Chapter 157: You Treat, I'll Pay

Yu Jinmo nodded. “Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense. Xiao Yu is, after all, a good friend of mine with whom I grew up playing. It's not right to not remind her, but it's also not right to be too direct. I'll think about how to tactfully hint at her.”

Then, the topic returned to how to arrange the rest of the day.

Yu Jinmo clearly didn't want to go back to school, so after thinking for a moment, Lin Bai suggested, “There seems to be a private cinema here. Why don't we go watch a movie after we finish eating?”

It would be too awkward to just get a room for the night. Yu Jinmo was very conservative by nature, and she couldn't accept overly intimate behavior before marriage.

That was why Lin Bai suggested it. They could spend the night together and avoid a lot of awkwardness.

As expected, Yu Jinmo's eyes lit up immediately when she heard the suggestion.

“Alright, Alright! I happen to have a few movies in mind that I want to watch. We can watch them together!”

Lin Bai smiled and nodded. “Okay, then it's decided.”

This was the first time that Yu Jinmo had spent the night alone with Lin Bai. She was excited and nervous, but also a little expectant.

She had no mood to enjoy the rest of the dishes. After a few quick bites, she said, “I'm full! Let's go watch the movie!”

Lin Bai smiled dotingly and stood up. “Okay, I'll pay the bill. You sit and wait.”

Yu Jinmo nodded obediently. Then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, she quickly said, “Hey, wait a minute!”

Lin Bai guessed what she wanted to do and immediately said, “No need, no need.”

As he said that, he turned around and was about to pay the bill.

However, Yu Jinmo caught up and grabbed his hand. At the same time, she secretly stuffed her phone into Lin Bai's hand.

“The payment password is the date we got together.”

Yu Jinmo tiptoed and tried her best to whisper into Lin Bai's ear.

“Silly girl, I already said there's no need.”

Yu Jinmo insisted, “When two people are together, they have to give something to each other!”

“You've treated me to dozens of meals before. Can't I treat you once?”

As she said this, she deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry, asking, “Are you looking down on me?”

Lin Bai was amused by her appearance and quickly said, “No, no. Alright then, this meal is on you.”

When Yu Jinmo heard Lin Bai say this, she happily returned to her seat and sat down.

Lin Bai went to pay the bill and returned the phone to her. He smiled and said, “Let's go.”

Yu Jinmo opened the letter to take a look, but found that there was no notification of payment, so she asked in puzzlement, “Did you really pay for it with my card? Why is there no transaction record?”

Lin Bai said vaguely, “Maybe the signal is bad and there's a delay. Don't worry about it. Let's go watch a movie.”

In fact, he had used his own phone to pay for it, so it would be strange if Yu Jinmo had received a deduction notification.

Yu Jinmo recalled that there had been a situation where the signal was bad and there was a delay, so she did not suspect anything.

The two of them went to the private theater next door and booked a private room. Yu Jinmo looked at her phone again, but there was still no record of any deductions. She finally came back to her senses.

“No! Tell me honestly, did you pay for it or not?” Yu Jinmo asked.

Lin Bai knew that he could not fool her anymore, so he answered honestly,

“Yes, with my card,”

Yu Jinmo immediately became anxious.

“Didn't we agree that I would treat you? Why are you still acting like this!”

“The Heniu is so expensive. What if you don't have enough to live on for the next half a month?”

She was really afraid that Lin Bai would become poor from taking her out to meals.

She was even more afraid that Lin Bai would be too prideful to admit it and insist on getting the tab even though he had no money. She was worried that when he accompanied her, he would be a spendthrift, and then end up eating instant noodles he went back.

If that was really the case, she would rather not go out to eat or play. She did not want Lin Bai to pinch and scrimp on himself painstakingly behind her back.

Lin Bai smiled and said, “I'm a man. Do you think it's right that I ask my girlfriend to pay for a meal on a date?”

Yu Jinmo grumbled unhappily, “But we agreed that I would treat you…”

Lin Bai nodded. “Yes, it was your treat, I just paid the bill. There's no conflict.”

“How can it not be a conflict? How can I feel at ease if you don't have any money?”

Yu Jinmo was extremely regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would have gone to settle the bill herself.

Actually, she really wanted to go by herself at that time. However, she was afraid that she would embarrass Lin Bai, so she gave her phone to him.

Who would have thought that it would turn out like this?

“Hmph, chauvinism! What's wrong with spending my money once? !”

“I don't care. I'll pay for our dates for the rest of the month. I'll pay for it. You're not allowed to vie with me! If you behave like you did today again, I'll really be angry with you!”

Yu Jinmo was half-joking and half-angry.

She was especially cute when reprimanding him. Lin Bai could not help but reach out to pinch her little face and say with a smile, “I didn't say that I won't let you spend your money. If you want to spend it, you can buy me a present on my birthday. There's no need for you to pay for daily meals.”

Lin Bai admitted that he waa a male chauvinist who couldn't accept spending his girlfriend's money.

If he was really so poor that he couldn't do anything about it, it would be fine. The key was that he had more than 20 billion yuan in his bank account. If he let his girlfriend pay for his meals, he would really feel bad.

Even if Yu Jinmo didn't know, he wouldn't be able to get past that hurdle in his heart.

Yu Jinmo said, “Birthdays are birthdays. Isn't it still early! We are talking about this month. Do you really have enough money in your hands? Don't lie to me!”

Lin Bai replied with an extremely sincere tone, “Yes, I really have enough. It's more than enough.”

More than 20 billion. If it was not even enough to spend for half a month, how extravagant would it be?

Lin Bai's imagination was limited. He really couldn't imagine it.

Yu Jinmo didn't really believe it.

“Really? Then show me your account balance. Don't think I don't know that you care about your pride!”

This request really put Lin Bai in a difficult position.

However, the reason for his dilemma was the opposite of what Yu Jinmo thought. It wasn't because the amount of money in his account was too little. Instead, it was too much.

How was he going to explain the balance of more than 20 billion?

It was not that he did not want Yu Jinmo to know that he was rich but now was not the right time.

When Yu Jinmo saw Lin Bai's hesitation, she thought that she had guessed correctly.

“Hmph, I knew that you would insist on saving your pride!”

As she said that, she was about to transfer the money to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai pressed her hand down and said, “There's really no need. I have enough money, I'm not lying.”

“Then why don't you dare to show me the balance?”

Yu Jinmo probed relentlessly.

Lin Bai suddenly thought of something and blurted, “Because the money in the card isn't all mine!”

Yu Jinmo had a face full of question marks. “What do you mean?”

Lin Bai could only bite the bullet and continue making up stories.

“Mr. A asked me to help him negotiate the cooperation so he gave me the cooperation money in advance.. Hence, I have a lot of money in my card, but it's not all mine.”
