Chapter 35.2 It really takes a thousand lies to make up for one lie.

Bai Duanduan looked at the cart of groceries and snacks that she had picked out and then thought that she had been in the queue for fifteen minutes already and had paid a huge sunk cost. She debated whether she wanted to return the cart and come back next time, or give the cart to the staff and go home to collect the money and queue again. Neither of the options were acceptable…can just ask someone to borrow money? Bai Duanduan looked around, her own phone now failing to turn on, what can she rely on to gain trust to borrow money ah…

It’s probably true when people say sky’s the limit. Bai Duanduan was carefully looking everywhere and finally she was able to see the light at the end!

Who was it that walked in from the entrance of the supermarket, if not Ji Lin?

Across the bustling crowd at the entrance of the supermarket, Ji Lin’s handsome face looked cold and affectionate from a distance. He was tall and had long legs, but he was not thin and slender. The straight, slender legs beneath the suit trousers were revealed when he walked with a slight stride. The slim fit pants even revealed the flow of his calf muscles and the shape of his hip that perfectly held up the trousers.

Bai Duanduan vaguely remembered reading in a fashion magazine that there were five types of buttocks for men: those that were too flat to hold up the trousers; those that were too fat; those that were too perky; those that were so fit that they look hard and those that were the most sexy and suitable for wearing suit trousers – those kind that look thin when dressed, and meaty when undressed. A man with such hip has just the right proportion of muscle. Minus one point would look too loose, add one point would be too much.

And hips were to men as breasts were to women, more or less with the same ambiguous hormonal aura…..

Bai Duanduan used to scoff at these magazines, what’s so good about a hip shape? Wasn’t it just an as$? What’s the point of talking so elegantly? Does a different word make it more sophisticated? How can a butt look good? What mattered to a man was his face! What’s so attractive about a nice a$s? She thought it was simply baffling, what was so sexy about a man’s a$s?

However, now looking at Ji Lin who walked into the supermarket while answering the phone with a slight frown, Bai Duanduan felt that …… Some words of people were not really bluff. To be fair, Ji Lin’s hip, indeed, was quite good …… expensive custom suit trousers wrapped around a taut hip line, linked underneath with strong and firm thigh muscles, and then straight and slender calves …… just watching Ji Lin walking was quite aesthetically pleasing. He deserved to be called “walking bag of hormones”.

This man’s body and face were a little too good-looking. In addition, the tofu was also so delicious. Although a little stingy and hard to get along with, he has so many advantages to look at, plus he earns a lot more….. Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin’s figure for a moment and felt herself getting a bit on top again. Let’s say if Ji Lin came to pursue her, it’s not like she couldn’t reluctantly try with him….

But soon, Bai Duanduan didn’t want to try it with him.

She greeted and asked the two old aunts in the front and back of the queue to hold her place, then put down her shopping cart and ran to Ji Lin. Now the situation was like meeting an old friend in another country, where the surroundings had turned into beautiful scenery full of bright and happy colours. Bai Duanduan decided to put aside her slightly ambiguous feelings and imagination for the moment and borrow money from Ji Lin to settle her bill first —

“Ji Lin! Can you lend me three hundred yuan? I don’t have my wallet with me and my phone is broken!”

Bai Duanduan’s voice was clearly quite audible, but Ji Lin frowned beautifully and then looked at her, “What?”

Bai Duanduan had to patiently raise her voice a little more, “Lend me three hundred yuan! I’ll pay you back later! It better be cash, if you don’t have cash you can just pay it off for me with your phone!”

“I have cash.”

Bai Duanduan sighed with relief, “That’s great! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It really saved my….”

Before Bai Duanduan could finish the last word “life”, she heard Ji Lin, who was standing across her say in a cold tone—

“But I won’t lend you any money.”

? ? ?

Why? ! What did she do to offend him? ! Bai Duanduan wanted to roar, was she caught while looking at his butt more than once just now?

