The magnificent banquet was connected to the outdoor, wooden terrace with ivy leaves, providing guests a romantic seat with a great view of the ocean.
The guests had a great time today. While drinking wine and champagne; they chatted about the latest rumors; their eyes would occasionally switch towards a young couple. A few guests would come to greet them while the braver ones would exchange a few words, not for long, since this duo was in a hurry to fill their tummies.
Xuan Mu and Bing Shi stood before a smorgasbord filled with seafood like lobsters, crabs, oysters, and so on. All these delicacies were neatly placed on artistic ice sculptures. Filling the porcelain plates to the brim, they walked outside towards the terrace.
"Shocked?" Sitting down, Xuan Mu asked while placing an oyster from his plate on top of Bing Shi's plate. He read that oysters were good aphrodisiacs.
"That was...fast," Bing Shi blinked in bewilderment, "Lu Ren should break a relationship before starting a new one." She looked down at the oyster at the top. Shrugging her shoulders, she picked it up and ate the content, "Poor Mia."
Xuan Mu placed another oyster on top of her plate while taking a shrimp in exchange, "She is not poor. A horny virgin would be more correct. With her brain and school, she could apply for high position posts, but why would she always choose a CEO's assistant post? She is not a golddigger; neither would she sell herself for money; that's what she keeps telling herself. Mia is an attention seeker. She likes to stand out from the crowd, and with her beauty, it's easy. You never noticed because you never attend parties with me."
"Oh~ I'm not an attention seeker, but I'm a golddigger, and I like to sell myself for money," Bing Shi grinned and gulped down the oyster, "Xuan Mu, how about two Bing Shies for one million?"
"So cheap?" Xuan Mu raised his eyebrow.
"A summer sale, buy one get one free," she reached out her little hand.
"Bing Shi, my wallet is in your Doraemon," said Xuan Mu with amusement. Yes, he called Bing Shi's purses Doraemons as she had everything in them. His Bing Shi had a very mild case of OCD, but she refused to acknowledge it.
"Ooh," Bing Shi opened her purse, taking out wet tissues she placed them on the table.
"Bing Shi what if I had no money?" finishing his shrimp, he asked with a tender smile.
"You have your smiles to pay me with," she said while checking the content of her purse.
"Can I pay you with a kiss?" Xuan Mu placed another oyster on Bing Shi's plate.
"Hm? I'm not that expensive. A smile is enough," Bing Shi closed her purse with a satisfied smile. While eating the third oysters, she looked up to meet up with a gawking pair of black irises. Seeing him bitting and licking his lips, she giggled, "Xuan Mu, no PDA."
"Wait until we get home," Xuan Mu pouted and placed another oyster on her plate.
"No more oysters, I want to eat something else." She returned the oyster and picked up the crab leg.
Xuan Mu peered at Bing Shi with anguish, "Bing Shi, they are good for your health."
"Like everything else on my plate," Bing Shi ignored his pitiful eyes, "What are you going to do with Zhu Cai?"
"Use him, then toss him," Xuan Mu's mood dropped, "Bing Shi he likes you."
"Does he? I never glanced at him after that," Bing Shi shuddered awkwardly, "You are not jealous?"
"No, who wouldn't like my Bing Shi? As long as you don't like or get close to anyone else besides me, I'm fine," Xuan Mu said with a faint smile.
Bing Shi picked all the oysters and started to eat them with gusto, proud of his progress.
"What are you doing?" asked Xuan Mu.
"Trying to drug myself with aphrodisiac food." Aphrodisiac food didn't work on Bing Shi. The act above was him, making fun of her. In the end, she went along with his joke.
Xuan Mu laughed, his mind and body overflowed with happiness, "Well, good luck."
Without noticing, he scratched his chest inconspicuously.
