Volume One, Chapter 13: I’ll Go Keep Him Company; I’ll Share Half the Food with You!

Page (1/3)

Li Bing pictured Lin Feng’s handsome face.

That man had food, and he seemed rather soft-hearted as well.

Otherwise, he would never have been played for a fool by his ex-girlfriend, Wang Xiaoli.

He had actually worked to support her through four years of university. What a joke!

People like him fancied themselves devoted lovers, but in reality they were nothing more than idiots.

Sure enough, that bitch Wang Xiaoli dumped Lin Feng the moment she passed the civil service examination.

Li Bing did not think there was anything wrong with what Wang Xiaoli had done. In fact, she understood it perfectly.

After all, she was doing exactly the same thing herself.

Everything was for profit!

A sharp glint flashed through Li Bing’s eyes as a feasible plan quickly took shape in her mind.

Still, persuading Wang Tao would probably take some effort.

Li Bing was secretly rather jealous of Wang Xiaoli.

That bitch was clearly less beautiful than she was, yet she had managed to seduce a handsome man like Lin Feng.

She had even gotten him to willingly pay for every expense of her four years at university.

The reason Li Bing felt so unbalanced was mainly because of her own fiancé.

Wang Tao was quite tall, but he was undeniably fat.

To make matters worse, he dressed in a tacky, old-fashioned way. He insisted on making himself look like some middle-aged uncle and wore flip-flops when he went out to collect rent.

He looked not only like a nouveau riche, but also like a clumsy bear.

Compared with the sunny and handsome Lin Feng, he was practically impossible to look at.

That was also why Li Bing had never allowed Wang Tao to touch her.

If she looked at him for too long, she worried she might throw up.

If his family had not offered her a large sum of money, she never would have agreed to the engagement.

Seeing that the furious Wang Tao was about to post Lin Feng’s address in the group chat, Li Bing hurried over and snatched his phone away, scolding him sharply.

“What are you doing? Have you gone mad? If you send that information out, what are we supposed to eat?”

“But... if we don’t expose his address, we won’t be able to get any food either.”

Wang Tao was already enraged, and his voice rose a little.

Slap!

Li Bing struck him across the face without the slightest hesitation.

“What do you mean by speaking to me so loudly? Do you even have any respect for me?”

Wang Tao immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. He quickly put on an ingratiating smile and softened his tone.

“Baby, I was only angry at Lin Feng just now. I’m sorry. That bastard actually dared to set his sights on you. I really want to kill him!”

Li Bing shot him a disdainful glance and sneered inwardly.

All that man could do was talk. He had no intention of taking any real action.

“Heh. If you had that kind of courage, we wouldn’t be starving here! I’m furious too. How dare a deliveryman entertain such thoughts about me? I really want to find a chance to rip out his tongue!”

Wang Tao hurriedly nodded, doing his best to please Li Bing.

“Exactly. I was thinking the same thing, which is why I want to expose his address. Baby, think about it. He flaunts his food in the group chat every day, so there must be plenty of people who envy and resent him. When they go after his food, they might even kill him.”

Li Bing rolled her beautiful eyes. This man really was an idiot.

“Are you stupid? Even if someone else beats him to death, we won’t gain a thing. Wouldn’t we still end up starving to death at home?”

Wang Tao was rendered speechless. He opened his mouth, but could not find anything to say in response.

As a professional master at training lapdogs, Li Bing was exceptionally skilled at manipulating the emotions of a simp.

“Or... I could go and keep him company?”

“No!”

Wang Tao sprang to his feet, his face livid. His voice was eight tones higher than before.

“Baby, you can’t believe what he said!”

“There you go, speaking to me so loudly again.”

Li Bing glared at him. Wang Tao immediately shut his mouth, but he was so anxious that he began pacing in circles like an ant on a hot pan.

“Baby, I’m only worried that you’ll suffer. Lin Feng must be lying. He just wants to...”

