Jin Di narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“What? Such an indifferent tone, could it be that you’re upset with me?”
She frowned as if this were an intimate quarrel between a couple.
“Mr. Jin, it’s better if you don’t tease me anymore. I’ll be embarrassed if any outsiders find out about this.”
She smiled, and the meaning in her eyes was obvious.
She did not want to expose their relationship!
When he realized this, his mood inexplicably became worse.
The restaurant owner saw that the atmosphere had soured, and she gave the chef behind her a look.
“Um, well…we’d better go prepare the dishes then…” she said.
Mr. Jin didn’t say anything, and the owner brought some of the waitstaff in to clear the table immediately.
Once the two of them were left alone in the private room, the smile on Jin Di’s face gradually faded.
“Do you really dislike the identity of Jin Di’s woman?” he asked.
“Oh no, the title of Jin Di’s woman is the supreme glory that all the women in the country fight each other for, how could I possibly dislike it?” Zuo Aiai smiled as she said this, displaying her skill at telling a lie with her eyes wide open to the fullest.
“Hm, why doesn’t that seem like the truth?”
“Mr. Jin is mistaken. I’m just afraid that I’ll be too willful and cause trouble for Mr. Jin. When that time comes, I’m afraid that a powerless little woman like me will die without a burial place.”
She said it so pitifully.
He knew that she was lying to him, but when he saw her pleasing face acting so realistically, his mood could not help but improve.
“Your acting is so good. Why don’t I invest in a TV series for you to star in?”
Danil was right. As long as he was happy, he would indeed spend generously.
However…
“Mr. Jin, you must be joking. I don’t have that ability. If Mr. Jin is really happy, why don’t you return my little flower shop to me? I’m a very easy person to satisfy. I don’t know how to use things that I shouldn’t have even if I wanted them. Wouldn’t that be a waste?”
Accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger. At least for the duration of the agreement, she only wanted to protect herself and take back what was hers.
There was no need to risk angering this tiger for something that was not worth it.
Jin Di kept looking at her, and the smile on her lips gradually stiffened into a mask…
Perhaps she should have obediently said nothing just now. A man like him always gave whatever he wanted, but if he gave it to her and she rejected it, it would be equivalent to disrespecting him.
She was indeed a little anxious to take back the flower shop, but maybe she’d said so too soon?
If he was really angry…
She could not help but hold her breath as she broke out in a cold sweat.
However, at this moment, Jin Di suddenly laughed out loud and immediately diluted the atmosphere that was so tense that it was suffocating.
“Hahahahahaha, I like a woman who knows how to adapt to the situation. However, if a woman knows how to adapt to the situation too much, it will make people think that she is cunning. Miss Zuo, since you don’t want what I offer you, then forget it. However, I don’t want to give you what you do want for the time being.”
She was a little disappointed, but she also heaved a sigh of relief.
What he meant was…she was off the hook?
She was still smiling, but didn’t respond.
After a while, he looked up at her earnestly. “You’re not angry?”
She smiled back at him. “It’s very foolish to be angry with a financial backer. Even I know this much. After all, Mr. Jin is so kind to bring me here to eat such extravagant food. I’m more than happy. How can I be angry in a place like this?”
