After Being Cheating novel Chapter 278

The waiter came back with the fish balls and salted tofu, and Janet Shao asked for two pairs of chopsticks. She removed the packaging off one of them, and then handed the other to Daniel Si.

Daniel took them and put them on the table, and it seemed that he didn't want to eat anything.

Janet picked up a fish ball, popped it into her mouth, and said, "Wow, it tastes really good! You should try it."

She had come here not only for the cold noodles, but also for the house's secret recipe fish balls. They were very delicious!

But he simply shook his head in disgust, because the sanitary conditions of the place had affected his appetite.

He remembered when they were in the Dongcui Mountain, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have...

Then, a white ball was lifted near his mouth, and almost by reflex, he opened his mouth and ate it.

Janet narrowed her eyes, and expectantly looked at him. "What do you think?" she asked.

He had intended to shake his head, but when he saw the expectant look on her face, he gently nodded, and with reluctance said, "Yeah, it's not that bad."

All that she needed was just a nod of approval.

Soon, the shop was full, and someone came over to them to ask if they minded sharing the table with them.

They were sitting at a table for four, and the wall seats were free.

Janet raised her head and saw two good-looking girls, and she agreed for Daniel. "No, please, you can take them."

Daniel gave her a disapproving look while she was enjoying her food with relish, but it didn't matter, because as long as she was happy, he could do anything for her.

Their noodles were then served. As she stirred them with her chopsticks, she said, "If you don't eat, you'll be wasting my money!"

The two girls beside them secretly began to take pictures of them, but mostly of Daniel, with their phones.

Daniel noticed and gave them a sharp glance, and they immediately stopped.

He said to Janet, "Money's no problem; it can be earned again!"

Daniel's noble temperament obviously didn't fit in the little shop, and Janet suddenly felt sorry for taking him there.

'Am I going too far by forcing him?' she thought. 'Oh, wait a sec!' As she pushed the bowl of noodles towards him, she asked, "Have you ever served in the army?"

But he still had no appetite for the noodles.

"Yes, for three years, " he answered.

She took a sip of milk tea and then began stirring her own noodles. She asked, "In your army days, did you ever go out on special missions?"

"Yes, " he briefly answered. He was an excellent soldier, and all the leaders had appreciated him and had asked him to carry out a variety of different tasks; he had done all of them very well.

"Have you ever been sent to a village or a mountain when you were on duty? Bill Han said that he had been to Africa for a mission."

"Yes, I did."

"And what did you eat then?" That was the point of her whole question. She didn't believe that he hadn't eaten anything when he was out of the camp on missions.

But to her disappointment, he said, "No, I always took some dry food with me." In his records, he had been eating nothing but dry food and clean drinking water for seven consecutive days.

He wasn't finding any fault with the food, and it wasn't his fault. He was a man of noble origins, and had been brought up in an environment filled only with luxury and wealth.

He would have rather endured a long hunger than to condescend to eating dirty food.

Janet sighed. With a last effort, she said, "I once had a meal here with Caspar Qiao before. He complained nothing about the food here, and he ate a lot."

Obviously, she wasn't telling the truth.

Daniel knew that Caspar was as picky about his food as he was. In truth, Caspar also thought that the food here was disgusting.
