Chapter 155: I Trust You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Yu Jinmo sent Ling Xuewei into the room, she returned to Lin Bai’s side. She deliberately sulked sternly and put on an interrogative stance.
“Tell me the truth! What’s going on?”
Yu Jinmo started interrogating him with a straight face.
This time, Lin Bai could tell that she was actually not angry.
Or rather, she had already calmed down.
Lin Bai said, “Let’s find a place to eat and talk. Have you had dinner?”
Yu Jinmo replied, “We had some cake, but I can still have a main. Qingqing and I were going to have some Wagyu beef, but you delayed us. You have to make it up to me!”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “No problem, no problem. Which restaurant were you guys planning to go to? I’ll bring you there right now.”
Yu Jinmo said, “It’s downstairs.”
“Let’s go then.”
Lin Bai tried to hold Yu Jinmo’s hand and she didn’t dodge. As usual, she interlocked her fingers with his.
Therefore, Lin Bai was completely relieved. He knew that this little girl was indeed not angry.
She deliberately kept an austere look on her face, probably to make him nervous so that she could confirm whether she was still important to him.
‘That’s the temperament of girls.’
Lin Bai relaxed and thought to himself that the maximum luck value that the system rewarded him should still be effective.
Otherwise, just based on the scene when they met, slapping him twice would be considered a light punishment.
They might even break up on the spot.
However, in reality, Yu Jinmo had already calmed down and forgiven him before he could even begin to explain,.
Apart from luck, Lin Bai could not find any other explanation for this trust and tolerance.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Yu Jinmo said that he wanted to rip Lin Bai off so that he would learn his lesson.
However, after ordering the most expensive set meal in the restaurant, she could not help but start to worry.
“Um… do you have enough money in your card?”
She was clearly pretending to be angry a second ago, but now she had exposed her true thoughts. She was still a young girl after all and she could not hide her secret.
Lin Bai deliberately teased her and said, “It doesn’t seem to be enough. I might have to stay and wash the dishes after eating, to pay the bill.”
Yu Jinmo believed her and quickly said, “Let me get the tab then!”
She had just said that she wanted Lin Bai to learn his lesson, but now she had forgotten all about it.
Lin Bai smiled and said, “I’m just teasing you. I’m not so poor that I can’t even afford a meal.”
Only then did Yu Jinmo feel relieved. He remembered what Ling Xuewei had said before and asked, “What exactly are you working on with Miss Ling?”
Lin Bai did not want to expose his ten-billion net worth right now, so he answered casually,
“Actually, I didn’t work with her. It was Mr. A.”
“It’s just that it’s inconvenient for Mr. A to show his face, so he asked me to negotiate the contract on his behalf.”
Yu Jinmo knew that Lin Bai and Mr. A had a good relationship, so he did not suspect anything. He just curiously asked, “What kind of cooperation is it about?”
Lin Bai still casually replied, “Real estate sales. Mr. A has a property development that he wants to entrust to Miss Ling’s company to help sell.”
Yu Jinmo’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
“Miss Ling runs her own company? That’s amazing! No wonder she had such an amazing temperament. One look and you can tell she’s a career woman! Is she very outstanding in this industry?”
Lin Bai nodded. “Yes.”
Yu Jinmo’s face was filled with envy.
“When do you think I’ll be as good as her? My dad always said that he would retire in a few years and leave the company to me to manage, but I don’t know anything. Just thinking about it makes me feel pressured.”
Lin Bai smiled gently and said, “Just be yourself. There’s no need to be like anyone else.”
“You don’t have to feel stressed about inheriting the company. If you don’t know how to run a company, just learn slowly. If you can’t, you still have me. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Yu Jinmo immediately beamed with joy.
“That’s right! I have you. What am I worried about?! When the time comes, I might as well let my dad teach you directly. That way, I won’t have to go through all the trouble being the middleman.”
Lin Bai couldn’t help but laugh. ‘This silly girl really doesn’t keep her guard up at all. Isn’t she afraid that I would take the businesses for myself?’
Thinking about it again, Lin Bai felt fortunate.
Fortunately, this silly girl fell in love with him. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they might have really sold her out.
This silly girl who only knew to love him and didn’t know how to leave a way out for himself. He had to cherish her well and let her unguarded love go.
As Lin Bai thought so, Yu Jinmo, who was across the table, had just cut a small piece of steak and put it into his mouth. He felt that Yu Jinmo was staring at him, so he raised his head and asked, “Why aren’t you eating? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”
As she spoke, she touched her small face a few times, but of course, she didn’t find anything.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her voice and asked, “Do you feel that it’s too expensive so you can’t bear to eat it?”
“I already said that I’ll pay for it! Don’t feel any pressure, just eat as much as you want! You’ve treated me to so many meals, it’s only right for me to treat you back once!”
“We’ve agreed, this meal is on me, you’re not allowed to snatch the tab!”
Yu Jinmo thought that she had guessed Lin Bai’s intentions, so she very considerately comforted him and even thought of a reason.
Not only did she take care of Lin Bai’s emotions, she also saved him from any embarrassment.
She was usually silly, but at the crucial moment, her thoughts were so meticulous.
Lin Bai was touched, but he deliberately changed the topic.
“I’m not reluctant. I’m just thinking about a question. I don’t know if I should ask.”
Yu Jinmo was puzzled. “What question? Ask! What can’t we talk about?”
Lin Bai smiled. “Okay, then I’ll ask. Why did you come here?”
Lin Bai had already guessed the answer to this question.
Yu Jinmo had unintentionally said that she had eaten cake, so he guessed that she had just attended a friend’s birthday party.
However, in order to smoothly change the topic, Lin Bai still pretended not to have guessed anything and asked the obvious question.
Yu Jinmo quickly explained, “I’m here to attend my childhood friend’s birthday party!”
“It’s a female childhood friend! Don’t misunderstand!”
She was afraid that Lin Bai would think that she was here with another boy, so she quickly took out her phone and showed him the photo album.
“Here, these are all taken at the birthday party. Look, other than her boyfriend, the others are all girls.”
Yu Jinmo was about to stick her phone to Lin Bai’s face. It was difficult for Lin Bai not to look at it.
The photo was indeed taken in the suite of this resort villa. The setting was indeed the atmosphere of the birthday party.
In the group photo, there was indeed only one boy and the rest were all girls.
“Do you believe it now?”
Yu Jinmo put away his phone and asked.
Lin Bai smiled and said, “I have always believed in you. Even if you don’t show me the photos, I still believe in you.”
After a pause, Lin Bai deliberately added, “Just like how you believe in me, I believe in you too.”
