"Money..."
After a while, the little girl suddenly spoke up again.
"Hmm?"
He wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Money, is it okay? Today, I noticed you seemed to spend a lot..."
Yi Qingyan asked with some concern.
"No worries, my friend will pick up the tab. I was using her card."
Cen Dongsheng said.
"Eh? Isn't that more embarrassing..."
"She's very generous, it's not a problem."
Yi Qingyan noticed that Brother Dongsheng seemed to trust that "friend" whom he had yet to meet.
"The friend you're talking about, is it the 'partner' you mentioned before?"
"Yes."
"Strong and reliable, right?"
"That's correct."
Cen Dongsheng was about to call someone for the bill when he heard Yi Qingyan ask a rather abrupt question.
"I—I certainly don't think I'm very reliable... but if we talk about 'strength,' to what extent exactly? Compared to me?"
"Well..."
He was truly stumped by the question.
