CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 370 NEW YEAR’S ARRANGEMENTS

"You really are a big player, loving everyone you meet."

Shi Yang pursed her lips and pretended to be disgusted, "But you can forget about it, a beautiful girl like me would definitely not accept your advances."

Li Jing had long anticipated Shi Yang’s response and smiled knowingly:

"I know you’re a wealthy heiress, it’s normal you wouldn’t be interested in me.

I don’t expect to win you over, I just genuinely like you from my side, have feelings for you, is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang instinctively replied:

"What does whether you can win me over have to do with me being a wealthy heiress?

I never said you definitely couldn’t, you haven’t even tried..."

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly caught herself, stopped abruptly, and a hint of panic flashed across her face as she quickly explained:

"I...I didn’t mean that, even if you tried, it definitely wouldn’t work.

Anyway, just don’t have any thoughts about me."

Finished, she quickly turned her head away, but her eyes couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Li Jing.

Shi Yang’s heart was pounding, afraid Li Jing would be angry because of her words.

Li Jing seemed unbothered by this, merely smiled lightly and continued to eat leisurely.

Watching Li Jing’s reaction, Shi Yang felt confused and unsettled.

Throughout the dinner, because Li Jing admitted his liking for her, Shi Yang’s mind was a jumble and she didn’t speak, various thoughts constantly whirling.

One moment pondering if Li Jing’s words were true or false, the next frustrated with her own confusion.

And Li Jing observed her with amusement, finding her pure and endearing, and didn’t say much more.

He quietly enjoyed the unique dining experience in the sky restaurant, occasionally glancing at Shi Yang with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The dining time at this restaurant is limited, you can’t just slowly eat indefinitely.

Initially, Li Jing was puzzled but quickly thought that since the restaurant is suspended in mid-air, if diners kept eating endlessly, it would be chaotic.

As night gradually fell and Li Jing finished his meal, he and Shi Yang discussed briefly before signaling the staff to lower the restaurant back to the ground.

After settling the bill, the two left the restaurant, ready to return to Atlantis together.

At this moment, Shi Yang’s phone rang suddenly.

After a few minutes of conversation, Shi Yang’s face became somewhat concerned.

Li Jing noticed the change and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What’s wrong?"

Shi Yang hesitated for a while before reluctantly saying:

"Our photography team still has some issues to sort out. I might not be able to join you at the hotel tonight for your massage."

Hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, and stared intently at Shi Yang without speaking.

Shi Yang saw his expression and thought he was unhappy, hastily explained:

"Don’t misunderstand, I’m not lying, the call was from the team."

She even showed her phone to Li Jing, "If you don’t believe me, you can call them, seems like there’s an issue with the post-production of the previous shoot.

I have to rush back to work with Zhang Yao and the team to revise and submit a new version tonight."

Shi Yang knew she was breaking her promise and worried Li Jing was upset, so she quickly continued:

"Don’t worry, I won’t renege on my promise.

How about this, after I’m done in the next couple of days, since I won’t be leaving Yashi anytime soon.

I’ll find you then and give you a longer massage, okay?"

Li Jing, seeing Shi Yang’s anxious expression, knew she wasn’t lying and was aware she wouldn’t deceive him, so he nodded:

"Alright, but you broke your promise this time, next time the massage will be more than an hour."

Shi Yang didn’t argue for once, nodding in agreement, "Okay, okay, I understand, I’ll give you a two-hour massage next time, is that good?

Or you can ask for something else, but I really can’t accompany you today."

Seeing Shi Yang in such a rush, Li Jing didn’t want to delay her further, so he said:

"Alright then, I’ve called a car, you can take it straight back, don’t waste time."

Shi Yang was a bit surprised at Li Jing’s quick agreement.

In Shi Yang’s perception, Li Jing always likes to take advantage of her, finding ways to "tease" her.

She thought now that she’s breaking her promise, Li Jing wouldn’t let her go easily.

But Li Jing agreed so readily, leaving her momentarily bewildered.

Shi Yang, full of confusion, couldn’t help but confirm again, "Are you really letting me go?"

Li Jing chuckled, teasing:

"What else? Tie you up and take you to the hotel?

Note how gentlemanly and understanding I am."

"You think too much, I never thought that."

Shi Yang rolled her eyes, but looking at Li Jing, she felt something different stirring.

She realized she hasn’t completely understood the person before her.

Maybe he’s not so unpleasant after all.

Soon, the car Li Jing called stopped steadily by the roadside.

Shi Yang gave Li Jing one last look, pursed her lips, and with a slightly aloof and proud manner, said:

"Seems like you do have some virtues after all."

Then, she seriously promised Li Jing:

"Since you’re so straightforward letting me leave, next time I will definitely give you a massage, definitely won’t break my promise again.
