Suddenly, she grew nervous and stuttered like a child caught stealing candy.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Xia Liang felt somewhat helpless. This girl is too thrifty, he thought. Her salary isn't even low right now. Even as an intern, I'm already paying her an advance of 8,000 Yuan. Yet, she can't even bear to spend money on snacks she likes. The thought gave him a slight headache.
"Let's go."
"Huh? Where?" Xi Yiqian asked, her gaze full of confusion.
Without another word, Xia Liang grabbed her hand and led her toward the snack aisle.
"Pick whatever you want. It's my treat."
"There's no need," Xi Yiqian said, quickly waving her hands in refusal. "Eating these will make me gain weight."
"Cut the nonsense! Just pick something!"
Seeing that she was about to refuse again, Xia Liang's expression turned stern as he shot her a glare.
Frightened, Xi Yiqian immediately lowered her head and meekly replied, "Oh."
