Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 513: Delicious Cake

To board the Doris, Xu Xiangbei drove all the way from Earth Sea to Jiangcheng, taking several hours from morning to afternoon, without even having lunch. After getting on the ship, he only realized how hungry he was when he saw the banquet hall filled with sumptuous food.

Before dinner, it was time to eat the birthday cake. The cake, taller than a person, needed to be cut into small pieces, put on a plate, and distributed to every guest, which was a meticulous job.

The person cutting the cake was a sweet-smiling waitress. She tried her best to be careful and preserve the flower shapes on the cake, so the cake on the guests’ plates would not only taste good but also maintain the best presentation.

Xu Xiangbei came over with a cheeky grin and a plate, "Beauty, could you give me a big piece?"

The waitress had no idea Xu Xiangbei was there to freeload, thinking he was just a guest at the party. She smiled while cutting a piece big enough for three people and placed it on his plate.

"Is this big enough?"

Xu Xiangbei grinned cheekily, "It’s enough, you’re so nice."

Xu Xiangbei, starving, didn’t bother using a knife and fork. He ate with his hands, thoroughly enjoying himself, getting white cream all over his nose and face.

He ate while praising non-stop, "Delicious, I’m really starving. I didn’t have lunch."

Standing next to Xu Xiangbei was a middle-aged man in a crisp suit, none other than Lu Hong.

Watching Xu Xiangbei eat cake, Lu Hong frowned slightly, a look of disdain on his face, covering his mouth with a clean handkerchief. He thought Xu Xiangbei’s eating manner was appalling, wondering who invited such a person onto the cruise, truly disgracing the Lu Family.

Although Lu Hong had sent several groups to kill Xu Xiangbei, he had only seen photos of Xu Xiangbei and had never met him in person.

With three to four hundred guests, no matter how good his memory was, he couldn’t remember them all. He found Xu Xiangbei somewhat familiar but never guessed that the young man eating messily in front of him was the very Xu Xiangbei he was plotting to eliminate.

Lu Hong glared contemptuously at Xu Xiangbei, picked up a small piece of cake with his plate, and walked away. Xu Xiangbei gobbled up the three-person-sized cake and cheekily went back to ask for another three portions.

Seeing cream on Xu Xiangbei’s face, the kind-hearted waitress handed him a napkin, pointed at the corner of his mouth, and smiled to remind him, "Sir, your face is covered with cream, you should wipe it off."

Feeling the waitress’s warm service, Xu Xiangbei smiled and said, "Thank you."

Just as he was about to chat a bit more, he saw a beautiful woman approaching, which nearly made him spit out the cake in his mouth out of shock.

The beauty was graceful and charming, wearing a diamond-encrusted evening gown, her whole body radiating with brilliance, and it was none other than Lu Yao.

Before finding Lu Jingyun, he didn’t want Lu Yao to discover him, so Xu Xiangbei quickly turned his back, hiding behind another guest.

The waitress carefully distributed the cake to the guests. No matter how careful, there would still be mistakes.

Lu Yao, a bit tipsy, didn’t hold the plate steady. As the smiling waitress placed the cake on her plate, Lu Yao’s hand slipped, and the cake fell right onto her pair of crystal-studded, shiny high heels.

Since losing the role of the female lead in "Immortal Spirit Chronicles," Lu Yao hadn’t been in a good mood, and even the smallest thing would cause her to lose control.

The cream cake landing on her high heels, worth tens of thousands, made her furious, blaming everything on the waitress.

She raised her hand, viciously aiming to slap the waitress in the face, "Idiot, are you looking for death?"

Just as the waitress, frightened and closing her eyes, prepared to take the hit, Xu Xiangbei, quick-handed, grabbed Lu Yao’s wrist. He didn’t want to see the waitress get hit and had no choice but to reveal himself.

Lu Yao never expected Xu Xiangbei to appear at her birthday party.

When she realized it was Xu Xiangbei grabbing her hand, she screamed shrilly, as if seeing a ghost, a scream so piercing that it almost blew the roof off.

While screaming, she shouted Xu Xiangbei’s name heart-wrenchingly: "Xu Xiangbei, Xu Xiangbei!"

To everyone, it sounded no different from yelling, "Ghost, ghost!"

Xu Xiangbei, his eardrums aching from her scream, sighed, "Miss Lu, don’t get so worked up. I’m not going to hurt you. Can you calm down?"

His heartfelt advice took no effect; Lu Yao screamed even louder.

Xu Xiangbei’s face darkened, and he glared, suddenly shouting, "If you scream again, I’ll throw you into the sea."

The screaming stopped abruptly, and Lu Yao, trembling all over and crying, didn’t dare to move.

Xu Xiangbei smiled bitterly, "I’m not a ghost. Am I that terrifying? Just calm down, and everything will be fine."

Suddenly, a powerful surge of energy came rushing over with a roar, "Scoundrel, let go of Miss Lu Yao. It’s not enough that you bullied her, you even chased her onto the ship. Today is your end."

Forced by this overwhelming Inner Strength, Xu Xiangbei had to release Lu Yao and quickly dodge. The large cream cake beside him was struck and smashed, turning into mush.

Xu Xiangbei still wanted another piece of cake. Seeing it destroyed, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret, lamenting, "What a waste, there was still more than half left."

Lu Yao’s screams had startled everyone, and the guests, who had been mingling around, flooded into the banquet hall like a tide.

Ah Rong, mingling among the crowd looking for Lu Jingyun, had already reached the second deck. Up there, it was full of bikini-clad beauties holding red wine. Hearing the terrifying screams from downstairs, she rushed over, silently blaming Xu Xiangbei. What a fool, how could he get discovered so early?

Shen Congru and Lei Jiade were drinking, and upon hearing Lu Yao scream Xu Xiangbei’s name in the banquet hall, a sudden realization struck Shen Congru. He felt that the worker in uniform who had passed by him was Xu Xiangbei.

He and Lei Jiade quickly headed for the banquet hall. Knowing that the issue between Xu Xiangbei and Lu Yao implicated Lu Jingyun, Shen Congru secretly worried about Xu Xiangbei.

Huang Qinghai and Qiao Mountain were also discussing Xu Xiangbei’s situation, with a hint of schadenfreude in their smiles. Huang Qinghai said helplessly, "Xu Xiangbei has crossed Lu Jingyun this time, and there’s nothing good coming out of it for him, and it’s also implicating me into getting blamed by Lu Jingyun."

Qiao Mountain slyly smiled, "Xu Xiangbei messed with Lu Yao, who is Lu Jingyun’s darling. Lu Jingyun definitely won’t let him off. Just wait and see the show reveal itself."

They were exhilarated upon hearing Lu Yao’s screams. Huang Qinghai laughed aloud, "Xu Xiangbei is on the ship too? How did the kid get on?"

Qiao Mountain threw his wine glass into the sea and ran towards the banquet hall, gloating, "The show is about to start. Let’s go watch, get there late, and there’ll be no seats."
