TL note 2: Special thanks to Ashish(TL of WDDG) for helping me finish up the last 1/20 of this chapter
“Stop being so petty, it’s not like you’re paying.” Shen Ming said while using the warm pre-meal towels[11] to wipe his hands.
“I’m worried for you. You shouldn’t have much money, right?” Xiao Yi said while carrying a glass of water.
“After this meal, I will still have just about 20¢ left.” Shen Ming said. His indifferent tone made Xiao Yi almost choke.
“You have problems! You have no money, and you still want to act generous. I’m not eating anymore. Let’s go home.” Xiao Yi got up to leave.
“Don’t mess around[12]. Have you noticed the man 45° behind me? The one wearing gold rimmed glasses, bright yellow clothes, and checkered pants.” When Shen Ming entered the restaurant, he had inadvertently glanced around and had already engraved the attires as well as the appearances of everyone there into his mind. This was a talent he had honed for the sake of killing people.
“What is it?” Xiao Yi looked over. That man unexpectedly raised the wine glass in his hand and motioned at her. Such a frivolous action, when done by that middle-aged man, appeared exceptionally refined.
“He is Dream Jade’s[13] agent, Wu Neng![14] In the entertainment industry[15], he has been a first class scout for 20 years and has made many celebrities red[16]. 3 years ago, he accepted a job as Dream Jade’s agent. From then on, he has never made a comeback[17]. What we‘re going to do now is “entrapment[18]”, and have him take the bait.” Shen Ming quietly said.
“How do we fish?” As soon as Xiao Yi said that, she immediately understood. “Motherfucker[19], you’re using me as the bait aren’t you?”
“Wu Neng isn't the average small fish. Plenty of female celebrities are anxious to use those unspoken rules[20] on him, but very few are able to make it into his eyes.” Shen Ming said while using a stainless steel soup spoon to look at his prey. “He seems to like you a lot, there could be some developments between the two of you.”
“If you dare to let me sleep with him, you are going to die.” Xiao Yi‘s eyes glinted with a fierce light as she spoke.
“Don’t worry, if you sleep with someone it’ll be me, this kind of good thing, how can I let him have it? It’s just that I want to fish myself a meal. “Carelessly” talk about Dream Jade getting threatened, then “carelessly” state that I am a bodyguard. Such a perfect plan!” Shen Ming laughed, causing Xiao Yi to get goosebumps and a sense of foreboding.
The sumptuous breakfast dishes arrived one after the other. At this moment, the restaurant’s manager personally sent over a bottle of imported red wine.
“We didn’t order this, did we?” Xiao Yi wondered.
“Respected young lady and sir, this red wine is a gift by Mr. Wu over there. Please, have a taste.” The manager, who was exactly like a British waiter, opened the bottle of red wine. Then, he poured half a glass for Shen Ming and Xiao Yi.
Right at this moment, Shen Ming suddenly kicked Xiao Yi’s leg under the table. Only the entire bowl of soup in front of Xiao Yi spill onto Wu Neng’s crotch area with “hua la” could be seen. It was so hot that his face became red[30].
“You, look at you! So careless. Quickly wipe!” Shen Ming nervously handed Xiao Yi a pile of tissue paper.
“Sorry! Sorry!” Swallowing her grievance, Xiao Yi could only lower her head and wipe the spilt soup for Wu Neng. Suddenly the “kacha” sound of someone taking a picture could be heard. Both Wu Neng and Xiao Yi immediately noticed that something was wrong, and looked at Shen Ming, who was opposite them and raising his phone.
“Famous agent not moral in the least[31], getting a blowjob from a beautiful woman in public place. Do you think that this title can get me a job as a bodyguard?”
From the photo, one could see, Wu Neng enjoyably sitting there. And on the table, it just so happened that one could see Xiao Yi’s back hair. This coincidentally verified Shen Ming’s headline.
“People who frame me, normally don’t have a good end.” A cold light flashed in Wu Neng’s eyes.
“Doesn’t matter, I’m exactly this sort of destined to not have “a good end” type of man.” Shen Ming straight-up laughed like a devil.

[13] While we’re at it, Dream Jade is probably her stage name rather than her actual name. 梦(meng) means dream 琪(qi) means fine jade(the xianxia kind) but can also refer to beautiful women apparently(google images/ 百度图片 it you won’t get anything remotely resembling jade) p.s. Get ready for r-18 stuff if you use 百度图片
