When Feng heard Elena mention that she was going to treat him to a meal, his eyes widened in surprise.
He hadn't expected such an offer—after all, they were basically strangers who had only met by chance.
They barely knew each other, and just a few minutes ago, she had even threatened his life.
When Elena noticed that Feng didn't immediately accept her offer, she suddenly felt a bit nervous.
She wasn't sure why she cared about his opinion, but despite herself, she still spoke up.
"Only if it's not a bother, of course."
She tried to keep her voice as calm as usual, though something about this situation felt unfamiliar to her.
All her life, boys her age had either gawked at her beauty, trying to win her favor, or pursued her because of her father's reputation and status.
They all had an agenda—either for her face or for the power she represented.
If one of them managed to win her affections, it could elevate their entire family's status overnight.
