Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more!-Chapter 292 - 197: Shen Mumu’s Intentional Temptation, Wu Wei Thoroughly Enjoys Being Pampered (Part 3)

"No."

Wu Wei didn't even think about it, and directly uttered two words indifferently.

Shen Mumu's movement holding the phone froze, and the smile on her face solidified for a moment.

She completely didn't expect to be rejected so bluntly by Wu Wei.

In the past, whenever she used this trick, it seldom failed.

A close photo with the "target" not only serves as a tool to deepen relationships but sometimes also becomes a "chip" or "proof" in some delicate situations.

Yet, her ability to adjust her emotions was astonishingly fast.

Just half a second of astonishment later, she pouted, started to act coquettishly, and snuggled closer to Wu Wei, elongating her tone: "Just one photo, okay? Just one! This is our first time having a meal together, I want to keep a memory of it, Brother Wei~"

Her voice was soft and sweet, her eyes filled with pleading, making anyone harden their heart against her.

However, Wu Wei still shook his head.

Then he picked up a knife and fork, and said to her, "Let's eat, it would affect the taste if it gets cold."

Shen Mumu encountered a gentle rejection once again.

Looking at Wu Wei's expressionless face, she felt both frustrated and uneasy inside and didn't dare to pester anymore.

She awkwardly withdrew her phone, sat up straight, and her smile appeared slightly forced.

However, once she picked up the fork, that sweet and natural smile returned to her face, as if the little episode just now had never happened.

The steak at Red House was already cut into pieces, convenient for customers to eat.

Shen Mumu used her fork to pick up a properly sized, juicy piece of steak but did not eat it herself. Instead, she reached across the small table and placed the piece of meat naturally on Wu Wei's plate.

"This looks really good, you should try it first."

Her voice was gentle, her eyes clear and calm, as if this slightly intimate gesture was just a normal sharing between friends.

Wu Wei paused for a moment, and looked up at her.

Shen Mumu met his gaze, her eyes so clean without a trace of impurity, even carrying a hint of expectation, waiting for him to comment on the taste of the steak.

He withdrew his gaze, used a fork to bring the piece of steak into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and nodded: "Hmm, not bad, quite tender."

The smile on Shen Mumu's face immediately deepened, her brows curved, as if she had received a huge affirmation.

She repeated the action, giving Wu Wei a piece of peeled lobster meat: "Try this too."

...

The whole meal, Shen Mumu, aside from occasionally lowering her head to elegantly nibble at her relatively small portion of salad, focused almost entirely on Wu Wei.

As soon as the drink reached halfway, she would immediately refill his glass, the napkin would always be timely handed over, and the topics kept flowing one after another.

From interesting dance rehearsals at school to encountering various peculiar customers during her part-time job at mall counters, her voice always maintained a gentle and pleasant tone.

While talking about a troublesome customer, she'd add a hint of a coquettish grievance tone, complain a bit, then quickly laugh to herself and say "But it was quite fun too."

Wu Wei let her perform, contentedly enjoying this meticulous pampering.

Having lived over twenty years, he finally experienced firsthand what it felt like to be so diligently pleased by a beautiful, clever girl, even with a hint of "fawning".

Indeed... very nice!

No wonder those women enjoy being adored, coaxed, men spending both money and effort to pursue them.

This feeling of being valued, catered to, treated with caution is truly intoxicating.

After the meal, the waiter came over and gently placed the bill in the center of the table.

Wu Wei picked up the napkin to wipe his mouth, leaned back against the soft chair back, glanced at it but showed no intention of picking it up.

Shen Mumu's heart "thudded".

Why didn't Wu Wei say anything, is he not planning to pay the bill voluntarily?

This realization brought a strong sense of surprise and confusion to her heart.

Based on her past experience and the "script," by this point, the man should naturally take the bill, even without letting her see the exact numbers, and simply swipe or scan in a free manner.

Wu Wei's reaction was completely out of her plan.

However, after a brief surprise, what surged in her heart wasn't resentment or disappointment towards Wu Wei.

She quickly found an explanation: truly wealthy people are indeed different from those who flaunt a little money or pretend to be rich.

They have principles, they mean what they say.

She already said she'd treat him, so he was really letting her treat.

This "seriousness" instead conveyed a certain indescribable confidence and style.

If it were those previous "bootlickers" who circled around her, even if they can only afford instant noodles for the rest of the month, they would surely fight to pay the bill and never let her spend a penny.

Compared to them, this is superior.

Once she figured this out, although her heart still ached over the 1550 yuan, since for a student like her, it was no small amount.

Yet it was suppressed by another stronger expectation in her heart.

You can't catch the wolf if you're unwilling to sacrifice the child.

As long as this time her "keeping promises" and "generous" performance leaves a good impression on Wu Wei, paving the way for future "strategies", the returns could be a hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand times!

What is 1550 yuan, what she could get in time could be more than 15.5 million!

With a quick turn of thoughts, she adjusted her expression.

Her face didn't show any unwillingness or hesitation; instead, it revealed a bright smile of "promise kept", as she naturally reached for the bill.

"Is the money enough, or let me pay?"

Wu Wei was aware of every subtle change in Shen Mumu's expression and deliberately said.

"No need, I've promised to treat you."

Her tone was light, and she immediately took out her phone to scan the code, displaying a generous demeanor.

Seeing her actually pay the bill, Wu Wei objectively raised his evaluation of her a bit more.

She has the scheme, the methods, clear purposes, that's for sure.

But at least, compared to many girls nowadays who only know how to take, think men spending money is their duty, but themselves not spending a dime, she was a bit more "sincere" and "smart".

She knows how to invest, and dares to invest, even if that investment seems "loss-making" in the short term.
