Chapter 138: The White Lotus

Zeng Shuo's incident was just a small episode. Apart from making Ji Xiaoli sigh about Zheng Nanfeng's increasing brazenness, it didn't have any other impact.

After bidding farewell to Zeng Shuo, the two continued their crazy shopping spree.

After all, it was rare for them to come out. Ji Xiaoli's wallet had been itching to be emptied for a long time.

Gradually, Zheng Nanfeng's face began to look a bit stiff. "Xiaoli, is this enough?"

Both of his hands were already full of shopping bags. If they bought any more, he really wouldn't be able to carry them.

Ji Xiaoli didn't even turn her head and casually replied, "Don't be in a hurry. Let's go around a bit more."

Since it was a rare opportunity to come out, she must satisfy her shopping desire.

Zheng Nanfeng suddenly regretted his decision. He thought that it would have been better to go for an investment instead.

Even being questioned by others would be better than walking around non - stop like this.

When women went crazy, they were really something.

But Ji Xiaoli was in high spirits, and Zheng Nanfeng really didn't have the heart to tell her to stop shopping. So he could only continue to follow behind her gloomily, carrying the bags.

They shopped until evening. Only then did Ji Xiaoli say reluctantly, "Nanfeng, how about we go around for a while more?"

Zheng Nanfeng's heart skipped a beat. He immediately shook his head and said, "Let's do it next time. It's already so late today. Let's go for dinner first and take a rest."

He also needed a break. Otherwise, he really couldn't hold on.

Ji Xiaoli also felt a bit tired at this moment. She nodded and said, "Let's go to that Western restaurant in front to take a break."

Anyway, the system task had been completed, so there was no need to rush.

Zheng Nanfeng couldn't have been more pleased.

After they were seated, Zheng Nanfeng first went outside to make a phone call, asking someone to take today's spoils back.

Ji Xiaoli sat alone, waiting for the dishes to be served.

But as soon as Zheng Nanfeng left, Ji Xiaoli was approached by someone. "Ah, Sister Xiaoli, is that you?"

Ji Xiaoli looked back and saw an unfamiliar woman.

She had delicate makeup and was wearing a white cocktail dress, but the surprise in her eyes was too exaggerated.

Ji Xiaoli said calmly, "Hello. I don't think I know you, do I?"

"It's all my fault. Sister, please don't be angry. Blame me for forgetting to introduce myself." The woman looked apologetic. "I'm Sun Lulu. I'm also Nanfeng's friend. I just saw you guys and came over to say hello."

Huh? A friend of Zheng Nanfeng's?

Ji Xiaoli subconsciously felt a bit unhappy. This woman even called him "Brother Nanfeng"? Could it be that Zheng Nanfeng had a good - looking younger sister behind her back?

"Oh, do you have anything else to say?" Ji Xiaoli slowly flipped through the menu in her hand, with a cold attitude.

Sun Lulu looked innocent. "Sister Xiaoli, it's rare for us to meet. How about we have dinner together?"

Ji Xiaoli directly refused. "No need. We've already ordered our meals."

"Does it mean that Sister Xiaoli doesn't like me? Did I do something wrong?" Hearing this, Sun Lulu immediately said aggrievedly.

As if Ji Xiaoli was a heinous villain.

Ji Xiaoli was instantly speechless. "Whatever. Then sit down."

At this time, the system also popped up gloatingly.

[Friendly reminder, this woman is not simple.]

Ji Xiaoli: Hmm? Who exactly is this person?

[Player, please note that her scheming value and white - lotus value are very high. Simply put, she is what you humans often call a green - tea bitch.]

After hearing what the system said, Ji Xiaoli took another look and found that she really had that flavor as described on the Internet.

At this time, Zheng Nanfeng also came back after putting away the things. He saw that there was another person sitting next to Ji Xiaoli.

Before he could say anything, Sun Lulu said enviously, "Nanfeng is so considerate to you, Sister. I just saw that he was carrying a lot of things. If only I had a boyfriend as good as him."

Ji Xiaoli raised her eyebrows. "You can also ask your boyfriend to carry things for you."

Sun Lulu said shyly, "But I'm still single. I always carry things by myself. I really envy you, Sister."

With just a simple sentence, she not only revealed her current single status but also subtly hinted at something.

Ji Xiaoli twitched the corner of her mouth. "Miss, it seems that you're older than me. I don't have a younger sister like you."

Sun Lulu's face stiffened for a moment, and then she instantly returned to normal. She said pitifully, "It's all Lulu's fault. Because you look more mature, Xiaoli, I subconsciously wanted to call you Sister."

Zheng Nanfeng's eyebrows twitched violently. This woman seemed a bit strange.

Ji Xiaoli just responded with a "hmm" and ignored her.

But how could Sun Lulu give up so easily? She seemed concerned and said, "By the way, Xiaoli, I heard that you used to live in an orphanage. Was the situation really miserable? I heard that those places are very chaotic and people don't learn good things. It must have been so hard for you to stay with a bunch of scumbags."

This sentence was ostensibly a show of sympathy, but in fact, it was an implication that Ji Xiaoli, who grew up in an orphanage, might have bad morals.

Ji Xiaoli was too lazy to pay attention to her. Such obvious sarcasm really didn't interest her.

She casually handed the menu to Zheng Nanfeng. "I've already ordered a steak. You can choose something too."

Seeing this, Sun Lulu became energetic again. She deliberately covered her mouth and looked very surprised. "Xiaoli, you actually eat such high - calorie steak?"

Ji Xiaoli just found it funny. Did she need this woman to interfere with what she ate?

"Do I need you to mind what I eat?"

Sun Lulu seemed unable to read the situation. She said regretfully, "Xiaoli, you have a really good appetite. If it were me, half a serving of vegetable salad would be enough for me. So I can only wear the smallest - sized dresses like this. Unlike you, Sister, who can wear whatever you want."

The system also quietly popped up.

[Player, she's mocking you for not having a good figure and just dressing randomly.]

Ji Xiaoli let out a chuckle: So this is the so - called white lotus? Praising on the surface but demeaning secretly.

[Player, don't underestimate the white lotus. Generally, men fall for this kind of thing.]

Ji Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and directly retorted, "What I eat is my own choice. I'm not familiar with you. Don't meddle in other people's business."

Hearing this, Sun Lulu's eyes welled up with tears. She glanced at Zheng Nanfeng from time to time. "Xiaoli, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Although I was concerned about you, I shouldn't have said it so directly."

As soon as she started crying, the people around gave strange looks.

Ji Xiaoli was also puzzled. Was this woman's eyes made of a faucet? How could she cry so easily?

The system's voice sounded gloating. [Otherwise, why is she called a white lotus?]

Before Ji Xiaoli could say anything, Zheng Nanfeng directly knocked on the table. "I've been wanting to ask for a while. Xiaoli doesn't know you, and neither do I. So why are you sitting at our table?"

Sun Lulu was stunned. It seemed that all her flirting had been in vain.

But she quickly recovered. "Nanfeng, it's me, Lulu!"

Zheng Nanfeng tilted his head and thought for a while. "Oh, do I know you?"

Sun Lulu's face stiffened. "Nanfeng, I'm your college classmate..."

Zheng Nanfeng directly interrupted her haughtily. "Sorry, I don't know you. Please leave. Thank you."

"Nanfeng, how can you treat me like this?" Sun Lulu's face became even more aggrieved when she heard this.

Zheng Nanfeng forced a smile and said coldly, "First, I don't know you. Please don't be so intimate. Second, if you don't leave, don't blame me for asking the security to escort you out."
