Chapter 754: One can get freebies with a handsome face!

“Aye! Miss, you are so fortunate! Look at how good your man is treating you! A boyfriend who accompanies his girlfriend to a wet market and knows how to cook is really rare these days!”

The auntie selling fish beamed at them.

Actually, she was slightly intimidated by the man’s attire and demeanor.

However, when she saw this expressionless man doting on the woman beside him, the bit of fear in her dissipated, and in its place was a warm and affectionate feeling.

As a woman of her age, she had felt the warm and cold sides of society, and someone with her abundant experience could never miss it.

How could she miss his gentle and loving gaze when he looked at the woman beside him?

Such an exceptional man was actually this gentle toward a plain-looking woman.

That long-lost feeling of flowers blooming in her heart was instantly evoked by the man!

“Auntie likes the look of you two, so I’ll give you a discount today: buy one, get one. How is it?” The fish-stall auntie grinned at the two as she generously offered.

She blinked at her. Although this was not her first time buying goods in the wet market, it was her first time meeting this kind of situation.

Buy one, get one? This…

She turned to observe the man’s flawless face and thought to herself, It’s good to be handsome! One can even get freebies when buying stuff!

“No need.”

Of course, our great CEO Ji disliked taking advantage of people!

Therefore, he resolutely rejected her!

“One fish is enough.”

As he said that, he pointed to the largest and most active carp in the bucket.

“That’s true. A couple like you two won’t be able to eat much fish. Since that’s the case, I’ll just price it more cheaply!”

The auntie selling fish seemed to be bent on giving them a discount.

In usual cases, the seller wanted to earn more, while the buyer wanted to pay less.

However, when it came to the man and the fish-stall auntie, this was the exact opposite.

She could, thus, not help but burst out laughing, only making the man feel confused.

“What are you laughing at?”

He shifted his gaze from the fresh carp on to her.

“Pfft! Ha ha! Nothing, nothing!” She quickly waved her hands at him and continued guffawing. “Nothing, nothing! I just feel that I’ll gain benefits if I bring you along when I buy groceries!”

He peered at her but still could not grasp her thoughts. Still, seeing that nothing was wrong with her, he laid his gaze on the fish again.

“Young lady, I really didn’t expect your boyfriend to be this good at choosing fish.”

The fish-stall auntie chatted her up while packing the fish he had chosen.

“Yes, he’s good at it.” She looked at the thrashing carp in the auntie’s hands and nodded with a smile.

“Young lady, I think you are truly fortunate to have such a good boyfriend.”

“Ha ha! I think my luck is pretty good, too!”

Soon, the two left the fish stall and went on their way with the carp in a plastic bag.

Although there were quite a few people in the wet market, the strange thing was that the air around the man seemed to deter others on the walkways from getting close to him or jostling with him.

“Buy some tomatoes…”

“Buy some tenderloins…”

The two held hands as they went from one stall to another. From how he acted, nobody would think that it was his first time at a wet market.

This made her suspicious. Thus, as he stopped before a stall to buy beef, she asked quizzically,

“Is this your first time buying goods at a wet market?”

“Mhm.” He lightly nodded.

“Then, why does it feel as if you’re very familiar with how things go at wet markets? It doesn’t look like your first time at all!” She became even more confused at his admittance.

Logically, how could this young master have this reaction if it was his first time at a wet market?

“Cough!” He coughed lightly but did not say anything.

She found it even stranger. Seeing him avoid her gaze, she lightly harrumphed.

“Hurry and confess it! Don’t lie to me!”

Not only her mouth, her hands were moving, too.

She lightly pinched his arm and looked at him with eyes that seemed to say, “I’ll strangle you if you lie to me!”

Seeing her tyrannical look and the porcelain-like hand on his arm, he could only helplessly reply, “I did a little research online.”

“Huh?”

Pricking her ears attentively, her mind went blank upon hearing his answer.

“What did you say?” she asked again with uncertainty.

“Cough!” He seemed to be a little embarrassed as he coughed lightly again before he answered softly, “I searched online.”

“…” She looked up at him and blinked. After a short moment’s silence, she burst out laughing.

“Ha ha ha! You’re just buying stuff at a wet market. Why the need to search about it?” She made fun of him.

“Ha ha! My gosh. I can’t take it anymore. I’m gonna die laughing because of you!”

“…” He looked at the little woman beside him smiling so happily and simply stood there expressionlessly, as though he were unaffected by her guffaw.

However, if one observed closely, they would see that his ears had already turned a light shade of pink.

“Ziming, ha ha! You—don’t tell me you chose this wet market because you learned about it online, too?” She hugged his arm as she kept teasing him, breathless from laughing too much.

The man’s lips twitched slightly as he peered at the little woman looking at him with a wide grin. He then calmly refuted, “Of course not.”

“Th-Then, tell me honestly; how did you learn about this wet market?” She looked at him with a wry smile. She realized that the more time she spent with this annoying fellow, the more amusing and cuter she found him to be!

“GPS. This is the wet market closest to where you stay,” he calmly replied.

“Ohhhh! GPS, huh…” She gazed at him with a smile in her eyes and then muttered, “Why haven’t I seen you turn on the GPS along the way, though?”

“…” He froze. A vexed look flashed past his eyes.

“Say it. Quickly tell me honestly; how did you know about this wet market? I didn’t even know about it!”

Seeing his blank expression, she continued. “Uh-huh! I remember someone going out for a bit this afternoon!”
