247 I’ll Write You An IOU 1 (2/2)

Having rummaged through her bag three times, Shi Yao turned to Lin Jiage with a distressed look and said, ”I think... I might have forgotten to bring my purse…”

Ah? I assumed you would anxiously say that you lost your purse, but instead, you're saying that you forgot to bring it... This memory span... Is everything else not as important as food?

Lin Jiage was silent for a moment before he whipped out his wallet from his pocket, ”It's fine, I'll pay.”

After swiping his card and signing on the receipt, Lin Jiage and Shi Yao rose to their feet and walked out of the restaurant, one after another.

A second after getting in the car, Shi Yao spoke up with a reddened face, ”About that... I wasn't trying to get out of paying for the meal. I really forgot to bring my purse…”

And as if Lin Jiage wouldn't believe her, Shi Yao even opened up her bag and passed it over to him.

Since she had messed up the contents of her bag after rummaging through it, a certain greenish, flowery packaging happened to be at the very top. Catching sight of it, Lin Jiage face burned a little as he replied with an unfathomable ”Mm” and then averted his gaze.

On the other hand, Shi Yao noticed Lin Jiage's reaction and didn't know what to make of his response.

He's the one who called her and asked her to pay back the meal she owed him, but it ended up with him paying the tab. Does he really think that I did it intentionally?

This thought left Shi Yao feeling uneasy inside. Thus, she spoke up softly once more, ”I'm really not trying to avoid buying you a meal. Why don't we do this instead? I'll pay you back for the meal just now, so treat it like I borrowed some money from you. Or maybe I can write an IOU and sign it right here for you?”

Lin Jiage's eyes remained firmly fixated on the road ahead of him as he replied, ”There's no need for that.”

”If that won't work, why don't I treat you to two meals, no, I mean three…” Before Shi Yao could finish her words, she caught sight of something through the car windows and abruptly fell silent.
