Yan Xixi was dumbfounded.
She flew into a rage. "Hey, are you eating or not? If not, just forget it. I don’t have the patience to dawdle with you. You’re the one refusing, so don’t bla ."
"What are you treating to? Which restaurant?"
She ntioned a pretty good Chinese restaurant, but he imdiately objected, "No, too lowbrow."
She beca annoyed. "Then you pick a place."
"Miss, are you dead set on inviting ?"
"Of course. I’m quite sincere."
"Sincere? Then I’ll pick a place. You’re inviting to XX Club."
She asked skeptically, "Isn’t that where all the tycoons gather? Us ordinary people might not be able to afford that."
He responded nonchalantly, "It’s not expensive; about ten or twenty thousand per al should do."
Ten or twenty thousand!
She was furious. "My budget is between five hundred to a thousand, including all drinks."
He laughed maliciously. "Miss, I can tell you’re getting impatient, aren’t you? Are you exceedingly curious about ? You’re dying to et , aren’t you? Or should I say, you’re already falling for ?"
"Oh please, stop flattering yourself. I invited you out as a courtesy. Can it be that you’re getting cocky now?"
"Miss, I am indeed putting on airs. You can invite out, but you must agree to my three conditions."
She was incredibly curious. "What conditions? Let’s hear them."
"First, imdiately send a selfie of yourself as you are right now. I need this to confirm you’re not hideous, so I don’t have to worry I’m about to be assaulted. Second, I don’t like eating in restaurants; you must cook for yourself. My requirents aren’t high—three dishes and a soup will suffice. Third, you must genuinely fall in love with . Only then will I agree to eat with you. Otherwise, I don’t want to waste my ti."
Yan Xixi was so angry that she started laughing.
What a wild world we live in, full of all sorts of wonders.
She couldn’t even begin to imagine that soone in this world could be so brazen. Where on earth did he get this level of confidence?
Xu Xiaoya took the ssage and read it. She too was stunned. After a mont, she exclaid, "Oh my God, this guy is clearly in love with you!"
Yan Xixi took a deep breath and didn’t respond to him anymore.
A bit later, another ssage ca: "Miss, have you decided? If you’re in love with , just say so openly. If you do, no matter how busy I am, I’ll make ti to et you and have dinner with you. As long as you’re not hideous, I generally won’t refuse your next invitation."
"Honey, are you sure you’re not just playing hard to get?"
"HAHA. You figured that out? That’s right, I’m angling for a big fish."
"I think you’re just too ugly to show your face, probably so disgusting old geezer, maybe even with warts, acting all mysterious, right?"
"Miss, don’t be too harsh. If you miss out on , you’re sure to regret it for the rest of your life."
She sent a long string of exclamation points: "Forget it, I can’t aspire to your level. You crude lout, as for this al, let’s just call it off. No thanks are needed. Once you find a beautiful woman to marry, let know, and I’ll send you a big red envelope as a gift."
"How big will the red envelope be?"
"250."
Wan Donglin laughed out loud on the other end.
It had been a long ti since he had laughed so much.
When the phone rang, his voice was still full of laughter, making Liu Daqing a little surprised. "Donglin, you seem to be in a good mood recently?"
"Not bad."
"Are you ready to co here yet?"
He was noncommittal. "No rush. Lady Daqing, once I finish handling my affairs here, I’ll co to keep you company."
