Chapter 150 The Big Liar is Online

Sweet and Sour Ribs without sugar or ribs?

Then there would only be...

Ning Xi lowered her head, remaining silent.

Ye Fan could clearly see the blush on the girl's cheeks. Not only that, but her fair neck was also turning red, a rosy glow spreading across her skin, making her incredibly captivating.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Ye Fan knew this principle well. He gently squeezed the small hand in his palm.

"Xiao Xi, come shopping with me this afternoon, okay?"

It's often said that women who act coquettish have the best luck.

The same applies to men.

Of course, the prerequisite is not to act effeminate, otherwise, it's no longer being coquettish but just plain disgusting.

Ye Fan knew exactly how to toe this line.

"I..."

Meeting Ye Fan's deep gaze, Ning Xi was at a loss. In the end, she nodded her head slightly, softly replying.

"...Mm."

Seeing this, Ye Fan was overjoyed, a bright, clean smile spreading across his face.

Two words: Mission accomplished!

"Knock knock—"

The sound of knocking came from the door.

A waitress in uniform walked into the private room, politely asking, "Honored guests, may we serve your dishes now?"

"Yes."

Ye Fan nodded.

In less than a minute, the table was filled with dishes.

Eight dishes and one soup.

The key point was, there wasn't a single dish Ye Fan could name. He glanced over them several times and finally recognized one dish that had shrimp in it, feeling rather speechless inside.

So this is what a rich person's life is like?

Tsk tsk!

Boring?

Nonsense!

That's just something ordinary people tell themselves for comfort.

The life of the wealthy is actually vibrant and full of variety, and their joy is unimaginable to the average person.

The truth isn't always pleasant, but it is the truth.

"Xiao Xi."

"Hmm?"

"Don't space out, let's eat."

Ye Fan picked up the utensils and filled Ning Xi's bowl with food, his eyes brimming with fondness. "Eat more. I always feel like you've gotten thinner lately."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ning Xi's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Ye Fan's arm excitedly, "Have I really gotten thinner?"

Lately, she had been on a strict diet.

She didn't dare eat anything, surviving on fruits and vegetables.

The happiest thing for a girl during dieting is for someone to say she's lost weight.

"You've really gotten thinner!"

Ye Fan smiled helplessly and pushed the chopsticks into Ning Xi's hand, "You're at the age where you're still growing, so make sure you have a balanced diet."

Ning Xi blinked her eyes and giggled, "I'm dieting these days, so I can't eat meat. Some veggies will do. You're the main eater at this meal; I'll cheer you on."

She waved her little hand, making a cheering gesture that was overwhelmingly cute.

"Dieting?"

The corners of Ye Fan's mouth twitched when he heard those words. He looked over Ning Xi's figure, which, aside from certain areas, could only be described as frail.

Dieting?

Might as well fly to the moon!

"Don't joke around. With a figure like yours, even a strong wind could blow you away. Who gave you the courage to diet?"

"Pfft—"

Ning Xi's eyes curved with amusement, "Oh, hurry up and eat."

As she spoke, she pushed the bowl full of food in front of Ye Fan and got herself a new one.

Ye Fan frowned slightly, tapping the table, "Xiao Xi, I think we need to have a talk."

"Talk about what?"

Ning Xi, in the middle of picking at her food, had confusion written on her face.

Ye Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Of course, about this dieting issue. Let me ask you, eating only vegetables every day, do you feel happy?"

"I…"

Ning Xi put down her bowl and chopsticks and answered seriously, "I'm not happy at the moment, but I'll be happy when I see my weight go down."

"…"

Ye Fan clicked his tongue, "Silly girl!"

"You're the silly one!"

Ning Xi protested indignantly, a hint of irritation in her eyes, "You have to explain yourself today, or else, do you believe I'll… I'll bite you?!"

The corner of Ye Fan's mouth lifted as he spoke in a low, alluring tone, "Don't be angry. I'll give you a multiple-choice question, will you answer it?"

"Why wouldn't I? Hmph!" Ning Xi replied.

Unbeknownst to her, this was exactly what Ye Fan had been waiting for.

He grinned and asked, "Two kinds of happiness—one that you can have immediately, and another that's uncertain in the future. Which would you choose?"

Ning Xi snorted lightly and replied in a soft voice, "Isn't it obvious? I'd choose the happiness I can have right now!"

"No one can predict what will happen in the future."

Ye Fan's eyes filled with a strong sense of amusement as he continued, "Then do you feel happy when you're eating delicious food?"

"Of course!"

Ning Xi didn't hesitate and answered directly.

Ye Fan nodded with a smile and spread his hands, "Alright, so your dieting is to make yourself happy, right? But now, there's happiness you can have right now. Why diet?"

Master Persuader mode: activated!

"…"

Ning Xi's mouth fell open, stunned.

That's true!

With all this good food, eating would make her happy, so why diet?

And even if she didn't eat, who knew if the dieting would succeed? It would be better to just enjoy the food now.

She was caught in his logic!

Though it felt a bit off, she couldn't pinpoint why…

Seeing Ning Xi in a daze, Ye Fan suppressed the laughter rising inside him and started putting meat into her bowl, "Eat properly. Even if you're dieting, you need to be full, or you won't have the energy to diet."

"…"

Looking at the food piled like a small mountain in her bowl, Ning Xi sighed helplessly. She bit her red lips, caught in an internal struggle.

She knew something felt wrong but couldn't come up with a rebuttal.

It was just… really frustrating!

Ye Fan used his signature move, the head pat, on Ning Xi, "Be good. I'll give you a gift later."

"Ugh!"

Ning Xi's face flushed crimson, her cheeks turning as red as morning light on snow, "If you call yourself my brother again, do you believe I'll leave right now?"

"My bad."

Ye Fan admitted his mistake without hesitation, smiling cheekily, "Let's not argue, let's eat first. Wasting food isn't a good habit."

Ning Xi pouted and silently began to eat the food in her bowl.

And thus, Ye Fan embarked on his mission of feeding her.

...

"Hic~"

The moment she put down her chopsticks, Ning Xi covered her face.

Ahhh—

So embarrassing!

Ye Fan picked up a napkin and gently placed his right hand on the back of her head, wiping the corner of her mouth with utmost care.

Ning Xi's hands fell limp to her sides, staring blankly at Ye Fan, who was now so close to her. The warmth of his breath, full of sunshine, clouded her mind. His gaze, deep as a black hole, seemed to draw her in entirely.

After a few seconds, Ning Xi snapped back to reality. She pressed her hands against Ye Fan's chest, her face flushed as she turned her head away shyly, "Let go… I can do it myself."

"It's already done."

Ye Fan retracted his hand, a soft smile on his face as he teased, "Xiao Xi, why are you so pretty?"

"You…"

Faced with Ye Fan's straightforward flirtation, Ning Xi's heart was a jumble of embarrassment and anger. She said, "That's because you have a mouth that spouts nonsense!"
