Chapter 255: It Is No Ordinary Love

He ordered coldly, “Squat down and search.”

His lady retrieved her foot. “Let her leave.”

Although she was displeased with the waitress’s attitude, this did not warrant making her stoop down to clean her boots. Besides, the oil stains would not be cleaned off.

The man was merciful for once but did not intend to let her off easily. “Apologize to her.”

“Quick, apologize to the lady!” The Prison Chief roared angrily at the girl.

Left with no other option, she had to do as commanded reluctantly. “I’m sorry.”

“Young Master Mo, the girl has already apologized. Why don’t you let her off now so you can continue your meal in peace?”

“Do you accept her apology?” the man asked his woman dotingly.

She held his chin and gave him a light peck. “I accept it.”

While smiling indulgently, he continued to deshell prawns for her. The woman took a sip from a glass of fruit juice beside her and then, ignoring the stares of the surrounding young girls, fed him a piece of fish that she had carefully selected from the feast.

“Why are you still standing around? You can all leave now.”

“Yes, sir.”

Resigned, the girls left with their food trolleys.

“Tsk… What’s the big deal about that woman? You can find all kinds of girls nowadays. Does she think that this man is truly her hubby just because she said so? Trust her to appear by his side with that vixen look.” The waitress who had served tea to the guests earlier grumbled.

“Sister Liu, that lady is really pretty. She’s really compatible with Chief Mo. I think she must be his wife.”

“I think so too. I can see how much Chief Mo dotes on her.”

“What do you know? Chief Mo is too outstanding to be easily fooled.”

“Is that so?”

“You are all too young, naive, and inexperienced to tell the truth. Listen to me, that woman must be a mistress. Her looks are too good to be true!”

“I find that lady exceptional in terms of looks, figure, and charisma. She can definitely hold her own around our chief. Besides, we’ll never have a chance with him even if she is his mistress.”

“I think Sister Liu is jealous of her.”

“That’s right!”

“Y-You all…”

The woman left the group speedily with her trolley. She wouldn’t waste her time on this bunch of ignorant girls.

“Sister Liu shouldn’t have acted up just now. That was so inappropriate of her. She will get punished if the Prison Chief pursues this matter further.”

“Oh, well. Sister Liu can’t resist handsome men, though I have to admit that he’s really good-looking.”

“Alas, he’s taken,” one of them said with a sigh.

“Alright, finish the last one,” he said as he fed her the prawn he had just deshelled for her.

“Let me have one more.”

He quipped with a frown, “But you have already eaten twenty-eight of these. You can’t have more.”

She stared hard at him with her beautiful, big, round eyes. Had he just counted the prawns she had eaten one by one?

“You have already finished half the plate,” he told her with a tone of resignation.

“I can have two more to make the figure a rounded number.” As she said that, she reached out with her chopsticks.

Everyone was struck dumb by what they had witnessed. So far, one thing was clear. His love for her was no ordinary love.

“Okay, you can have thirty of them.” He agreed begrudgingly.

He realized that the woman was so fond of seafood that she could have it every day and could wipe the plate clean each time. One shouldn’t have too much seafood, though, so he had recently ordered the kitchen not to serve this at home anymore.

“Aren’t you guys eating?” she asked the rest of them while her eyes never left the dish on the table.

They shook their heads and said, “We’re not eating. We don’t like prawns.”

She told them with pursed lips, “Look, there’re a few more… One, two, three…” She paused to count before adding, “Just nine more and we’ll finish this dish.”

She reached with her chopsticks for another when the man took away her utensil. “You are not allowed to eat anymore!”
