

"Besides these two dishes, bring one of everything else," Li Xiaoyao handed the menu back to the waitress and turned to Zhu Xiaoyue, "What was that you said? I didn’t hear you."

Zhu Xiaoyue’s eyelids twitched, and it took her several seconds before she replied, "Nothing."

The dishes were served quickly, and almost with each new dish that was served, Li Xiaoyao polished one off.

Li Xiaoyao could really eat; since he had started his cultivation, he became quite the foodie. Not to mention a dozen dishes, even if there were a dozen more, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Zhu Xiaoyue was shocked by Li Xiaoyao’s capacity; she had initially thought he ordered so much just to spite her, but who would have guessed this jerk could really eat that much.

By the time Li Xiaoyao stuffed the last dish into his stomach, Zhu Xiaoyue was at a loss for words.

Other patrons were also looking over in surprise, some even taking out their phones to snap pictures. If Zhu Xiaoyue hadn’t been giving them the evil eye, some might have even come over to ask for a photo with him.

After eating his fill, Li Xiaoyao belched contentedly, wiped his mouth, and declared, "I’m full!"

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao’s phone in his pocket rang. He took it out to see it was a call from Tang Tiantian.

Li Xiaoyao casually glanced at the time; it was only six o’clock. Could she be calling to ask when he’d be home?

After answering the call, Tang Tiantian said, "Hey, Li Xiaoyao, I might be home late tonight, so don’t wait for me for dinner."

"You have something on tonight?" Since the last incident, Li Xiaoyao had been somewhat worried about Tang Tiantian, this woman seemed to have some not so reliable friends around her.

Tang Tiantian nodded, "Yeah, having dinner with my brother."

"Oh, okay, got it." After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao noticed Zhu Xiaoyue looking at him, and he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Got a crush on me?"

"I’d have to be blind to have a crush on you," Zhu Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and took out her phone, checking it now and then, wondering why Xiao Hu hadn’t called her yet.

Normally, Dong Haoran would have finished work by now, but he still hadn’t today, which was unusual.

As Zhu Xiaoyue’s mind was racing, her phone suddenly rang. It was Xiao Hu.

"Hello, Sister Zhu, Dong Haoran has left the office".

Zhu Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up, and she said, "Got it."
