Good Morning, Mister Dragon!

Ever since Su Qianxun told Long Sijue that her pay was here, he had been acting strange. After they arrived at the restaurant, he sat by the table without saying a thing. He reached out for a cigarette and was about to light it.

“Smoking too much isn’t good for your health. Do try your best not to smoke so much.” Su Qianxun extended her hand and took the cigarette from him. She then placed it back in the cigarette box.

Long Sijue’s gaze fell upon her face. Su Qianxun was actually feeling diffident. She was scared that he would fly into a rage, but she really did not want him to see him smoke anymore.

“From now onwards, I’ll give you 5 million RMB every month as your pocket money.” Long Sijue suddenly said as he fixed his gaze on her.

A little shocked, Su Qianxun raised her head to look at him. She thought that she was hearing things. He actually wanted to give her pocket money, and a sum of five million RMB a month at that!

“You can let me know if it’s not enough. You can also withdraw whatever sum of money you want yourself.”

“I don’t need it.” Su Qianxun refused without even thinking about it.

When Long Sijue saw that Su Qianxun had refused his offer without hesitation, his gaze slowly turned cold. He clenched his fist, which was rested on the table, tightly.

“What I mean is that… the agreement doesn’t say that you need to give me any money.” Su Qianxun looked meekly at him. He was emanating such a dreary aura that she felt suffocated.

“This is what I want to give to you!” Long Sijue said very firmly.

“I really…”

Su Qianxun was about to continue refusing the money when someone opened the door of the private lounge. Tang Zui and Gu Mian walked in, one after another. Tang Zui had heard their conversation, and he quickly said, “Wow, you guys are here early. I tried my best to hurry up, but it turns out that I’m still late.”

“It’s all my fault. Something came up on our way here, and that’s why we’re late.” Gu Mian noticed that something was not quite right between the two of them too, and she quickly acted as a peacemaker. She then dragged Su Qianxun out of her chair and said, “Can you accompany me to the bathroom? My stomach is a bit upset.”

Su Qianxun glanced anxiously at Long Sijue. When she saw that he showed no objection, she rose and left the private lounge with Gu Mian.

After the two of them left, Tang Zui sat down and asked, “What’s going on?”

Long Sijue said nothing. He took a cigarette, slipped it between his lips and started smoking.

When Tang Zui saw that Long Sijue had no intention of spilling the beans, he did not force Long Sijue to do so. He immediately called a service crew member over. “Bring the menus over. I want to place my order now.”

After Gu Mian exited the bathroom cubicle, she saw how dispirited the young woman beside her looked as she was washing her hands. “What’s up with you and Sir Jue again?”

“He said just now that he wants to give me five million RMB a month as my pocket money. I refused.” Su Qianxun’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

“I would have done the same. Don’t fret, it’ll be fine.” Gu Mian took Su Qianxun by the hand and dragged her back to the private lounge. She knew very well what was on Su Qianxun’s mind. If she were to accept Long Sijue’s money, what would become of her?

She was not worried that Long Sijue would harm Su Qianxun for real at all, though. After all, she knew very well that Long Sijue doted on Su Qianxun very much.

By the time both of them were back at the private lounge, Si Mancheng had arrived too. Tang Zui immediately made Si Mancheng drink a glass of beer as a punishment for being late.

Everyone had a great meal. Su Qianxun could not tell whether Long Sijue was enjoying himself. He seemed aloof and disinterested as usual.

Su Qianxun called a service crew member over for the bill. Tang Zui immediately suggested, “Why don’t we spend the eve of Chinese New Year together? The more the merrier, right?”

“I think that this is quite a good suggestion.” Si Mancheng immediately agreed. As a single man, he definitely did not want to spend the eve of Chinese New Year alone.

“Jue, what do you think?” Tang Zui asked the man who had been silent throughout the meal.
