True Love Waits

Chapter 725 Treasure Of The Li Family

The food provided on the train never tasted any good. So, when it was dinner time, most of Niles' coworkers chose to eat the instant noodles which they had packed for the journey. They also shared their snacks with each other.

Blair was not used to taking this kind of long trips on the train. She hadn't thought of bringing any snacks with her. So, while everybody else was getting ready to eat their dinner, she remained busy on her computer.

Niles put away the poker cards and asked, "Blair, aren't you hungry?"

She smiled awkwardly. "I didn't bring any food. I don't know where to buy dinner either." A lady with a food tram had just passed through the aisle with all kinds of snacks and drinks. But she was nowhere in sight anymore. There was only one cart that was selling dinner. Blair didn't want it.

"Hold on," Niles said. He took a box of instant hot pot and another box of self-heating rice from his backpack. "Which one would you like to have?"

A young man sitting next to Niles snatched the instant hot pot from his hand and joked, "I didn't bring dinner either. I'll take this one."

"Hey! What would my sister-in-law eat if you take it? My brother will kill me if I let her go hungry. Will you take the blows for me? Or should I just tell him that you took away his wife's food?" Niles looked at his friend slyly.

The young man was well aware that Niles' brother was Wesley Li. His eyes went wide in fear and shook his head violently as he handed the instant hot pot to Blair with both his hands. "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Li. Please enjoy your meal."

The rest of the party were amused by their childish conversation and laughed out loud.

Blair took the instant hot pot from him with a shy smile and started eating. The others shared their snacks with her too. She felt self-conscious about taking their share. She had nothing to share with them after all. Niles sensed her worries. He said, "Blair, don't worry about it. Once we're back in Y City, I'll ask Wesley for some money to treat them to a big dinner on the fifth floor of the Alioth Building."

One of the girls' eyes went wide in surprise. "Niles, did you just say the fifth floor of the Alioth Building? The one in the Shining International Plaza?"

"Uh-huh. Is there another Alioth Building?" Niles replied casually, biting into a cucumber as he looked at the girl.

Before she could grace him with a reply, the others scrambled to give their snacks to Blair. "Blair, here. Have mine. I have a lot," one said.
