Wang Dahai's head buzzed, thinking he must have heard wrong, assuming she had tripped over her tongue and misspoke.
Yan Jing was equally stunned, clearly not expecting Xu Xixi to be so direct.
She buried herself in shame under the covers, pretending to be asleep and not making a sound.
Wang Dahai had no idea what had gotten into her, but he was sure he wouldn't agree, and without a word, he turned and left.
Xu Xixi didn't continue to call out; she slept for a while and, seeing Yan Jing was no longer fidgeting, finally settled down and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Wang Dahai got up early to go to work.
Staying at Lin Wanqiu's place had given him a sense of reliance on others, but working at Liu Lin's business did not evoke such feelings.
He was grateful to Liu Lin for offering him a job, but his personal abilities stood out, and because of his contribution, the store's sales had significantly increased from before.
