Wait, can't you stick to your determination to support yourself? Why do you always want to borrow money from others?
At this moment, Wayne wanted to ask why he didn't ask Chris to borrow it.
But then I thought about it, I had already rejected him just now, maybe... he didn't want to be rejected by himself again.
So he had to lower his head and take another sip of coffee.
"have no idea."
Hearing this expected reply, Lawrence sighed. "It's a pity that I don't have any friendship with her..."
He held his chin with one hand, a look of distress on his face.
Why do you make it sound like I have a deep friendship with her——
Oh no, it seems that they do have a very close friendship in private.
The question is, haven't you heard about the incompatible relationship between her and Chris?
Even if you haven't paid attention to it, it's obvious that the two of them are at odds with each other from time to time in the Lily Club. As a general in Chris’s camp, it’s inappropriate to talk about this topic openly in front of me, right?
emmm...I always feel like "Is he testing me?"
"You can try it first. What if she is stupid and is willing to borrow it?" Wayne said calmly.
"Don't say that! It's not like I won't pay it back." Lawrence sounded dissatisfied.
"I have long heard that the Edgeworth family is now the richest family in the capital, and Miss Songli seems to be very wealthy. It shouldn't be a problem to lend me a little temporarily."
It was as if he wanted to use persuasion to boost his self-confidence.
Wayne, who was sitting opposite, could only stare blankly at him.
The two chatted for a while, and the wind chime at the entrance began to sway gently again.
Lawrence looked up in the direction of the sound, and happened to see Ge Li walking in alone.
His eyes lit up.
…
Song Li didn't originally plan to come for afternoon tea today.
Eating the same set meal every day, even if it was her favorite taste, she felt a little tired of it as time went by.
Previously, she had heard that there was a dessert called "Double Skin Milk" that tasted very good. She originally wanted to find the inventor of this dessert and buy the recipe.
However, upon closer inspection, I discovered that the thing was actually Chris's invention.
After knowing this, she lost interest in this store and hasn't come to it for a while.
However, the blow will not mercifully stop coming just because you don’t pay attention.
It just lies dormant, waiting for the next time it encounters a perfect opportunity, and then jumps out and gives itself a hard slap.
Just like today.
It was as if the whole school was talking about the Masquerade and the Royal Capital Morning News. Even if I didn't want to listen anymore, those words kept coming to my ears.
So she fled alone.
Unconsciously, I walked to the library.
When passing by the door of this tea restaurant, she suddenly wanted to come in and take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw that familiar figure from behind.
Opposite him sat Prince Lawrence.
After Prince Lawrence noticed him, he seemed to have something to say and waved his arms in this direction very excitedly.
——The two of them seem to have gotten very close recently.
Obviously he is from Prince Richard's family, but even in this kind of matter, he is still so skillful in his behavior of treading two boats.
Smiling with a cold expression, Song Li stepped forward.
…
Seeing Ge Li walking towards him step by step, Wayne was a little panicked.
Although he told Lawrence to go to Song Li to borrow money, he didn't expect that he would be there.
What if Ge Li's thoughts go wrong and Chi Yu is harmed?
He didn't want Songli to borrow money for his own sake, and he didn't want Songli to trouble him if he didn't pay back the debt. The best way is to remove yourself from this matter first, but Lawrence seems to be a little too impatient...
Noticing that Ge Li was staring at him, Wayne raised his hand in embarrassment.
"Hi!"
He promptly swallowed the word "wife" after this sentence.
Ge Li raised his eyebrows and stood at his table, then looked at Lawrence sitting opposite him.
"Miss Songli, please sit down, please sit down!"
Lawrence was very attentive and even took the initiative to bring the menu to Geli. "Whatever you want! Wayne's treat."
Good guy, where did you learn this skill of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha? !
I have to say, it looks very much like me back then.
Hearing this, Geli glanced at the two of them with some suspicion. "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Stop talking about all the bells and whistles. I don't have much free time to chat with you."
"Ah... Miss Songli doesn't want to sit with Wayne, right?"
Lawrence seemed to understand something. "Sorry, we didn't think carefully."
As he spoke, he winked at Wayne several times.
Wayne:? ? ?
Seeing that Wayne couldn't understand his hint, Lawrence "tsk" and lowered his voice: "You haven't sat on my side yet! Where can you let Miss Song Li sit in the middle?"
Hearing what he said, Ge Li seemed to suddenly feel that the situation was interesting, and was not ready to leave immediately. He just crossed his arms and waited for Wayne to obediently give up his position.
Wayne looked at Song Li next to him, then at Lawrence opposite him, and finally chose to give up his seat obediently and squeeze together with Lawrence.
Just think of it as a way to please Ge Li and let her dominate this time.
After reciting the word "forbearance" silently in his mind several times, Wayne calmly issued a disclaimer.
"What Lawrence is going to say next only represents his personal opinion and does not represent any personal views, so... please do not think that it is what I mean." He said in a serious tone.
Song Li gave a noncommittal "hum".
"Tell me about it." She crossed her legs and waited for the next part.
Lawrence couldn't help but rub his hands again.
He said with difficulty, "Actually, actually I want to... I want to ask Miss Songli to accept a sum of money..."
As if he was afraid that she would disagree, before she could react in any other way, Lawrence immediately added: "Of course I will definitely pay it back, guaranteeing it in the name of the Masefield family!"
This is a very serious statement. The name of the royal family still carries a lot of weight these days.
Song Li glanced at Wayne and said casually: "So, when can I pay it back?"
——Lawrence's confident expression froze.
Realizing that he had no idea when he would be able to repay the debt, Song Li's interest dropped significantly.
"Prince Lawrence, you don't think... I am easy to deceive, do you?"
She frowned.
"No, no, I just, I just have no money for the time being. I believe I can make it back soon!" Lawrence said eagerly, "Really, believe me!"
