"Ugh …" "Alright …"

Autumn Leaf didn't understand why he was so displeased. She obediently sat down at the dining table, but she couldn't conceal the joy she felt in her heart.

Zhuang Shili looked at the dishes on the table and frowned. Was this what she meant by breakfast? The light millet porridge, the fried eggs that were just right in the middle of the fire, the sandwich that was grilled to the point of being tender on the outside, and a few light dishes. They were as plain and light as her people.

Breakfast, he liked to drink strong coffee, which made him energetic all day, occasionally eating a few slices of bread. Although he didn't eat much, the food on the breakfast table had never looked so shabby.

He could not imagine what the taste of such light porridge would be like. Looking at the smiling face of a certain woman, he asked with great difficulty,

"No coffee?"

"You want coffee?"

she exclaimed.

"How can you drink coffee in the morning? It's too harmful to the stomach. Drinking rice porridge in the morning is more nutritious!"

She continued to talk like a chattering little daughter-in-law.

His expression became increasingly unsightly, but because she was always in a state of excitement from the morning until now, she didn't notice his displeasure at all. On the contrary, she even obsequiously made him into a big bowl of porridge.

He hesitated for a moment and could not bear to refuse her eyes that were filled with expectation. Frowning, he received it. The white porcelain bowl and the light yellow millet porridge seemed so pleasing to the eye.

He closed his eyes and took a sip. It was a sweet yet slightly astringent sensation, like the feeling she gave him. The taste was light but tempting. He didn't know if it was because he was hungry or for some other reason, but the end result was that he drank two bowls of millet congee in one go and ate the fried eggs as well.

She talked a lot today, and did not eat at all that morning. She sat across from him, blinking, and told him that when she was a child her dream had been to be a translator behind the head of state, and she felt that it was very mysterious.

She said that now that she had entered the school she had dreamed of, she felt that she was one step closer to her dream. Such a simple and sincere wish, coupled with her clear and harmless smile, inexplicably caused a faint ache in the depths of his heart.

He suddenly thought, he had been raised to be the successor of the Dragon Gate since he was young, and every day he would live a life of bloodshed. Shouldn't he forcefully drag her, who was so innocent and pure, into his life?

After they finished their breakfast and left the manor, Autumn Leaf couldn't wait to call Liangqiu and Shu Can and announce their good news. The two of them were as excited as she was, especially Liangqiu, who was itching to fly back to the country and celebrate for her.

Instead, she calmed down a lot and lost her initial excitement. Now, all that was left in her heart was gratitude. Maybe God wasn't as cruel as she thought. He only gave her misery and pain.

Perhaps, that man wasn't too bad. If not for his domineering insistence, she might have crossed paths with her dreams for the rest of her life.

In the afternoon, when she was preparing to go to the coffee shop to work, Long Yi suddenly arrived. She happily greeted him, and her clear and beautiful face was brimming with happiness.

"Big brother Long, why are you here?"

"This is a gift from Brother Li. Congratulations on being accepted!"

Dragon One took out the box in his hand and stared at her with a complicated expression.

"A gift?"

Didn't he say that the gift he gave her was a trip? Why did he send this back?

Puzzled, he opened the delicate package. Inside, there was a stylish looking cell phone with a pure black shell. Looking from the front, it looked no different from a normal cell phone on the market.

"Eh? Mobile phone? Why did you give me a cell phone? "

She turned the phone over and over in her hand as she looked up at Dragon One in confusion. However, she was startled by the deep look on his face.

She was somewhat puzzled, thinking that there was nothing abnormal about her, so she couldn't help but lower her head to carefully examine herself. After discovering that there were no problems, she asked.

"Big brother Long? What's the matter with you? "

"No …." "Nothing much …"

Dragon One withdrew his gaze.

He did not forget the shock he felt when he received the manor's order. His boss had actually gifted her a phone that belonged to the Dragon Gate?

The name of this phone was "Exclusive". It was given to his intimate lover by the man from the Dragon Gate. Although it wasn't only for his legal wife, it also represented the importance of this woman in his heart.

What did this mean? He was really getting more and more confused about his boss. Didn't he buy her to have fun?

Seeing her puzzled expression, he just said,

"Brother Li said that your phone is too old. It's time to change it to a new one!"

He did not tell her the significance of the phone, nor did he tell her that it already had a GPS installed. As long as she had this phone, no matter where she was, the people from Longmen City would find her immediately.

"Oh …"

Autumn Leaf took out her cell phone. Indeed, it was rather worn out, with many of the numbers on the keys already erased. Sometimes, it was very difficult for her to send a text message.

"Then, thank you!"

She did not refuse again. She put away her phone, while Tiantian thanked Long Li.

"I think you should tell Brother Li that!"

Dragon Li glanced at her, then turned around and left.

Autumn Leaf was left dumbfounded. That's right, she should've said thank you to him. Thank you for the cellphone, thank you for the time when he decisively changed her choice for her.

Now that she thought about it, it seemed that he had not given her a lot of help, helping her go abroad in the autumn, helping her drive away her uncle's family, and she was able to attend this school due to his decisive decision. No matter how unhappy she was at the beginning, she was still a beneficiary.

His fingers hesitantly slid across the keyboard of his phone. In the end, he edited two words, "Thank you". Then, he closed his eyes and sent the message.

Not expecting any response, she grabbed her bag and rushed back to the coffee shop. On the bus, a notification suddenly popped up on her phone. She took it out and saw that it was a text message from him!

Her breath quickened as she switched on her phone with a sense of joy in her heart. However, there was only one word that entered her vision: "Ok."

She held the phone and burst out laughing. She said, "Thank you," and he replied, "En?" What kind of logic was this? Speak... Could he have sent it wrong?

While he was thinking this, his subordinate couldn't help but edit the message, "Sorry, could you have sent it incorrectly?"

After a while, the phone rang again. She hurriedly opened it, but the content was still as simple as before, but this time it was only two words: "No," plus a big exclamation mark.

Completely speechless, she angrily closed her cell phone and refused to reply. In his heart, he was thinking that this person was really arrogant. Even if he gave her a present, she would politely thank him. But his "En" was arrogantly expressing her gratitude to him, as if she was taking it all.

Ever since Shu Can had learned that Autumn Leaf had been accepted, she had been clamoring every day about giving her a present. Since she couldn't refuse, she had no choice but to accept it. Thus, after one day of hard work, she was dragged by Shu Can to the shopping mall.

However, when she saw that she was standing in the high-end underwear store of the shopping mall, she couldn't help but stare in horror.

"Senior sister Can, you … You're not going to give this to me, are you? "

Shu-hsiang painted a strong smoky makeup, and her purity in contrast. Placing her hands in the pockets of her jeans, she ran her hands along the rows of sexy and seductive underwear, with a matter-of-fact tone.

"That's right! After thinking about it, I decided to give you a sexy set of undergarments. "

"Cough, cough ~ ~ ~"

Autumn Leaf was so shocked by her words that she almost vomited blood. Her face was red as she hastily pulled her to the side.

"Boss, what do you mean, 'practical benefits'? "I don't need these things. Let's hurry up and leave. You'd better give me something else!"

Shu Can pulled her back and glanced at her blushing face.

"I say, what are you harming yourself for? At least you're a man. You should use your heart in this. If he falls in love with you, wouldn't you have made a huge profit?"

"Hey, hey, hey, senior!" Don't spout nonsense! "

Shocked, she glared at Shu Can, a trace of indescribable panic flashing through her heart.

Love? It had never occurred to her that he loved her, or that she loved him. She subconsciously thought, how could such an unsightly transaction of money possibly have anything to do with love?
