The lady boss served a plate of snacks. Listening to the couple’s conversation, she smiled and said, “You young couple seem to have a really good relationship. Little lady, did your boyfriend make money today? Don’t just ask him to buy you dinner. He has to buy you some clothes too.”
In the eyes of the snack bar owner, Jasper had made hundreds or thousands at best. She would never have imagined that the man sitting in her shop and eating a fried nugget had just earned 3.1 billion.
Wendy chuckled. “Did you hear that?”
“I heard that. Buy, buy everything.” Jasper picked up a fried nugget and brought it to Wendy’s mouth. “Hurry up and eat. You must be starving.”
Seeing the fried nugget in front of her mouth, Wendy was stunned for a while, wondering if she should open her mouth and eat it.
Before this, when the lady boss mentioned their relationship, Wendy did not care. Rather, she did not want to care. Now, however, Jasper’s behavior made her a little bit shy.
Jasper also noticed that his actions were a little improper. Just when he was looking for an excuse, Wendy opened her mouth and gently bit into the fried nugget.
While chewing slowly, Wendy dared not look at Jasper at all. She lowered her head as if savoring the taste of this treat.
Seeing the bashful and charming girl in front of him while also considerate and fearful that she could not recover from her embarrassment, Jasper chuckled lightly.
Triumph in both business and love life. Since his life had ended up like this, what else could he ask for?
After supper, Jasper and Wendy chatted as they walked toward her house in the county.
As the daughter of the richest man in the province, of course, Dawson would not let Wendy suffer. Although he agreed to let her conceal her identity at work, he also bought a large house in the best community in the county for her. It was usually occupied by Wendy alone.
At the door of the house, Wendy said with some regret, “I’m home.”
Why was it so fast?
The girl was a little annoyed. The distance should be quite far.
“I’ll be going back, then,” Jasper said.
Today, the relationship between the two had advanced a step, but before any affirmation, Jasper naturally would not do anything improper.
Nodding her head, Wendy suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, are you free in a few days? Come with me to the provincial capital.”
Jasper immediately understood that he was about to visit Dawson Schuler, the future father-in-law. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
“Aren’t you going to ask me what we’ll be doing in the provincial capital?” Jasper’s decisiveness made Wendy a little confused.
“It can’t be to see the future in-laws, right?” Jasper told the truth half-jokingly.
Wendy was so embarrassed that she stomped her feet and said, “How clever of you!”
After speaking, she slipped back into the house as if she wanted to escape and slammed the door shut.
Jasper recalled Wendy’s beautiful yet shy and embarrassed appearance as he left with a smile.
