86

As a super-rich second-generation heir, Luo Di wasn't just about clubbing, racing, and other such activities.

Occasionally, he would also read books to enrich his knowledge.

Just like now.

"You're awake?"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Luo Di looked up and saw Daisy standing at the doorway, looking flustered, so he smiled and greeted her.

"Um... where's Gwen?"

Daisy was a bit hesitant to face Luo Di, mainly because of what happened last night, which she had thought about all night without finding the best way to handle it.

Actually, Daisy had considered leaving so she wouldn't feel guilty.

But she couldn't bear to.

So, after agonizing all night, she still couldn't make a final decision.

She could only stall for now!

"Oh, Gwen, she came this morning. As for now..."

Luo Di glanced at his watch and said, "She should be rehearsing."

"Oh, right!"

"Gwen said she wants to have dinner together tonight. Good thing you're awake, otherwise, I would have had to come wake you up soon."

Dinner together tonight?

Daisy was a little panicked.

After what happened last night, she was now very afraid to see Gwen.

Because every time she saw her, Daisy's mind would imagine Gwen questioning her about why she stole her boyfriend.

"Um, can I not go?"

Daisy said with difficulty.

"Not go?"

Luo Di put down his book, stood up, walked to Daisy, and looked at her.

"Reason?"

He asked.

"Um... my stomach doesn't feel well!"

Daisy said, clutching her stomach.

Luo Di glanced at her and shook his head.

"Too fake, try another one."

"..."

Daisy was silent for a moment.

"I'm not hungry, I'm on a diet!"

She said again.

But as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach rumbled.

Luo Di couldn't help but laugh.

"You were like this last time too. Your stomach is more honest than you are."

He said with a smile.

Seeing Luo Di's jovial appearance, Daisy couldn't help but get angry.

"It's all your fault!"

Daisy grumbled angrily.

"What did you say?"

Luo Di asked.

"No, nothing!" Daisy quickly said, "I said I need to change clothes, hurry up and get out!"

With that, she pushed Luo Di out and then slammed the room door shut.

Standing at the doorway, Luo Di shook his head at the closed door, then turned around, went back to the sofa, sat down, and continued reading.

...

Evening;

Gwen arrived at Paradise Tower exactly at five o'clock.

Then Luo Di drove the same Cullinan as before, taking both her and Daisy to the reserved restaurant.

Along the way, Gwen chattered incessantly with Daisy.

And Daisy responded occasionally, but anyone could tell that Daisy had something on her mind.

Gwen didn't think much of it, only feeling that Daisy might be thinking of her parents again.

So she chatted with Daisy even more enthusiastically.

She thought of using some interesting topics to distract Daisy, to help her emerge from her sadness.

But Gwen's understanding demeanor made Daisy feel even more guilty.

Gwen is so good, and I actually wanted to steal her boyfriend. I'm practically not human!

As Daisy thought this, she looked up and saw Luo Di's gaze in the rearview mirror of the car, looking at her.

That look seemed to be mocking her, making Daisy glare back fiercely. 7

Luo Di felt inexplicable. He had only looked back out of curiosity, so why was Daisy suddenly glaring at him? 1

Was he too much last night? 2

But he hadn't gone any further, had he? 5

This dinner was eaten with the three people having different thoughts. 7

Daisy's heart was filled with both guilt towards Gwen and anger at Luo Di for mocking her. 6

And Gwen was simply concerned about Daisy, wanting to help her move past her sadness and embrace a new life. 3

As for Luo Di? 6

He was glared at by Daisy eleven times throughout the meal and kicked twice under the table. 8

He was like a complete punching bag.

Luo Di considered himself someone who had experienced countless romantic encounters, but a woman like Daisy, with such unpredictable emotions, was truly a first for him.

She was clearly so shy yesterday, looking as if she could be easily bullied.

But today, she looked at him with complete disdain.

Both glaring and kicking him.

What exactly did this woman mean?

Luo Di was a bit confused.

On the way home that night, Luo Di was still thinking about what happened during dinner.

Just then, his phone, which was placed beside him, rang.

Luo Di pressed the answer button in the car.

Then Harry's voice came through the car's speakers.

"Luo Di, are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Luo Di glanced at the two women chatting in the back seat, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, I'm free. What's up?"

"Nothing urgent, it's just that yacht party I told you about last time. You couldn't make it last time, right? I was thinking of throwing another one for you. Coincidentally, there's a girl group from Korea performing in the US these past two days. I've already invited their manager, and they've confirmed they'll be on the boat."

"Didn't you used to like those Korean female celebrities? This time, I've invited an entire girl group for you. How about it? Am I a good brother or what?"

You really are a good brother!

Luo Di looked at the two women in the back seat, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Gwen was fine, actually. When she decided to be with Luo Di, she had already decided to accept all of Luo Di's strengths and weaknesses.

Undoubtedly;

Being a playboy was one of Luo Di's weaknesses.

She had known this for a long time.

The first time she met Luo Di, she knew this man wasn't a stable person.

And in this World, which country's rich second-generation isn't a playboy?

Rich people are all playboys.

Or rather...

All men are playboys; the only difference is that some men can only think about it, but others have the means to act on it.

Actually, as long as Luo Di had her in his heart and truly loved her, that was enough for Gwen!

And Luo Di's performance over the past few months was enough to show that he was sincere towards her.

So, occasionally going out to have fun, or just playing along, Gwen actually didn't mind.

"It's fine, if you want to go, just go."

Gwen said generously.

At this moment, Harry on the other end of the phone also heard Gwen's voice and immediately knew that his call was ill-timed.

"Ahem~! Gwen, you're there too. Hello!"

Harry awkwardly greeted Gwen, then said, "Well, I suddenly remembered I seem to have a very important meeting tomorrow. How about next time?"

"Alright, next time it is."

Luo Di hung up the phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Harry's call was indeed ill-timed.

If it had been any other time, Luo Di would have definitely agreed.

But right now, in front of Gwen, even though Gwen herself had said she didn't mind Luo Di playing around outside as long as he didn't bring women home.

But saying is one thing; if Luo Di had actually agreed to such a thing in front of Gwen, it would definitely make Gwen feel uncomfortable.

Therefore;

Using Harry's clumsy excuse, Luo Di took the opportunity to refuse.

After the call ended, a hint of a smile also flickered in Gwen's eyes.

Luo Di refusing Harry's invitation because she was present was, in Gwen's eyes, a sign of his love for her.

If she wasn't in his heart, he wouldn't care about her feelings at all.

The fact that he did this now, didn't it just show that he cared about her?

Gwen felt sweet inside, and her gaze towards Luo Di was filled with love.

But this made Daisy, who was beside her, very confused.

She had just heard the person on the phone talk about a yacht party, and then something about a Korean girl group, and that Luo Di used to love that kind of thing the most.

Didn't this just mean that Luo Di was a playboy?

And he hadn't changed even now!

But why did Gwen just actively tell him to agree?

Didn't Gwen care at all?
