Chapter 40 Phone Stolen

Next, Chen Xuewen led Li Eryong and the other two to a well-known restaurant in the urban area.

The four of them found a private room, sat down, and ordered a spread of dishes.

Li Tiezhu kept fiddling with his phone and only raised his head when it was time to order. "Do you have braised pork knuckle?"

Li Eryong gave him an exasperated look. "I already ordered it for you!"

"I also ordered three pounds of beef for you. Tonight, you'll eat your fill!"

Only then did Li Tiezhu nod in satisfaction and lower his head again to play with his phone.

After finishing the order, Chen Xuewen thought for a moment and looked at Li Eryong. "Eryong, give Wu Lihong a call."

"The disco hasn't started yet at this hour. Tell her to come over and eat with us!"

Li Eryong immediately nodded. "I was just about to suggest that."

"Sister Hong cooks for us every single day, which is so much work. We really ought to treat her!"

Lai Hou glanced at the phone box beside Chen Xuewen. "Do you even need to think about that? Brother Wen already thought of it."

"Didn't you see Brother Wen even bought the phone?"

Only then did Li Eryong react. "Crap, Wenzi, is this phone for Wu Lihong?"

"You haven't fallen for her, have you?"

Chen Xuewen glanced at her. "What do you mean fallen for her?"

"I bought this phone simply to thank her for helping me out, nothing more."

Li Eryong leaned in close to Chen Xuewen. "Wenzi, actually, Wu Lihong is a pretty good girl."

"She treats you really well, so... you're not looking down on her, are you?"

Chen Xuewen glared at him. "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"I don't have any romantic feelings for her, so the question of looking down on her doesn't even arise."

At this, Chen Xuewen sighed. "After going through everything I've been through, even my parents are gone."

"From now on, I will never trust a woman again, and I certainly won't ever fancy any woman!"

Seeing the gloomy expression on Chen Xuewen's face, Li Eryong could only sigh, take out his phone, and call Wu Lihong.

Before long, Wu Lihong, dressed in sexy attire, hurried over excitedly.

"How did you guys know I hadn't eaten yet?"

"I was just about to have instant noodles with my girlfriends when your call came. I guess I'm in for a treat tonight!" Wu Lihong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Eryong instantly perked up. "With your girlfriends?"

"Oh, why didn't you bring your girlfriends along too?"

Wu Lihong rolled her eyes at him. "Alright, stop flirting!"

"Just look at yourself, limping around, and you still have the mind to think about women?"

"You'd better focus on healing your injuries first!"

Li Eryong immediately protested, unconvinced. "What's wrong? I only broke a hand and a leg, not my third leg. Why can't I think about women?"

Lai Hou laughed out loud. "Come on, you've got a broken hand and a broken leg, how are you even going to manage?"

"Are you planning to hop around while doing it?"

Li Eryong was left speechless, while Wu Lihong covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Chen Xuewen took out the phone and handed it to Wu Lihong. "This is for you."

Wu Lihong looked startled. "What is this?"

Chen Xuewen said, "We went to a phone shop earlier and each bought a phone."

"I saw this model and thought it suited you, so I picked it up along the way."

"See if you like the color!"

Wu Lihong froze. She looked at the phone box in Chen Xuewen's hand, a glimmer of tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Eryong immediately chimed in, "What are you standing there frozen for?"

"This was specially chosen for you by Brother Wen, much prettier than ours."

"Take it!"

Only then did Wu Lihong snap out of her daze. She quickly reached out and took the phone box, her eyes filled with deep affection and cherish.

Chen Xuewen gave Li Eryong an exasperated look. "I just bought it while I was at it, didn't deliberately pick it."

"It's also to thank you for your help during this period."
