Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!-Chapter 50 - Probe

After crossing the bustling street, Kong Rui still walked forward quickly without any intention of stopping.

Nie Yin saw that Li Ling was acting a little strange and quickly reached out to grab her arm.

Kong Rui was shocked. Although she stopped in her tracks, she subconsciously wanted to wave Nie Yin’s hand away.

Before Kong Rui could move, Nie Yin released his grip. “I’m sorry! I was too rude!”

Before Kong Rui could speak, Nie Yin spoke first. “Sister Ling, we’ve arrived at the restaurant.”

Only then did Kong Rui react. She looked up at the huge restaurant in front of her and the bright golden sign on it.

“What’s wrong, Sister Ling?” Nie Yin asked with concern when he saw Li Ling’s strange expression.

Kong Rui shook her head, but she sneered inwardly.

What could she have on her mind? She had been trapped in the palace since she was young and then went to the Demon Abyss. How could she know where this restaurant was?!

Kong Rui pursed her lips at Nie Yin and said, “I was thinking about something just now and was distracted.”

She didn’t want to let Nie Yin discover that she had lost her composure, so she made up an excuse. Nie Yin didn’t suspect anything and only said to Kong Rui, “Let’s go in!”

The two of them had just taken two steps when the waiter at the door recognized Nie Yin. “Young Master Nie, you’re here!”

Nie Yin nodded in agreement.

The waiter looked at Nie Yin and immediately shouted, “VIP guests, the four of you!”

Not daring to delay Nie Yin and the others, the boss of the restaurant quickly ran out and led the way for Nie Yin and the others.

They only sat down when they reached the innermost private room.

Kong Rui sat by the window, where she could see the people coming and going on the street.

She had never enjoyed this kind of lifestyle in her entire life.

And she actually had to thank Li Ling for all of this!

Kong Rui immediately felt a trace of coldness inside. She wanted them to pay the price for everything she had lost!

Kong Rui kept staring out of the window. She supported her chin with one hand and seemed to be thinking about something.

Nie Yin called her twice, but she didn’t hear him.

Fu Jiao frowned and grabbed the lid of the tea bowl in front of her before throwing it at Kong Rui.

Kong Rui reacted quickly and grabbed the lid that almost hit her face. She turned to glare at Fu Jiao. “What are you doing?!”

Fu Jiao didn’t expect Li Ling to suddenly be so fierce and was stunned.

Seeing this, Lei Peng hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “She just saw that you didn’t respond after Brother Nie called you for so long, so… she wanted to remind you.”

Kong Rui looked at Lei Peng and shifted her gaze to Fu Jiao again. “I will respond to whoever I want to. If I don’t want to respond, I won’t. I don’t need you to remind me!”

Fu Jiao was instantly furious, but she still glanced at Nie Yin warily.

Seeing that Nie Yin didn’t seem to be angry with Li Ling’s rudeness, Fu Jiao could only secretly bite her lower lip and blame herself for being nosy!

Seeing that Fu Jiao didn’t say anything else, Kong Rui restrained her emotions.

However, she was still secretly shocked.

She was indeed in a daze just now and didn’t notice that Nie Yin had been shouting “Li Ling”.

She shouldn’t be like this!

She should not let her guard down, especially in such an environment!

Kong Rui restrained her emotions and turned to look at Nie Yin. “Why did you call me?”

Hearing Kong Rui’s distant tone when asking the question, Nie Yin couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

In the past, Li Ling was always so clingy towards him and called him Brother Nie. When did she become so aloof?

What on earth had happened?

Was the person in front of him still Li Ling?

There were a thousand questions in Nie Yin’s mind, but he couldn’t find an answer.

Finally, he gave up on thinking about it and smiled at Kong Rui. “It’s nothing. I wanted to ask if there’s anything you want to eat.” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

In the past, Li Ling always liked to drag Nie Yin to the First Restaurant, and although Nie Yin hadn’t deliberately tried to remember the few dishes she often ordered, he had some impression of them.

This time, he could take the opportunity to probe her.

Kong Rui frowned slightly and touched her abdomen gently. “I was poisoned a few days ago and haven’t recovered yet. I don’t have much of an appetite.”

Kong Rui’s excuse was good. If she had been poisoned before, she naturally had to pay more attention to her food. If she ate the wrong thing, wouldn’t her life be in danger?
