Although Sophia had long legs, she was wearing thick - soled sandals and simply couldn't outrun Aaron, who was wearing sports shoes. She hadn't run far before being caught up, and then she was embraced by Aaron and "mishandled" a bit. After having her boundaries crossed slightly, Sophia pulled his hand out of her clothes and turned her head to glare at him angrily.
"If you do this again, I won't talk to you."
The Aaron of the past might have been intimidated by such words and backed off. But now, with money in his pocket, he felt confident. There were so many beautiful women in the world. If this one didn't work out, he could just move on to the next. With money, why would he be afraid of not finding a woman?
Aaron raised his other hand behind Sophia... Amid Sophia's exclamation, he patted her thigh and admonished, "See if you still dare to step on my foot in the future."
Sophia let out a coquettish hum. "You were the one who started with your mouth first."
Aaron secretly marveled at how good Sophia felt to the touch. Such an exquisite girl, he really wanted to have her completely. But he had little experience in courting girls and didn't know how to win her over. Remembering that it was said in books that bars were the easiest places to pick up girls, he stepped forward, trying to put his arm around Sophia's waist, and said softly, "Okay, it was my fault. How about I invite you to a bar?"
Sophia dodged his embrace and said disdainfully, "Humph, you stinky man. You want to get me drunk, don't you?"
Seeing her refuse so straightforwardly, Aaron didn't dare to take further liberties. He said in a conciliatory tone, "Mainly, I've never been to one. I thought you could show me around."
Sophia sized him up and asked suspiciously, "Sounds nice, but the way you were acting just now, you didn't seem like a good person."
Aaron said earnestly, "It's true. I was too busy before to go."
"Whether it's true or not, with how you behaved just now, you don't have a chance tonight." After saying that, Sophia turned around and left.
She definitely wasn't going to the bar. She had already given enough hints tonight. "Fishing" needed to be done slowly. If all the bait was given at once, the fish would be full and wouldn't take the hook. Sophia was quite experienced in this regard. She planned to show a bit of a cold shoulder and wait for Aaron to come and coax her with gifts tomorrow, and then see if she would continue dating him depending on the situation.
Aaron chased after her and tried to persuade her, "Don't be angry. Let's talk things out."
"Humph." Sophia didn't stop walking and turned her head to the side, ignoring Aaron.
Aaron followed beside her with a smile on his face. He remembered reading that if a girl was really angry, she usually wouldn't respond. Her "humph" indicated that she wasn't truly angry, just a bit miffed. If words couldn't soothe her, gifts would most likely do the trick.
Aaron thought for a moment and said, "Sophia, don't be angry. How about this? Within my ability, I'll fulfill one of your wishes, okay?"
Sophia was intrigued by Aaron's words and slowed down. She looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
There was sincere apology in Aaron's eyes. "I shouldn't have treated you like that just now. I hope you can forgive me."
Seeing his sincere expression, Sophia, who didn't think he was joking, became even more puzzled. "So you'll fulfill one of my wishes? Anything?"
Aaron said confidently, "Well, anything reasonable." He deliberately emphasized the word "reasonable," fearing that she would come up with some outrageous wishes.
Sophia was amused by Aaron. What did he mean by "reasonable"? Her wish was to buy a Porsche 911. Was that reasonable? This was ridiculous. When she first heard him say he'd fulfill her wish, she was a bit excited. But now adding the condition of "reasonable wish," did he mean some small wish within a few tens of thousands of dollars? Could a few - thousand - dollar thing even be called a wish? She could get any middle - aged uncle to fulfill that. She didn't need him for that.
Sophia looked scornful and quickened her pace. She felt that the word "wish" had been insulted and was a bit unhappy. Maybe she'd feel better tomorrow, but right now, she didn't really want to talk to Aaron.
Aaron was baffled by her sudden coldness. What was going on? He just added the word "reasonable" because he was worried she'd come up with some strange wishes, thinking of some funny and absurd scenes from movies. Why was she getting angry about that?
Aaron was very confused. He ran up and asked, "Tell me your wish first. As long as it's not too outlandish, I'll definitely fulfill it."
Sophia got angry and said in a petulant tone, "I want a Porsche 911. Can you afford it?" This was her biggest wish at the moment. Although Aaron had seemed wealthy, she couldn't believe he'd buy her a car worth several million.
Hearing her wish, Aaron immediately relaxed. He thought it was going to be some really strange wish. Just this? He could buy two if he wanted. If she thought that was too much, he could even get one for himself. But he wasn't sure if that counted as cheating, so Aaron gave up this risky idea.
He calmly took Sophia's hand, put on a confident smile, and agreed, "Okay."
?? Sophia stared at him with wide eyes, sizing up this man anew. The man was smiling calmly, as if she had said a Mercedes - Benz worth a hundred thousand or so. This was a Porsche 911 worth several million! Agreeing so easily, was he teasing her?
Sophia covered her lips slightly, looking incredulous. "Are you serious?"
Aaron smiled and affirmed, "Yes."
Sophia double - checked, "No kidding?"
Aaron said earnestly, "I'm a liar if I am."
Sophia stared into his eyes, examining him carefully. She didn't see any signs of guilt, evasion, or forced bravado. All she saw was unwavering confidence shining in his eyes. She could usually tell if a man was telling the truth. Aaron gave her a sincere and calm feeling, just like when he bought her a bag in the afternoon.
At this moment, Sophia had an intuition that if she missed this man, she'd miss out on a Porsche 911.
"Then... Then do I need to meet some conditions for you to buy it for me?" Sophia seemed to think of something. She glanced at Aaron's new pants, and her face turned slightly red. What if this guy wanted to negotiate terms with her? Should she agree or not? If it was just about that, she might consider it. But she was afraid he'd say he'd buy it after she had a child. The conditions of these wealthy people were always so harsh. She knew this from experience.
Aaron rubbed her delicate hand and gave a dashing smile. "I'll buy it for you tomorrow." It was only a couple of hundred dollars in terms of the system's currency. He felt a bit reluctant, but for the sake of pleasing the girl, it was nothing.
Sophia exclaimed in surprise, "Tomorrow?" This was too exaggerated, wasn't it? Right tomorrow?
Aaron said in confusion, "Yes. The 4S store has already closed early today, hasn't it?"
Sophia was so excited that she could hardly believe it. "Honey, are you serious?" Her voice was trembling, and even her way of addressing him had changed.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"No... You don't." Sophia was so excited that she was almost incoherent. "But... But this is a Porsche 911."
Aaron chuckled. "So what? As long as you like it, I'll buy it for you."
"Honey, I love you so much." Sophia took the initiative to hug Aaron and kissed him all over his face.
