Chapter 231 Dinner

The team bus carrying Chen Yingxiong drove directly to the training base, and then the players drove their own cars parked in the special parking lot and went home. Chen Yingxiong's prestige was even greater than others, as evidenced by the fact that he had a special driver to pick him up…

Christine. Cabella drove her car and appeared at the entrance of the training base. Everyone was used to this scene.

Especially after hearing Cassano vividly describe the fierce and sharp skills of the female bodyguard, some people didn't even have the heart to whistle at her.

"Ah, I'm going out tonight, I won't be home for dinner," Chen Yingxiong said suddenly, sitting in the car.

Cabella, who was driving, asked, "Where are you going to eat?"

"Margaret Flower King Restaurant."

"What time?"

Chen Yingxiong guessed what Cabella was going to do. If it were normal, he wouldn't mind taking such an outstanding beauty out to dinner. But not today…

"Uh, Christine. This is a private date, so you don't have to come along."

"I'm responsible for your safety," Cabella said without letting go.

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes in the back seat. Who was it who said before the end of last season that she thought he was no longer in danger and didn't need her protection?

"I really don't need any protection… I've been to Margaret Flower King Restaurant before, the manager there knows me, what danger could there be?"

Since Chen Yingxiong's relationship with most fans had eased, the first thing he did was go to the long-admired Margaret Flower King Restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal. Sure enough, no one came to make trouble for him.

Since then, he has liked the feeling of eating there.

It has a sense of conquest, as if he had defeated the enemy and could enjoy himself in their palace with wine, meat, and wanton indulgence.

Cabella saw Chen Yingxiong rolling his eyes in the rearview mirror. Sometimes he would use this method to express his dissatisfaction and helplessness. This was the result of Cabella's observation after more than a year of living together day and night.

Of course she knew that there was no danger at Margaret Flower King Restaurant. In the area she had designated for Chen Yingxiong's activities, Flower King Restaurant was already considered a relatively safe green area. She used blue to mark the safest places, such as Chen Yingxiong's home. Places where danger might be encountered were yellow, and very dangerous places where he should never go were red.

"Danger is unpredictable, Mr. Chen."

Cabella's cold "Mr. Chen" annoyed Chen Yingxiong. He had talked to Cabella about this issue no less than a hundred times, but she never took it to heart and still called him "Mr. Chen," keeping him at arm's length.

It was as if this was the only way to maintain their employer-employee relationship.

He had spent so much time and energy, but he had not been able to make Cabella's relationship with him closer. He had never felt that any woman could be as aloof as Cabella… Over time, he grew tired of it, so he stopped correcting Cabella's address to him. She could call him whatever she wanted.

"Okay, Christine. I'll be honest with you, I'm going on a date with a great beauty. I can't bring another woman with me, you know what I mean?"

"I understand, Mr. Chen. Don't worry, I'm just going to ensure your safety, not to be jealous."

Chen Yingxiong snorted: "That won't work. You're going to ensure my safety, but my friend doesn't know that. My body is safe, but my heart is hurt. Anyway, you're not allowed to go this time. I'm your employer, I have the right to tell you not to follow me…"

"Bodyguards have the right to take some actions that may violate the employer's wishes but can ensure his safety when the employer is unclear about the situation," Cabella said as she suddenly accelerated.

It turned out that two cars had suddenly followed from behind, with the intention of sandwiching his car in the middle, one on the left and one on the right.

"Hey, what are you doing? I've told you many times, they just want to ask me for autographs, Christine!"

Christine's answer was not surprising to Chen Yingxiong, because she had always answered like this before. "Crazy fans are a threat to players."

"I don't care what rights you have. All I know is that I must go to this date today!" Chen Yingxiong's tone was very firm. He rarely spoke to his bodyguard in such a tone, initially because he was afraid—he couldn't beat this woman. Later, it was because he didn't dislike this person, so naturally he couldn't speak to her in a bad tone.

Seeing Chen Yingxiong get angry, Cabella stopped talking.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Chen Yingxiong simply closed his eyes to rest. The battle with Lyon was really exhausting for him.

He needed to rest now.

※※※

In the evening, Chen Yingxiong, carefully groomed and dressed, drove alone to the Margaret Flower King Restaurant. Since he had a female bodyguard, he rarely drove himself. This time, because he was worried about what tricks Cabella might play, he simply drove alone.

There, Antonella Canali, the goddess in the hearts of the Neapolitans, was already sitting in her reserved seat.

