Chapter 195: The Woman by His Side

Emily lost her balance and knocked onto Henry's chest.

Tsk, Young Master Henry, who loathed her approach so much just now, had actually pulled her into hisarms. Something

must have been wrong!

She had planned to trigger his disdain for her and in that case, she would be driven away and he wouldnot come to replace

her any longer.

But right at this moment, Emily vaguely felt that something had gone wrong and a gush of uneasinessand cold feeling

welled up in her heart.

Yeah, she had a cold feeling that she felt that all her blood was about to be frozen...

“Young Master Hunter, what a coincidence.” Henry slightly curled his lips into a gentle and gracefulsmile.

Emily was frozen at the place. Young Master Hunter!

There was only one ‘Young Master Hunter’ in the whole Bentson City, and only that man matched tosuch an address.

She turned her head stiffly and saw a slender figure that was standing not far away.

Coldness overwhelmed her at the moment and penetrated into her bones, which almost froze herwhole body, numbed her

arms and legs and deprived her ability to react.

But the woman by his side...

Emily shifted her gaze and glared at Henry, and then gently took back her hand.

Henry didn't stop her and took a step forward.

It shortened the distance between him and Emily, and Emily hastily stepped forward.

As Henry took another step forward, Emily had no other choice but to step forward accordingly towardsHunter's direction.

Otherwise, they would crash into each other.

But in the eyes of the others, it looked like Emily and Henry were walking towards Hunter together.

“Having lunch here?” Henry glanced at the woman by his side.

She was dignified and cool, which matched Hunter's temperament quite well. But out of no reason, hefelt it distasteful.

Henry asked languidly, “Together?”

“We just had the lunch.” Emily glared at him.

It must be a torture to have lunch with Hunter and Wendy.

“Tsk, didn't you say that you've not been full just now.” Henry looked down at her with a visible trace ofgentleness in his

eyes.

Yuck, it was really funny. Was it interesting to invite her to act such a show in front of Hunter?

Hunter wouldn't care about it.

Henry's hand landed on Emily's shoulder and Emily had an impulse to cast if off out of instinct. Butwhen she saw Wendy

leaning towards Hunter, she changed her mind and instantly took back her hand.

Since he could flirt with other woman, why couldn't she?

She had left WongRiver Pavilion for a whole week, yet during which Hunter was getting alone withWendy!

This really placed her, his nominal fiancée, into an awkward predicament.

“It's true that I'm not full, but I don't want to eat these light dishes.”

Emily looked up at Henry, pouted and made a coquettish complaint.

“You eat these types of dishes every day. Won't you feel greasy?”

“Oh?" This missy was still angry at his boss Hunter.

That made senses. After all, a beautiful girl was standing by Hunter's side. And it was natural for Emily,Hunter's fiancée, to

get angry, wasn't it?”

Henry raised his eyebrow and asked in a pampering tone, “What do you want to eat?”

Spicy hot pot!

Emily was immersed in the joy of having the spicy hot pot. It was so pungent and spicy and she felt itso palatable that

even her scalp was shivering.

Just now, she had scrammed down a few mouthfuls of those dishes for she originally planned to takethem away and eat

them with her friends later.

But she hadn't expected that Henry would forbid her to take the food away as he regarded it as ashame.

The spicy hot pot she was enjoying now had completely mobilized her appetite.

They were now in the biggest private room in SC Hot Pot and there were plates of vegetables andmeat on the large table,

such as mutton roll, beef soaked in milk, beef jerky, ox omasum, beef tripe, lamb, ox board muscle,blood curd, shrimp, hand-made balls, loaches, etc.

There were also various kinds of vegetables and piles of plates of ingredients conquered the table andeven the small

handcart beside.

Anyway, the one who will pay the bill was so rich that this was just a piece of cake for him, so Emily justordered as many

ingredients as she could.

She simply seized the opportunity to order those expensive meats that she was begrudging to order inusual times!

However, among the four persons present, only Emily was actually enjoying the hot pot. As for theother three people, they didn't even pick up their chopsticks.

Emily didn’t ask Hunter why he was with Wendy; instead, she put all her attention on Henry.

“Why didn't you guys pick up your chopsticks to enjoy it? Don't you need to have lunch?”

Henry peered at her and then picked up his chopsticks.

“Good. Come on, try the tender beef socked in milk. I promise it must be very delicious with a fresh andtender taste.”

She then picked up a piece of beef which had been soaked in milk for several seconds and put it intothe hot pot, and then

quickly took it out again after a few seconds.

Emily put the beef into Henry's bowl, “Try it, quickly.”

Henry picked up the beef and glanced at her with visible doubts in his eyes.

There was some chili oil on the beef... And it looked a bit unaesthetic. Was she really sure that this waseatable?

“It's eatable. Try it.” Emily put on an evil smile, “I haven't harmed you, right?”

Oh, as if she was quite familiar with him... But in fact, they just met for a few times.

Henry stared at the beef between his chopsticks and asked, “Is it spicy?”

His stomach couldn't bear the spiciness so he seldom ate spicy food.

“It’s a bit spicy. Come on, could it be that you can't even bear such a bit taste of spiciness? Are you aman?”

How could he bear it since she was questioning his identity as a man?

Henry didn't hesitate anymore and put the beef into his mouth.

Hmm... It tasted really good.

But at the moment he swallowed the beef, an amazing thing happened!

“Oh, it’s so spicy!” Henry's handsome face and even his eyes instantly became red.

“Are you crying?”

Seeing him gulping down water glass after glass, Emily couldn't help but distain him. Wasn't it a bitspicy?

Wasn't it too exaggerated that even his eyes were red?

The man sitting across explained in a flat tone, “He can’t eat spicy food.”

He couldn't eat spicy food?

Emily peered at Henry's flushed face and felt a bit anxious after hearing his continuous coughing.

She had done it deliberately.

In that, the hot pot was not that spicy. But she had played a trick when putting the beef in it andtherefore the beef was

covered with a heavy layer of chili oil.

And when dipping the beef in sauce, she chose the spiciest sauce.

Alas, this bad guy had annoyed her before, and this was just a trick to take her revenger on him.

But she hadn't expected that he would be so weak!

“Waiter, please pour him another glass of water.”

“Okay.”

Emily took the water from the waiter and then fed Henry the water why patting him on the back.

“Drink more water and you may feel better.”

Henry felt that his throat was burning and tight, as if it was grasped by something.

So when Emily handed him the glass of water, he had no time to care about any other thing and gulpedit down.

He used to be gentle and elegant, but he looked so messy.

His perfect, fair face flushed due to the spiciness and his forehead broke out in sweats which then felldown his face.

It was the first time that Emily had seen a person who was so unbearable to spiciness and broke out insweats all over.

“Well. It's all my fault. I won't play jokes on you any longer.

Emily was a bit regretful and guilty and gently patted him on his back with her small hand.

Seeing that Henry's situation had been lightened, she handed her the glass of water again, “Drink a bitmore. Just a bit and

don't drink too much in case that it will stuff your stomach.”

Henry took the glass and took two sips.

Emily smiled with satisfaction, “Great. Good boy.”

Henry glared at her as he was fuming, “Liar!”

Nevertheless, Emily picked up the other piece of meat and raised it to his mouth, “This one is a bitspicy, seriously. I’m not

lying to you this time.”
