His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

The meal was enjoyed with total abandon, but when the bill came, the entire mood turned gloomy.

The attendant walked over and placed the bill in front of Shi Guang.

Right away, Shi Guang felt that the food she had just eaten did not taste all that great.

1,700 yuan! How expensive!!

She had known from the beginning that eating seafood would be more expensive, but she did not know that it would be THIS expensive.

‘Hold on, I don’t seem to have brought that much money?’

Shi Guang took out her wallet and looked at it, giving off an embarrassed expression. She then looked at Lu Yanchen with a pleading face. “Please get the bill. I really didn’t bring that much money with me.”

She truly did not believe that Lu Yanchen would have forgotten his wallet.

Lu Yanchen’s expression was still indifferent. “Can’t you tell with a single look whether or not my wallet and phone are here?”

Shi Guang scanned him from head to toe—he was dressed extremely casually.

And honestly, it was true that she could make out whether or not his pockets were empty in this hot summer day.

Pained over her money, Shi Guang truly did not want to foot the bill. With extreme reluctance, she poured her wallet out, causing every single bit of spare change to roll out as well.

However, even with all her cash added up, it was no more than 500 yuan.

She had around 800 yuan left in her card.

All of these added up were her household expenses for the month.

But even then, they were not enough to foot this bill.

She then looked at the attendant with a face full of smiles. “Erm, I didn’t bring enough money today. Can you guys give a discount?”

“You hold on there. I’ll go check with the boss.” There was no way the attendant could or want to make a decision.

Shi Guang looked at Lu Yanchen.

‘Gosh, you’re a man! How can you sit there so carefreely? Aren’t you afraid that people might laugh at you for being a gigolo that eats off a woman?’

She ground her teeth. “You didn’t bring your wallet and you came here to order a meal. Not only that, you ordered so much!”

Lu Yanchen leaned back against his chair and looked at her in a state of complete ease, reversing the question with a complete nonchalance, “You don’t have the money and yet you ate with such reckless abandon earlier on!”

Three black lines appeared on Shi Guang’s frowned forehead.

Indeed, one must never have any bit of a closer relationship with a man they had already broken up with. Stuff like friends after meeting again, that was all stuff to trick three-year-olds.

She replied really seriously and sternly, “We’re splitting the bill for this meal. Remember to pay me when we get back.”

…

The attendant returned swiftly as she smiled at Shi Guang while saying, “It was our boss’ wedding anniversary yesterday. Because of that, he came up with an event that all couples who dined here yesterday could have a free meal. I’ve explained your situation over to our boss earlier on, and he said that he could extend the event till today just for you guys. However, you will have t…”

‘Free meal!’

Shi Guang bolted upright and cut the attendant’s words. “You said that your boss is going to give us a free meal! Oh gosh! I’m really so grateful to your boss!”

This was simply for the best! She thought that she would have to break the bank for this crazy meal.

Indeed, good things would come for the kind!

The attendant then smiled at her again. “Alright then, the two of you give us a kiss! I’ll then take a photo of that and advertise it on the promotional section of our website!”

The boss had taken a quick glance at the two of them, remarking that this was a hunk and a babe.

It was especially the case for that hunk—he was practically a rare gem in this world. He was the best choice for them to use as promotional material, hence his willingness to give them a free meal.

The initially ecstatic Shi Guang felt her heart sink down into an icy lake as she stuttered, “W-What did y-you say?!”

“Kiss, and we’ll take a photo and advertise it on the promotional section of our website!” The attendant repeated her words slowly.

“W-Why…do you guys have something like this?” Shi Guang’s entire face was flushed in embarrassment. She even had thoughts of suiciding at this moment as the temperature of her reddening cheeks was practically high enough for her to cook an egg.

If she could, she would bury herself into a hole so deep right now that she would never ever show her face to the world again.
