"So that’s how it is, I thought a big-shot professor born with a silver spoon in his mouth like you only eats at high-end restaurants. Actually, occasionally treating to a al like this, if I grit my teeth, I can still afford it."
"I prefer sustainable developnt." The man smiled slightly, "Besides, making a lady spend money is not what a gentleman should do."
"Oh?" Lin Yixun raised an eyebrow, looked at the man who was focused on driving, and asked, "Then, Mr. Gentleman, why don’t you show the way?"
"How about hotpot?"
"Sure, I haven’t had hotpot for a long ti." Lin Yixun weighed her wallet, she had enough money for hotpot.
In recent years, Lin Yixun had rarely eaten spicy food like hotpot. Working at Nightshade for three years, her temper had been worn away, and her stomach had also developed problems.
She thought, just eating this once shouldn’t be a problem.
At the table, she was crying from the spiciness, but she felt it was very satisfying. Actually, she really liked spicy food, after holding back for three years, one could imagine the consequences.
"Boss, add another serving of potatoes, dried tofu, and cucumber slices."
Xing Yi glanced at the empty plates on the table, unable to hide his surprise in his eyes, "I didn’t expect you to have such a good appetite."
"Before, when you treated, it was so expensive, of course I didn’t dare to eat too much. This ti, I’m treating, so naturally, I don’t have to worry so much."
"Is that so?" Xing Yi couldn’t help but laugh, "Actually, it’s really unnecessary. My salary can still support you without a problem."
Lin Yixun’s face stiffened, she lowered her head in embarrassnt and changed the subject, "Why aren’t you eating anymore, there’s still a lot left."
"I’m full, enjoy your al."
The man knew she was changing the subject to divert attention, but he didn’t press the matter further, as pushing too hard could backfire at tis.
After the al, it was ti to get down to business.
Lin Yixun took out a card from her bag and handed it to Xing Yi, "My mom asked to return this to you."
Xing Yi didn’t take it, "There’s no reason to take back sothing that’s been given out. Besides, I’m a man, I don’t have much use for money."
"No reward for no rit."
"Yixun, you’re being too distant. I’m your senior, and also your friend."
"Senior, by doing this, I’ll feel pressured."
"You don’t need to feel pressured, think of this money as lending it to you, how about that?"
"I’m afraid I won’t be able to repay it." She had checked, there was fifty thousand on this card, selling herself wouldn’t be enough to repay it.
"You don’t need to have too big of a ntal burden, I’m not in a hurry to use the money, and I won’t push you to repay it. Whenever you have the money, just return it to ."
Lin Yixun shook her head and pushed the card back towards Xing Yi, "No, I can’t accept this card."
Xing Yi was about to speak, but Lin Yixun interrupted him, "Senior, I also have my pride. In my eyes, we are friends, and friends are equals. I enjoy being with you, it’s easy, relaxed, and pleasant. But if material things are mixed into our relationship, it won’t be pure anymore, and I don’t want things to turn out that way."
Xing Yi saw Lin Yixun’s firm attitude and had to compromise, "Alright, I’ll take the card for now. But if your mom urgently needs money, don’t keep silent, you must tell ."
"Okay." Lin Yixun nodded solemnly.
After the al, Xing Yi sent her back to the hospital. Lin’s mother, upon learning that Lin Yixun had returned the card, couldn’t help but smile with relief.