Margaret Flower King Restaurant is a very well-known high-end restaurant in Naples. Many celebrities, especially Naples' football stars, come here to dine, so the owners, waiters, and diners here are used to the celebrity faces that appear before them. It is precisely because of this that celebrities are willing to come here to enjoy a meal without being disturbed, unlike in other places, where they would be surrounded and constantly asked for autographs and photos.

But when Canali sat by the window, propping up her chin and waiting for someone, her charming figure still attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

Some young waiters even blushed and lowered their heads in embarrassment after being glanced at by Canali.

In the end, the boss had to take the order himself to free the poor and happy young man.

When Chen Yingxiong came in, his tall and strong figure also attracted everyone's attention.

Chen Yingxiong had never been here before. He only started dining here this season, and everyone was already used to him. But today, they were staring at him with great interest.

Because they all knew who Canali was waiting for here.

Before the match against Lyon, Canali's fiery confession was known throughout the city. Now that Naples had returned to Naples, it was naturally time for Canali to fulfill her promise.

Some people felt unwilling when they thought that the goddess in their hearts was actually going to be taken advantage of by a Chinese boy. The looks they gave Chen Yingxiong were not so friendly.

But Chen Yingxiong was used to these hostile gazes. Whether at home or away, he had seen no shortage of such gazes. He had survived in this hostility and hatred. He walked to the seat where Canali was sitting as if no one else was there.

Then he pulled out a chair opposite her and sat down, with an apologetic smile on his face: "I'm sorry, um, I'm not very familiar with the roads in Naples…"

After seeing Chen Yingxiong, Canali showed a bright smile: "I understand, Naples' traffic is notoriously chaotic." Then she snapped her fingers, and the manager next to her understood and knew that it was time to start serving the dishes, so he went to the kitchen to urge them.

Amidst the envious gazes that could kill in the entire restaurant, Chen Yingxiong chatted and ate with Canali as if no one else was there. He found that although Canali was called "the goddess of Naples," she was not really a goddess. As a star, she was quite approachable, just like any twenty-something girl, with a lively and cheerful personality.

And Chen Yingxiong? Telling jokes to make girls happy was his forte.

So the two of them quickly hit it off…

When Chen Yingxiong talked about using bananas to celebrate goals and humiliate CSKA Moscow fans, Canali was already laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"You're so bad, Hero!"

Chen Yingxiong said a Chinese truth in Italian: "Women don't love bad men."

Unexpectedly, Canali boldly followed up with: "That's why I'm fascinated by men like you, Hero."

The atmosphere instantly changed from cheerful to ambiguous.

Chen Yingxiong looked at Canali across from him with some surprise, while Canali widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Yingxiong. The restaurant lights reflected in her eyes, like twinkling stars. Her fiery red lips were slightly upturned, with an encouraging smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Actually, I've been following you for a long time, Hero."

"Is that so?"

"From the first day you came to this city, I knew about you. Because at that time, it was impossible for you to not let others know… Haha!" Canali laughed.

Chen Yingxiong scratched his head. That incident had a profound impact on him, but it also made him famous throughout Italy and made him a household name.

Canali suddenly leaned forward, lowered her voice, and whispered to Chen Yingxiong: "Let me tell you, you are the first player I've known in all these years to join the Napoli team and dare to speak ill of Diego. I'm really surprised…"

However, Chen Yingxiong's attention was not on her words at all. He maintained a listening posture, but his eyes couldn't help but sink downwards, where Canali's full and rounded breasts were. The low-cut dress couldn't completely cover up that beautiful scene. The full breasts were squeezed into two round balls, ready to burst out, making people want to swallow their saliva—it was too spectacular!

Canali seemed completely unaware and continued to lean over to speak like this, not knowing that she had already seduced the men to the point of ecstasy…

For the rest of the meal, Chen Yingxiong was in no mood to eat. His mind was full of Canali's spectacular white breasts and bottomless cleavage.

After finishing dinner a little absentmindedly, Chen Yingxiong wanted to ask Canali what the next arrangement was. Would they just have dinner together and then go home? If that was the case, Chen Yingxiong would honestly be disappointed.

At this critical moment, how could Canali let Chen Yingxiong down?

She winked at Chen Yingxiong and said to Chen Yingxiong in the sweet, greasy voice she had used on the phone this morning: "I'm already your trophy, you can do whatever you want with me—"

Fortunately, Chen Yingxiong was sitting, so he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot… Even so, he felt like he had no bones in his body and was weak all over.

What was gratifying was that there was still one place on his body that was rock solid…
