409 No Intention to Keep This From You

"I didn't say that I don't trust you." Mu Xiaoxiao leaned into his embrace and pouted as she looked in the direction that Betty had disappeared to. "Tell me then; what plan do you have up your sleeve? How are you going to punish her?" she asked, displeased.

Yin Shaojie stroked the hair at her temples and said, "I wasn't planning to keep this from you. Let's find a place to talk."

He held her hand, and they left the cinema.

———-

At the counter of a luxury brand of a shopping mall on the cruise ship.

When Yin Shaojie's tall silhouette appeared, Betty smiled beautifully and raised her hand to wave him over.

"Why are you so slow? I waited for you for so long, and I thought that the waiter hadn't conveyed my message to you." Betty walked towards him, and her arms snaked around his.

Yin Shaojie's looked elegant and calm as he let her hug her arm.

"I apologize for the wait," his magnetic voice said.

Upon hearing his mesmerizing, subwoofer-like voice, her eyes glazed over with infatuation. "It wasn't long. It'll never be long if you're the one I'm waiting for."

"What are you looking at?" Yin Shaojie followed her to the counter.

There were a few jewelry cases on the glass counter, and in them were large diamond necklaces.

The shop assistant smiled accommodatingly. "Miss Betty would like to pick out a new necklace for tonight's banquet."

Betty asked him deliberately, "You're going to tonight's banquet, right? Do you already have a partner?"

She ogled seductively at Yin Shaojie as she said this.

Yin Shaojie smiled lightly and replied as she wished, "Not yet; how about you? Do you have a partner already? If not…"

Betty was delighted as though she had been waiting for him to reply like this.

Thus, she nodded immediately. "No, no. How could I already have a partner? Say, don't you think we're really fated? It's just as well that I don't have a partner, and neither do you. How about…"

She pretended to look shy and stopped talking at the end.

Of course, Yin Shaojie accommodated her desires and continued, "Then, are you willing to be my partner?"

"I'm very honored," Betty said as she looked into his eyes and smiled.

Yin Shaojie said generously, "Pick out any necklace then. Take it as my gift to you."

"Oh, how could I?"

Even though she uttered this, Betty had already turned her head around and was already picking out her necklace impatiently, and she was even picking out those with the most gigantic diamonds.

Thus, she failed to notice Yin Shaojie's scheming smile behind her

Soon, Betty picked out a few necklaces that she liked. However, the diamonds from this brand was too expensive.

Even though she was a rich missy and also William's cousin, she didn't have that much money.

When compared to other people, Betty's allowance was considered really big, at about tens of thousands of American dollars.

However, her expenditure was huge, and she always had to go for the big brands. Thus, her monthly allowance was always not enough.

She actually had a lot of boyfriends and was always scheming about how to get them to buy all kinds of things for her.

However, a normal diamond necklace from this brand cost hundreds of thousands. Moreover, she liked a few of them, and with each costing hundreds of thousands, she obviously couldn't afford them!

Betty was extremely excited, for she had never imagined Yin Shaojie to be so rich and generous.
