"Eh!"
Seeing her action, Luofeng thought for a moment and didn’t press further; moreover, his good feeling for her also rose a notch.
Luofeng really appreciated a young lady like her, one with principles.
She hadn’t succumbed to the temptation of something worth over eight hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, Luofeng wasn’t foolish; he could tell whether this was a case of playing the long game to catch a big fish.
What girls fear most is accepting expensive gifts from men. Once they do, the relationship is bound to become significantly more involved.
Perhaps she’d already consider him a prospective boyfriend.
Perhaps some women, even if they were in a relationship, wouldn’t accept expensive gifts from their boyfriends.
"So, may I ask Miss Lu, what exactly is going on between you and Mr. Xia?"
Although Luofeng suspected it was likely about some unspoken rules, he wasn’t clear on the specifics.
"Do you have time, Mr. Luo? If you do, may I buy you a coffee?" After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yaqing finally spoke.
"Of course, I have time. But let me treat you to coffee," Luofeng nodded and agreed. "Old rules: you pick the place, how about that?"
"Sure, let’s go to Antique Rose over there." Lu Yaqing pointed outside. "It’s quite close."
Soon, she put on her mask and sunglasses, and the two of them left Tan’s Restaurant side by side.
The waiter who had served them watched them leave. He had been gossiping that this woman came to such an upscale place but supposedly couldn’t afford the expensive dishes. But then another male waiter corrected him, saying she had arrived in a Rolls-Royce. This puzzled the first waiter. If she was so rich, why order inexpensive dishes? They discussed it and concluded that perhaps she genuinely wanted to eat something light and not heavy dishes.
"Driver, we’re going to Antique Rose; it’s nearby too."
After getting in the car, Luofeng gave the instruction.
The Rolls-Royce then drove out of the parking lot.
"Driver Wang, go get something to eat. We might be talking for a while."
Ten minutes later, Luofeng arrived at the Antique Rose Coffee Shop. After Driver Wang parked the car, Luofeng generously pulled out ten hundred yuan bills for him.
If it were an ordinary driver, Luofeng would have given him 200 yuan, and that would have been sufficient.
But for a driver of such a luxury car, who likely chauffeured guests of high-end establishments, he couldn’t be too stingy.
It wasn’t because Luofeng feared being mocked, but because he had the money, didn’t mind, and the driver seemed like a decent person.
"Oh, and Master Wang, could you please put this in the trunk for me?" Luofeng added.
This was the watch worth over eight hundred thousand yuan that Lu Yaqing had returned.
It would be rather awkward to keep holding it, wouldn’t it?
Soon, Luofeng and Lu Yaqing arrived at a private room in the coffee shop.
A place like this didn’t just offer coffee or other drinks; simple cocktails and sparkling wines were also available.
If he had ordered alcohol right away, even a low-alcohol one, she would have politely made do for a short while before making an excuse to leave. But if it was just juice, she was willing to chat more with this young man.

Since he could perceive her underlying desires, Luofeng could perfectly sidestep such a test.
Her test was quite clever. If Luofeng didn’t ask if she wanted a drink, he would seem like a typical clueless guy, because this was a ladies’ wine. But knowing her intentions, Luofeng preferred to play the clueless guy.
