"Uh, this..."
Now it was Lu Jincheng's turn to fall silent, his previous smile fading away.
"What's the matter, shouldn't you explain yourself properly to me? Go ahead, I really want to hear your reasons."
Ji Yao curled her lips into a meaningful smile, leisurely watching him.
Meeting her deep gaze somehow made Lu Jincheng feel like she saw right through him.
Embarrassed for no apparent reason, he also blamed himself for acting impulsively, only thinking about showing off in front of Ji Yao and forgetting about his own bankruptcy.
And there it was, he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
He quickly racked his brains and pondered over his choice of words before finally speaking up.
"That, Ji Yao, don't misunderstand, this store is familiar to me, the owner and I are acquainted, so you can pick a dress for free."
After thinking for so long, he had concocted another far-fetched excuse, much like the one about the head chef before.
