Chapter 784: Xiao An, Ajin End Their Cold War
An Mingji raised an eyebrow: "Would Master Zou be willing to give up a whole forest for a single tree?"
"Do you even know how to talk? Back then, it was just youthful ignorance, but now it’s different. Lingling is a great girl, very pure and very cute. It wasn’t until I met her that I realized there could be such a wonderful girl in the world. You have no idea how adorable Lingling is—"
Once Zou Yanpeng started talking about his girlfriend, he couldn’t stop, going on and on about how amazing she was, just shy of saying she was a fairy from the heavens.
Qiao Wenming and Jin Bai were already used to this, and they cast a sympathetic and amused glance at An Mingji, whose mouth had a slight twitch.
Back in the day, they had gone through the same thing, and now it was finally someone else’s turn to withstand Zou Yanpeng’s love-filled bombardment.
They were truly fed up with this emotional overload!
"Xiao Bai! You were hard to find!"
Just as Zou Yanpeng was still bragging about his girlfriend, a burly man approached with a few others in tow.
The man leading them was tall and burly, shirtless, exposing tattoos that snaked up his arms and back to his shoulders. Just from a glance, one could tell he was trouble.
The people following him had either dyed yellow or red hair, and their attire was lazy and careless.
It was clear these were not well-behaved people.
Other customers seated around, upon seeing this group, quickly left if they recognized them and were timid.
Even the shop owner standing at the entrance looked uneasy.
Zou Yanpeng and Qiao Wenming frowned slightly, unhappy with being so rudely interrupted.
Meanwhile, An Mingji continued to eat his grilled skewers gracefully, unfazed by the arrival of strangers.
To be honest, the skewers at this shop were quite good, the environment clean and hygienic, the grilling well-done, and even the cold dishes were nicely mixed. More importantly, the owner was a decent person.
He was even in such a good mood that he thought, next time he had the chance, he must bring Ajin here to try it out.
Since their brief cold war that one day, they had returned to their usual closeness.
But he no longer dared to overstep his boundaries to test the other.
This experience had been enough to terrify him.
He decided that from now on, in matters involving Ajin, he couldn’t take any gambles.
Without complete certainty, he wouldn’t do anything excessive.
Jin Bai couldn’t help but shudder violently upon hearing the voice behind him, clearly terrified.
Fear spread through his eyes, and his grip on the table edge tightened.
The leading man approached Jin Bai and kicked his chair out from under him.
"Bang—crack!"
The chair was kicked away, and Jin Bai landed on the ground with a thud.
Zou Yanpeng, with his fiery temper, immediately stood up upon seeing his friend bullied, and confronted the man who had acted: "Can’t you talk without resorting to violence? What do you want?"
Qiao Wenming also moved to Jin Bai’s side, helping him up from the ground as he trembled.
An Mingji sat on his stool, slowly raising his eyes.
He wasn’t watching the commotion in front of him, but rather gazing at the corner across from the food stall.
Allen and his group were stationed there, as he had known from the start.
Although few knew about his return to the country, he couldn’t shake off those watching him for potential gains. Allen and the others, concerned for his safety, maintained a protective distance.
They noticed the situation unfolding and immediately wanted to rush over.
An Mingji lifted his hand slightly, signaling them to stay put.
