Chapter 65: An Active Invitation from Qiao Shanshan
"Damn it! You! You all!! Hmph! Next time, I'd rather die than cook for you guys!" Wen Lan glared at Li Bin angrily, plopped down at the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and spitefully shoved a mouthful of charred greens into her mouth.
"Pff!! Pfft pfft pfft!!! Ugh!.." Wen Lan stood up awkwardly. After spitting out the remaining black mush in her mouth, she forced a smile: "Alright, brother-in-law, little sister, let's just eat out today... um... it's my treat..."
"Great!" Li Bin, as if granted a great reprieve, immediately nodded his head. He then secretly glanced at Wen Ting, wanting to take this opportunity to improve his relationship with her.
"Okay, but it's inconvenient for us two girls to have our brother-in-law tag along. Brother-in-law should just stay home and write your book. We can bring some delicious food back for you later. Right, brother-in-law?" Wen Ting said to Li Bin with a forced smile.
Li Bin froze, once again left at a loss by Wen Ting's actions.
Could it be that Wen Ting was sending him away so she could privately tell Wen Lan about last night?
At this possibility, Li Bin's clothes were instantly soaked with a cold sweat, and his heart began to pound nervously.
"You dead girl, what's so inconvenient about having brother-in-law with us? I don't get what's wrong with you, why are you always targeting brother-in-law? If it weren't for him last night, do you have any idea how much trouble you would've been in?" Wen Lan glared at Wen Ting with some dissatisfaction, seeming a bit angry.
"Is that so? Then thank you, brother-in-law. But, second sister, I just want you to spend some time with me alone!" Wen Ting replied with a lukewarm smile, her tone stubborn.
"Ah? Haha... you two should go. I actually have some things to do today and can't go out with you. You two go, just remember to bring me back something tasty." Faced with Wen Ting's gaze, Li Bin's heart was ultimately filled with tension and guilt, so he could only laugh dryly to smooth things over.
"You two... are acting a bit strange... Honestly, fine! Then today, your big sister will take you out to clear your head." Wen Lan gave Wen Ting and Li Bin a strange look.
Fortunately, Wen Ting had always been cold towards Li Bin, so Wen Lan didn't suspect anything. She took Wen Ting, waved to Li Bin, and they headed out together.
Only after the two sisters left did Li Bin let out a long breath.
That feeling just now was simply like being tortured, leaving Li Bin feeling so suppressed he could barely breathe.
There was nothing he could do, who told him to have a guilty conscience?
But this was for the best. With nothing to do in the afternoon, it was the perfect chance to try and ask out that Qiao Shanshan.
Li Bin took out his phone and saw that Qiao Shanshan had actually sent two more WeChat messages.
Qiao Shanshan: Hey! What on earth are you doing? Why are you ignoring me?
Qiao Shanshan: Forget it, if you're going to ignore me, we should just stop talking. You should just delete me.
Seeing Qiao Shanshan's messages, Li Bin smiled in satisfaction and immediately replied: Sorry, I was busy with some things and didn't see my phone. Have you eaten yet?
Qiao Shanshan: Just finished cooking, about to eat!
Li Bin: Boo hoo hoo... I haven't eaten yet. I was actually thinking of asking you to have a meal with me.
Qiao Shanshan: What? You haven't eaten? Forget about eating out, I have the kid with me, it's inconvenient...
Qiao Shanshan: If you don't mind... how about you come over to my place and eat with me... you can try my cooking.
Go to Qiao Shanshan's house?!!
Seeing Qiao Shanshan's invitation, Li Bin's eyes immediately lit up.
But on second thought, he began to worry.
After all, he was a married man. To rashly go to a married woman's home in broad daylight would be very risky if anyone saw them.
Furthermore, there was a 19-month-old little girl in Qiao Shanshan's house, which always made Li Bin feel a bit strange.
Li Bin: Shanshan, is it really okay for me to come to your house for a meal? Will it be inconvenient?
Just as Li Bin was about to hit send, he was forcibly stopped by the system again.
[The other party mustered up the courage to actively invite you. At this time, you should seize the opportunity and agree immediately. Hesitation will only cause you to miss a good opportunity, and it will also make the other person look down on you and be disappointed in you. You may fall into complete failure and miss this chance. Your side quest may fail. Are you sure you want to send this?]
Seeing the system's prompt, Li Bin hesitated for a moment.
He gritted his teeth and finally decided to take the risk!
How bold you are determines how much you can achieve!
If you want excitement and a hookup, you have to take this kind of risk!
If a beauty actively invites him and he still chickens out, that would be too damn pathetic!
Most importantly, for a first date, he was actually going to a young married woman's house, and her 19-month-old daughter would be there too!
This wasn't just ordinary excitement!
This was playing with his heartbeat!
Just thinking about it made Li Bin's heart race with excitement!
Li Bin: Send me your location, I'll be right over to freeload a meal!
Qiao Shanshan: [Location]
