Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1688: His Whole World Is Only You 21
After speaking, Ding Long looked at Ding Jinshi with an accusatory glance, "Ding Jinshi, oh Ding Jinshi, I’ve really lost out big time helping you! And you have the nerve to ask me why I didn’t go on a date? What, trying to probe when our engagement can be called off? Don’t tell me, you have someone new you’re interested in?"
"How could that be? I’m just asking out of curiosity," Ding Jinshi felt awkward and quickly slipped away, really afraid that if she stayed longer, Ding Long might ask for compensation for emotional distress.
Because of the engagement party, she owed Ding Long a huge sum of money. For the past few months, she hardly dared to spend extravagantly. Every month after getting her salary, she would take out a portion to repay Ding Long, thinking Ding Long would kindly tell her that her salary wasn’t high and she should spend it on herself first, and repay when she could in the future. That way, she could conveniently take the money back to cover her own expenses for food and entertainment. Little did she know, every time she paid back the money, Ding Long would take it with a blank expression and without saying a word!
Due to repaying this debt, Ding Jinshi had been living frugally for almost half a year.
She had to take care of her car and herself. Although there wasn’t much expense for food and lodging as she stayed with Ding Long, and Ding Long didn’t ask her to share household expenses, Ding Long is a girl, going shopping just once means buying lots of things. Now that she had started working, she felt embarrassed to ask her family for money. Once she repaid Ding Long, Ding Jinshi had hardly gone out shopping in the past half year, except for the occasional outing with Chen Shan or dining out with Chen Shan and Zhou Chenyue.
Even Chen Shan and Zhou Chenyue said that Ding Jinshi became stingier after getting engaged to Ding Long. Ding Jinshi simply didn’t know whether to cry or pretend to be tough.
So, in the past half year, Ding Jinshi was really well-behaved, just commuting between work and home. Occasionally, she’d go out with Chen Shan, but it was really rare, while she went out with Ding Long more often.
Once, when the season changed, Ding Long was planning to change clothes and took Ding Jinshi out shopping. Ding Long extravagantly bought her quite a few new clothes without asking for her money. After that, whenever Ding Jinshi wanted to go shopping, she would definitely try to find ways to persuade Ding Long, her cash cow, to go out with her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Yes, she’s currently someone very poor, so she needs to cling to Ding Long, her cash cow, tightly.
In the beginning, Ding Jinshi really wanted to be careful about money matters and not take advantage of Ding Long. But later on, reality forced her to surrender.
The reality was, someone as poor and petty as her wouldn’t be able to keep clear boundaries with Ding Long, especially in financial matters. So initially, Ding Jinshi was embarrassed, but as time went by, she became quite shameless, and she finally understood the meaning of the wise saying: if a person has no sense of shame, they are invincible.
Yes, this sentence perfectly describes her, Ding Jinshi.
In the kitchen, after Ding Jinshi left, Ding Long continued kneading the dough by himself. Ding Jinshi leaving him alone in the kitchen didn’t bother him, nor did he ever expect Ding Jinshi to help out in the kitchen.
As for Ding Jinshi’s culinary skills, Ding Long never had high hopes. When she tried to help with washing vegetables, the outcome was a kitchen flooded with water, almost causing her to slip. Helping with cutting vegetables meant she’d accidentally make a couple of cuts on her own fingers. After all the fuss, it would still be Ding Long who felt distressed. Therefore, the kitchen was an area Ding Long didn’t expect Ding Jinshi to tread.
