75: Chapter 75 Du Aoling's brain isn't working properly.

Du Aoling's body was tense, and her breathing had become noticeably rapid.

She had originally intended to get up from Jiang Li's embrace.

But the moment she looked up and saw a pale face flash across the movie screen, she instantly chickened out.

She obediently shrank back into Jiang Li's arms.

Her small hand subconsciously rested against the back of Jiang Li's hand.

Her intention was to warn Jiang Li not to move around.

But to Jiang Li, this action felt a bit like encouragement.

The faint fragrance from the young girl wafted into his nose.

It made Jiang Li's arm subconsciously tighten a little.

Du Aoling's body trembled slightly.

Leaning back in Jiang Li's arms, she felt her whole body going limp, and she couldn't care less about being afraid anymore.

All her thoughts were focused on Jiang Li.

Clearly, before she went out today, she had been thinking about how she should behave well.

To be a bit smarter, a bit steadier.

She couldn't let Jiang Li think she was too easy to handle.

Yet now, she couldn't even manage to sit up straight...

The little hand Du Aoling had pressed against the back of Jiang Li's hand was losing more and more strength.

At first, it seemed like a defense.

Later, it turned into a light touch.

And after that, it completely relaxed...

The movie ended.

When Du Aoling walked out of the screening hall with Jiang Li, she still felt a bit lightheaded.

Even though nothing had actually happened.

Du Aoling's hair was messy, and her skirt was wrinkled from her shifting around earlier.

As soon as she stepped out of the hall, she hurriedly lowered her head and ran toward the restroom.

Inside the restroom.

Du Aoling stood in front of the mirror, her face flushed red.

She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but whisper to herself:

"Du Aoling, you are way too bold!"

"How could you not know how to refuse just now?"

That's what she said.

But the moment she thought about the feeling of leaning in Jiang Li's arms, her face turned even redder.

"But..."

"Brother Jiang Li, he really makes me feel so safe."

Du Aoling covered her face.

It's over.

She felt like her brain wasn't working clearly anymore.

She had clearly thought things through at the beginning.

Jiang Li was rich, young, and interested in her.

She wanted to seize the opportunity and secure a place in Jiang Li's heart.

But after just one morning, her goal was already in shambles.

Being rescued by a hero in the billiards hall, plus the enclosed space in the movie theater just now.

After this series of events, the youthful fantasies in her heart had long since been completely ignited.

What prey? What hunter?

Du Aoling only knew now that she really did like Jiang Li a little...

When she walked out of the restroom, Jiang Li was standing outside waiting for her.

Du Aoling walked straight over and took the opportunity to grab Jiang Li's hand.

"Brother."

"Where are we going now?"

Jiang Li looked down at the hand she was holding.

This young girl was making progress quite fast.

A moment ago she was panicked enough to run to the restroom, and now she dared to take the initiative to hold his hand.

Her growth rate was very fitting for a prospective college student.

What Jiang Li actually wanted to do most right now was to send Du Aoling away and have Du Aoting come take over...

But obviously, he couldn't say that right now.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said:

"It's about time."

"Let's go eat something first."

"I have some things to do this afternoon."

Speaking of which, he looked at Du Aoling.

"Are you coming with me, or should I take you home first?"

Du Aoling didn't hesitate at all and directly hooked her arm into Jiang Li's.

"I want to be with you!"

She knew Jiang Li was very busy.

If she went home today, she didn't know when she would be able to see him again.

Now that she had finally managed to stay by Jiang Li's side, she didn't want to go back.

Seeing how decisive she was, Jiang Li didn't say much more.

"Fine."

"Then let's go eat."

Meanwhile.

The sales center of Yihao Mansion.

Liu Yan was sitting in the staff break area eating.

She was eating her boxed lunch while making a phone call.

"Sister."

"Your Lingling has finished her college entrance exam by now, right?"

"The pressure on your family should be a bit less."

"When will you be able to pay back the money you borrowed from me?"

On the other end of the line, Du Aoling's mother's voice sounded somewhat weary.

"Xiao Yan, Lingling has indeed finished the college entrance exam."

"But she still has to go to university afterward."

"University costs money too."

Liu Yan frowned.

"University costs money? Then just have Lingling apply for a student loan!"

"Or have her get a summer job."

"She's grown up now, it's time for her to share some of the family's burden."

There was silence on the other end of the line.

After a few seconds, Du Aoling's mother said helplessly:

"Xiao Yan, back then we had agreed to open a shop together, with a fifty-fifty split in shares."

"But after the shop lost money, you wanted me to pay back your share."

"I acknowledge this debt."

"But could you give me a few more years?"

"Once Lingling starts working, I will definitely pay you back slowly."

Liu Yan's expression darkened as she listened.

Just as she was about to continue speaking, a message popped up in her work group on her phone.

[A big client is coming, everyone assemble!]

Liu Yan's eyes lit up.

A big client?

The clients at Yihao Mansion were not ordinary clients.

Anyone the manager specifically called to assemble for in the group chat definitely wasn't here to look at small apartments.

She quickly put down her chopsticks and said into the phone:

"Alright, sister, I have a client here, I'll stop talking to you for now."

"But I'll say the ugly truth upfront."

"If you don't pay me back, I'm really coming to collect the debt."

After saying this, she didn't wait for the other side to speak again and hung up the phone directly.

Liu Yan pushed her boxed lunch aside, quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue, and took out her lipstick to touch up her makeup.

If she could close a deal, she would be able to eat well this month!
