Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Chapter 55: Chapter 54: Why Eat Rabbits

”President Murong? How did you come here?”

When Qin Tian walked out of the police station and saw Murong Fei standing there with a worried face, he was somewhat surprised.

Someone bailed him out, and Qin Tian guessed it was Murong Fei, but for Murong Fei to personally pick him up, cough, wasn’t that giving him too much face?

”I just happened to be free.”

Facing Qin Tian’s smile, Murong Fei appeared quite calm.

However, the passersby and policemen around them were all shocked.

This absolutely gorgeous beauty is waiting for this guy? No way, the disparity is too big, right?

Is he her boyfriend? Uh... it’s really a case of a flower stuck in cow dung...

Many men looked at Qin Tian with envy and jealousy, wondering how such an ordinary-looking guy could have such a beautiful wife. That’s just not fair...

”Move it, what are you looking at, you deadbeat? Am I not as pretty as her?”

A couple walked past Murong Fei and Qin Tian, with the woman scolding her boyfriend.

The man’s eyes lingered on Murong Fei, reluctantly turning to his girlfriend and saying, ”Wife, how do you have the confidence to ask that question... Forgive me for not being able to lie.”

”You jerk! Go home and kneel on the washboard, let’s go!”

”Ouch!”

The woman dragged her husband away by the ear, glancing back at Murong Fei while checking out her own figure and chest, feeling deeply embarrassed...

”Thanks for bailing me out.”

Watching the comical scene beside him, Qin Tian smiled at Murong Fei.

”You were working for the company, it’s only right.”

Murong Fei looked Qin Tian up and down, hesitated for a moment, and asked, ”Qin Tian, you... you weren’t hurt, were you?”

”No, no, everything’s fine. It seems like only a few of our security team got some minor injuries,”

Recalling how cigarette butts were squashed under his feet, Qin Tian covered his mouth and chuckled.

It was cheap; if it had happened in the African savanna or the Sahara Desert, the cigarette butts would have been left to rot in the wilderness.

”I’ve been too soft-hearted lately...” Qin Tian reflected inwardly.

”I’ve got a clear picture of the situation. Let’s go, we’ll talk more when we get back.”

Murong Fei got into the car, followed by Qin Tian. Their Ferrari left in a cloud of dust as people watched.

”Son of a bitch!”

From up in the police station, watching Qin Tian swagger off, Meng Yao pursed her lips, feeling very angry.

This time, Qin Tian had escaped again and had even played her for a fool; how was she going to face Captain Zhang in the future.

Meng Yao stamped her foot in anger, but she was also puzzled. How did that man have such a beautiful girlfriend?

She had seen Murong Fei, who was absolutely a celestial beauty. Although she was confident in her own beauty not being inferior to Murong Fei’s, she felt unable to imitate that kind of noble temperament.

”That woman, I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere...”

Murmuring to herself, Meng Yao fell into deep thought, ”Could she be the CEO of some company?”

...

”Have you eaten yet?”

In the car, Murong Fei asked while driving.

It was now past six in the evening.

”No, I’ve been at the police station the whole time,” Qin Tian pouted, waiting for Murong Fei to say something like ”I’ll treat you to dinner.”

However, after asking that question, Murong Fei fell silent, leaving Qin Tian feeling very frustrated.

About ten minutes later, Murong Fei parked the car in a hotel garage.

”I haven’t eaten either, let’s eat together.”

Murong Fei got out of the car and walked straight ahead.

Qin Tian smirked, ”If you want to treat me to dinner, just say it, why be so shy?” He chuckled and followed her.

They were at a restaurant called ”Huang’s.” It didn’t seem to be a star-level hotel, but it was crowded with customers.

Watching Murong Fei navigate the place like the back of her hand, Qin Tian wondered why a beauty like her would come to a non-star-level hotel instead of going for high-end food.

Murong Fei was indeed a regular, quickly leading Qin Tian to a private room.

”The rabbit meat here is good, you should try it.”

The private room wasn’t big, with just the two of them sitting, and a cold dish already on the table.

”Rabbit meat?”

Qin Tian blinked and instinctively glanced at Murong Fei, recalling the famous line from the movie ”A Woman Who Knows How to Coax”: ”Why eat bunny?”

”President Murong, you like... eating rabbit meat?”

Qin Tian sat down, looking at the cold dish on the table, and joked, ”I wouldn’t have guessed—you’re not picky about meat and veggies.”

Usually, women didn’t like to eat the meat of small animals, especially someone like Murong Fei.

”You don’t like it? Then let’s forget it.”

Murong Fei glanced at Qin Tian and picked up her chopsticks to grab a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.

It was a cold dish full of chili peppers and diced rabbit meat, fiery red in color, and without a doubt, it was very spicy.

”This dish is called cold rabbit, try it, it’s really good,” Murong Fei said, seemingly a fan of cold rabbit as she took several bites with relish.

Seeing the beauty enjoy her food so much, Qin Tian swallowed hard and asked, ”Um... is this dish spicy?”

”Are you afraid of spicy food?” Murong Fei asked in return.

To tell the truth, Qin Tian was indeed a little bit afraid of spice. He could handle ordinary spicy food, but extreme spice was a no-go for him.

