He expected daughters of the noble families would prefer exquisite or luxurious dishes.

Yet the lady before him simply wanted to eat crispy chili beef, which took him by surprise.

Leah saw his confused face and raised her brows, “What? Do you not like it?” She asked.

Ron looked down at her for a while before shaking his head and laughed. He reached his hand out to

pinch Leah’s cheeks in a sudden.

Leah was stunned and covered her cheeks with her hands after a moment. “What are you doing?” She

frowned at him and asked.

“Nothing,” Ron answered as he showed his signature evil smile, “Just felt that you’re cute.”

Leah paused before rolling her eyes and mumbled out, “…Stupid.”

Ron grabbed her by the arm and walked, “I know the exact place to eat the best and authentic crispy

chili beef. Come on, I’ll bring you there!” He exclaimed.

Soon, Ron drove Leah to a somewhat secluded place.

In front of them was a narrow and long alley. With only a few street lamps on the side, the alley was

quite dim-looking.

It was nine in the evening. Arriving at such a place after being in a busy street certainly made Leah

wary.

Ron opened the car door and got off. He turned around to see Leah’s face and felt somewhat hilarious,

“Why? You think I’m kidnapping you?” He chuckled.

Leah took a glance at him and pouted as she shook her head.

She had known Ron for a long time. He might not be a great guy, but he had never done something

that would hurt her.

Ron pushed her shoulders and urged, “Let’s go! I promise it’ll never disappoint you.”

The two of them walked through the narrow alley and to Leah’s surprise, there was a hidden food

haven behind it.

It was a busy food street. All kinds of roadside stalls were set up along the long narrow path and Leah

could smell the different scents emitting from the food stalls.

Men and women of all ages sat at the roadside enjoying their food and drinks. Although they were

eating street food, they looked as if they were enjoying exquisite delicacies.

Leah was shocked by the view before her.

A haven like this existed in Linkville?

“What are you standing there for? Don’t you want to eat chili beef? Come on!” Ron exclaimed as he

pulled on Leah’s arm and walked across several stalls, and finally stopped before a stall with “Andrews’

Spicy Beef” written on a wooden sign.

“Mr Andrews! Give me two portions of chili beef!” Ron ordered with ease.

“Sure! Go ahead and pick some appetizers to eat!” The middle-aged man known as Mr Andrews

looked up in the midst of chaos happening in the kitchen. After seeing Ron, his smile grew wider and

exclaimed, “Oh, it’s Ron! What brings you here?”

Ron passed a tray to Leah and replied to Mr Andrews, “I brought a friend to taste your dishes.”

Mr Andrews’ gaze then stopped at Leah and immediately grinned widely, “Your girlfriend, huh?” He

asked.

Leah’s face froze as she heard that and quickly waved her hands, trying to explain, “No…”

“Never mind him, Mr Andrews is busy right now. Let’s just order,” Ron urged before she could explain.

The two of them chose their side dishes and picked the spiciness of their dishes. Leah picked the

medium level for spiciness, while Ron picked extreme. They sat around a table nearby after dropping

off their orders to Mr Andrews.

Ron’s gaze grew gentler as he looked around their surroundings, “Told you. How do you like this

place?” He asked Leah cheerfully.

“How did you find this place?” Leah curiously asked.

Ron grinned and answered, “When I was poor, I enjoyed eating the food here. Ever since, I’ve eaten

every single snack there is on this street. Even though I ain’t poor now, I always miss the taste here.”

Ron showed a thumbs-up and praised, “It’s very authentic.”

As they chatted, the dishes were served. Leah took a bite of the beef and agreed with Ron, “It’s

delicious!”

The crispy chili beef was spicy enough to dye Leah’s lips and cheeks red. Nevertheless, she enjoyed it

very much.

As for Ron, who ordered the extreme level of spiciness, the dish made him teared up.

Leah found his face hilarious looking and laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Ron looked at her with clear eyes and asked.

“It’s nothing.” Leah chuckled.

Ron nodded and suddenly leaned closer, “So, why were you crying?” He asked.

Leah paused as she did not expect his question.

She did not know why she was crying too. She had almost forgotten her feelings back at that moment.

“It’s nothing, really.” Leah twirled her fork around the dish and mumbled out, “Ian called off our

engagement.”

“What? Why? Wasn’t he eager to get married to you?” Ron widened his eyes in disbelief.

Leah smiled and sighed, “Well, this is what grown ups’ relationships are.”

Ron’s mouth slightly opened as he wanted to know more, but it was clear that Leah did not want to talk

about the topic anymore.

The two of them walked out of the alley after they finished eating.

Leah’s mood was much better after the meal.

“Where to next?” Ron asked.

Leah shook her head and replied, “I’m getting sleepy. Let’s go home for now.”

“Sure, let me send you home then,” Ron compiled.

He drove Leah back to the White mansion. As Leah got out of the car, she gave Ron a warm smile and

thanked, “Thank you, Ron.”

“You don’t have to thank me!” Ron patted her head as he replied.

Leah then turned around and walked towards the mansion.

“Oh, right,” Ron suddenly called out to Leah and she turned her head while looking at him with a

questioned face, “There’s a banquet tomorrow and you’re coming with me!”

“No, I don’t…” Leah frowned and tried to refuse.

But Ron did not bother to hear her reply and simply shouted back, “Alright, bye!”

Ron then left the mansion and drove straight to the Sanders residence.

Walking into the living room, he looked mad. Mrs Sanders was watching the television when he barged

in, “What are you doing here? Get out!” She instantly warned him.

“Where’s Ian?” Ron glared at her menacingly and asked.

Mrs Howard was scared by his death glare.

Meanwhile, Ian walked down from upstairs. As he came down, he asked, “What’s going on?”

He saw a brief sinister expression on Ron’s face. Ron promptly stepped forward and yanked onto Ian’s

collar before punching him hard on the face.

Mrs Howard’s face turned pale in fear, “What on Earth are you doing?” She shrieked.

“What am I doing?” Ron looked at Ian dead in the eyes and yelled, “You should know what you’ve done

to Leah!”
