7 Asking Him Out

"Ling Tian, do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?" due to how nervous she was, Su Lingxi said something different from her plan.

*Silence…

The entire area turned into a dead silence.

Ling Tian was stunned because he did not expect her to ask him out in front of everyone like that.

Like Ling Tian, the customers were also shocked.

Su Lingxi's voice was louder than usual when she asked him out so they could hear it clearly.

"Oh, another woman is asking him out."

"As expected of Ling Tian, he is sure popular."

"She is the tenth girl to ask him out this week." 

"What are you talking about? She is the nineteenth."

"Haha. Ling Tian, what is your answer?"

"Ling Tian, hurry up and answer it."

"That's right. Answer it immediately. Don't make her shy."

The old loyal customers laughed loudly because they were used to seeing it.

Su Lingxi felt shy when she realized what she had just done. She wanted to dig a hole and hide there forever because everyone was looking at her.

'I should have asked him out when we were alone.'

Not only did she make a mistake, she even asked a different question.

Ling Tian smiled softly before finally answering, "Sure."

There were two reasons why he did not reject her.

First, he did not want to embarrass her.

Many people were around them, so she would feel shy if he rejected her wish.

And lastly, going on a date with a beautiful lady was a good thing.

He believed no man would refuse if someone as pretty as Su Lingxi asked them out because going on a date with a beautiful woman could make them happy.

"Really?" Su Lingxi's expression turned happy.

"Yes." He responded, "But let's talk about this later. I need to help my sister-in-law first."

"Un. I will wait." She nodded happily.

After Ling Tian headed to the kitchen, an old man uttered. "Good for you, young lady. Normally, he always refuses."

"That's right." A blue-haired old man added. "This is the first time I've seen him agree like that. It seems like he also likes you."

Su Lingxi lowered her head.

'He likes me?'

A tiny smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

Time went by quickly and without realizing it, it was already 09:00 pm. 

At this moment, Ye Qianyu's restaurant was already closed.

Ling Tian was currently talking with Su Lingxi outside. 

Even though she waited several hours, she was not angry because she could talk to him and he agreed to go on a date with her tomorrow.

She did not even feel like she had waited long because her mind was filled with happiness earlier. 

"So, where should we go tomorrow?" he asked curiously.

"There is a fireworks festival tomorrow. How about we go watch it?" previously, she wanted to invite him to lunch, but she changed her mind.

She believed watching a fireworks festival was much more fun, so she changed her plan.

"Sure." He agreed instantly.

"Great! Tomorrow, I will pick you up at 04:00 pm." She said happily.

"Alright." He responded.

As the duo was talking happily, Ye Qianyu approached them.

"Is she your friend, Tian?" Ye Qianyu had never met Su Lingxi before, so she did not know who she was.

"Sister-in-law, she is lady Su. I met her yesterday." Ling Tian gave a brief explanation of his first meeting with Su Lingxi.

"I see." Ye Qianyu uttered.

After Ye Qianyu and Su Lingxi introduced themselves, they talked for several minutes. 

After that, Su Lingxi went home.

Ling Tian's House, His Bedroom.

Ling Tian's bedroom was simple. 

There was only a bed, wardrobe, full-body mirror, and a table for studying.

The bed was placed in the right corner with a wardrobe in front of it. The table was located on the left side of the bed with a full-body mirror next to it.

Even though Ye Qianyu's restaurant always had a lot of customers, Ling Tian and his sister-in-law were not in the category of rich people.

In China, family status was divided into three classes: lower-class, middle-class and upper-class.

Each class had three categories: low, mid and high.

For the lower-class family, it was like this.

Low lower-class family = net worth less than 100,000 Yuan.

Mid lower-class family = net worth 150,000 - 300,000 Yuan.

High lower-class family = net worth 350,000 - 500,000 Yuan.

The net worth of Ling Tian's family was 350,000 Yuan, so his family status was in the category of high lower-class family.

They were previously from a middle-class family, but after his parents and Ye Qianyu's parents passed away, their income was not as high as before.

Of course, Ling Tian and Ye Qianyu were fine with it because they were happy as long as they could eat and live together.

Ling Tian, who was lying on the bed, realized something again.

'In order to create a harem, I need to have two things.'

He finally realized that he needed good stamina and money if he wanted to create a harem because they needed money to live.

'The fastest way to get money is through a quest, but it only appears in a certain condition, so I can't depend on it to get rich.'

He touched his chin.

'It seems like I need to think about business.'

He then checked the shop, hoping there would be a good card that could help him in business.

Unfortunately, the goddess of luck was not on his side because there was no card that could help him in business.

'The reset time is at 00:00 am. I hope there will be a good card later.'

He did not use his points to speed up the cooldown because he only had a few points.

Shortly after that, his sister-in-law told him to watch a movie with her.

"Tian, I made crispy fried sweet potatoes. Let's eat together." she uttered.

Ling Tian sat next to her and watched the movie. "Is it a comedy movie?"

"Yes." She responded as she consumed the crispy fried sweet potatoes.

The crispy fried sweet potatoes looked delicious, so he ate it too.

'It's delicious.'

He liked it, so he consumed it again.

When Ye Qianyu saw him eating the crispy fried sweet potatoes, she opened her little mouth and uttered, "Tian, feed me."

"Hmm? Feed you?" he was startled by her words.

"My hands hurt, so I can't eat by myself." She lied to him.

He was at a loss for words.

'Sister-in-law, you need a better lie.'

He saw her eating the crispy fried sweet potatoes by herself just now, so he knew she was lying.

"Tian, hurry up and feed me." she kept opening her mouth, hoping he would feed her immediately.

Ling Tian smiled softly before finally feeding her the crispy fried sweet potatoes. "What a spoiled sister-in-law!"

"Hehe." she was not angry with his words; instead, she giggled happily. 

And like that, Ling Tian watched a comedy movie while feeding his spoiled sister-in-law the crispy fried sweet potatoes.
