296: Rich women are hard to please

[Li Mengyao: Seeing that you have a good attitude in admitting your mistake, This Miss will forgive you]

[Li Mengyao: So when do you plan to come over and make amends?]

Ye Su didn't feel any aversion to Li Mengyao's willful attitude.

On one hand, he knew she was joking; on the other hand, Li Mengyao's words happened to provide him with a reason to visit.

"I was still thinking about what excuse to use to naturally bring gifts to her door, but I didn't expect the excuse to deliver itself."

Just as Ye Su was editing a message to send over, Li Mengyao added another sentence.

[Li Mengyao: This Miss doesn't really care about you coming over, but the two at home have been mentioning you again these past few days, asking why you haven't visited in so long. That's why I reluctantly sent you a message]

Ye Su had long since grown accustomed to this young mistress's tsundere nature. Seeing her send an extra message, he didn't think much of it and casually sent the message he had edited.

[Tomorrow afternoon, then. I happen to have time to head over, and I'll bring some gifts for your parents while I'm at it]

Tomorrow is Saturday, and Chen Xinyi is going to join the crew to start shooting a short drama. She said she has to shoot from morning till night every day.

At that time, let alone having dinner together, it would be a miracle if she could even come back to sleep.

So starting tomorrow, Ye Su would be all alone for the next week or so, and he needed to find other buddies to pass the time with.

Going to Li Mengyao's house for dinner would just happen to help him get through tomorrow first.

As for tonight, Ye Su still planned to have a bit of a conscience and accompany Chen Xinyi for the evening, so she couldn't say he hadn't even had dinner with her.

[Li Mengyao: What gift are you going to bring?]

Ye Su kept her in suspense.

[You'll know when the time comes]

[Li Mengyao: So mysterious, as if anyone actually cares to know...]

[Li Mengyao: How much did the gift cost? Give This Miss a number, and I'll reimburse you double]

"A set of mahjong costs 2 million. Double reimbursement... wouldn't that be 4 million?!"

Seeing Li Mengyao being so generous, Ye Su admitted that his heart had indeed skipped a beat.

However, Ye Su knew that no matter how much she reimbursed, he couldn't take this money.

First, he was worried the system would judge it as a transaction, and second, Ye Su knew...

...Li Mengyao only dared to say she would reimburse him double because she assumed the gift he mentioned was just some casual souvenir bought at a mall, which wouldn't cost much.

[No need. Every time I go to your house, I always walk away with something. It's only right that I show some appreciation]

[Li Mengyao: Oh, I couldn't tell. Little brother actually knows quite a bit about reciprocity]

[How many times have I said it? Don't add the word 'little' in front of 'brother'!]

On the other side of the screen, understanding the meaning behind Ye Su's words, Li Mengyao didn't feel the slightest bit shy.

Thinking of how Ye Su might be exasperated right now, Li Mengyao even wore a mischievous smile, feeling more satisfied than if she had signed a contract with a client.

[Li Mengyao: How does that saying online go? 'Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharp blade']

[Li Mengyao: The more a person lacks something, the more they care about it. I understand]

"Heh, look at you, acting like you understand!"

Since he usually had to wrap it around his waist, Ye Su naturally wouldn't actually have his defenses breached by a few words from Li Mengyao.

It was just that he hadn't expected the usually serious-looking Li Mengyao to also make dirty jokes in private.

"It seems that serious look of hers is all an act. In private, she might actually be a closet freak."

When it came to "driving skills," Ye Su, the God of Racing of Mount Akina, had never lost to anyone.

With his thumbs tapping rapidly on the screen, Ye Su replied to the message with a wicked grin.

[If I weren't worried you have megalophobia, tomorrow I'll definitely let you see it]

After seeing the message, an image immediately popped into Li Mengyao's mind. Her face flushed, and she couldn't help but spit in annoyance.

"As expected, he's still as much of a rogue as ever!"

When she said this, Li Mengyao didn't even realize that she was the one who had started this battle of "driving skills."

Unwilling to be outmaneuvered by Ye Su's few words, Li Mengyao also replied with gritted teeth.

[Li Mengyao: It seems I'll have to prepare a magnifying glass first tomorrow]

What she sent to Ye Su next was a picture of a magnifying glass from her drawer, the kind used for jewelry appraisal.

"Alright, alright, still provoking me, are we?"

Unmoved, Ye Su casually delivered another blow.

[Using reverse psychology, are we? Do you really think I can't tell?]

[No matter how much you goad me, I'm still not letting you see it]

[But this dude can give you some Western websites. Although they're still a bit lacking compared to me, they should be enough for you to watch]

Li Mengyao was not an innocent young girl who knew nothing of the world. How could she not know what a Western website was?

Just the thought of discussing these things with another man made Mengyao feel her face burning up:

"I knew it, all men are rogues!"

But along with her embarrassment and annoyance, Li Mengyao also felt a strange sense of excitement, so she chose to continue replying to Ye Su.

[Li Mengyao: You've exposed yourself. 'Western websites'? You must watch them quite often, don't you]

[Li Mengyao: No wonder you always look like you have a kidney deficiency. Be careful you don't even last three minutes in the future]

As soon as the message was sent, she immediately received Ye Su's reply.

[Stop testing me. No matter how much you test me, I'm still not giving it to you]

"Bah! Who wants it?!"

After all, she was a business professional who interacted with high society all day long.

Facing a vulgar rogue like Ye Su, how could Li Mengyao possibly hold her own?

In her annoyance, Li Mengyao finally admitted defeat.

[Li Mengyao: Get lost!]

[Li Mengyao: Remember to arrive early tomorrow]

Knowing that Li Mengyao's last message was her backing down, Ye Su also quit while he was ahead and stepped on the brakes.

[Got it, I'll head over in the afternoon]

[If there's anything good at home, remember to bring it out to entertain this dude. Just think of it as settling my performance fee]

[Li Mengyao: Got it, glutton]

"Oh, you still dare to fight back?"

Being called a glutton, Ye Su was not one to take it lying down and immediately began to strike back.

[What do you mean glutton? I'm a college student and I'm still growing, do you know that?]

[Forget it. At your age, you definitely don't know what growing is anymore]

Seeing Ye Su bring up the issue of [age] and finding herself unable to refute it, Li Mengyao was instantly like a powder keg that had been lit, wanting to blow Ye Su to pieces.

[Li Mengyao: I'll kill you!]

"Oops, ran my mouth too much!"

This time, Ye Su finally felt Li Mengyao's murderous intent.

Sure enough, no matter how good-looking a woman is, the issue of age is a minefield for every single one of them.

This was true for Chen Xinyi, and it was also true for Li Mengyao.

[We have a friendship between gentlemen. A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists]

[Li Mengyao: Apologize to me!]

[I'm sorry]

Ye Su's main philosophy was to admit fault when he should. After all, it was just lip service and cost him absolutely nothing.

It was just like those celebrities who would post an apology on Weibo whenever something happened.

After apologizing, they would carry on as usual, without it affecting their private quality of life in the slightest.

[Li Mengyao: You are not allowed to say I'm old ever again!]

[From now on, you are my little sister]

[Li Mengyao: In your dreams!]

"I'm seriously done. It's not okay to say you're old, and it's not okay to call you my little sister. How are rich women so hard to serve!"

Complaining aside, since he was the one who started the trouble, he had to coax her back to good humor even if he had to do it with tears in his eyes.

Using all his tricks and spending a great deal of breath, he finally managed to coax the bristling rich woman back to calm.
