If it were anyone else, they might shamelessly choose to stay together just because Xu Hao was wealthy and powerful.

But he knew what kind of personality the female lead had.

Every female lead in the book was kind-hearted and resolute in character, never bowing for five bushels of grain…

Besides—

Xiao Wanling herself was a wealthy little woman and did not lack money.

Her Little Japan was quite carefree.

What made Li Xiao heave a sigh of relief was…

Judging from Xiao Wanling's shyness, she had not been completely taken down by Xu Hao yet.

There was still hope to save the situation.

Disguising himself as a customer, Li Xiao sat down at a spot not far away, pretending to eat like a normal person.

He was prepared to keep his eyes on the two of them the entire time.

The moment he found an opportunity, he would go up, expose Xu Hao's true face, and ruin their relationship…

Li Xiao observed secretly.

Watching Xu Hao and Xiao Wanling being sweet together was even more painful than him being a single dog himself.

The even more painful part was yet to come.

Xiao Wanling cut a piece of steak and looked at Xu Hao.

"Uncle, the steak here is quite good. Have a taste…"

As Xiao Wanling spoke, she was about to put the steak into Xu Hao's bowl.

But Xu Hao dodged it.

She looked over in confusion.

Seeing Xu Hao open his mouth slightly, the meaning was self-evident.

Xiao Wanling understood.

Uncle Xu actually wanted her to feed him.

She could not help feeling secretly delighted in her heart.

She had thought that Uncle Xu was old and did not understand romance.

Yet he always flirted with her until her little heart beat wildly without stop.

Looking left and right, there were very few guests on the third floor, and no one was paying attention to their side…

Xiao Wanling delivered the steak into Xu Hao's mouth.

Xu Hao chewed for a bit.

He cast an appreciative gaze at her.

"Pretty solid!"

Next, Xiao Wanling fed Xu Hao some other dishes, all hand-fed.

For convenience.

The two of them were originally sitting facing each other.

Gradually, Xiao Wanling moved to sit beside Xu Hao, almost sticking together.

Li Xiao, who was secretly peeping, widened his pupils, his gaze dull and his face filled with blank confusion.

Was this the mature, gentle, noble, and virtuous landlady female lead that he knew?

She was actually personally feeding food into an old man's mouth.

So humble.

Her character setting had completely collapsed…

[Ding… Li Xiao is consumed by fury, Villain Value +952…]

[Ding… Li Xiao's mentality collapses, Villain Value +963…]

Xiao Wanling took out a bottle of red wine.

"Does Uncle Xu drink red wine?"

"Wanling, are you not thinking of me as too out of touch with the times? What kind of wine have I not drunk?"

While speaking, Xu Hao reached out his hand and touched a patch of smoothness.

Xiao Wanling only stiffened for a moment, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Her face was beaming with a bright smile.

"Then shall we also drink some red wine? Candlelight dinners go better with red wine, oh."

"Drinking a little wine is no problem, but we cannot drink too much…"

"Why?"

"I do not want you to get drunk; that would strip away a lot of fun."

Xiao Wanling was baffled.

Thinking of the things that were about to happen tonight, she could not help blushing deeply.

She had not even started drinking yet, but she was already as drunk as a red apple.

The two of them thus ate the candlelight dinner while drinking red wine.

An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air.

The ambiguity only applied to the two of them.

For Li Xiao, it was even more painful than eating shit.

From his angle, he could precisely see Xu Hao's hand resting on Xiao Wanling's thigh…

This was a true old pervert.

He truly did not understand how someone of such an advanced age still liked flirting with young girls.

He felt that Big Bro Chu Xiong was not much better either.

But compared to a hypocritical scumbag and scum like Xu Hao, he was countless times better.

He wondered how they were still friends.

Thinking over and over, he could only conclude that the reason Xu Hao made friends with Chu Xiong was because Chu Xiong had a beautiful and alluring wife.

[Ding… Li Xiao is burning with hatred and rage, Villain Value +987…]

Li Xiao finished eating his personal set meal.

Xu Hao's table had not finished yet.

Still feeling the smoothness of the thigh.

Li Xiao watched quietly.

In order not to be kicked out of the restaurant, he forced himself to chew slowly and deliberately.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth.

The fires of anger burned fiercely.

Little did he know, all of this was intentional on Xu Hao's part.

Watching the strings of prompts refreshed by the System, Xu Hao was amused.

Just during the time of this meal alone, this protagonist named Li Xiao had contributed tens of thousands of Emotion Points to him…

Until no more points were being refreshed at the end, Xu Hao reluctantly ended the dinner with Xiao Wanling.

Stepping out of the restaurant, the two of them walked and chatted on the main street.

Li Xiao followed closely behind with utter perplexity.

Did these two never separate?

At least go to the restroom, hey!

The two of them remained glued together the entire time, leaving him without even a single opportunity to approach Xiao Wanling.

Xu Hao and the female lead strolled ahead.

The protagonist followed behind eating dog food.

Over an hour passed…

Calculating the time, Xu Hao saw a couples' hotel not far away.

His footsteps paused.

He looked at Xiao Wanling and said,

"Wanling, since you treated me to a meal, I also have a gift to give you."
