“‘Uh… Why don’t we go have some Western food? It’s not appropriate for you to have hotpot now. It won’t be good for your health and your baby.”

Yan Jinyi immediately stopped smiling and exclaimed, “My ass. Don’t believe those nonsensical superstitions. Sangsang ate lots of spicy food when she was pregnant with Mumu, let alone hotpot!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier Yan Jinyi got. “That’s why I don’t want to have kids and you can forget about having me acknowledge you in this lifetime. You’d better go to the mental hospital and be all chummy with Leng Yuxi!”

Actually, Bai Moliang also felt that Huo Xishen was being overly protective but Yan Jinyi was pregnant with his biological niece.

“Tang Qing is the best.”

Tang Qing and Zhuang Heng were the most subservient towards her and would comply with everything she said.

Hearing Yan Jinyi compare her to the gangster Tang Qing, Bai Moliang began to lose his composure. “It’s just hotpot. C’mon let’s go, it’s on me.”

Yan Jinyi was pleased.

Bai Moliang specially chose the cleanest restaurant with the best reputation after careful selection. He even told the staff to sanitize the cutlery and crockery.

The hotpot restaurant was very famous in DC but it was extremely expensive. Apart from holidays, there were very few patrons on other days.

Yan Jinyi specially chose to take a seat by the window. “Let’s not dine in a private room today. By the way, I want spicy soup base.”

“No, you can only have broth as the soup base.”

“Others give in to their sisters all the time. Yet, you don’t. Forget it, I don’t need a brother like you, I’d better…”

“Fine, you can have spicy soup base with lesser chilli.”

Yan Jinyi was pleased.

The hall was rather spacious when the two of them arrived but within half an hour, the restaurant became extremely crowded and lively.

Along the way, Yan Jinyi even managed to see some familiar celebrities making their way upstairs.

“Mr. Bai, Sister Jinyi.”

As they ate, a female voice suddenly rang at the side.

It was crisp and it sounded very young.

Yan Jinyi raised her head, only to see a young woman standing in front of her at some time.

Yan Jinyi had always paid attention to beautiful women so she could recognize her almost immediately at first glance. It was an actress who used to be a guest star in a survival show and who happened to offend Bai Moliang.

“That survival show you joined should have already ended. How did it go?”

Feeling a little awkward, Tao Liu said, “Thanks to you, I managed to be the last contestant chosen to debut, Sister Jinyi.”

Yan Jinyi nodded and said, “Congratulations, you’re quite impressive.”

“Thank you, Sister Jinyi.” After saying that, Tao Liu turned to face Bai Moliang. “Mr. Bai, I’m sorry, I’ll save up to compensate for your shirt.”

Bai Moliang had always hated thick-skinned women like her who would come forward to get close to her. He said to Tao Liu hostilely, “No, just get out of my sight.”

To his surprise, Tao Liu did not stop and instead, she straightened her back and toughened up. “Mr. Bai, I know you thought that I was deliberately trying to seduce you back then. You’re very outstanding, and you’re rich and powerful. Indeed, you’re a dreamboat in the eyes of most women.”

Bai Moliang questioned with displeasure, “So?”

Tao Liu secretly egged herself on. She continued, “I know my status and I’ve never tried to suck up to you. You don’t want to see me but I don’t want to see you either. Don’t worry, I’ll compensate you for your clothes and I’ll shun far as long as you’re around. You’re the last man I’ll seduce.”

After saying that, she even bade Yan Jinyi goodbye and left, deliberately ignoring Bai Moliang’s gloomy gaze.

Yan Jinyi blinked and stared dumbfounded at Tao Liu’s back.

She remembered that Tao Liu was extremely obedient and timid for daring to insult Bai Moliang in public.

‘How impressive! Indeed, you should never judge a book by its cover!’
