Chapter 50

Gu Fan got out of the car and also walked towards the restroom. Then he relaxed a bit.

After washing his hands and coming out, he still didn't see Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin, so he had to wait a little.

Women are just troublesome, not as efficient and straightforward as men.

"Is this what you call being hungry? Is it fun to lie to me?" After a full five minutes, Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin finally came out together, and Gu Fan immediately started scolding them.

Can we not let so many lies fill our lives? We can't lose our honesty.

"Really, we are hungry!" Chu Xiaowei said with a smile: "Xin Xin, the food here is really terrible. You said you have a way, what way?"

"I have a trick up my sleeve, follow me!" Chen Jiaxin smiled mysteriously.

Gu Fan followed into the restaurant with a suspicious look on his face.

This service area's restaurant was quite large, and there were many people dining. It was lunchtime, so it was quite noisy.

The appearance of Gu Fan and the two girls caught the attention of many diners.

Apart from those who were truly in a hurry to travel, most people here were making a living on the road.

Such people generally stayed away from bustling city centers and were relatively isolated.

Naturally, they had fewer opportunities to see beautiful women.

Let alone women as beautiful as Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin.

One was mature and alluring, the other young and vibrant. Who wouldn't want to take a few more looks?

Most importantly, it was mid-summer, and they were dressed lightly.

If you looked closely, you could see some scenery... This made everyone feel that the food here wasn't so bad after all.

Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin, holding hands, ignored the gazes of the crowd and walked straight to the kitchen.

Gu Fan soon saw Chen Jiaxin's "trick"! He felt a chill and was speechless, with a bitter smile that couldn't be hidden.

Chen Jiaxin's method was simple: use money to get the right to use the kitchen's equipment and ingredients to cook their own food!

Chen Jiaxin really had a bit of a rich and capricious air.

But money's power was truly great. With money leading the way, Gu Fan and the two girls were warmly guided to the kitchen.

Chu Xiaowei smiled and praised Chen Jiaxin endlessly.

Being able to eat food cooked by Gu Fan in this service area was naturally the best.

As for Chen Jiaxin's behavior of using money, Chu Xiaowei didn't feel it was wrong; instead, she found Chen Jiaxin very cute!

Once people's interests were involved and they felt they could benefit, even behaviors they usually found annoying became cute. This was really hard to explain.

The staff who led them in cleared some people from the kitchen, made a stove available, and gave Chen Jiaxin some instructions before leaving satisfied.

This was a big bonus, and they didn't have to pay much for it, so they were very happy and even hoped for more such people.

"Let's start!" Everything was ready, but Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin found that Gu Fan had no intention of cooking, so they had to urge him.

"Who told you I was going to cook!" Gu Fan was a bit annoyed. They played a "act first, explain later" game, which showed no respect for him at all!

Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin were a bit stunned.

If Gu Fan didn't cook, they would have to stare hungrily.

"Are you going to let Xin Xin's money go to waste?" Chu Xiaowei said angrily: "What a shameful waste!"

"I didn't ask Xin Xin to spend so much money!" Gu Fan was unmoved.

"Brother Gu Fan, please cook a meal. I'm really starving. If I don't eat the food you cook... I feel uncomfortable all over!" Chen Jiaxin immediately used her irresistible trick.

"I won't cook unless..."

"Unless what?" Chen Jiaxin quickly asked.

"Each of you kiss me once!" Gu Fan smiled shyly.

Gu Fan wanted to get back at Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin, to tell them that since they were all out together, they should discuss things first. Playing "act first, explain later" meant they had to be prepared to pay a price.

Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin stared with disbelief.

"No kiss? Then I'm sorry!" Gu Fan said with a smile.

"Brother Gu Fan, there are too many people here. How about you cook first, and we'll kiss you in the car after we eat?" Chen Jiaxin and Chu Xiaowei exchanged glances and quickly responded.

They were really hungry now, so getting Gu Fan to cook was the priority. As for the rest, they could just敷衍过去. Could they really expect women's promises to be effective?

"Speaking of which, you better keep your word!" Gu Fan's eyes lit up. Initially, he just wanted to make them feel less self-important, but now it seemed he was genuinely tempted.

