“Nicole already told me… I’m very grateful, but I really can’t accept such a big favor… I’ve inquired, and the market price for an ad on the front page of that public account is between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan… I don’t have that much money to spare, so I’ll just return the 100,000 yuan to you…”

After a brief pause, I used pleading words again.

She said angrily, "Don't do anything like that again... I'm under so much pressure, really!"

Ye Zhi replied easily, "This is just a small favor for me... This public account has a long-term partnership with Jian Zihan's company. Last quarter, we still had three advertising slots left... Zihan mentioned this to me, and I remembered that your bar was about to open, so I gave you one of the ads... Rather than wasting such good advertising resources, why not make the most of them, right?"

I didn't know what to say, so I remained silent...

"Don't feel pressured... For me, seeing you doing well is enough to make me very happy!"

After a brief pause, Ye Zhi smiled and said to me, "There aren't many things in this world that can make me happy... Seeing you happy is one of the few... So, don't take away my happiness so easily, okay?!"

After another silence, I finally spoke: "I really can't stand hearing this... Since this is a favor you got from Jian Zihan, then I'll return it to Jian Zihan... I'm sorry, I don't want to feel like I owe you... If I owe you, it won't be fair to Sisi... She's still waiting for me in Shanghai... She certainly doesn't want to see me entangled with you... Let's just pretend we never met."
