Chapter 75 - Boyfriend Rental Service
"Why did you ignore my call?" Duan Le asked in a depressed tone. The feeling of having your call ignored was akin to being rejected after a confession, which would hurt one's ego.
"There are too many marketing calls, so I generally don't answer a call from an unknown number." Su Tao felt Duan Le was being bossy without any courtesy, even they have only met once.
Duan Le felt uncomfortable; she called Su Tao with a request and had gotten her call rejected right from the start. Thus, she felt a little humiliated in her heart. However, she managed to restrain her temper very well and asked, "Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to go with me somewhere!"
Knitting his brows, Su Tao subconsciously felt that there seemed to be another story behind that intention, so he probed, "You're asking me to put up a show with you, right?"
Duan Le was surprised about having her intentions seen through by Su Tao. While pondering about how Su Tao could be so sharp despite his young age, she did not deny and replied, "It's not that complicated. There's a ball tonight, and I'd like to invite you to join me."
"Why should I agree with you? For a beautiful anchor like you, isn't it easy for you to find a dance partner?" Su Tao sighed.
Duan Le knitted her brows, since she never expected Su Tao to be so unfriendly. "If you're willing to help me, then I'll owe you a favour. On the contrary, if you're unwilling, then I'll call my Brother-in-Law right now and tell him that you're running from your responsibility after playing with me."
Su Tao instantly felt speechless. He never expected Duan Le to be so overbearing. How did he play with her again? Furthermore, her method for resolving the matter was truly unexpected; her method was unruly, which made Su Tao feel a little interested. Since she's a beauty, then he'd forgive her this once.
Rubbing his nose, Su Tao chuckled, "Sure, come and fetch me tonight, then. Since we're going to a ball, I must dress well, so make preparations for it. Otherwise, you're the one that will be embarra.s.sed."
Duan Le was stunned, before she sourly replied, "Why should I prepare what you're going to wear?"
"Isn't that common sense? I'm the actor here, and you're the director. Shouldn't the director decide on the clothes of the actor to be compatible with the storyline?" Su Tao nodded his head.
After gently tapping her lips, Duan Le replied, "Fine, I never expected you to be so troublesome. I'll come and pick you up at 4 p.m."
A melodious song of Für Elise drifted in the Café, adding a relaxing romantic atmosphere. There were flowers on the table that emanated a light fragrance, along with a relaxing coffee fragrance. The café had brown floorings with books neatly arranged on the bookshelf behind the seats. There's a bookmark on the right side of the bookshelf that's convenient for customers.
Duan Le flipped through the pages with one hand while constantly stirring the coffee with a teaspoon and occasionally looked out of the window. Su Tao finally came out of the washroom. He had changed into a black suit with a necktie. Looking at his appearance, Duan Le's eyes lit up before she walked over and straightened out his collar, while brus.h.i.+ng the lower end of the blazer. She was satisfied with her work and commented, "Pretty energetic!"
While Duan Le's gaze was on Su Tao, Su Tao's gaze was on her as well. She had a fair and glossy skin with her lips emanating a sweet fragrance. He shrugged. "Rest a.s.sured, as a qualified rental boyfriend, I will shoulder my own responsibilities and not embarra.s.s you."
