Chapter 213 Taking Advantage
Wei Dongning had just finished yawning when she heard Xiao Wu's words and subconsciously looked in that direction.
When they finally saw who was sitting there, they almost forgot to close their mouths.
"It's not easy, it really isn't easy." Wei Dongning clicked her tongue in admiration, then gestured for Xiao Fu to follow her and look: "Xiao Fu, turn around."
"Huh?" Xiao Fu turned his head in response to Wei Dongning's voice.
Then, she showed the same surprised expression as Wei Dongning: "I didn't see wrong, did I? That's the young master and Miss Lu?"
"You and Xiao Wu wait here, I'll go over and tease them."
After saying that, Wei Dongning stood up, tiptoed, and quietly walked to the two of them.
Then, to the two people's astonishment, he plopped down next to Lu Xinrong, greeted them with a smile, and then teased Wei Xiuming, "Big brother, you and Sister Lu are here to eat braised pork knuckle too?"
"Ah, yes," Wei Xiuming stammered. "When did you arrive? Have you eaten yet? Would you like to eat with us?"
Logically speaking, given Wei Xiuming's keen perception, it should have been easy for him to discover Wei Dongning.
However, he was so engrossed in listening to Lu Xinrong that he completely ignored his surroundings.
Wei Dongning's sudden appearance really startled him.
Wei Dongning pointed back to where Xiao Fu was: "I just arrived, so I'm sitting right there. I won't eat with you, so as not to disturb your date with Sister Lu."
After saying that, she winked at Lu Xinrong ambiguously and said, "Sister Lu, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you to play another day."
Lu Xinrong blushed at Wei Dongning's teasing and nodded shyly in agreement.
After teasing the unmarried couple, Wei Dongning hummed a tune as she returned to her seat.
Xiao Wu was a little confused when he saw that she had returned so quickly: "Aren't you going to chat with your brother and the others a little longer?"
"It's obvious you've wasted all your social skills. What was I doing just standing there while the young couple was on a date? I have absolutely no sense of propriety."
Over time, without human touch, everything turned into an accident.
She definitely wouldn't do such a bad deal.
Seeing that Xiao Wu wanted to say something more, Wei Dongning continued to explain to her, "Think about it, if you had a boyfriend, would you want someone to disturb your date?"
Xiao Wu immediately shook his head vigorously: "No way."
"That settles it then. Just relax and wait for your braised pork knuckle."
Although Wei Dongning said she would buy two big pork knuckles for Xiao Wu when comforting it last night.
However, when they arrived at the restaurant, to avoid wasting food, they only ordered one.
Of course, the one I promised to pack for Gu Peiyan doesn't count.
When the braised pork knuckle was served, Wei Dongning felt like she could see a green light in Xiao Wu's eyes.
Xiao Wu clung to Xiao Fu's arm with both paws, desperately trying to be cute.
Xiao Fu wasn't sure if Xiao Wu could really eat these things. Looking at its expectant face, she felt it was too cruel to bring it here only to not be able to feed it. She looked at Wei Dongning for help: "Young Madam?"
Did you bring the small bowl I asked you to bring?
"I took it." Xiao Fu quickly took the item out and placed it on the table.
Wei Dongning picked out a few pieces of meat and put them in a small bowl. She patiently washed the meat several times with clean water before pushing it in front of Xiao Wu: "Eat."
"Ningbao! I really love you so much!" Xiao Wu meowed and lowered its head to start fighting with the meat in its bowl.
It was as if it was afraid that someone else would rush out and steal its food.
"Eat slowly, no one will take it from you, there will be more when you finish."
Wei Dongning felt that its "brutal" way of eating at this moment was simply unbearable to watch.
Anyone who didn't know better would think it never gets enough to eat at home.
However, Xiao Wu was only focused on the pork knuckle in front of him and didn't hear what she was saying at all.
Wei Dongning shook her head in exasperation and picked up her chopsticks again: "Xiao Fu, you eat too."
Wei Xiuming and Lu Xinrong ate much faster than Wei Dongning and the others. When they finished eating and paid the bill, Wei Dongning and the others still had more than half of their food left.
Since Wei Dongning only came to scare him today and didn't disturb his and Lu Xinrong's meal too much, Wei Xiuming paid for her meal as well when he paid the bill.
However, he did not tell Wei Dongning that after paying the bill, he left directly with Lu Xinrong.
Of course, he also told the waiter not to tell anyone about this beforehand.
So it wasn't until Xiao Fu went to pay the bill that she found out that someone had already treated them to this meal.
Wei Dongning, holding Xiao Wu, flicked its head and said, "See? It's got good eyesight and saved us a lot of money."
"I suddenly feel that today's braised pork knuckle is many times tastier than usual."
"Ok?"
"The food that others pay for always tastes better than what you pay for yourself," Xiao Wu commented honestly.
As the saying goes, "If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a fool."
Noticing Xiao Wu's thoughts, Wei Dongning gave it an even harder flick on the forehead: "Have you forgotten that there's one more thing?"
"what?"
"Penny wise, pound foolish."
"Ah." Xiao Wu couldn't argue with Wei Dongning, so he wisely chose to shut up.
Xiao Fu, carrying a packaged pork knuckle, stood beside Wei Dongning and watched the bustling street with her for a while before asking, "Young Madam, where are we going now?"
Wei Dongning pondered for a moment: "I'm a bit too full from lunch. But it's not very convenient to go anywhere with the pork knuckle in hand. Let's go home first, and drop Xiao Wu off there too, then the two of us can go out for a walk."
However, given Wei Dongning's understanding of herself, once she reaches her doorstep, she probably won't want to come out again.
Xiao Fu readily agreed to whatever she said: "Yes, young mistress."
The two, one holding a cat and the other carrying something, strolled slowly toward the Gu residence.
Since there's nothing else going on today, they can get home whenever they want.
Unexpectedly, as they passed a small stall, they were stopped in their tracks by a call: "Please wait, ladies."
Wei Dongning glanced at the stall. The stall owner was an old man with a long beard, dressed in white, and with a somewhat otherworldly air about him.
The flag next to the table had the words "divination" written on it in large characters.
"Grandpa, is there something important you need from us?"
