It wasn't until I watched the two of them walk away that I went to the front desk to pay the bill.
During payment, I casually brought up, "The gorgeous woman who was just here, does she come to the restaurant often?"
The young man at the front desk looked in the direction where Wang Xiaoxiao and her companion had left and said, "Yeah, she comes here often; she's a VIP of our restaurant."
He paused, seemingly recalling something, and spoke with a touch of sadness, "But it's a pity, a beautiful flower like that stuck on a pile of cow dung."
I raised an eyebrow, "That man just now is her boyfriend?"
The young man nodded, "Seems like it, they're often seen together here, and every time they come, the guy is all handsy, and they're very intimate with each other."
At this, the young man sighed regretfully, "Such a pretty girl, why would she pick such an ugly guy for a boyfriend? Maybe she finds ugliness more reassuring?"
