章 91: KNOW YOU BETTER

"Ying Jie, were you raised in a philanthropical family?" Alex asked.

"Aish, what's with that fancy word ah? I was just born poor. That's why I know the struggle, ahahaha!" 

"… then you've grown to be a fine and good-natured woman, Ying Jie," Alex said sincerely.

My face turned beet red due to Alex, who was actually praising me genuinely. Then I tried to brush the awkward atmosphere off, "Aish, what's with you being so goody-goody right now? Let's just enjoy our dinner ah! Hahaha~"

Alex smiled at me, but he said nothing and continued eating. 

We were busy with our own food for a while until Tian Lifeng suddenly came and put two glasses of iced tea and a plate of sesame balls on the table. 

"This is for you two. I'm sorry ah, I can't give much. I'm short of workers right now," Tian Lifeng said.

"Aiya, why are you giving this to us? No need, Lifeng!" I tried to refuse, but Lifeng tried to distance herself away.
