109: Chapter 109 The understated elegance beside the luxury car, the doting affection at the barbecue stand

The sales assistant didn't say anything more; she swiped the card on the POS machine and handed it back to Tang Luochuan.

The young man tapped lightly, entering his password.

"Zzz—" As the receipt printed out, everyone knew the payment was successful.

Tang Luochuan retrieved his bank card and handed the pile of gift boxes to the two girls. "Let's go, time to head back for dinner!"

"Oh~" Su Wantang wore a smug smile as she stepped forward, pressing against the young man's side, looking like a girl blissfully doted upon.

Jiang Jinyue took the gift boxes, her brows slightly furrowed. "You two aren't planning to make me carry all of these by myself, are you? There are so many!!"

"One moment, please! We can help you carry them to your parking spot!" the sales assistant hurriedly said, immediately calling over two staff members to help with the items.

Song Yan and the middle-aged man stepped aside, unsure whether to stay or leave.

Su Wantang glanced at Song Yan. "We're leaving now, Young Master Song of the Song Group!"

"Uh..." Hearing this, Song Yan's expression darkened even further. He finally realized that this woman had been toying with him the whole time.

"Young Master Song?" Tang Luochuan was a bit confused upon hearing this. People still used titles like that these days?

The middle-aged man suddenly spoke up: "Um... little brother, about just now... I apologize for the offense. Shall we add each other on WeChat?"

"Not interested." Tang Luochuan flashed a grin, but the smile vanished in an instant.

He put his arm around Su Wantang's waist, waved at Jiang Jinyue, and the three of them walked away.

The staff members followed behind, carrying the large bags and small parcels; it was quite a spectacle.

Song Yan stood in place, his facial muscles twitching a few times. Finally, he hung his head and slunk off in the other direction.

The middle-aged man wanted to chase after them, but was pulled back by the bewitching woman behind him. "That's enough. It's obvious they don't want to deal with you. Why are you trying to get involved?"

"What do you know!" The middle-aged man shook off her hand. "He didn't even blink when spending over a million. What's that kid's background? There's no one like that in Quanshui City..."

... In the parking lot.

The sales assistant looked at the battered old Volkswagen, suppressing her curiosity, and finally placed all the items into the car.

"We look forward to seeing you again." The sales assistant and the staff members bowed slightly, then watched the car drive away.

They arrived at Qiangqiang Barbecue!

Zhu Xiumei and Tang Hai had already reserved a spot.

Tang Luochuan saw the E300 and pulled the car over.

It wasn't that the two girls had never eaten barbecue before, but this was their first time at such a humble barbecue stall.

They had expected a slightly larger storefront, but in reality, it was just a roadside structure built by the owner.

There were seven or eight tables outside and five or six inside; it couldn't accommodate many people.

The dim streetlights lined the road, and the surrounding area was filled with the ruins of recently demolished buildings.

"Yueyue, Wantang! Come sit. We've been eating at this shop for over a decade. It's going to be torn down soon, but the food is really good," Zhu Xiumei greeted them warmly.

Su Wantang lifted her skirt slightly, just about to respond enthusiastically.

Jiang Jinyue, standing to the side, spoke up first. "Thank you, Auntie!!"

The girl's voice was bright, causing both Tang Luochuan and Su Wantang to be taken aback. When did this girl have a change of heart?

Jiang Jinyue might be a bit cold, but she wasn't unreasonable.

Seeing Su Wantang's every move, she seemed to understand how to be a good daughter-in-law.

Wearing a long dress, Jiang Jinyue sat down next to Zhu Xiumei without hesitation and warmly invited Su Wantang to come sit with them.

However, her cold expression was suddenly replaced by a smile she had never shown before, which made it look like she was just grinning without joy.

Tang Luochuan was pushed to the side, sitting with his father, Tang Hai.

The father and son shared a common hobby: eating.

Grandpa and Grandma couldn't eat too much lamb, so they just ordered some stir-fried dishes. The old couple didn't say much, content just watching the young people laughing and joking.

The skewers and stir-fried dishes were served quickly.

Su Wantang and Jiang Jinyue once again displayed the air of 'young ladies from wealthy families,' refusing to eat the skewers directly, instead using napkins to wipe the tips of the sticks.

Then they would pull the meat off piece by piece, and they absolutely refused to eat the fat in the middle.

It was as if the two of them had planned it together.

What made Tang Luochuan feel even more uncomfortable was that the two girls had prepared a small plate of meat and actually brought it to him.

"Luochuan, eat slowly," Su Wantang said with a gentle tone.

Tang Luochuan's scalp tingled. It wasn't that he didn't like romance, but his parents were right there.

No matter how good he was at flirting, he wouldn't flirt with two girls in front of his parents.

What left him even more speechless was that Su Wantang had already picked up a piece of meat and brought it to his mouth.

His parents didn't say a word, their gazes locked firmly on him.

On the other side, Jiang Jinyue was also ready to feed him.

"I can eat it myself!"

"But I want to feed you~" Su Wantang began to act coquettishly.

Tang Luochuan blushed and explained, "I... I'm not that pretentious."

Jiang Jinyue immediately retorted, "In Shanghai, you had me and Sister Shen Muyan peel grapes for you, and you were lying on my lap, and Sister Shen Muyan was fee..."

"Hey, hey, hey... Delicious, these meat skewers are really delicious!" Tang Luochuan quickly interrupted. This kind of thing was private between him and the girls; how could she just blurt it out? Did these two girls even understand how to date??

Tang Hai and Zhu Xiumei were old enough to sense the awkwardness.

The two girls were actually still competing, but the method had changed.

Before, they were purely at odds; now, they were harmonious on the surface, and their relationship was actually decent.

But they still had to determine a winner for the title of best girlfriend.

"Oh, just eat! Eat! Yueyue and Wantang have good intentions..." Tang Hai said, then moved his stool aside and looked at his parents.

Tang Hai asked, "Dad! Mom! Is this okay? It's not too spicy, right?"

Grandpa Tang Shuye held his chopsticks and waved his hand. "Not spicy! It's quite good."

Zhu Xiumei also leaned over. "Drink plenty of water. If you two are tired after eating, I'll have Old Tang drive you both back."

The couple wasn't really looking after the old folks; they were just clearing space for their son, pretending not to care.

In reality, while they were talking, their eyes were fixed on Tang Luochuan's side.

Jiang Jinyue also moved her stool to sit on the other side of Tang Luochuan.

"You worked hard today~" the girl said in a very soft voice.

Tang Luochuan lowered his head and muttered, "Who did you learn that from~~ How annoying."

"Self-taught. I feel that since you are so good to me, I should be better to you. Luochuan, open your mouth!" Jiang Jinyue picked up a piece of meat, ready to feed him.

Tang Luochuan opened his mouth with a look of hopelessness as the girl stuffed the meat in.

Su Wantang handed him some juice. "Take a sip."

Tang Luochuan: "At least let me chew it first~~"

The two girls, one in a white dress and one in a black dress, looked like the black and white duo of death in this dimly lit environment, crowding tightly around him.
