Spending her man's money

Seeing that frown sitting on her face, he released a deep sigh.

He had indeed gotten himself a girlfriend. One who was fesity in nature.

He also had to get into this role of arguing with someone, placating and comforting, plus giving in. 

He had indeed gotten himself into something so deep.

Choosing to compromise a bit to get the muscles on her face to relax, he said with his gaze on her.

"I have an ongoing project, and the reason I do not want to say anything to you is because it's a surprise."

Releasing a soft sigh, he continued, "Surprises are meant to be discovered in due time."

If he said anything to her about it now that he wasn't done working around it, the effect wouldn't be as strong when compared if he left her find it out at the right time.

Zhang Liling glanced his way as she put her hands down. "Maybe I should continue to keep mute about my own project."
