The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 32

Uncle, Help Me Pay Up

After slogging for an entire afternoon, Jian Dan felt that her legs were about to break from running around. She finally settled everything.

It was finally time to knock off…

On the way home, Jian Dan saw roasted sweet potatoes and was immediately attracted by the fragrance. Only then did Jian Dan realize that she had eaten nothing except breakfast in the morning. No wonder she was so hungry now.

“Sir, give me one.”

Without further ado, she had to get one.

“12 yuan.”

“I’ll pay via WeChat Pay!”

Jian Dan took the roasted sweet potato with one hand and ate it eagerly. She took out her cell phone with the other and prepared to make payment.

“I don’t have WeChat Pay.”

The old man looked troubled.

Jian Dan’s next actions also came to an abrupt halt…

“You don’t?”

There were still places without WeChat Pay?

“Lass, I’m old. I don’t know how to use those high-tech things.”

This time, it was Jian Dan’s turn to scratch her head.

Who would bring cash nowadays?

Oh no! What should I do? I’ve already eaten it…

Helpless, she could only call Chu Liyuan. “Uncle? Are you busy?”

Jian Dan held a roasted sweet potato in one hand and her cell phone in the other with a helpless expression…

Chu Liyuan found Jian Dan’s tone a little strange. “What’s wrong?”

“Uncle, are you still at the office?”

This place was very close to the company. It was only a five-minute walk.

“Yes!”

Chu Liyuan casually flipped through the documents.

“Hehe… If you just happen to be not busy and just happen to have cash, can you come to the roasted sweet potato stall near your company to pay for me?” Jian Dan wished she could hide under a rock now. It was really too embarrassing.

Two minutes later…

Chu Liyuan came to the roasted sweet potato stall and glanced at Jian Dan. Jian Dan lowered her head in embarrassment. Chu Liyuan then turned his gaze to the old man selling sweet potatoes. “How much?”

“12 yuan.”

She actually asked him to make a trip for just 12 yuan. This lass actually did not even have 12 yuan.

After Chu Liyuan paid the old man, he held Jian Dan’s hand and returned to the car. Jian Dan—who was in the front passenger seat—cautiously raised her head and stole a glance at Chu Liyuan… She realized that Chu Liyuan was looking at her.

Jian Dan smiled awkwardly. “Hehe! He did not have WeChat Pay, so…”

Did youngsters nowadays not bring cash with them when they went out?

“Gulp.” Jian Dan’s stomach growled just then.

Jian Dan hurriedly covered her stomach.

Was she hungry? How long had it been since she last ate?

Chu Liyuan took the roasted sweet potato from Jian Dan’s hand—peeled off the skin—and brought it to her mouth. “Why didn’t you have your meal?”

“I was so busy that I forgot.”

She took a bite of the sweet potato and said with a smile.

“Don’t do it again.”

This lass actually didn’t eat her meal. She was so good at nagging him about it.

How could she forget everything when it came to herself?

“I promise!”

Jian Dan placed her hand on her forehead and promised.

Chu Liyuan’s expression was really serious, but Jian Dan knew that he was worried about her.

When she saw that he had rushed over less than two minutes after receiving her phone call, she knew how well he treated her!

“Uncle, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

Tsk, he clearly hadn’t eaten yet too, but he still scolded her.

Jian Dan brought the sweet potato to his mouth. “Uncle, have a bite too!”

This roasted sweet potato was rather fragrant…

The roasted sweet potato was quickly finished by Jian Dan and Chu Liyuan.

“Uncle, I’m not full yet. Treat me to dinner!”

How could half a roasted sweet potato fill Jian Dan’s tummy?

“What do you want to eat?”

He knew that the roasted sweet potato would not be enough for this lass! After spending some time with her, he knew her appetite well.

“Something expensive!”

Chu Liyuan was so rich. It did not seem right for her not to help him spend some money.

Why did this lass change her personality today?

His lass must be pampered. If this lass could eat him out of house and home, it was also a superpower!

“Buckle up. Let’s go.”
