Xiaohua opened the gift and found a set of emerald jewelry, elegant, sophisticated, and noble; it was clearly very expensive!
It's not something she can afford to wear!
To be honest, I really can't accept this gift.
"Mr. Zhou, this gift is too valuable, I cannot accept it!"
Xiaohua closed the gift box and pushed it towards Zhou Musheng.
Zhou Musheng stopped her from pushing the gift box, saying, "No matter how valuable it is, the best value of this jewelry is that you like it! Unless you don't like it."
Honestly, who wouldn't love beautiful and luxurious jewelry? Xiaohua is no exception.
"But... in what capacity should I accept this, just... as a friend?"
Xiaohua wasn't narcissistic; she had feelings for Zhou Musheng, and she sensed that Zhou Musheng might also have some feelings for her.
Although she is indeed very busy now and doesn't have time to date, she is not sure.
But when it comes to feelings, who can say with absolute certainty that they won't?
If they really come together, and both are interested in each other, they'll naturally end up together.
She didn't resist!
The main reason is that Zhou Musheng truly fulfilled all her fantasies about the ideal man.
He is her ideal type.
She hadn't thought that far ahead; dating wasn't marriage, so she just wanted to enjoy the sweetness of love.
She thinks dating a man like Zhou Musheng would be a great experience.
She was somewhat tempted and wanted to give it a try.
"Oh, so in what capacity would you like to accept this gift?"
Zhou Musheng wanted to know her answer, but he didn't want her to say it.
He had fallen for her, but he didn't intend to be with her.
For some relationships, the best approach is to leave things unresolved.
"Girlfriend?"
Xiaohua's voice was slightly low, perhaps because she lacked confidence.
"Cough cough~"
Zhou Musheng coughed twice, feigning an attack.
Xiao Hua thought Zhou Musheng was the kind of reserved man, in other words, thin-skinned.
She's not thin-skinned; she's thick-skinned. She doesn't mind that she was the one who initiated the relationship.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want me to be your girlfriend? Is that why you gave me such an expensive gift? If it's as your girlfriend, I think I can accept it."
Her words were straightforward and blunt.
This left Zhou Musheng nowhere to hide. At this moment, Zhou Musheng felt truly despicable. He was somewhat timid in matters of the heart, afraid of failing again, and did not want to develop their relationship any further.
But it always seems to be testing the limits, teetering on the edge.
Now they've spoken directly, breaking through this final barrier.
I was scared, and I wanted to refuse but didn't want to.
I hesitated for a long time before responding to her.
Xiaohua's eyes dimmed slightly.
Perhaps I was just imagining things; maybe he only admired her and didn't think of anything more than that.
It's me who's overthinking things.
"Hey, I was just kidding. It's just that I don't really like jewelry. You see, I'm completely naked and never wear any jewelry. Besides, I think this set of jewelry might be more suitable for older ladies."
As Xiaohua spoke, she wrapped the gift up and put it in her handbag, placing it on one side of the table.
“Mr. Zhou, I appreciate your kind gesture, but I really can’t accept the jewelry. How about you treat me to this meal as a birthday present?”
She gave him a way out.
He then accepted the offer.
"Okay, this meal is on me. Happy birthday."
