My Beautiful CEO.

"what!"

The horrific screams drew the attention of everyone around, and Li Cheng's hand reached for the bald man's collarbone.

At this moment, the bald man turned pale with fright and suddenly knelt down, begging for mercy: "Spare me, brother! I know I was wrong!"

"Now you know to call me big brother? Where did your arrogant attitude go?"

"Brother, spare me! I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please have mercy and let me go."

"Hey!" the woman who had kindly reminded them earlier called out, and she seemed to be a tough character as well.

She was heavily made up, and although her face still looked childish, she was quite shrewd. She picked up a wine bottle from the table and shouted, "Kid, let go right now, or I'll hurt you!"

This woman is truly ungrateful. All her brothers have been taken down by Li Cheng, yet she still dares to shout.

"Don't come, don't come!" the bald man kindly warned.

Baldy knew very well that if so many of his brothers couldn't do anything to Li Cheng, how could a mere woman possibly take him down?

However, because the woman had reminded him earlier, Li Cheng was hesitant, so he decided to give the girl face and let the bald man go.

But who could have predicted that Zhang Qing would flip the table, rush to the girl's side, and kick her hard in the stomach?

The girl was almost kicked flying.

Zhang Qing then grabbed the girl's hair and slapped her repeatedly, yelling, "You're so young and you're already involved in crime, causing trouble here! I'm teaching you a lesson on behalf of your parents, you stupid girl!"

The girl was beaten so badly that she couldn't fight back at all and kept screaming.

Li Cheng pulled Zhang Qing back.

"Forget it, she's too young, let's not hit her."

The bald man, however, looked at the girl with a sincere expression, indicating that he did have feelings for her.

Li Cheng pulled Zhang Qing back, but Zhang Qing used the force of Li Cheng pulling her from behind to kick out and punch the bald man again.

"Damn it, weren't you so arrogant? Trying to flirt with girls? Then come on, do it!"

After being kicked, the bald man crawled towards the girl and hugged her in his arms.

The two young female music students carrying guitars had already turned and run away in fright.

The bald man also tried to run away, but as soon as he took off, Zhang Qing shouted, "You son of a bitch, trying to dine and dash, huh? Pay the bill!"

Upon hearing this, the boss felt rather embarrassed and said to the bald man, "Never mind, I'll treat you to this meal. You can go now."

The bald man ignored the shopkeeper, took out several hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and put them on the table, then put his arm around the girl and slunk away.

The thug who had fallen to the ground scrambled to his feet and followed the bald man.

After all the thugs left, the diners in the vicinity began to express their opinions.

"These thugs deserve a beating!"

"Finally, we've met a tough guy who can take care of these people."

"That young man didn't look very old, but he was really ruthless!"

“It’s surprising that young people these days have some real skills. I think the way he deflected the attack was very similar to the Tai Chi style.”

The boss walked over with a forced smile and said, "Gentlemen, I suggest you leave as soon as possible for your safety. Baldy is a notorious thug in this area, with many followers. He might come back for revenge anytime soon."

Zhang Qing said indifferently, "It's okay, let's hurry up and bring out the food we ordered. We'll eat slowly and wait for them to come and cause us trouble."

“Yes, otherwise they would have definitely come after you if they hadn’t found me,” Li Cheng chimed in.

"Thank you, but there are only two of you. I'm afraid you're no match for them."

"You still doubt our abilities? Serve the food! We'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

A customer nearby was still speculating: "Could these two be plainclothes police officers? Here to teach these thugs a lesson?"

"Yeah, you're right. I'd like to see what happens. I might even become famous by taking a picture and posting it online."

Li Cheng heard everything clearly, but he couldn't help but laugh at these remarks.

The boss, having heard rumors, began to believe them, so he asked the waiter to serve the food and clean up the table from before.

When the food was served, Zhang Qing pinched Li Cheng's thigh, and Li Cheng's face contorted in pain.

"You silly boy, how could you protect other women in front of me?"

"Didn't you ask me to help?"

"I wasn't talking about those two guys with guitars, I was talking about the bald guy's girlfriend! You little punk, do you have a thing for her?"

Li Cheng was somewhat at a loss, not expecting Zhang Qing to be so possessive.

"Hey, you're overthinking it. In my world, you're the most beautiful woman. When you're by my side, all other women just look ugly to me."

"Hmph, you're so glib. I'll have to teach you a lesson when we get back."

Although these words were harsh, Zhang Qing's words revealed her true feelings, and it seems that she quite enjoyed hearing Li Cheng say them.

The dishes arrived quickly: grilled fish, chives, fried eggs, and grilled butter.

This restaurant is so popular, and the dishes are indeed well-deserved. The grilled fish has a very rich flavor, not only from the numbing and savory seasonings, but also from the natural taste of the fish itself.

The chives were grilled to perfection, neither too soft nor too dry, and dipped in the restaurant's specially prepared sauce, making them incredibly delicious.

The grilled butter is even more amazing. Although it looks simple and doesn't have many seasonings, just some cumin powder, one bite reveals its rich and fragrant aroma.

The addition of cumin powder, which helps to cut through the richness, elevates the taste experience to another level.

Li Cheng ate heartily, enjoying the rare taste of such delicious food. Zhang Qing, watching Li Cheng's exaggerated enjoyment, couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

The two were eating with their heads down when suddenly a lot of taxis appeared on the roadside. It seemed that a formidable opponent had arrived.

The taxis were all ordinary cars, but the people who got out seemed a bit unusual, with their hair dyed in various colors, exuding a strong non-mainstream vibe.

Moreover, they didn't come empty-handed; each of them carried a weapon, some with batons, some with props, and some with long whips.

About twenty thugs walked over, and the bald man gestured at them, saying something that was unclear.

At this moment, a tall, burly man with a pompadour walked over, but upon seeing Zhang Qing behind Li Cheng, he immediately stopped.

Surprisingly, the man with the airplane-shaped nose turned around without saying a word, got into a taxi, and left.

The other twenty or so thugs, seeing that the man with the pompadour had left, also dispersed on bad terms.

It seems this guy with the airplane haircut knows Zhang Qing.

So it seems that the bald guy is just a small-time hoodlum, why does he act like a big brother?

After the group left, the people in the night market looked at each other, and the owner paid special attention to Li Cheng's table, always trying to strike up a conversation with them.
