If not for her grandmother’s command to repay a debt, she would have walked away long ago! But her mission was incomplete – in other words, she hadn’t yet helped the business-failed Chu Fantian get back on his feet, so how could she face her grandmother?
“Speak!” Her silence irritated him.
“I worked so hard to get this invitation, just wanting to see what a rich people’s banquet is like. So, Chu Fantian, I rarely come to such an event. Can you accompany me to check it out?”
Huh? How did she turn the conversation so quickly?
Honestly, he had never been soft-hearted because of a woman’s tears, but Tang Ke Shan…
Damn! He couldn’t agree to her request.
He didn’t want to be pestered endlessly, so he must refuse.
So he said, “You can go in by yourself…”
“I know I can go in by myself, but I’m scared.” She said this, squeezing out another string of tears.
Heaven knows, she wanted him to attend this banquet to help him.
She wanted everyone to know that although his company had collapsed, he could still stand tall and wouldn’t be defeated.
Of course, according to her grandmother’s standard of repaying a debt, helping him rebuild his business empire was also necessary.
“What are you afraid of?” Chu Fantian raised an eyebrow.
Remembering how she had just dealt with Sun Shijie and Lin Yue so eloquently, he couldn’t imagine what she would be afraid of.
“I heard that these rich people’s banquets often have many predatory men… Chu Fantian, for the sake of me helping you earlier, can you accompany me and protect me?” She looked up at his tall figure, pleading.
He looked down at her delicate, fragile form, saying nothing.
Reason and emotion began to struggle within him.
He hated such hypocritical occasions and didn’t want to attend. But he couldn’t let her go alone. He… damn it, what was this feeling? He was actually worried?
“Okay! I know you’re the best,” she said.
