Chapter 978


    Was he trying to imply that she looked ugly?


    Angeline refused to fall into his trap and said proudly, "When I look at my bare face, it makes me


    wonder where this goddess has descended from.”


    Jay''s lips twitched violently. "What a boast."


    Angeline said, "I''m just telling the truth."


    Jay looked at Angeline as she smiled sweetly, and for some inexplicable reasons, he thought that


    this shedevil did not seem so annoying after all.


    On the contrary, her innocence actually made her seem quite cute.


    "Why are you in business?" he asked curiously.


    He always thought that Angeline had a soft and adorable personality instead of the manly and tough


    personality that she pretended to have.


    Doing business did not fit her character at all.


    Angeline let out a forlorn sigh. "This is a promise I made to him."

    Jay listened attentively.


    Angeline said, "I once promised him that I can be both a creeper nt that needs support or a


    sturdy tree that can stand independently."


    She paused before continuing, "Now that he''s gone, I have to be strong like a tree. Just like him, my


    branches and leaves will stretch upward, helping the weak to reach up to the sky. I will plunge my


    roots deep into the ground and be fearless when the stormes."


    Jay was astonished. Angeline''s words hadpletely challenged the previous misconceptions he


    had about her.


    It turned out that women were not necessarily tender and spineless. They could also be tender but


    tough like Angeline too.


    "Who is he?" he asked curiously.


    "Huh?" Angeline was slightly dazed.


    "I admire that man for teaching you so well," he said.


    Angeline was stunned.


    He just called her a boast, did he not?


    Talk about the pot calling the kettle ck!


    "My Jaybie." Angeline smiled resplendently.


    Jay nodded as if he understood.


    When Jay went to pay the bill after the meal, the cashier told him, "Sir, thatdy has already paid


    the bill."


    Jay questioned Angeline with a cold face, "How much? I''ll pay you back."


    Angelineughed. "Didn''t we agree to it already? You''ll treat and I''ll pay."


    Jay was slightly startled. He had fallen into thisdy''s trap.


    Angeline noticed the defeated look on his face andughed. "We''re the same. My money is your


    money, your money... is still your money. It doesn''t really matter who pays the bills."


    What kind of messed up logic was this?!


    Angeline did not notice how sullen Jay’s ice-sculptured face had be.


    "Since we’re the same, can you let me use your bank card then?" Jay teased.


    He was certain that Angeline would be reluctant to share her wealth with him.


    Angeline stared nkly at him...


    Jay looked coldly at her. "You can''t bring yourself to d o it, right?"


    "Next time, use your brain before you speak. Don’t let sex hormones influence you when you tease


    men."


    Angeline, however, was so filled with emotions that she grabbed his hand. "That''s what you said.


    You can''t go back on your word."


    Jay,"..."


    Angeline took out her purse from her handbag and drew out all her bank cards before saying with


    great excitement. "Look, take whichever you want."


    Jay was dumbfounded!


    "I was just saying." Jay ground his teeth in secret. His dashing face was darker than the bottom of a


    pan.


    This woman was really generous to him, huh?


    Was she attempting to make him her sugar baby?


    When Angeline noticed his sullen expression, she put the cards back into her handbag in silence.


    When they left the hotel, Jay carried himself coldly and loftily like a man of abstinence who had an


    advanced case of male chauvinism. He bade farewell t o Angeline in a breezy manner. "I''m leaving,


    goodbye."
