Game Of Thrones : Merchant of Two Worlds

"No, no, that's not what I meant! Honestly, I only looked at Lin Xiaohan just now, not at you…" Jason Liu tried to clarify.

When Jiang Chuchu heard his explanation, her expression darkened even more.

"Hahaha—"

Lin Xiaohan finally burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking. She found Jason Liu's bluntness completely hilarious.

"Hmph, Lin Xiaohan, isn't it funny how quickly friendships can turn sour?" Jiang Chuchu remarked, looking at Lin Xiaohan with a playful smirk.

Seeing Lin Xiaohan laugh, Jiang Chuchu's mood soured. She reached over to poke Lin Xiaohan playfully. "You two are terrible! You haven't even started dating yet, and here you are ganging up on me! Just wait until I unleash my 'Nine-Yin White-Bone Claws' on you!"

Jiang Chuchu's small hands began to playfully claw at Lin Xiaohan, making her giggle uncontrollably. Lin Xiaohan blushed with a bright smile, which caught Jason Liu's attention.

"Alright, alright, Chuchu, I was wrong to laugh! Please forgive me!" Lin Xiaohan surrendered, realizing she couldn't win against her.

The playful interaction between the two young women drew the attention of other diners at nearby tables. Several middle-aged men looked over enviously, glancing at Jason Liu with curiosity, while silently cursing themselves for missing out on such fun.

They then turned their attention back to their own table, laughing with the overly flamboyant woman seated across from them.

After a few moments, Jiang Chuchu finally let go of Lin Xiaohan, satisfied. She then shot a glare at Jason Liu, who had been watching the scene with a smug look on his face. "What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I'll dig out your eyeballs!"

Jason Liu flinched at her threat and quickly looked away, thinking to himself, This woman is not someone to mess with.

After their playful tussle, Jiang Chuchu and Lin Xiaohan quickly sat up straight, adjusted their clothes, and regained their composed, graceful appearances.

Even Jiang Chuchu, who had been laughing so hard just moments ago, now looked like a dignified goddess, completely hiding her playful nature.

It's no wonder people say girls are the hardest to understand! Their ability to change moods so quickly is astonishing!

With a sigh, Jason Liu called the waiter over to order, as he was feeling quite hungry and ready to treat himself to a big meal.

Both Lin Xiaohan and Jiang Chuchu ordered steak. Jason Liu pretended to casually glance at the other tables while also ordering steak, specifically asking for the largest portion, afraid he wouldn't be satisfied otherwise.

When the waiter heard Jason Liu request the biggest portion, he maintained a polite smile, but inwardly he groaned, Another guy who has never eaten Western food!

In Western restaurants, there are no size options for steak; it's all about the quality of the food and the dining experience.

If he wanted to eat more, he'd have to pay for another meal!

However, years of strict training in restaurant etiquette stopped the waiter from revealing his annoyance, and he replied with a smile, "Sir, I'm sorry, but our steak portions are predetermined, regardless of size."

"Really?" Jason Liu felt embarrassed; this was his first time at a Western restaurant, and he had no idea how things worked.

"Just serve him two steaks, thank you!" Lin Xiaohan said loudly, easing Jason Liu's embarrassment.

The waiter smiled confidently at Lin Xiaohan. "Of course, ma'am!"

"Seriously, Senior? You didn't know this? Have you ever taken girls to a Western restaurant?" Jiang Chuchu teased him.

Jason Liu didn't get upset; instead, he nodded calmly and admitted, "Yeah, this is my first time eating at a Western restaurant, and I never had the money to waste here before! I saw that a small steak costs 988! It's outrageous!"

"They don't just sell beef; they sell the whole dining experience," Jiang Chuchu replied with a laugh, then added, "But you can't regret it now that we've ordered! You invited us, and you can't back out. Just learn and grow from this experience."

In the end, her playful comment made Jason Liu shiver.

Lin Xiaohan shot her a disapproving look, knowing that Jiang Chuchu loved to tease people, especially straight men like Jason Liu.

"Don't! Please don't use your powers on me; I can't handle it!" Jason Liu pretended to rub his arms as if he were cold, trying to play along.

"Come on, don't all you guys like it when girls act cute?" Jiang Chuchu teased, enjoying her little revenge on him.

Ah, you think you're being cute?

What you're doing isn't acting cute; it's more like summoning spirits!

Jason Liu slightly twitched his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I promised to cover this meal, so I won't let you pay! Besides, with my current wealth, eating a Western meal is like drinking water for me."

Seeing Jason Liu pretend to be a wealthy local, Lin Xiaohan couldn't help but chuckle.

At that moment, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

They started with appetizers like caviar, foie gras, and hazelnut salmon, followed by cream and vegetable soup.

They didn't order red wine because both Jason Liu and Lin Xiaohan were driving and didn't really enjoy drinking. Jiang Chuchu found it boring to drink alone, so she didn't order any either.

This frustrated the waiter serving them; less alcohol meant less commission for him, which was disappointing.

He couldn't help but think while serving, Men can't take a chance if the women don't drink!

Next, they were served classic French snails, which Jason Liu looked at hesitantly. He wanted to try it but felt too intimidated to eat something so unusual.

In contrast, Jiang Chuchu and Lin Xiaohan were unfazed.

Soon, their steaks were brought to the table.

Lin Xiaohan and Jiang Chuchu each had one steak in front of them, while Jason Liu had two.

Looking at his small plate of beautifully cooked steak, Jason Liu picked up his knife and fork, cut the steak in half, and took a bite.

Mmm, it tasted great and was so tender!

After enjoying his meal for a while, the conversation turned to Jason Liu starting his own company.

Lin Xiaohan took a sip of her juice, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and asked, "Jason Liu, now that your company is registered, when are you planning to start hiring people?"

With half a steak in his mouth, Jason Liu swallowed hard, took a sip of his juice, and replied, "I'm going to start recruiting people tomorrow on the job site. I'll be handing over all the office equipment to Jiang Chuchu, and once we hire, we'll open the doors right away!"
