Pu Cangxie’s mind was racing, but his deep black eyes remained locked on the girl crying with her head down.
Was she really sent by his grandfather? If so, his grandfather was truly remarkable to find such a character!
She said she was so sad, and his heart slightly stirred. Even though he was used to women’s tears, he couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.
No food… No! No marriage and she cries like this? Alas! He’d be crazy to pay her any attention!
Determined not to engage with her, he sped up his work, but after barely two seconds, he stopped, her sobbing still echoing in his ears…
There was nothing unusual about this, what was unusual was the absence of voices consoling her and criticizing him.
He couldn’t help but look up, seeing the surrounding diners’ hateful and accusatory looks, mixed with sympathy for the young lady, and suddenly felt a surge of anger.
So this was supposedly his fault? Decisively, he took back the half-eaten bowl of noodles in front of her.
“Ah? Ah…” Shang Kexin, who had been observing the situation from the corner of her eye, quickly noticed something was wrong. Her noodles… her noodles!
“What ‘ah’? Too busy crying, and the noodles got cold,” he said coldly.
“But… but…”
With her food gone, she even forgot to continue her act of crying. Her tragic expression now came genuinely from her heart.
“You can leave now. The small shop is closing. Everyone, please pay your bill,” he once again urged, disregarding everyone’s resentful looks.
Shang Kexin opened her eyes in disbelief. He… he really told her to get out? He wouldn’t even leave her the remaining half bowl of noodle soup?
Woo woo… This man was truly too much!
She suddenly stood up, turned, and ran out of the small shop, dashing out of the alley and disappearing.
“Hmm…” Everyone stared blankly at her departing figure, and one voice timidly spoke up—
“Was she… trying to get a free meal?”
“Idiot!”
Immediately, the speaker was hit several times.
“Ouch!”
“Oh? The lady left a big bag!” The old man noticed and picked up the large bag from the ground, placing it on the table.
Pu Cangxie looked and was stunned.
It was an expensive brand-name bag!
