Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1261

Zuko's face was as dark as the inked squid in the owner's aquarium. The owner's smile changed from mischievous to forced, then to a grimace. He then carried the plate of oysters to other customers.

Zuko pursed his lips in exasperation. The oysters were freshly caught that morning, large, meaty, and perfectly grilled—undoubtedly delicious. But what would he do after eating them? His libido would be boosted, yet he would have no outlet to release it.

He turned to look at Lina, who was eating a small scallop. She chuckled softly when the delicate tip of her nose lightly touched the shell. The sparkling sea reflected her profile, and her eyes were filled with all the beauty in the world.

Zuko's heart raced a little as he licked his dry lips. He barely suppressed certain thoughts. He sat back beside her, but the fish didn't taste as good as before

"What were you doing just now?" Lina said with a smile, "So many delicious dishes were served. I'll finish them all if you don't start eating!"

"Oh, it's nothing." He looked at her and said, "Don't just focus on eating. Have some drinks, too."

Lina resisted a bit, resting her chin on both hands. "Don't mention drinks to me now. I have a trauma about it!"

"Silly girl." Zuko ruffled her hair, smiling. "Don't worry. I've already asked for it to be investigated. The results will be out soon."

"Are you so sure?" Lina asked.

"I found an expert in this field!"

Zuko peeled a blanched shrimp and put it on her plate.

Lina suddenly thought of someone after seeing how confident Zuko looked. "You're talking about Fred, aren't you?"

Zuko froze amidst peeling another shrimp and looked at Lina with a somewhat complicated expression.

He wondered how she had figured it out so suddenly. There was no mystery left for her now.

"Yes, I should have thought of him!" Lina's eyes lit up. "He has several beverage formulas from the Grists and is indeed an expert in this field! Moreover, regular people wouldn't be able to do something like spiking beverages, so it must be someone from the industry!"

Lina hugged Zuko happily and gently kissed his head.

"Is this... a reward?" Zuko asked.

"What else?" Lina asked back.

"This little reward isn't enough," he said softly.

Lina smiled. "Then what kind of reward do you want?"

'The kind like after one has oysters, of course…' Zuko coughed lightly and smiled without saying a word.

At that moment, the sound of a car drew near.

A large truck was parked outside the restaurant, and a thin young girl started carrying boxes of seafood out of it. The boxes looked heavy, but the girl seemed to be managing.

Lina jolted and carefully looked over. The girl wore a baseball cap, and the pointed chin under the brim seemed familiar.

"It's her?" Lina was a little surprised.
