"No way!" Tong Mo quickly stepped back, shaking her head like a bobblehead. She wasn’t a fool; she knew that debts of gratitude were the hardest to repay.
Who knew what kind of request the other party would come up with to make you thank him!
What if he wanted her to sleep with him!
She definitely didn’t want to do that with a "duck"!
Her reaction was expected by Li Zijue; not a flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes. Instead, he said indifferently, "If you don’t accept it, I will go right now and tell your homeroom teacher that we are not uncle and niece at all..."
When Li Zijue mentioned tattling, he actually went for it.
"Damn!" Tong Mo cursed softly and quickly grabbed him to pull him aside, glaring at him furiously as she snatched the money from his hand, "Fine, today I, Tong Mo, admit defeat."
She clenched the money fiercely and continued to glare at him, "Tell me, how exactly do you want me to thank you?"
If he dared to suggest something disgusting, she promised she would definitely smash his head in!
Li Zijue pondered for a moment; the night shrouded his handsome and mature cheeks as he said, "Dine with me tonight."
"Just like that?" Tong Mo could not help but be surprised.
Was it really that simple?
"Or do you want to go home with me tonight for a more in-depth conversation?" Li Zijue looked at her shocked face and couldn’t help but ask meaningfully.
If it weren’t for the inappropriate location, Tong Mo really wanted to kick him to death.
"I’m telling you, stop disgusting me, otherwise I have a thousand ways to kill you!"
The girl warned him, infuriated and embarrassed.
Seeing her reaction, Li Zijue couldn’t help but laugh instead of getting angry.
She is a self-respecting girl.
They arrived at the restaurant.
Tong Mo found that the restaurant was completely empty.
"Hey, is this restaurant not good? Why is there nobody here?"
"I booked the whole place."
"Holy shit!" Tong Mo was shocked by the man’s flashy ways and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "So, is your line of work really lucrative?"
To protect his pride, Tong Mo did not mention the word "duck."
But Li Zijue misunderstood and thought she had guessed he worked for a listed company, so he nodded, "It is very lucrative."
"Then it must be very hard, right?"
Thinking of his frequent all-nighters, Li Zijue nodded again, "Indeed, it is hard."
Tong Mo grinned immediately, "I get it, I get it!"
After all, being pressured every day, how could he not be tired!
Luckily, Li Zijue had no idea what she meant by that, otherwise he would definitely have choked her to death, he was still a virgin after all!
After a hearty meal and drinks, Li Zijue personally drove her home.
During the meal, Tong Mo had been greedy, and now she lay tipsily on the soft car seat, humming an unrecognizable tune.
Li Zijue watched her, his gaze filled with an affection he himself hadn’t noticed.
"How can you be so careless, getting drunk with a stranger..." Although his tone was admonishing, his face was gentle as he fastened her seatbelt.
After fastening it, his gaze fell on her plump red lips; swallowing hard, he then leaned in closer.
At the moment of contact, Li Zijue couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.
Just as he had imagined, incredibly sweet; even the finest dessert made by a top chef couldn’t compare.
