Chapter 217
Despite saying that, after Jiang You pleaded and begged, Theodore finally agreed.
"Wow!" Jiang You cheered, raising his hand. "Theodore is the best!"
From this day forward, Theodore will be her eldest daughter.
Theodore bent down and poked her cheek with his index finger, about to blurt out something. Jiang You sensed it wasn't anything nice and quickly grabbed his arm, shaking it from side to side: "Theodore, let's get to work, why don't you go pick some..."
She winked dramatically, but Theodore stared intently at her.
Jiang You felt a little uncomfortable and was about to let go of the arm when the other person looked away and picked up the scissors.
"Hold on tight, or the ladder will fall again..." Theodore glanced at her coolly, "and I'll eat you up."
"Eat it?" Jiang You asked with a grin, not at all afraid of Theodore. "What kind of eating?"
"Slice it into sashimi."
"Ah? No, no, I don't like it," Jiang You exaggeratedly acted, looking terrified. "I don't want to be sliced into sashimi~~~"
Theodore climbed the ladder and saw Jiang You still acting: "Shut up, it's so noisy."
Jiang You craned his neck and looked up to meet his gaze. He wasn't angry; he just chuckled.
Theodore clicked his tongue, looked away, snorted, and couldn't help but smile.
At noon, we stopped picking fruit and went to eat together.
During the meal, Jiang You watched as someone walked over and placed cakes and various desserts on Theodore's table.
It was so eye-catching that people around them all turned to look.
Theodore calmly opened a pudding and slowly added three small packets of syrup.
Jiang You's teeth ached from looking at it; Theodore had such a sweet tooth.
After the person who delivered the cake and dessert left, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Why did she give you dessert?"
Free things are always the most expensive, and besides, Theodore has a face so beautiful it's mesmerizing, a great figure, and long, slender legs... In short, I'm afraid Theodore might go astray.
She didn't want anything to happen to Theodore.
Theodore instinctively said, "It's none of your business, don't ask," but he saw the concern and worry in her eyes.
He chewed the pudding in his mouth with annoyance: "I found a manager and traded a ring for a month's worth of desserts."
Jiang You's gaze fell on Theodore's fair and shapely fingers. She remembered that there was a very beautiful ring on his little finger, but now it was empty.
"Oh," she breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to finish the last bite of her meal.
After putting down his chopsticks, his gaze couldn't help but fall on his hands again.
It's a very beautiful pair of hands, every inch of them is especially beautiful, and they would be perfect to decorate with something.
Theodore noticed Jiang You's gaze and misunderstood that she also wanted to eat it. His face scrunched up for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, he stingily tossed over a small pudding: "Here you go."
Jiang You didn't want to swallow, but seeing Theodore's reluctant expression, he swallowed it. What a proud and adorable cat!
She found it amusing, so she picked up the pudding, opened the packaging, and took a bite.
Hiss~
It's cloyingly sweet, so sweet it hurts your teeth. It takes skill to make a pudding this sweet.
"Not sweet enough? I have a few more packets of syrup here," Theodore said, taking a bite of the pudding with three packets of syrup, his eyes narrowing with satisfaction.
"No need," Jiang You said, but after a couple of bites, he couldn't eat anymore because it was too sweet.
Theodore reached out and took the pudding she had left, added two small packets of syrup, and ate it slowly.
Aren't you afraid of diabetes? Jiang You's gaze swept over Theodore's little finger: "Theodore, do you like that ring?"
"I like it, but it's okay. What's wrong?"
After eating dessert, Theodore was like a cat basking in the sun, lazy and surprisingly able to speak properly without being sarcastic.
Jiang You withdrew his gaze, feeling it was a pity that his hands, which resembled works of art, were without any adornments.
She said, "I'll buy you lots of rings when we get out!"
Why does it sound like she's just making empty promises to her best friend? But what she said is true: she's using Xia Yan and Song Yun's credit cards to support her best friend.
Since it wasn't her money being spent, Jiang You generously said, "After we get out, do you want to come back to China with me? I'll take care of you."
"Keep me as your sugar daddy?"
Theodore crossed his arms and leaned back, his right leg crossed over his left, his golden eyes casually scanning her from bottom to top before finally staring straight into her eyes. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm very expensive. You can't afford to keep me."
"This older sister is so cool!" Jiang You's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, "Money is no problem for me."
Theodore simply smiled, offering no comment.
“I’m serious. If you have nowhere to go after you leave, you can come back to China with me,” Jiang You said earnestly.
Theodore was unwilling to talk about his family from the beginning, and Jiang You guessed that his family of origin was bad, and it was very likely that his parents would give him to an old man for money.
See, when I said I'd support him, his first reaction was to be a sugar daddy/sugar baby.
Furthermore, she discovered that her mental state was very poor while she was in China, and that it would be better if Theodore were by her side when she went back...
The more Jiang You thought about it, the stronger his desire to be with Theodore became.
Unfortunately, Theodore did not agree to her request until the end of the lunch break.