“What are you getting so worked up about? I haven’t even finished speaking.”

Seeing that Wang Tao was already consumed by fury, Li Bing finally revealed her plan.

“We can go to Lin Feng’s apartment together, but you’ll have to hide somewhere the peephole can’t see. Once he opens the door, I’ll block him. Then you rush inside and take all the food from his refrigerator!”

At the word “take,” Wang Tao’s face immediately went pale, and even his voice began to tremble.

“Baby... stealing isn’t right, is it? It’s against the law.”

Useless!

Li Bing cursed him inwardly. The more she looked at her weak-willed fiancé, the more displeased she became.

The world had already ended, and he was still worrying about morality and the law?

He looked like a bear, yet he had less courage than a dog.

She let out a cold laugh, impatience coloring her voice as she continued to provoke him.

“So, according to you, the two of us should simply starve to death together? In that case, I might as well go and keep Lin Feng company.”

“No!”

Wang Tao fell for it exactly as she had expected, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

He could not accept giving his woman to a tenant.

But the thought of robbing someone terrified him.

Wang Tao believed he had a decent income, a beautiful fiancée, and a wedding just around the corner.

Once official aid arrived, if he were arrested for robbery, then his money, his house, and his wife would all belong to someone else.

The thought made him even more hesitant.

Watching Wang Tao shrink back in fear, Li Bing grew increasingly dissatisfied.

In the past, a weak-willed man like him had been easy to control.

But now, the authorities had released no good news at all, and no one knew how long the white-fog disaster would last.

If she continued following this coward, she probably would not last much longer.

Li Bing felt that, with a face as beautiful as hers, starving to death would likely be the easiest way to die.

She thought of the scenes in movies and television shows where, after the collapse of order, beautiful women were subjected to every kind of torment.

A shiver ran through her, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around her shoulders.

To avoid such a fate, she had to make full use of Wang Tao.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go and keep him company, and I’ll give you half of the food I get.”

Li Bing pretended to sound aggrieved, adding a hint of a sob to her voice as she unleashed her ultimate weapon.

Wang Tao reacted exactly as she had expected.

His entire body trembled, his eyes reddening. Clearly, his anger had reached its peak.

Baby loves me. She would rather sacrifice herself than let me go hungry.

“No! You can’t do that!”

“This isn’t allowed, and that isn’t allowed. What exactly do you want? Are we supposed to sit here and wait to die?”

Li Bing glared at him coldly, her voice filled with impatience.

Faced with her displeasure, Wang Tao did not dare speak. He lowered his head, his thoughts in complete turmoil.

One moment he imagined rushing to Lin Feng’s apartment and taking every edible or drinkable thing he could find.

The next, he thought perhaps he should simply let his wife go and keep Lin Feng company.

Surely he could not let Baby starve to death with him?

At least she could bring some food back, and the two of them could survive.

But how humiliating that would be!

A surge of fury gathered in his chest, yet he had nowhere to vent it.

Seeing Wang Tao’s expression shift again and again, Li Bing decided to fan the flames.

She rose at once and walked over to the dressing table. Picking up a comb, she began gently combing her long hair.

“I’m going to Lin Feng’s place right now.”

“No, don’t!”

Wang Tao abruptly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and both hands clenched tightly into fists.

Yet when he spoke, there was no force in his voice at all. Instead, it carried a hint of pleading.

“Baby, please, don’t go...”

Li Bing gently patted Wang Tao on the head, her tone softening somewhat.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let him touch me. I have plenty of experience controlling men...”

Only after the words left her mouth did she realize that she had let something slip. Alarmed, she quickly closed her mouth.

For once, Wang Tao caught the significance of her words. He stared at Li Bing in confusion.

“Baby, what do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you’ve been controlling me too...”

He suddenly remembered that he and Li Bing had been engaged for more than half a year.

Yet he had not even touched her once, and a wave of unease surged through him.

Could it be that he, too, was someone she had been manipulating?
