"What if I ran off with the money?"
Su Anya leaned back in her chair, a hint of a smile on her lips. "I'll hunt you down and make you pay back every penny with interest," she said, her tone casual yet laced with a hint of steel. Ji Haoyu's eyes widened, and he almost swallowed his saliva. He knew Su Anya wasn't one to make idle threats.
Despite her carefree demeanor, Ji Haoyu sensed a fierce determination beneath the surface. He took a deep breath and replied, "Miss Su, I am thankful for your trust in me, but I can't take any risk with your money."
Su Anya sighed, her expression tinged with disappointment. In her past life, Ji Haoyu had been fearless, unencumbered by the fear of loss, which had driven his success. "Think of this as repaying a favor," she said, her voice softening. She picked up her glass of water and took a sip, her eyes never leaving Ji Haoyu's face.
