“There’s a bed here, should we give it a try?” Emily Clark pointed at his single bed.

After arriving in this world, it was the first time Emily Clark had blurted out such an out-of-control remark, but he really had no choice—it was all because of the woman in front of him.

“Look at you, look at you, why are you reacting so strongly! If it’s not, then it’s not!” Yvonne Foster glanced at Emily Clark and continued, “But the way you’re acting just makes people think you are, you know?”

“Do you believe I’ll throw your suitcase out right now!” Emily Clark said, unable to hold back any longer.

“I was just joking, what’s there to be mad about? Come on, help me tidy up the room!” Yvonne Foster gave Emily Clark a flirtatious look, pushed him, and said in a sweet voice.

Emily Clark was both amused and exasperated—trouble had really arrived!

“My stomach’s still empty. I’m going out to eat now, you tidy up yourself.” Originally, Emily Clark had planned to just make some instant noodles at home to fill his stomach, but after hearing this, he quickly found an excuse to politely refuse.

This precedent absolutely couldn’t be set, or there would be endless trouble!

Chapter 4: Freeloading a Meal

When Yvonne Foster heard about eating, her eyes immediately lit up. She patted her stomach and said, “Now that you mention it, I realize I’m hungry too. Let’s go eat together!”

Emily Clark felt a headache coming on. Not only did this excuse fail to get rid of Yvonne Foster, it actually meant he’d have to treat her to a free meal. Because whether it was the former refined Emily Clark or the once-dominant Emily Clark of the Immortal Realm, neither had developed the habit of eating with women and letting them pay.

“Forget it, climbing seven flights of stairs is a hassle. I’ll just make some instant noodles myself.” Emily Clark was strapped for cash and really couldn’t afford to support a woman.

As soon as Yvonne Foster heard this, she immediately exclaimed, “What, instant noodles? Look at you, you’re already skin and bones, and you’re still eating this junk food! As a professional, let me tell you, instant noodles are all deep-fried, and the oil often contains BHT. Do you know what BHT is? I bet you don’t. It’s a carcinogen, and it can cause liver enlargement, chromosomal abnormalities, and reduced fertility. Plus, the seasoning packets—whether it’s the meat packet, oil packet, or salt and MSG packet—all contain antioxidants. Eating too much will affect your liver…”

Yvonne Foster rattled off a long list of the dangers of instant noodles, then glanced at Emily Clark with a smug look and said, “Now do you understand? Living with a beautiful woman like me who works in healthcare is a guarantee of life and health. It’s such a stroke of luck.”

Emily Clark finally experienced firsthand the deep meaning of the saying “women are trouble.” Ever since this pretty nurse set foot in his home, trouble had started following him non-stop. At the very least, he could forget about ever having peace and quiet again.

“I’m still going to eat instant noodles!” Emily Clark was not the kind of man who let women lead him by the nose—at least, not this woman in front of him.

Yvonne Foster blinked her big eyes, took a step back, and looked at Emily Clark as if he were an idiot. “After all that, you still want to eat instant noodles?”

At this, she took another step back, pouted, and let a look of disdain show openly on her face. “I get it, you must be afraid I’ll freeload a meal.”

No matter whether a man’s thoughts have been exposed or not, when a woman—especially a beautiful woman—questions him like this, he’ll definitely jump up to deny it, then, in a fit of bravado, insist on treating her to a meal. And it won’t be at a street stall, but at a place with a better environment, a bit more upscale, as if only then can he clear his name.

This was one of the reasons why Yvonne Foster wanted to share an apartment with a man!

Unfortunately, Emily Clark was not an ordinary man. His mental fortitude was excellent. Although he couldn’t deny that Yvonne Foster’s words had provoked him a little, he merely glanced at Yvonne Foster indifferently, shrugged, and said, “You got it right. I really am afraid you’ll freeload a meal.”

All women care about saving face, especially beautiful ones. Although Yvonne Foster didn’t deny that she wanted to squeeze a little money out of a man, being so bluntly accused of having ulterior motives by a man, she couldn’t help but snap back. “What did you say? There are so many men lining up to treat a natural beauty like me to dinner, and I can’t even be bothered! As for you, you look like the type who can only afford street food. Even if you wanted to treat me, there’s no way!”

Seeing Yvonne Foster’s flustered reaction, Emily Clark finally felt a sense of satisfaction. He smiled faintly and said, “It’s best if you think that way.”

With that, he walked to the kitchen, opened the cupboard, and took out a packet of instant noodles.

Yvonne Foster was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, as if nothing had happened just now. She strode over to the kitchen on her long, shapely legs, snatched the instant noodles from Emily Clark’s hand, and said enthusiastically, “Let me, a little lady, handle this!”
