To confirm whether Lu Shaohan was really that stingy.

Qin Wan drank freely, unrestrainedly, and deliberately chose the most expensive drinks...

As the wine on the table kept disappearing, Lu Shaohan's brow twitched, and he stared at Qin Wan's abdomen with a strange look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Qin Wan looked at him curiously.

"Isn't your stomach bloated?" Lu Shaohan asked with a complicated expression.

Qin Wan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. "I just went to the restroom several times."

"Is your metabolism really that good?" Lu Shaohan asked reflexively.

Qin Wan: "..."

...

...

...

The large private room fell into an eerie silence for several seconds.

Seeing Qin Wan about to open the wine again, Lu Shaohan instinctively reached out to snatch it, but in mid-air, his long, slender hand suddenly turned and grabbed Qin Wan.

Qin Wan looked up at him, puzzled.

Lu Shaohan pursed his thin lips slightly, "Girls should drink less alcohol."

"You're the one who bought me the drink," Qin Wan stated a fact expressionlessly.

Lu Shaohan: "..." But I didn't expect you to be such a heavy drinker.

A person who claims to neither smoke nor drink is surprisingly a heavy drinker.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan's eyes darkened slightly, "Drinking to drown one's sorrows only makes them worse."

Qin Wan broke free from his hand, looking indifferent. "It's nothing, it's just one good drink today."

As she spoke, she picked up the most expensive bottle of wine on the table and pried open the cap with a "plop".

The soft, pattering sound of wine being poured filled the air...

Lu Shaohan kept his eyes fixed on Qin Wan's every move, his face somber and serious.

Wasteful.

That's such a waste of money.

Seeing Qin Wan drinking endlessly, Lu Shaohan frowned as he stared at her delicate face, which was finally flushed.

"I remember that Lu Shaojin didn't have much pocket money."

So, how did Lu Shaojin support her during their relationship?

Qin Wan glanced at him in surprise, her brows furrowing slightly as she said, "I don't know."

Lu Shaohan: "???"

Not sure?

"Who pays for your dates?" Lu Shaohan suddenly asked.

"he."

Qin Wan paused in her drinking, looking at Lu Shaohan with puzzled eyes, as if she didn't understand why he suddenly asked that question.

Lu Shaojin was responsible for the expenses...

Lu Shaohan frowned, a deep look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, staring at Qin Wan with a serious expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Wan felt uneasy and had a chill run down her spine from his gaze, so she frowned and asked.

Lu Shaohan glanced at her, then picked up his phone and scrolled through the messages the private investigator had sent him.

Milk tea shops, libraries, Western restaurants, rooftop restaurants, romantic yachts at sea, candles and roses, hot air balloons.

Playing guitar and singing love songs in the school's grove...

These costs are indeed not particularly high.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan glanced at the empty bottle on the table again.

If I had known, I wouldn't have been so generous.

really……

Lu Shaojin was still cunning; even when he was dating and pursuing Qin Wan, he didn't really put in the effort and only did superficial things.

It doesn't cost much money, yet it can still fool a naive and innocent girl like Qin Wan.

Unlike him, who would make a big splash as soon as he started to show his sincerity in the cooperation.

Aside from the smell of money, there's no trace of care, ritual, or romance that girls appreciate.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan fell silent, feeling that he needed to reflect on his actions.

No wonder Lu Shaojin can deceive one young girl after another.

"You don't actually think Lu Shaojin tried to bribe me, do you?"

Qin Wan glanced at Lu Shaohan's phone screen and saw that it was full of photos of the original owner and Lu Shaojin on a date. She smiled lightly.

She leaned back lazily on the sofa, resting her elbows casually on the cushions, propping her chin up with one hand, and watching Lu Shaohan with great interest.

"I'm not curious about his past relationship with you." Lu Shaohan pursed his thin lips and locked his phone with a cold expression.

"I'm not short of money." Qin Wan lightly tapped her chin with her fair and slender fingertips.

“There are countless wealthy young men in the capital who want to pursue me, and quite a few try to seduce me with money, but have you seen any of them succeed?”

Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Lu Shaohan's eyes.

really.

The Qin family is not short of money, and Qin Wan is even more so; trying to sway her with money is actually the most difficult thing to do.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan looked up at the empty bottles scattered on the table in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

In the end, he was foolish.

He assumed that everyone was as pure and simple-minded as him.

Following Lu Shaohan's gaze, Qin Wan saw a faint hint of heartache in his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You...you're not worried about the cost of these drinks, are you?" Qin Wan asked with a smile, half-jokingly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shaohan looked up and gave her a deep look, then asked with a serious expression, "Is it strange?"

Qin Wan: "..."

"Making money is not easy," Lu Shaohan said.

Qin Wan: "...Young Master Lu shouldn't be short of money, right?"

Lu Shaohan nodded. "I am not short of money, but I will not waste money on revenge spending like you do."

Qin Wan: "..."

Qin Wan pinched her brow helplessly, took out a bank card from her bag, and handed it to Lu Shaohan.

"Use my card," Qin Wan sighed softly.

Strangely, Lu Shaohan looked up at her with a complicated expression, his long, slender fingers tightly gripping Qin Wan's bank card, his brows furrowed as he stared at her with a serious expression.

Qin Wan looked slightly puzzled. "What is it now?"

Are you refusing to cooperate with me?

"..." Qin Wan's lips twitched violently. "That's not what I meant."

As soon as she finished speaking, the familiar bank card was thrown back into her arms.

"Then take it back. Don't let me see it again; it's an eyesore." Lu Shaohan pursed his thin lips, his expression slightly displeased.

Qin Wan: "???"

Isn't it because he's worried about the money?

Wasn't it because he disliked her for her retaliatory spending?

Can't she just pay for it herself?

Is there something wrong?

Ignoring Qin Wan's resentful gaze, Lu Shaohan glanced at her indifferently and said, "This dinner is my way of expressing my sincerity in cooperating with you."

"Even if you're engaging in revenge spending and deliberately ripping me off, I'll accept it."

Qin Wan: "..." This man is beyond redemption.

"Okay." Qin Wan took a deep breath.

"Since you've put it this way, how can I not make you pay for this mess if I don't take advantage of you?"

As she spoke, Qin Wan raised her hand and waved to the bar manager at the door of the private room.

Upon seeing her actions, Lu Shaohan frowned, a deep sense of doubt appearing in his eyes.

What is she going to do next?

The bar manager approached with a puzzled look, glancing furtively at Lu Shaohan while obediently listening to Qin Wan's explanation...

"I want your most expensive wine, as much as you have!" Qin Wan said domineeringly.

"!!!" Lu Shaohan's eyebrows twitched violently, his gaze fixed on Qin Wan in front of him.

Noticing his burning gaze, which seemed to want to devour her, Qin Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, curled her lips into a meaningful smile.

"Regret it? Feeling heartbroken?"

"It's not too late to regret it now." As she spoke, Qin Wan waved the bank card in her hand.

Lu Shaohan: "..."
