CHAPTER 141: CHAPTER 141: THE YOUNG WOMAN IS VERY SHREWD

Lin Banxia didn’t expect him to throw the question back at her, asking for her thoughts.

How should she respond so as not to anger this man?

"I think what he said is wrong. Mr. Huo has achieved his status and accomplishments today not by deceiving women but surely as a man of his word, a true gentleman," Lin Banxia praised him generously.

Everyone likes to hear flattering words, right?

Yet, there was no sign of joy on Yan Ting’s face. He simply replied in a calm voice, "I don’t care what you think. I have my own principles in doing things. You’re right; I have what I have today, not by relying on anyone, but entirely through my own efforts."

Lin Banxia paused for a moment, then began to ponder on her own.

Could his response be considered a confirmation of her statement?

In other words, he wouldn’t break his promise to her, right?

Yan Ting glanced sideways at the woman beside him. On her beautiful, tranquil face, only her lovely peach blossom eyes flashed.

A smile unintentionally spread across his heart, and even he didn’t notice his lips curling up slightly.

In the end, Lin Banxia was convinced that Yan Ting would not betray her or her pear garden.

Consequently, her mood immediately improved.

Yan Ting didn’t want to expose her little tricks either. Actually, watching the way her cunning big eyes flickered as she thought, he inexplicably found it very endearing.

Realizing this, Yan Ting was somewhat surprised at himself, and then he mocked himself a bit.

This woman’s charm wasn’t significant, but because she had left a deep impression on him since childhood, he now paid more attention to her, perhaps.

It must be this.

They arrived at the restaurant for dinner, which was a very high-end Western restaurant.

The two were seated by the window, and it was evident that Yan Ting was a distinguished guest here. As soon as they entered, the dining manager hurried over to fawn over him and lead them to their seats.

Yan Ting seemed to enjoy his distinguished status calmly. At ease with wealth, yet not indulging in power, perhaps such a man is the most refined among people, naturally superior to others.

Lin Banxia sneakily thought about these trivial matters as she sat down, glancing out to see the breathtaking city night view.

Throwing those little thoughts aside, Lin Banxia was immediately captivated by the beautiful scenery in front of her.

"Did you book this spot long ago?" Lin Banxia couldn’t help but ask.

But Yan Ting replied indifferently, "This is my exclusive spot; no one is allowed here without my consent."

Lin Banxia was taken aback, her beautiful eyes blinking, as if questioning, yet too shy to voice it out.

"This is my family’s restaurant!" Yan Ting’s words unravel her confusion.

No wonder, being his own territory, he naturally has the authority.

The dishes served were the most exquisite delicacies. Lin Banxia was not a picky eater, so she quietly savored the delicious steak.

The dining atmosphere was relatively quiet; the tables and chairs around were quite far, making it feel like a candlelit dinner for two.

"I haven’t given you a wedding ring yet. Tomorrow, I’ll have a pair custom-made, couple rings. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to take them off." With a glance up, Yan Ting suddenly noticed the little thing opposite was dressed too plainly, frowned slightly, and blurted out this sentence.

"Ah, no need, no need to waste money on that. It’s not necessary," Lin Banxia replied so frankly, naturally considering that they were not in a real marriage relationship, so she didn’t take it to heart.

However, to Yan Ting’s ears, these words were particularly jarring.

"If you don’t wear the ring I give you, whose ring do you plan to wear?" The man’s thin lips pressed together, and his voice sank, immediately exuding a sense of danger and pressure.
