Fierce Lady vs. Cheeky Puppy

The young man's survival instincts were lacking. He couldn't help it.

It was definitely useful to think before he spoke, but Wang Yan's emotional intelligence was just not there yet. The habit of thinking before he spoke wouldn't help him master the art of conversation overnight.

Liu Li's face darkened, but Wang Yan was unaware of what he'd done wrong. He only came to the realization that he'd said something wrong when he replayed the sentence in his head.

That was two mistakes in a row.

First, the subject of his joke was clearly a mistake. It was acceptable to joke with Liu Li, but bringing her best friend into the picture might have made her a little uncomfortable.

Secondly, he had overlooked Liu Li's efforts.

She wasn't helping him for that 6,500 dollars. Instead, she helped him because his idea was fascinating and she wanted to help him save that money. Lastly, she might have wanted to take this chance to introduce him to her best friends.
