Chapter 121: The Devil Doctor sets the perfect dinner atmosphere
"I was so damn late in realizing the presence of the third man. I could only think about Lim and Zhang Luqi’s safety. Then I got myself injured to the point that I don’t think I could have saved her...if not for you."
Jia peered into his eyes with utmost sincerity. "Thanks a lot for helping out. It would have been a tragic mess if you hadn’t come at the right time."
Mingshen rushed to her side and bent over her. He stretched her lower eyelid down and asked, "Are you consuming something that you shouldn’t? What are you hiding from me? Cough out the truth."
She shook his hand away. "Go away!"
"There is something seriously wrong with you if you are expressing your gratitude. To me at that," he said with a suspicious gaze.
Jia scoffed. "I am a decent human and I do decent things, one of which includes properly showing your gratitude to the person who helped you out."
Mingshen sat back on the other couch, royally putting his right leg over his left as if he was a king of some distant land. Her words were enough to swell his pride and stroke his ego.
"Spicy finally understands my importance~" he smirked.
His too full of himself attitude irked her. "You never let me appreciate you more than a second, do you?"
"More or less a second, you finally realize the importance of my spotlight~"
"You had ruined my rescue plan for Danya. Could you really blame me for being cautious?" She dryly said. "Though you did help out, I don’t appreciate you killing them. We could have gotten some answers from them."
