Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Spanking in Public_1

"You’re the one itching for a spanking." Li Peichi gave Zhang Xian a scornful look, feeling quite delighted.

Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally several times. He touched Mo Shaoyun’s hand and asked, "Baby, can we switch seats?"

Mo Shaoyun asked coldly, "What are you up to now?"

Zhang Xian said, "Nothing. I just feel I should be sitting in your current seat."

Mo Shaoyun asked, "Why?"

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Because of the principles of science."

"Really?" Mo Shaoyun, aware of Zhang Xian’s intentions and unwilling to let him bully Li Peichi, gave a cold laugh and said, "Forget about switching seats."

Li Peichi looked mighty pleased and teased, "Hehe, going to bite me, are you?"

"Do you think I can’t reach you if Shaoyun doesn’t move?" Zhang Xian suddenly stood up, picked up Li Peichi, and gave her perky bottom a slap.

Li Peichi was startled and cried out, struggling, "Ah! Bastard Zhang Xian, you rogue!"

"Yes, I’m a rogue, what can you do about it?" Zhang Xian said, giving Li Peichi’s bottom another slap.

Her bottom was already pert, and today’s tight jeans made it appear even rounder and perkier, providing an excellent feel when slapped.

Mo Shaoyun and the other women stared in disbelief at Zhang Xian.

Screwing around at home was one thing, but here, in a public place, couldn’t he maintain some dignity? Didn’t he see that there were many people around watching?

Li Peichi noticed the strange looks from the surrounding crowd and pleaded, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, save me."

Mo Shaoyun’s mouth twitched unnaturally several times, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Zhang Xian, if you don’t let go of Peichi right now, you’ll have hell to pay."

"Okay, I’ll listen to my wife." Seeing that Mo Shaoyun was angry, Zhang Xian quickly let go of Li Peichi and returned to his seat.

Li Peichi adjusted her clothes and sat back down, her face flushing crimson under everyone’s astonished gaze. She looked both embarrassed and irresistible.

"Damn, that guy’s got balls..."

"Damn it, why can’t I have such luck with the ladies?"

"Heaven, why do you favor him so? Dining with eight women, each one more beautiful than the last, can he be any more badass?"

The surrounding customers were envious and jealous of Zhang Xian. Bagging one hot beauty was already a huge blessing, yet Zhang Xian had eight all to himself.

"Should we intervene?" Qin Zhao’s eyes were reddening, and he was itching to show off.

Jin Zhong and Qin Zhao were of the same mind. They couldn’t see the beauties they had arranged to meet, which had left them irritated. Seeing so many beauties now, how could they let this opportunity slip by?

The two exchanged a knowing look, stood up, and went over to Zhang Xian’s table, smiling, "Hello, beauties!"

Fu Meiting noticed Qin Zhao and Jin Zhong coming over. She felt a bit uneasy, but did not pay them any mind.

Mo Shaoyun and her friends glanced at Jin Zhong and Qin Zhao but showed no interest. With Zhang Xian there, there was no need for them to entertain these young masters. They knew someone else would handle the situation.

"Why aren’t the beauties talking?" Qin Zhao asked with a smile.

Jin Zhong also grinned, "Exactly! Your table seems crowded. Why not join us at our spacious table?"

Zhang Xian turned his head and looked Qin Zhao and Jin Zhong up and down before asking, "Gentlemen, what can I help you with?"

Jin Zhong smiled and said, "Nothing special. We just want to make friends with the ladies."

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Sorry, I don’t think the ladies want to be friends with you. So, please don’t bother us."

"Bro..." Qin Zhao placed his hand on Zhang Xian’s shoulder, "Don’t burn bridges. We just want to make friends—we’re not looking for trouble."

Zhang Xian felt that these guys must have some background, they were so cocky, and he lost any semblance of fondness for them, "How do you want to play this?"

Qin Zhao gave a cold smile, "What? Brother, are you ready to throw down with us?"

Jin Zhong patted Zhang Xian’s shoulder and chuckled, "Bro, I advise you against it. We’ve got some underworld connections, if you know what I mean."

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but I like busting gangsters. So, you better not provoke me."

"Damn..."

Qin Zhao, displeased by Zhang Xian’s tough stance, said angrily, "Ever heard of Qin Mazi from Twin Peaks District? That’s my dad—I suggest you stop being so arrogant."

"Really?" Zhang Xian smirked and retorted, "You are on Xitan District territory right now. You should be aware of Buckteeth Zhou from here. He’s my underling."

Qin Zhao and Jin Zhong were stunned. This guy was Buckteeth Zhou’s boss? Unbelievable!

Jin Zhong’s mouth twitched unnaturally several times before he snapped, "You think we’re fools? You, a boss? You’re just a clown."

"Ugh, why don’t you believe me?"

Zhang Xian sighed and stood up, asking, "So, do you guys plan to leave on your own, or should I kick you out? Don’t you realise your constant chattering is annoying the ladies?"

Qin Zhao grabbed hold of Zhang Xian’s collar, coldly saying, "What the hell do you mean? Do you really want a fight?"

