The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: You’re the One Treating, I’ll Listen to You (2)

The spicy-adverse Lin Jiage unhesitatingly nodded and replied smoothly, “Sure.”

Shi Yao placed her phone in front of Lin Jiage and said, “Let’s go to Shu Garden. This is the address…”

Having grown up in Beijing, Lin Jiage only had to take a look at the address of the restaurant for him to roughly know its location. He nodded slightly to gesture that he knew where to go before driving his car.

Along the way, Lin Jiage looked as if he was earnestly driving his car as he stared at the road ahead of him, but the truth was that his mind was actually busy spinning over other matters.

Even though he had found an excuse to meet up with her by saying that she owed him a meal, he wasn’t about to actually let her treat him… But what excuse could he come up with that would let him foot the bill naturally?

Just as they were about to arrive at the restaurant, Lin Jiage looked in the rear mirror and spotted the bag that Shi Yao casually placed by her side.

If he hid her bag, she definitely wouldn’t be able to pay the bill… But her bag was a little too big, so it wouldn’t be easy to hide it. And she would definitely reach for her bag when getting off the car. Thus, this plan was unlikely to work.

At the last minute, Lin Jiage decided to change his target to Shi Yao’s purse.

Given the bag’s size, she would definitely keep a close eye on it at all times. But the same couldn’t be said about her purse…

Lin Jiage swiftly scanned the road ahead of him. Then, he drove his car to the outermost lane and searched for the nearest exit out of the main road, before finally driving into an alley.

The alley was filled with cars and bicycles, so it wasn’t easy to pass through it. After driving in for a moment, he found that the road had become so narrow that his car couldn’t pass through it, so he could only slowly reverse out of the alley.

He reversed the car for some distance, then drove forward a little, as if trying to create some space so that he could reverse out of the alley. However, that seemed to be of little help, and he ended up repeating the same actions again and again. Seemingly left with no choice, he could only turn to Shi Yao apologetically and say, “Sorry, but can you get down and help guide me from outside?”

“Sure.” Not finding anything wrong with the request, Shi Yao nodded and got out of the car.

Lin Jiage could obviously reverse out of the alley with ease, but he still lowered his window and asked non-stop, “Is there space to reverse to the right?”

“What about the left?”

“There’s no problem reversing like that, right?”

Under Shi Yao’s ‘assistance’ and ‘leadership’, Lin Jiage finally managed to back out of the alley. Then, he turned to her and said, “Move back a little further. I’m worried that I’ll accidentally hit you…”

When he saw Shi Yao backing away about ten meters as per his instructions, he swiftly reached for Shi Yao’s bag on the passenger’s seat.

The first time, he dug out a packet of sweets.

The second time, he dug out Shi Yao’s phone.

The third time, he dug out an apple.

An apple… Isn’t she afraid of making her bag too heavy?

Lin Jiage speechlessly toss the apple back into the bag. He continued fumbling around the bag and before long, he came into contact with something soft. He couldn’t tell what it was, so out of sheer curiosity, he took it out to take a look. It had a greenish, flowery appearance, but he could still recognize what it was—sanitary pads.

Lin Jiage’s ears reddened a little. As he reversed the car, he continued fumbling around Shi Yao’s bag, and after coming into contact with several energy bars, he finally found a very small purse.

Did she intentionally get herself a small purse so that she’d have more space to store food in her bag?

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage unhesitatingly took out Shi Yao’s purse and threw it beneath the passenger’s seat.
