Chapter 699: Coordination
"Don’t worry, I’m not as fragile as you imagine. Isn’t it just a minor issue? I didn’t take it to heart, and you don’t need to be like this, making it seem as if everyone is picking on you. Don’t forget who handled this matter.
You still look like this, making it seem as if you were the one who caused the problem while I just stood by and watched the drama unfold, feeling sorry for you. Ok, I got it; I won’t take such risks again, alright?"
Lin Qi said with a smile, not expecting Shen Dong to react this way. At this moment, Shen Dong remembered that he couldn’t stay in the bar any longer since the issue had been resolved. He needed to hurry home because someone sick was waiting for him, and had just sent a message saying they had a stomach ache.
If he delayed any further, he didn’t know how his girlfriend would be. As for the immediate tasks at hand, they would have to wait. After checking the time on his phone, he avoided the topic Lin Qi had brought up and continued, "You really handled this matter quite well. Think about what you want.
I’ll fulfill this wish for you later. I need to go home now, so you should head back to your dormitory. Keep this knife with you, and one day I’ll craft a new one for you, something better suited for self-defense. Go back to your dorm and rest; don’t tire yourself out. You really had a tough day today.
Also, stop worrying about the money—you’ll pay back what you owe me soon, alright? Look at how much you earned tonight, all those tips from those rich kids, it was wave after wave. I was truly shocked; I never expected you to have such great ability. This was indeed beyond my expectations."
As Shen Dong spoke with a teasing tone, Lin Qi finally felt reassured and playfully groaned, then said, "I know my earning capability has always been strong. I just didn’t want to earn money before. Those people really thought I was incapable of making money, but they didn’t know that I was just hiding it.
If I wanted to make money, I could make a lot in a minute, just like now. When I start making even more money for you later, then you’ll truly understand my worth. I’ll prove that your decision to invest so much in me was the right one. Go ahead with your work; don’t worry about me."
After saying this, Lin Qi turned her head and left. She didn’t want to make Shen Dong uncomfortable or have him escort her home. She could naturally get back to her dormitory with her own legs. However, returning to the dormitory might be a bit troublesome since everyone there probably had heard about the incident and might cluster around asking questions.
