Li Qingshen heard her speaking, he would calmly turn his head, glance at her, and then softly "hmm" before turning back to the serene and elegant posture he maintained while continuing to drive.
Ling Momo had been talking for quite a while and seemed to tire, falling into silence. She just stared out the window, her gaze drifting little by little until it unintentionally swept across the rearview mirror. That’s when she caught sight of Li Qingshen’s beautiful yet cold visage, bearing an unearthly elegance, like something out of a dream, especially his lips, soft and pretty like rose petals. Momo couldn’t help but take a second glance.
Li Qingshen was always on high alert. He unexpectedly lifted his head and met Momo’s eyes in the rearview mirror. Momo’s body shivered, and she quickly averted her gaze, embarrassed at being caught staring.
Still focusing on the rearview mirror, Li Qingshen looked intently at the girl reflected in it. Momo’s eyes flickered slightly, and seeing the man’s gaze, she couldn’t help feeling even more awkward.
The atmosphere in the car became somewhat uncomfortable.
Momo’s hands clenched together tightly, stirring restlessly. She silently wondered to herself when his gaze would shift away from her.
Yet, as time ticked by, his gaze remained on her. Momo’s palms were covered with sweat, and she even felt the oxygen in the car running low, making it difficult to breathe.
Momo thought to herself that if this continued, she would surely suffocate. She needed to quickly find a topic to alleviate the eerie atmosphere.
Thus she racked her brains for a while, and after a long time, she finally came up with a reasonable topic. With a smile tinged with a hint of ingratiating sweetness, she turned to Li Qingshen and said, "Teacher, let me treat you to dinner." For original chapters go to NoveIＦire.net
Hearing Momo’s voice, Li Qingshen abruptly snapped back to reality and leisurely "hmm?" in response.
"Teacher, you’ve helped me out a lot recently, and I’m truly grateful," Momo said earnestly, "So, I’d like to invite you to dinner to express my thanks!"
Initially, it was an excuse to shift the mood, but as she continued to speak, her intentions became sincere.
Recently, Li Qingshen had been very kind to her, but she had never done anything for him. So, inviting him to dinner was indeed the right thing to do!
A trace of joy flashed in Li Qingshen’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, nodding with an expression that showed little emotion, and said, "Okay!"
"Then Teacher, you decide where we should go," Momo smiled sweetly at Li Qingshen, appearing very generous.
"It’s up to you," Li Qingshen said in a tone that seemed tranquil, but heaven knows how filled with joy he was inside. Momo had taken the initiative to invite him to dinner; did that mean that she no longer rejected and disliked him as she had before?
Momo pursed her lips, thinking hard about where they should eat. Finally, she questioned, "The Hyatt?"
Li Qingshen pondered for a moment, then said, "I’m tired of it."
Indeed, he was tired of it, and secondly, he knew that Momo had earned some advertising fees, but dining at the Hyatt was quite expensive. Although it was a restaurant owned by the Baodi Group, economically it didn’t make sense; it would be a hefty expense for her, and he couldn’t bear that.
