Chapter 25 - Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland (2/2)

“Who is an incurable rascal?” Jason expressed his dissatisfaction.

“Later I’ll ask Ike to make a list of how often you have had free meals at my house!” Jin Xiangdong promptly provided a well-founded reason for his statement.

Upon hearing his words Jason realized that his foundation was shaky at best to continue resisting, but he was still reluctant to admit his mistake. “That’s because Ike likes me and lets me help it order food!”

Jin Xiangdong said nothing following Jason’s defense and then he asked Lu Jia’er, who was next to him, “Professor Lu, how has everything gone so far this morning?”

“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland!” Lu Jia’er replied.

Hearing her reply, he sighed as his mouth corners lifted. “Then that makes me the White Rabbit?”

“Ah, so I am the Mad Hatter?” Jason smoothly entered the topic.

“You are the Blue Caterpillar!” Jin Xiangdong corrected.

Lu Jia’er was amused. Although the time she’d spent with the two men was very short, through the playful banter in their conversation, she knew that they must be very good friends in private, and that they were absolutely a pair of working partners that had a lot of trust in one another.

“Whatever you say doesn’t matter. You have to ask Professor Lu!” Jason rejected the role that Jin Xiangdong had given him.

Lu Jia’er smiled and said, “It seems that you two must have read many fairy tales during your childhood!”

“I did not read fairy tales. I have just watched the movie!” Jason replied.

“What did your words just now reveal?” Jin Xiangdong said as he had his meal.

“I am single!” Jason immediately admitted with a candid statement.
