Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 294 You son of a bitch!
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Moli went to the performing arts troupe.

Today is the last working day of the year for the performing arts troupe. She went to the troupe to cancel her leave, making sure to finish what she started, and also to collect her salary for the past two months.

Two months' salary, plus subsidies for traveling to perform for the benefit of the public, and bonuses for scriptwriting, brought me a total of 126 yuan.

Of these 126 yuan, performance subsidies and script bonuses accounted for the majority, and both of these were obtained thanks to Yang Liqiong's help.

That evening, Jiang Moli treated Yang Liqiong, Qian Ling, and Chen Lan to dinner at the Furong Hotel.

After ordering the food, Jiang Moli asked the waiter what kind of wine they had.

Upon hearing that she wanted to order alcohol, Chen Lan quickly said, "Let's skip the alcohol, some soda or juice will do."

Jiang Moli said, "Our last get-together this year must include some drinks, right, Qiongqiong?"

Yang Liqiong didn't approve of drinking in the first place, after all, she knew Jiang Moli's low alcohol tolerance—she would get drunk after just one glass.

But when he met her bright, smiling face, her almond-shaped eyes curving into beautiful crescents, the words of refusal were swallowed back down his throat.

"Okay, have some."

Jiang Moli then looked at Qian Ling with narrowed eyes, "Lingling?"

Qian Ling's heart softened at her smile, and she obediently nodded, saying, "Then let's drink a little less."

Jiang Moli looked at Chen Lan and said with a smile, "Well, the minority should follow the majority, so let's have a Quanxing Daqu and two orange sodas."

Chen Lan sighed helplessly, "I really don't understand why a woman like you likes to drink so much."

Jiang Moli tapped the rim of her cup lightly with her chopsticks, saying as she did so, "Life is only 30,000 days long, with wine and meat, one can be a little immortal."

All three of them were amused by her rhyming doggerel.

The alcohol and soft drinks were quickly brought into the private room.

Jiang Moli lined up the four cups, first filling each cup with more than half a cup of soda, and then pouring in the baijiu (Chinese liquor) one by one.

Yang Liqiong was used to it, but Chen Lan and Qian Ling were seeing it for the first time and were very curious.

"Drinking soda mixed with liquor, what kind of drinking method is that?"

Jiang Moli handed the mixed liquor to the three of them one by one, and said with a smile, "This is Jiang's way of drinking, it's delicious and won't make you drunk."

Hearing her say that, Chen Lan and Qian Ling couldn't wait to try a small bite, and after tasting it, they both nodded in approval.

The sweetness of the soda perfectly masked the bitterness of the baijiu, making it both refreshing and not harsh on the throat.

Jiang Moli raised her glass first, "The first glass is to our Qiongqiong. Without her, there would be no gathering tonight."

Yang Liqiong calmly replied, "I only came because you said you were treating."

Jiang Moli laughed nonstop, "Oh dear, that's not what I meant. Qiongqiong, I must thank you for taking care of me, and I wish our friendship will last forever."

Yang Liqiong raised her glass and clinked it against hers, reminding her, "Drink less."

Jiang Moli made two muffled sounds, then tilted her head back and took a big gulp.

"The second toast is to the year that is about to end. Let's look forward to the future and wish for a better tomorrow."

Following her words, Chen Lan and Qian Ling also raised their glasses.

After finishing their drinks, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

During the New Year's Day celebration, the Chen family held a wedding banquet here. Jiang Moli thought the food was delicious, so she specially brought Yang Liqiong and a few others to try it this time.

After a satisfying meal, Jiang Moli took the opportunity of going to the restroom to pay the bill on the first floor.

When I got to the first floor, I found out that the meal had already been paid for.

After clarifying the bill amount, Jiang Moli turned and went back upstairs.

"Ha, ptooey!"

As Jiang Moli passed the dining table around the corner, a middle-aged man suddenly let out a loud yelp and spat a mouthful of yellow phlegm right in front of her toes.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the person.

The man, speaking with a strong regional accent, glared at her and said, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at, you old man!"

Jiang Moli raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, sir, you're here for dinner today too? Look at the dishes on the table, you've ordered really well, as expected of my sir." She then gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing how cowardly she was, everyone at the table burst into laughter, and the person who yelled at Jiang Moli even showed a smug look of "you know what's good for you".

Jiang Moli turned around and went back to the cashier, where she ordered a large platter of braised dishes.

"Count it as my uncle's table, the one around the corner."

Following Jiang Moli's words, the cashier glanced at the group at the corner table, nodded, and made a note of it.

"Grandpa, please enjoy your meal. I'll be going now."

Carrying the packed groceries, Jiang Moli smiled and waved goodbye as she passed by the same table again.

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Jiang Moli addressed him as "Grandpa" this way and that, and the people at the table seemed to enjoy it and waved back at him.

The cashier witnessed this scene.

Back in the private room, after confirming that everyone had finished eating, Jiang Moli led Yang Liqiong and the other two out the back door and left the restaurant.

After half an hour.

The man downstairs looked at the braised food platter on the bill and yelled at the cashier, "Are you running a rip-off? We've never eaten this dish before!"

The cashier was also angered by the other party's attitude, "This dish was ordered by your niece, who said it would be charged to your table."

"What niece? This is my first time in Chengdu, where would I get a niece?"

"She stood here talking to you for ages, and you even said goodbye when she left. Now you're trying to deny it? You two aren't in cahoots to dine and dash, are you? If you dare not pay, I'll call the police!"

The cashier wasn't unaware that she might have been scammed by Jiang Moli.

But Jiang Moli had already left, so she could only insist that the two knew each other in order to absolve herself of responsibility.

When the waiter threatened to call the police, the man had no choice but to admit defeat.

They were in town on business, and it's not worth it to cause a scene at the police station over a dish and ruin their business.

"Damn it, I'm just unlucky! Don't let me run into that bitch again!"

"Disdain value +5, 50000 yuan credited."

The group of people at the table were all out-of-towners visiting Chengdu for the first time. They never expected to be tricked by a local girl, and they were all very unhappy.

After the group paid their bill and left, the cashier told the staff about this bizarre incident, successfully earning Jiang Moli another 4 points of dislike.

……

The bus slowly pulled up in front of the bus stop.

As soon as Jiang Moli got off the bus, she saw Lu Cheng standing in front of the bus stop like a pine cone.

Upon seeing her, Lu Cheng's icy face instantly melted, revealing a smile.

He took two steps to meet her, "You're finally back! I've been waiting for you so long!"

Jiang Moli retorted, "I didn't make you wait."

Lu Cheng took her bag and slung it over his shoulder, then took the groceries from her hand, and said good-naturedly, "I wanted to wait for you, but you didn't want to come to the restaurant to pick you up."

"Tonight is a gathering of our female comrades. It's inconvenient for you to go in while you're standing guard at the restaurant entrance, but it would seem cold of me not to let you in."

Jiang Moli put one hand in her pocket and linked her other arm with his, explaining as she spoke.

Lu Cheng looked down at the arm his wife was holding, and instantly felt that the wait of the night was worth it.

He then picked up the paper bag that Jiang Moli had brought back and sniffed it.

"It smells delicious, is it something to eat?"

Jiang Moli smiled and replied, "I brought it back for you to have as a late-night snack."

Lu Cheng was overjoyed by the flattery.

His wife goes out to eat and brings him back delicious food. What else could this be but love?