Zhang Xian’s eyes turned frosty, and unexpectedly kneed Qin Zhao, sending him flying. "Actually, I didn’t want to resort to violence. You guys brought this upon yourselves, jerks!"

"You..." Jin Zhong fumed, raising his fist to strike.

Zhang Xian sidestepped the incoming fist and slapped Jin Zhong mid-air, causing him to crash into a nearby chair. "Dare to try that again, and I’ll do more than slap your face."

Jin Zhong and Qin Zhao sprang up from the ground, slightly surprised. They hadn’t expected such an ordinary-looking guy to be so formidable.

Just now, they didn’t even know how Zhang Xian had made his move. They were taken down instantly, at an outrageously fast speed.

After giving Zhang Xian a cold look, they left in disgrace, wearing gloomy expressions.

Seeing that Zhang Xian had successfully made enemies with Jin Zhong and Qin Zhao, Fu Meiting should have been pleased. However, she couldn’t bring herself to feel happy. She felt like a scheming villain and felt guilty towards Zhang Xian.

But she had no choice. On one hand was the man she loved, and on the other was a person who had shown her kindness. She didn’t know what choice to make.

Zhang Xian didn’t know what Fu Meiting was thinking. He gave a chuckle and said, "Ladies, I’ve chased away the flies for you. Let’s continue flirting and discussing our life’s aspirations."

Upon hearing this, all the ladies rolled their eyes at Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian wiped his nose, disregarding the ladies’ disdain, and chuckled, "Come on, the food is here. Let’s eat before it gets cold!"

Fu Meiting gave him a slight smile and said, "Alright, everyone, let’s start! No holding back!"

...

The meal quickly came to an end.

Zhang Xian initially thought Fu Meiting had invited the ladies out to discuss something important, but the meal passed without any major conflicts arising. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Xian..."

After leaving the restaurant, Fu Meiting pulled at Zhang Xian and said, "I have something to tell you. can you come with me?"

Zhang Xian followed Fu Meiting to a quieter spot and asked "What’s up?"

"It’s...it’s..." Fu Meiting fumbled for words, unable to articulate a comprehensive sentence.

She had tried talking to Zhang Xian multiple times, and he had rejected her repeatedly. Last time, he was pretty clear that he would not cooperate with Xie Wuming. It seemed inappropriate for her to bring it up again.

Seeing Fu Meiting was having a hard time expressing herself, Zhang Xian smiled and asked, "This is about Xie Wuming again, isn’t it?"

Fu Meiting nodded, "I am really in a dilemma."

Zhang Xian asked, "How do you feel about Xie Wuming? Why are you helping her so much? I feel like there’s something strange about your relationship."

"Yes, more or less," Fu Meiting replied. "I think he treats me like a subordinate and has no other plans for me. However, he did provide for me."

Zhang Xian replied, "If that’s the case, I think you should stop persuading me. I have already said it, I will not cooperate with Xie Wuming."

Fu Meiting said, "But..."

"I know you don’t want me to confront Xie Wuming, and it’s hard for you to be caught in the middle," Zhang Xian interrupted Fu Meiting. "Lingxiao Villa is performing well now, and you should know something about it since you also have some investment there. Do you think that I, with such a large villa and a bright future, am suitable to cooperate with Xie Wuming?"

"No," Fu Meiting honestly shook her head.

Zhang Xian’s skills are unparalleled and the way Lingxiao Villa operates is also unique, not focusing solely on entertainment and leisure.

But without a doubt, once the health and medical aspect takes off, the entertainment business will also flourish. At that point, Lingxiao Villa will be recognised by consumers in all aspects.

One could say that as long as there are no unexpected drawbacks, even Xie Wuming, as the kingpin of the underworld in Tiandu City, can’t compare to Zhang Xian.

Not to mention, Zhang Xian is incredibly strong and already dealt with Number Three, Xie Wuming would not dare to cross him. Zhang Xian also has immense backing from the lawful world, making his current position quite enviable.

"And you still want me to cooperate with Xie Wuming?"

Zhang Xian glared at Fu Meiting and said, "Just because Xie Wuming was kind to you doesn’t mean there are no other benefits involved. You must know that he doesn’t have real feelings for you, he just values your skills. Are you really willing to trap me for someone like him? I would be on a downward slide if I cooperated with him, how can you bear that?"

Fu Meiting looked a bit embarrassed, "I...I..."

Zhang Xian wrapped his arm around Fu Meiting’s shoulder and said, "Don’t overthink it. I’ve already promised you that I won’t kill Xie Wuming, that’s as far as I’ll go. If he causes trouble, I won’t let him off."

Fu Meiting looked at Zhang Xian and lowered her head, "Zhang Xian, actually, today, I...I set you up."

Zhang Xian asked, "What do you mean?"

"Jin Zhong and Qin Zhao came over because I asked them to. I did it so that you would feud with Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao," said Fu Meiting, looking apologetically at Zhang Xian. "But Zhang Xian, I...I never intended to actually harm you. I knew that Jin Sanbao and Qin Mazi couldn’t hurt you. That’s why I acted according to Xie Wuming’s wishes. I... I’m sorry!"
