“How much was that bottle of champagne you just ordered?”

Li Shuru asked.

“Seems like it was over thirty thousand, what’s up?”

Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly, as if talking about three yuan instead of thirty thousand.

Indeed, it’s really not painful when it’s not your own money being spent.

Li Shuru fell silent.

With her current wealth, she could afford champagne that cost over thirty thousand, but it wasn’t necessary.

“Don’t you think it’s a bit wasteful to drink such expensive champagne?”

Without trying to pretend to be generous, Li Shuru still raised the point,

“I just think that, for our first date, we should drink something nice.”

Jiang Chen seemed to belatedly realize the impropriety of his action.

He naturally wasn’t a connoisseur of wine, and Li Shuru might be a bit more knowledgeable than him, but probably not by much.

In reality, for most people, drinking a champagne worth tens of thousands and one costing a few hundred makes almost no difference.

“…Should I call the waiter over and return the bottle?”

“Forget it.”

Li Shuru shook her head.

Although she felt it was a waste, she was the one who invited him, and had said he could order whatever he wanted, so it wouldn’t be good to go back on her word now.

Moreover, compared to the favor Jiang Chen had done for her, a few tens of thousands for a bottle of champagne was nothing.

Even if Jiang Chen intentionally ripped her off, she was willing to accept it.

And besides, being in such a high-end place as Bertus, ordering and then returning would be embarrassing.

“I drove here, so I can’t drink.

You’ll have to finish it by yourself later.”

Li Shuru said calmly.

Jiang Chen was astonished, “How can I finish it on my own?”

“If you can’t finish it, take it with you.

Since you ordered it, you should handle it.

Such an expensive bottle of champagne can’t go to waste,”

Li Shuru said, looking at him with a threatening glimmer in her eyes.

This kind of “threat” was obviously quite different from before.

Jiang Chen was unfazed, meeting her gaze squarely with a meaningful tone, “Shu Rui, I didn’t expect you to be so thrifty.”

“You’re not spending your money, so of course, you don’t feel the pinch,”

Li Shuru said bluntly.

Jiang Chen smiled.

This was the proper way to communicate.

The old Li Shuru was like a perennial slab of glacial ice, cold and impenetrable, allowing no point of attack.

Now, she was more like a flesh-and-blood human being.

They say that the first step in pursuing a girl is the most crucial.

Once you take that first step, you’ve succeeded by more than half.

Even the most exalted goddesses are no different from ordinary girls once you bring them down from their pedestal.

“I said I would treat you, did you think I was joking?”

Jiang Chen said earnestly.

Li Shuru didn’t respond, clearly not taking his words to heart.

Even the affluent would consider a thirty thousand yuan bottle of champagne extravagant, let alone a young man working odd jobs and studying frugally.

“Shu Rui, what a coincidence.”

A few young men passed by, one of them glanced at Li Shuru inadvertently, then stopped in surprise.

He had a demeanor somewhat similar to Liang Zhenlun, but he was more pleasing to the eye,

“And who is this?”

He turned his gaze to Jiang Chen.

“Hello, Jiang Chen, Shu Rui’s senior,”

Jiang Chen politely stood up, showing neither humility nor arrogance.

The man sized him up and then nodded with a smile.

“Hello, I’m Xiang Xingren, a friend of Shu Rui’s,”

After exchanging greetings, Xiang Xingren did not linger.

He moved away with his friends and sat down at a nearby table.

They kept glancing over, laughing and discussing something.

“One of your admirers?”

Settling back into his seat, Jiang Chen asked with poised composure.

“No, just someone I met at the bar,”

From Li Shuru’s expression, one could tell that she didn’t have a particularly close relationship with that Xiang Xingren.

“They’re definitely discussing the nature of our relationship right now, believe me?”

Jiang Chen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, not needing to look back to know they were being watched.

“What relationship is that?”

Li Shuru said indifferently.

This girl was truly different.

Some girls, especially the playful ones, would go out of their way to pretend they were single even if they had boyfriends, but she was different; she seemed to not care at all about being misunderstood or about the opinions of others.

“I’m just worried about affecting your reputation outside,”

Upon hearing this, the corners of Li Shuru’s mouth ticked up in a semi-smile.

“Isn’t this exactly what you wanted to see?”

Jiang Chen was all righteousness as he immediately said, “Shu Rui, you’re thinking too narrowly of me.

I do want to pursue you, but I would never resort to such despicable tactics.”

Li Shuru was noncommittal.

“Bertus, it appears to still be from ’07.

This guy, doesn’t show his true face.”

Seeing the wine at Li Shuru’s table, one of Xiang Xingren’s friends was quite surprised.

It seemed only then that Xiang Xingren thought it natural.

For a girl like Li Shuru to actually date an ordinary student would be the real surprise.

Quite obviously.

He would never guess who was treating this meal.

“Bertus, a toast to you both for your fine taste,”

Not all rich young masters are arrogant and conceited; at least Xiang Xingren was quite humble and easygoing, taking the initiative to come over and offer a toast.

“This guy’s not bad, he’s got class; that’s a man from a prominent family for you,”

Jiang Chen remarked.

“Are you feeling utterly inferior?”

Li Shuru didn’t even lift her head.

Jiang Chen chuckled and said nothing.

“That’s hardly the case.

Although he’s certainly charming, I’m not bad myself,”

The cutlery in Li Shuru’s hands paused for a moment.

“Have you ever dined alone with him?”

Jiang Chen asked casually.

Li Shuru remained silent, the cutlery once again moving.

“There you have it, you’ve never dined alone with him.

On that point alone, don’t I have the upper hand?”

Jiang Chen rambled on, full of confidence.

Li Shuru didn’t contradict him, simply focusing on her meal.

“Such good wine, aren’t you going to have some?”

“Enjoy it yourself,”

Jiang Chen didn’t press, sipping his drink while muttering, “Such expensive wine, yet not as tasty as a simple beverage.”

Li Shuru’s expression didn’t change, as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

Women tend not to eat much, and Li Shuru was the first to put down her utensils, elegantly wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

Then, she picked up her bag, took out her wallet, and pulled out a credit card.

“What are you doing?”

Jiang Chen asked, puzzled by the credit card pushed in front of him.

“When you settle the bill later, use this card,”

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, instantly understanding her thoughtful intention.

Without a doubt, this was Li Shuru considering his dignity, going out of her way to give him the card and let him pay the bill.

“There’s no need for that; I’ll take care of it myself,”

Jiang Chen was somewhat touched, but he had no intention of accepting Li Shuru’s kindness.

Although this meal wouldn’t cost “much,” even a mosquito’s leg is still flesh—he had to find a way to increase his “investment,” or else where would the substantial returns come from later?

Just then, Li Shuru’s phone rang. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

She took it out and glanced at it.

“I need to take this call,”

Jiang Chen nodded.

Li Shuru stood up and left.

Jiang Chen looked at the credit card still lying on the table, picking it up.