He remembered once when he went to eat with Tang Wan at some place known for their spicy Sichuan wontons. That girl, on purpose, ordered him the spiciest bowl, which made Qin Tian on the verge of tears, his eyes watering uncontrollably.

There she was, grinning, wiping the sweat from Qin Tian’s forehead while saying, ”Bro, how is it, the spiciness is just right, isn’t it? I love watching you eat chili peppers.”

Another time, when Qin Tian came back from a mission, Tang Wan handed him a grilled chicken wing. Famished, he bit into it only to have tears spring to his eyes from the spice nearly instantly.

The girl laughed again, ”Hehe, bro, these are crazy hot grilled wings I brought from outside. This one is insanely spicy, and it’s getting to you already? I also have a devastatingly spicy one, do you want to try it?”

Thinking back to Tang Wan’s beautiful, beaming face, Qin Tian couldn’t help but feel sentimental, having not eaten her cooking for a long time.

”Of course I’m not afraid of spicy food,” he declared.

Seeing Murong Fei eyeing him, Qin Tian straightened up and with feigned confidence, he picked up a bite with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

”Holy moly!”

After two chews, Qin Tian felt a blaze rising up his throat, damn, it was spicy!

But to be fair, the cold rabbit did taste quite nice. It was aromatic, slightly sweet, numbingly spicy yet crispy—only, it was just too damn hot...

”Is it okay?”

Seeing Qin Tian eat a bite without any expression, Murong Fei asked, ”I was worried you couldn’t handle spicy food, so I asked the chef to use less chili.”

When Qin Tian looked at the dish, damn, it was filled with red chilies! Was this what they called using less?

Watching her through squinted eyes, Qin Tian felt a sense of gloom. Was Murong Fei like his girl at home, loving spicy food? Or is it that all girls like spicy food?

The spicy sensation was unrelenting, and Qin Tian felt tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at her, which made him feel rather awkward.

”Hehe, you’re afraid of spicy food,” Murong Fei said, covering her mouth with a laugh upon seeing Qin Tian’s embarrassed state.

Her laugh, so endearing, could rival that of Tang Wan, although Murong Fei’s smile seemed far rarer.

”Who said I’m afraid of spicy? I think it’s delicious, yeah, not bad,” he persisted seriously, picking another two bites of the cold rabbit and placing them into his mouth.

Damn it, he thought, today was the day to go all out. He couldn’t show weakness in front of her, it was just spice!

”Good, as long as you’re not afraid of spicy food. I was a little worried you couldn’t take it,” Murong Fei said with a smile. ”The dishes I ordered today are all a bit spicy.”

Qin Tian: ”Ah...”

...

That evening, Qin Tian truly had a complete rabbit-based meal with Murong Fei—all the dishes were made from rabbit meat, including rabbit head, cold rabbit, fresh pot rabbit, green pepper rabbit dices... all of them heavy on spice.

”Damn, how did she know I’m afraid of spicy food? As far as I remember, only that girl knows my little secret.”

As dinner was coming to an end, looking at Murong Fei who was still savoring her food, Qin Tian felt extremely frustrated.

Throughout the evening, Murong Fei had kindly treated him to a meal, yet he only had a couple of bites of each dish before resorting to a plate of pickles to fill himself up with three bowls of white rice, stubbornly eaten without much taste.

Even more absurdly, after finishing her meal, Murong Fei still asked him, ”Are you full?”

Feeling like crying but with no tears, Qin Tian nodded, ”Yes, I’m full.”

Murong Fei paid the bill and laughed, ”This restaurant only does spicy dishes well. I wanted to let you try their flavor, not realizing you can’t handle spicy.”

”No, I can eat it,” Qin Tian insisted. ”As a kid, I used to eat chili peppers like they were snacks, handfuls of them, really.”

Murong Fei smiled faintly and said, ”I know.” She then laughed again.

Qin Tian felt so embarrassed but couldn’t object.

The two of them stepped out of the restaurant, Murong Fei spoke up, ”Qin Tian, you did well today at East Park, I originally thought...”

”That I would be scared?” Qin Tian said, his mouth still burning as he gasped, ”Since I’m responsible for the security of the East Park project, President Fei, rest assured, I’ll do it well and there won’t be any problems.”

Murong Fei stopped in her tracks, looked at Qin Tian, hesitated, and then said, ”Qin Tian, I don’t want your promises, just don’t... don’t get hurt like Sun Shuai did. The person is most important.”

For a brief second, their eyes met before Murong Fei turned away and continued walking.

The evening breeze tousled her long hair, which danced beautifully with the wind.

Upon hearing Murong Fei’s words, Qin Tian’s heart paused for a moment.

Back at Dragon Soul, the girl used to tell him the same thing countless times, ”Bro, what’s most important is your safety. I want you to come back safe and sound. I don’t want to see you get hurt...”

Are all women so alike?

Qin Tian was momentarily lost in thought.

”Ding ding ding...”

The phone rang. Qin Tian took it out to see it was from Wild Boar.

”Boss, something’s gone wrong, our internet cafe and KTV have been smashed up!”

As soon as he put the phone to his ear, Qin Tian heard the angry news.

His face changed, ”What happened? Who did it?”
