"Big Wing..." Angela shook away his hand, put on a dark look on her face, and said, "You don't love me at all!"
Arvin was stumped by her statement. Whether he loved her or not, didn't she know it already?
"If you love me, then why didn't you play with me in the sea? If you love me, then why won't you eat at snack stands with me? If you love me, then why won't you listen to my words? It means that you don't love me at all!" Angela said it in one breath. She was pissed because Arvin was putting his obsession with cleanliness first!
Arvin felt baffled and rubbed beneath his brows. This woman had so many unreasonable arguments!
Seeing his confused look, Angela continued to pour out her grievances, "Now that we are out on a holiday, I finally realized how incompatible our lifestyles are. We were living a simple life in J City, so we could live in harmony, without any external factors. But now..."
"Angela!"
"Yes..."
"You just want me to eat those things in snack stands with you, right?" Did she have to beat around the bush to blame him? If he didn't love her, he wouldn't even be here with her!
He had never complained against her when she didn't consider his feelings, but now, she wouldn't stop blaming him... Arvin sighed. He really had a love-hate relationship with her!
"Yes! That's right!"
...
They kept silent for a couple of minutes. Then, looking at the woman's aggrieved look in her eyes, Arvin conceded again.
In the end, cheerfully, Angela succeeded in taking Arvin to have barbecue at a street-side snack stand.
A menu was placed in front of them. Angela gave the menu to Arvin, who was wearing a disgusted look. She said in a generous way, "This is my treat. Order any dish you like!"
"Please just order anything you want," said Arvin indifferently. He had no appetite for them.
Knowing his displeasure, Angela ordered the dishes herself.
But during dinner, unexpectedly, Arvin took his chopsticks, moved the plate of oysters in front of him...
Confused, Angela looked at the man who was eating oysters in an elegant manner and asked, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't eat any food here?"
Arvin put another oyster on his plate and answered, "There are some food that I do eat."
Then, under Angela's gaze, Arvin ate... ten oysters in total. Angela swallowed a slice of fish and asked him, "It looks like it isn't your first time eating oysters. Since you have never had a girlfriend, when you ate so many oysters before, weren't you afraid of nose bleeding?"
Arvin hadn't eaten this much oysters in the past. He didn't answer her question but said, "I have a meeting tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, I can finish before noon." If it didn't go well, he might have to work until afternoon.
"So what?" asked Angela. She wondered what was the connection between his meeting and her question.
Arvin said, "I don't want you to feel bored."
Angela was even more confused and asked, "So...?" She still couldn't understand what he meant.
"So... I'd better make you unable to get out of the bed tomorrow, so that you can sleep in the hotel in the daytime until I finish my work, and then we can go out together."
When she heard his words, Angela almost was choked by the coconut juice she just drank and said, "Mr. Gu, have you no shame? Do the women in your fan club know that you're like this?"
"You think I am shameless?" He shelled a crab and put it on her plate.
Angela repeatedly nodded her head and said, "Yes, very shameless!"
Arvin cast her a glance, which was very... evil and sly.
Aware of his gaze, Angela hastily took the crab he had shelled and put it in front of his mouth, urging, "Eat it!"
He refused.
"You must eat it!" she insisted.