Bai Duanduan said with a guilty conscience, “Ji Lin! Do me a favour! I promise I’ll never make money from my colleagues again…….One’s grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a gushing spring. 1 it is saying which basically means that even if one gets a drop of water as help, they should repay that help with a gush of water in the future. I’ll remember your kindness!”

“No, I don’t lend money to people, that’s my principle.” Ji Lin pursed his lips, “Because once a person starts borrowing money from you, you have to be mentally prepared that the other party won’t repay the money.”

“….”

Bai Duanduan felt that she got carried away in emotions for a while there. Surprisingly she even dared to think that Ji Lin wouldn’t slice her with his knife. This man who prides himself on being stingy and was so meticulous in calculating and charging his client in second, how could he be willing to lend money….. she really drifted into oblivion and had the audacity to ask Ji Lin for money…..

The face of Ji Lin, who had been asked for money, was still stinky, “And has anyone ever told you that you, a woman, can’t reach out to men for money, especially to borrow money, not even a few hundred. Some men might lend you money for other purposes, such as with a motive of taking advantage of you later, do you think you’re worth a few hundred?”

“……”

Ji Lin was really a bit like her dad with this talk and he was even doing it to her face……

It seems that there was no way to borrow money from him ……

Bai Duanduan was about to accept her fate and turn around to go home to get the money, when Ji Lin called out to her again, “You wait.”

Just when Bai Duanduan thought that Ji Lin hadn’t finished his lecture and wanted to stop her for further criticism, she saw Ji Lin coldly reaching out for his wallet and pulling out four red banknotes in an almost fluid movement.

Bai Duanduan almost stared a little blankly at this set of moves by Ji Lin.

Was this Ji Lin’s …… way of lending herself money? But hadn’t he just ……

? ? ?

In contrast to Bai Duanduan’s shock, Ji Lin was calm, “Okay, I’ll lend you, don’t owe someone else a favor for a few hundred. Conduct yourself with dignity.” He coughed and turned his head, “Don’t worry, I’m the only one in this world who won’t try to get to you like other men.”

Bai Duanduan’s frothy behavior made Ji Lin frown, and he glanced at Bai Duanduan, “Not enough?”

“Enough, it is enough!” Bai Duanduan hurriedly took the note in gratitude and returned one to Ji Lin, “I only need three hundred, that’s enough!”

“You can take the four hundred.” Ji Lin gave Bai Duanduan a look, “Didn’t you say that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring? I have given you so many drops, so remember to gush more in return for me. Usually don’t sleep at home when you have nothing to do. You should go to the firm and work overtime. Working overtime is good for your physical and mental health. Don’t write me a bad check, pay me back with practical actions, make this four hundred worthwhile for me.”

“……” Bai Duanduan felt in a trance that Ji Lin had lent herself not four hundred, but four million ……

Sure enough, all gifts of fate have been secretly marked with a price……

But didn’t this man himself just say that he had no intentions for her? Was this not a fcking attempt to get herself to work more overtime in future? ? ?

“Why don’t you just stop lending me, I can’t afford to pay for this, and I’d rather not work overtime ……”

“Bai Duanduan, I advise you to cherish the opportunity that I am willing to lend money and am not yet going to pull the plug on you.”

“….”

“As for when you will repay me, a person like me will naturally not force you.” Ji Lin looked down at his phone, “I’m leaving.” He waved his hand impatiently towards Bai Duanduan, “Take my four hundred and stay away from me, don’t bother me.”

He finished his sentence in a cold and noble manner, and walked away on his legs in front of Bai Duanduan’s dumbfounded eyes.

Looking at Ji Lin’s back as he walked away, Bai Duanduan had to admit that this man can really have his way without even opening his mouth. His figure was simply like runway models, but once he opened his mouth, no piece of armor was left on opponent’s body…..

In any case, since he was willing to lend money, then Bai Duanduan also simply felt at ease and thought she could use it as she liked. That’s right, could Ji Lin still press her head to make her work overtime?

Bai Duanduan, calm down, you are the best!
