Chapter 164: Would You Mind Using the Honeytrap of a Handsome Man?

Shen Chutang wiggled her toes, which were round and adorable, all freshly painted with nail polish in a color she liked. Feeling quite pleased, she glanced up and smiled at Lu Beiqin. “You’re back! Look, my new nail polish—do you like it?”

Lu Beiqin couldn’t tell what was so special about the polish, but on Shen Chutang’s feet, the color looked exceptionally pleasing.

“Looks good.”

“I think so too!” Shen Chutang smiled. “I’ve already prepared everything for our stall today. You rest for a bit first. After dinner, we’ll head out to set up. I’ve decided to sell at the intersection of Qianyu Road and Yingcai Road. There’s a night market street there that’s officially approved. I’ve reserved a stall, so this time it’s definitely going to work!”

Lu Beiqin nodded. “Alright.”

Suddenly, Shen Chutang smacked her forehead. “Oh no, I forgot to cook dinner! Wait a moment, I’ll go right away!”

But the thought of her freshly painted nails made her hesitate.

Lu Beiqin stood up. “Let me handle it. You’ve been busy all day and should rest.”

Lu Beiqin was quite quick, cooking the rice and stir-frying two dishes. Following Shen Chutang’s instructions, he took some extra cold dishes and added a secret sauce. The color and aroma were quite appealing.

After dinner, Lu Beiqin loaded everything into the car, and they drove toward Qianyu Road.

It was seven in the evening, and the streets were already bustling. As soon as Lu Beiqin stepped out, he drew quite a few glances.

Shen Chutang laughed. “I was worried there’d be no business, but it looks like we don’t have to worry. Handsome, would you mind using a little charm?”

Lu Beiqin lowered his eyes, saying nothing.

Shen Chutang stuck out her tongue playfully. “Just kidding.”

To her surprise, Lu Beiqin unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, revealing glimpses of his well-toned upper body. Dressed entirely in black—a black shirt and black trousers—he was tall and had the figure of a model.

With his height and looks, standing there was like a living billboard, radiating an almost luminous presence.

Sure enough, the “Couple’s Food Stall” was set up and open for business immediately.

Shen Chutang had done her market research and proudly told Lu Beiqin, “We’re definitely going to make a fortune this time!”

Lu Beiqin nodded, seeing how excited she was.

Perhaps the charm tactic was effective, as customers kept coming to buy the cold dishes, and Shen Chutang soon found herself sweating profusely.

Just as she was about to wipe her forehead, Lu Beiqin took a tissue and gently dabbed the sweat off for her.

“Thank you.”

He pulled her behind him. “You go rest. I’ll handle it.”

Men usually spoke little, but Shen Chutang knew this was his way of caring.

She sat down on a chair behind him while Lu Beiqin took charge of serving customers. Throughout the evening, he barely spoke, operating like a robot—just weighing the food and announcing the price.

Many girls, even after buying, kept looking back repeatedly, making Shen Chutang laugh.

Lu Beiqin looked at her with a hint of confusion. “?”

“Nothing, you just…”

Before she could finish, a familiar voice came from ahead. “Hey, Shen Chutang, were you expelled from school? Why are you selling at a stall now?”

Shen Chutang looked up and saw Shen Duoduo walking alongside a girl, both looking at her with contempt.

Shen Duoduo crossed her arms, eyes full of mockery. “What are you even selling? Do you think this stuff can make money? Shen Chutang, you live in a big villa, yet you’re out here selling at a stall? Oh, I remember now, you only got that villa because you clung to the Shi family’s thigh. So now the Shi family has kicked you out, and you have no choice but to do these dirty, exhausting jobs? How embarrassing!”

Standing next to Shen Duoduo was a woman named Du Xiaoxing. Hearing Shen Duoduo’s words, her gaze also turned disdainful.

In their eyes, running a night market stall was something only poor people did to earn hard-earned money. They themselves wouldn’t even eat such “trash food.”

“Duoduo, who are they? Do you know them?”

Shen Duoduo sneered. “That’s the ungrateful wolf my uncle’s family raised. She usually relies on seducing men to get ahead. I guess the men she seduced now find her ugly and have rejected her, and even lost her job at school.”

Shen Chutang stood up. “Who’s making all that noise here? Turns out you accidentally unleashed a dog. I’m trying to do business. If you’re not buying, please leave, or I’ll have to ask you to go.”

Shen Duoduo didn’t care about Shen Chutang’s words at all. A wild girl who’d lost her backing was no threat to her.

She looked at Lu Beiqin beside Shen Chutang. She had once liked him, but he never returned her feelings, which left her with some resentment.

Today, Shen Duoduo intended to take Lu Beiqin away right in front of Shen Chutang and make her feel the humiliation she had suffered before.

Once she had Lu Beiqin under her control, she planned to train him to be her obedient dog and teach him a lesson.

“Shen Chutang’s in this state, and you’re still struggling with her?” Shen Duoduo looked at Lu Beiqin, raising an eyebrow. “Twenty thousand a month—come with me.”
