When ss ended that afternoon, we reached the ssroom door to find that Lina was already waiting there.


    A few concerned nces swept toward me at once. Felicia was so agitated that she sent me a message immediately.


    "She''s lying to you! Don''t believe her!"


    However, I still left with Lina, because I wanted to see how she would carry out her act. I hadn''t expected her to take me straight to the ck Dragon.


    I was amused. "Lina, why did you bring me here? Are you going to buy me lunch?"


    Lina choked slightly. "Where would I get the money to treat you to a meal at a ce like this? It''s just that we had a misunderstanding here yesterday, didn''t we? This restaurant put me on the cklist, right? Go and tell them to take me off the cklist."


    "Me? I don''t have that kind of authority."


    "Don''t you have a VIP card?" She was agitated, and her voice had be louder. She had forgotten to make herself sound sweet.


    I found it funny, so I said impassively, "I''ve already given the VIP card back to the restaurant. It''s probably been returned to its rightful owner already."


    "What? You gave it back? Y-you were lucky enough toe across it! Why would you give it back?" She stamped her foot, looking anxious.


    I shrugged. "I picked up something that belonged to someone else. Isn''t returning


    it to its owner the normal thing to do? What belongs to someone else will always belong to someone else.


    "No matter how poor we are, we can''t covet other people''s money. Don''t you think that materialistic people are disgusting?"


    Upon hearing this, Lina smiled awkwardly and remained silent. Then, she thought for a moment and pulled me toward another restaurant, which was only slightly less expensive than the ck Dragon.


    "William, treat me to a meal. Didn''t you get 500 thousand in prize money for your business? You haven''t treated me to a meal yet."


    Iughed coldly to myself. If I was going to buy a meal for anyone, it wouldn''t be for her.


    On the outside, I kept up my innocent demeanor. "I wanted to buy you a meal too, but you didn''t give me the chance to. Didn''t you dump me? You kept looking down on me, and you mocked me whenever we met."


    Lina blushed and immediately hugged my arm. "I did all of that on purpose. I like you! I still like you, William. Really."


    She cupped my face in her hands and looked tenderly at me. "Let''s make up, alright? I promise that if you make me feel that you really love me, I''m willing to give you my first time."


    I put an arm around her waist and smiled as I asked, "Really? I think you''ve got the order wrong though. You''ve always known that I like you. However, whether you like me or not is hard to say. Don''t you need to prove it to me?"


    Lina said at once, "How do you want me to prove it?"


    "How about you give Ryan a call and tell him you don''t like him and will never see him again? If you do that, I''ll believe you."


    Ryan had been Lina''s biggest safety so far. Besides, Ryan had caused trouble for mest night, and I hadn''t taught him a lesson yet. I''d be killing two birds with one stone.


    Lina immediately bit her lip hard. It was clear that Ryan wasn''t that important to her because she was seriously considering getting rid of him. However, she was still hesitating.


    I smiled. "It''s okay if you don''t want to. I know that I can neverpare to him in your heart. After all, I don''t even have a car."


    "No, it''s not like that." Lina was in a dilemma.


    On the one hand, she could y the long game and catch herself a wealthy heir who wasn''t that generous to her.


    On the other, she could get a poor devil like me who was generous to her and had 500 thousand in prize money. Which would she choose?


    In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright. I''ll call him."