"Speaking of which, can you cook now? We're really hungry!" Chu Xiaowei said softly.

"Alright, alright!" Although this was the kitchen, there were still many people around. Being kissed in public could provoke a lot of anger. After all, when a man's jealousy flares up, it can be very dangerous.

Gu Fan first selected the ingredients and quietly used his spiritual energy to cleanse them.

Then he looked at the other seasonings... they weren't good.

This was expected. In a place like this, how could everything be good? That would be too naive.

So, when using them, Gu Fan still used his spiritual energy to cleanse them.

Soon, four simple stir-fried dishes appeared. Gu Fan also made some soup, and for the main dish, they could eat the rice here. Cooking more would take too much time.

When the fragrant food was served, and Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin eagerly started eating, the other diners were stunned...

What a luxury!

Using money to get the chance to cook their own food? This was really something new.

However, seeing Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin eating so happily, the others became a bit suspicious... Could the food they cooked really be that good?

"This is too terrible, Senior Brother, I want to go over there and take a look!" At one table, a man in his mid-twenties stared at Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin with a dazed look.

"Do you want to eat or to eat people!" A man in his thirties, called Senior Brother, said coldly.

"Senior Brother, hehe..."

"Don't cause trouble."

"Senior Brother, there's no one in this service area. Relaxing a bit is fine. I don't believe you don't want to!"

"Nonsense!"

"Senior Brother, how about the older one goes to you?"

"... Go ahead!"

"Alright, Senior Brother, you'll see!"

Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin felt incredibly happy. Being able to eat such delicious food in a highway service area was a great pleasure in life!

"Don't forget!" Gu Fan was also eating but kept reminding them.

Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin both nodded and exchanged a smile.

Gu Fan felt a bit uneasy... What if they went back on their word? Should he force them? That wouldn't be right, would it?

But they shouldn't go back on their word. They had already promised, so they should keep it.

Gu Fan was already looking forward to the scene after they finished eating and got back in the car.

It had to be said that under his shy and bashful appearance, Gu Fan had a great appreciation for beautiful things.

"Excuse me, can I sit down?" Just as the three were enjoying their meal, a voice suddenly sounded. It was the junior brother of the two.

"No!" Before Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin could speak, Gu Fan firmly refused.

This person had ulterior motives. He seemed not to be staring, but his focus was entirely on Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin.

Liu Cheng was taken aback. He hadn't expected such a straightforward refusal.

"Little brother, you know how terrible the food here is. I want to discuss something with you. Can you cook a meal for me? I'll pay you!" Liu Cheng said with a smile.

"Do we look like we need money? Sorry, I can't help. We're eating, please don't disturb us, thank you!" Gu Fan frowned.

Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin didn't think Gu Fan was wrong.

Women's intuition is very sensitive. They could sense if someone was staring at them.

Such a person should be avoided.

"Little brother, don't be so quick to refuse." Liu Cheng smiled and tried to sit down.

"What's wrong with you? Did I say you could sit?" Gu Fan frowned.

"Beautiful ladies, can I sit down?" Liu Cheng looked at Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin, not at Gu Fan.

"Sorry!" Chu Xiaowei smiled politely and refused.

"This is... really boring. I was trying to be polite. But since you're not giving me any face, I can't be blamed. Beautiful ladies, come with me!" Liu Cheng's face darkened.

"Go with you? Where?" Chen Jiaxin looked curious.

She had seen Gu Fan in action and knew he was a skilled person. So she wasn't afraid at all.

Chu Xiaowei, however, was a bit uneasy.

In the East Sea, even if someone pursued or approached them, they were usually polite... but this person was different. He was very direct, almost shamelessly so!

"I'll make you happier!" Liu Cheng looked at Chen Jiaxin, and his mind was already filled with indecent thoughts, making him feel itchy with anticipation.

Without hesitation, he reached out to grab Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin.

Gu Fan sighed inwardly.

He had already seen that this person was a martial artist.

Relying on his status as a martial artist to forcibly take women—such behavior was despicable!

"Get lost!" So Gu Fan coldly shouted, his face dark.
