Tao Yu cleared her throat: “So I want to date you.”
“…”
Seeing Yue Linze suddenly go silent, Tao Yu became a bit worried she might have said something offensive. Just as she was thinking of changing the subject, she heard Yue Linze say casually, “Then let’s date.”
Tao Yu: “…Huh?”
“I said I’d give you a reward,” Yue Linze glanced at her sideways, seeing her still looking confused, he suppressed his irritation and said flatly, “Didn’t expect you to be so troublesome.”
…Boss, you’re the one who’s coveting my looks, so stop using ‘reward’ as an excuse. And which decent girl would like your first reward? Only a pervert would!
But he’s the boss, and she’s just a small shrimp working for him, so she appropriately showed some excitement, then pursed her lips: “But I don’t want to force you or make you think I’m trying to take advantage.”
“You think you could force me?” A hint of impatience flashed in Yue Linze’s eyes.
Tao Yu blinked, laughing: “Seems like not. So we’re really going to date?”
“What do you think?” Yue Linze countered.
Tao Yu’s smile grew brighter: “Of course. Don’t worry, Linze, I’ll treat you well.” Until all his hostility is gone, she would play the role of an excellent girlfriend perfectly.
Compared to the deep hatred with Gu Yansheng and others, the hostility caused by her was like an egg hitting a stone – likely to be resolved quickly.
Thinking about how her mission was turning bright, her smile became more genuine. Yue Linze glanced at her, expressionless, and lay down on the bed, then patted the space beside him.
Tao Yu: “…?”
“Come here,” Yue Linze frowned.
Tao Yu’s mouth twitched: “Sir, even dating couples rarely lie together on the first day.” Yet, she obediently walked over and lay down, because she had refused so many times before, and further refusal might truly anger him.
“This won’t happen again,” she thought. The current hostility wasn’t deeply rooted – with some sweet treatment and improving his mood, she believed she could resolve it.
Seeing her relatively obedient, Yue Linze’s furrowed brow relaxed. After she slowly lay down, he immediately turned off the light and pulled her into his embrace.
