Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 18 - : Raising a Few Small Animals
Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Raising a Few Small Animals
Tang Jingming seemed completely oblivious to how others saw him as he placed the menu down and flashed a big, bright smile. "But since Miss Xie is so enthusiastic, I'd feel bad for refusing. Let's order Sister Shi a piece of cake."
Xie Fangfang had never encountered someone so shameless, but she couldn't take back what she had said.
She glanced at the price and her smile immediately stiffened.
Tang Jingming was still asking, "Is that okay with you, Miss Xie?"
Faced with the onlooking crowd, Xie Fangfang's smile twitched, and she had no choice but to say, "No problem."
"Really straightforward and generous," Tang Jingming gave a thumbs-up, seemingly afraid she might change her mind, and quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. I won't order anything too expensive, just the same as yours is fine. That's a... Bu Nuo card you've got there, right?"
Xie Fangfang held back and replied, "It's a cappuccino."
"Oh, same difference," Tang Jingming waved his hand grandly, "Then let's have that with extra sugar. I'm an only child at home, can't handle bitterness."
Xie Fangfang felt the gaze of everyone around as if encircling her. But looking at Tang Jingming's looks and his outfit, she gritted her teeth and managed to squeeze out a smile that was still somewhat tender. "This is quite sweet on its own, not bitter at all."
"I know that, of course. In fact, I've grown sick of this stuff at home. I'm ordering it now just to give you face. You know that," Tang Jingming laid the menu in front of Shi Mei, "eating too much ice cream is bad for your health. Drink something hot instead."
Xie Fangfang's smile became even more rigid. "May I ask, what is your relationship with her?"
"Oh, her," Tang Jingming let out a wistful sigh, "We've been together a long time. If it weren't for her car accident...sigh!"
Shi Mei had been fiddling with a fork, but at his words, it 'clinked' to the floor.
Tang Jingming picked up the fork for her, with a look of bitter memories on his face, "But I'm not getting any younger. My mom is really anxious, so she hopes I can meet some other girls. I promised my mom, once I get married, I'll cut ties completely and honestly take over our family's wealth of over a hundred million."
Xie Fangfang's expression was on the verge of collapsing from his earlier comments, but upon hearing the last four words, her face relaxed a great deal.
As if he hadn't noticed her expression, Tang Jingming asked, "So, what's your annual salary? Where do you work?"
Xie Fangfang's smile was now much prettier as she casually replied, "I work in my father's company. There isn't a fixed salary."
Tang Jingming's satisfied expression was plain to see, and he didn't lower his voice at all, saying, "That's good. I've heard your family is in the entertainment industry, right?"
Someone nearby chuckled, "What do you mean 'your family is in the entertainment industry'? Can the industry belong to someone's family?"
"Look at this nouveau riche who seems well-dressed until he starts talking and gives himself away."
"Don't say that; he's actually quite handsome, and the little sister in pink next to him is so cute."

Xie Fangfang struggled to maintain her smile, "My dad is the general manager of Xinghui Entertainment."
"Oh, oh," Tang Jingming said proudly, "That's almost the same, then. Since that's the case, your family can somewhat compare to mine. We're coal miners, we own two houses, and the car I'm driving now is a Ferrari."
Shi Mei suddenly looked up, her voice crisp, "Tang Baobei also has a few small animals at home."
Tang Baobei...
The nickname almost made Tang Jingming fall.
Shi Mei tilted her head in thought, "There's a Jaguar, a BMW, a Range Rover, a Weilong."
