Chapter 423 No Money for Return Gift
When she mentioned Ji Minghuan, Li Jinxing's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said in a light tone: "He doesn't understand papyrus painting, and the gallery manager doesn't think he is qualified to buy it!"
"That might be possible, but it's because he insisted on buying it that the person in charge said he had to answer three questions before he could buy it!"
As Nie Yao finished speaking, Li Jinxing couldn't help but pinch her palm, his voice becoming a little bitter. "So when he said he wanted to give you this painting, you agreed? If I hadn't rushed over at that time, would you have really accepted his gift?"
Nie Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head and glared at him, saying, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would accept his gift?"
"Then why did you agree to answer those three questions?" Li Jinxing still felt a little bothered.
"I'm interested in this painting, but that doesn't mean I'll accept it as a gift from him!" Nie Yao curled her lips and muttered softly, "Not to mention that there's no such thing as a gift without merit, he and I aren't even friends. I'd be crazy to accept such a generous gift!"
Seeing that she and Ji Minghuan had a very clear relationship, Li Jinxing raised the corners of his lips slightly. He lowered his head and approached her, saying with a half-smile: "That's right, if you accept the things he gives you, you will dirty your hands! There is no need for him to give gifts like this. I can give you as many as you want!"
"I didn't say I wanted to accept it from you!" Nie Yao deliberately put on a stern face, glanced at him sideways, and said unhappily, "I dare not accept such an expensive gift, even if we are dating, because I don't have the money to return the gift!"
Li Jinxing was amused by her words. He scratched the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. What's mine is yours anyway. Whether you accept it or not, it belongs to us both. There is no need for you to return the gift!"
Nie Yao had been sullen at first, but after being teased by him, she finally lost her composure and shook her head, laughing uncontrollably. "Li Jinxing, you'd better stop spending money on me. I don't like it. Even if you do like it, there's no need to buy everything..."
"Yaoyao, I don't care how much money I spend. These are just for happiness..." Li Jinxing wanted to persuade her, but before he could finish his words, she reached out and pressed her lips.
"I know you're rich and have plenty of money, but it's really unnecessary. Don't do this again, or I'll be under a lot of psychological pressure!"
Nie Yao sighed softly when she said this, and her gaze towards him became very serious: "I'm not joking!"
Li Jinxing was about to say something, but after hearing her last words, he sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I originally bought these things you like to make you happy, but if it increases your psychological pressure, it will lose its meaning!"
At this point, he added in a low voice: "If you don't like the painting just now, I'll give it away!"
"You've already bought it, why are you giving it away?" Nie Yao shook her head with amusement, stopping him from doing so.
"I thought you didn't like it..." Li Jinxing shrugged.
"I didn't say I didn't like it!" Nie Yao shook her head helplessly. Facing Li Jinxing's triumphant smile, she whispered, "But the most important thing is that there are some secrets hidden behind this painting. I have a hunch that this secret may be related to you and me!"
Li Jinxing, who originally had a playful smile on his face, disappeared and frowned when he heard her say that.
