Seeing that Dong Xiaolu didn't notice anything special about the glasses, Han Ming felt much more at ease and began to make up stories again:
"Hehe, Xiaolu, I already told you, I bought it to block out UV rays, but you didn't believe me."
"Hmph, pretending to be refined."
Dong Xiaolu didn't think much of the first half of his sentence, but when the second half came out, she rolled her eyes at him again.
"Haven't you heard people say that men who wear glasses look refined, but they're actually refined scoundrels?"
Han Ming was a little smug after hearing the first half, but the second half made him furious.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Just now, the little devil inside me almost drove me to spy on the beauty.
If it weren't for the beautiful woman's coquettish rebuke, he probably would have done something beastly.
Feeling guilty, he couldn't muster any confidence in his words and stammered, trying to change the subject.
Fortunately, Dong Xiaolu didn't take it too seriously. After teasing Han Ming for a while, she returned the glasses to him.
She rested her chin on her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were deep in thought.
Seeing that she was thinking, Han Ming didn't disturb her and silently drank his beverage.
Dong Xiaolu thought for a while, then asked Han Ming:
"You just said that you've paid off all the money except for the loan during this period. How much do you still owe the bank?"
This problem stumped Han Ming; it was precisely what troubled him.
Seeing Han Ming frowning, Dong Xiaolu knew that he owed the bank a lot of money, and his sweetheart must be very worried about it.
"Are there several million?"
Dong Xiaolu asked tentatively.
"Oh, no, but it's not a small amount, it's a million."
"Why don't you use your father's factory land as collateral to get another loan?"
“My dad used the land as collateral. Now the loan term is up, and if he can’t pay it back, the bank will probably take the land as collateral.”
"Oh, is that so? One million? Let me think about it."
After listening, Dong Xiaolu started thinking again, her eyebrows furrowing and relaxing intermittently.
After a long while, Dong Xiaolu seemed to have made up her mind and said to Han Ming:
"Alright, Han Ming, don't worry, I'll help you."
Han Ming was filled with doubt after hearing Dong Xiaolu's words. He thought to himself that he had been so troubled by this matter recently, but how come Dong Xiaolu could easily say that she could help him solve it after just a few minutes of thinking?
Moreover, for Dong Xiaolu to so easily say that she could handle such a large sum of money is too presumptuous.
Although she meant well, it seemed a bit embarrassing for a grown man to use a woman's money.
Just as he was about to refuse, Dong Xiaolu seemed to see through his thoughts and said:
"Han Ming, don't refuse. Consider this money a loan, with interest, okay?"
As you just said, you've tried many methods, but the deadline is fast approaching. Where are you going to find so much money? Let me help you.”
Where did you get so much money?
Han Ming was puzzled. Even if Dong Xiaolu was a relative of a high-ranking executive in the company, her monthly salary was not much higher than his. Could it be that her family was very rich?
My goodness, the rich and beautiful women in the provincial capital are all this wealthy, they can easily come up with millions of dollars.
"Don't worry about that, I have my own way of doing it."
Dong Xiaolu raised her eyebrows, looking mysterious.
"Then I'll write you an IOU."
Han Ming felt that he should follow the rules. Since the other party had helped him solve a big problem, he should leave them a written agreement.
"We'll see, we'll see, there's no rush."
Dong Xiaolu simply waved her hand dismissively.
Han Ming was a little excited. It was certainly a good thing that someone was helping to solve the big problem that was standing in front of him. The weight on his heart was finally lifted, and his eyes looked at Dong Xiaolu with even more enthusiasm.
He implicitly regarded her as his capable wife, completely ignoring the fact that the two had not yet officially become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Han Ming wanted to ask the waiter to get Dong Xiaolu another drink, but Dong Xiaolu refused. The beautiful Dong refused very decisively, saying that she couldn't drink anymore.
Now Han Ming was in an awkward situation again. He couldn't think of anything to talk about, and he was too embarrassed to stare at the other person for fear of triggering his inner demons. The atmosphere fell silent once more.
Dong Xiaolu was a little speechless, thinking to herself that this guy usually seemed quite talkative at the company, but today he was so tongue-tied and didn't know how to speak.
I've already helped him solve such a big problem, and he doesn't even bother to flatter me. All he knows is juice. How boring.
If I didn't have feelings for him, I wouldn't be willing to spend so much money to help him. If this guy suddenly realizes what's going on and asks me to be his girlfriend, should I say yes?
Dong Xiaolu thought to herself.
After sitting there for a while, Han Ming, with his blockheaded mind, pretended to be refined and refused to say a word.
Having no other choice, Dong Xiaolu didn't want to miss the opportunity. Thinking that it was fine for a woman to pursue a man, she decided to take the plunge and test him out. So she asked:
"Han Ming, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, we don't have time to talk."
Han Ming, a bachelor, answered frankly.
"Then why doesn't anyone pursue you?"
"You're always working on software and game design, where would you find the time? And why doesn't anyone pursue you?"
"Who says I have no suitors? The line of people chasing me could stretch for miles."
Dong Xiaolu proudly showed off.
Han Ming wanted to laugh at her for bragging, but when his eyes met Dong Xiaolu's, he was too embarrassed to say anything.
Dong Xiaolu was very clever; she could tell from Han Ming's expression that he didn't believe her.
However, she ignored him and continued to fiddle with the straw in her juice glass.
Looking at the charming Dong Xiaolu, Han Ming, not knowing where he got the courage, said:
"How about you become my girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, it was like a drop of water falling into the frying pan of oil in Dong Xiaolu's heart, causing a series of crackling sounds.
