"Invoice."
It's not like he always did things by the book.
In business, I pay and you issue the invoice.
It's perfectly reasonable.
Sheng Xian had not anticipated such a gambit from a schoolchild, and was momentarily caught off guard, standing there dumbfounded.
Having successfully left Sheng Xian speechless, Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the matter? Looking to dodge some taxes?"
Sheng Xian slightly lifted her eyelids and replied, "No, I'll give it to you another day."
Lu Jingyan uttered an "Oh", then asked, "Which day would that be?"
Without waiting for Sheng Xian to answer, Lu Jingyan leaned his face closer to hers, unabashedly bending his brows and eyes as he asked, "Is it the day I'm very much looking forward to seeing you?"
"..."
Sheng Xian gave no reply, and Lu Jingyan took her silence as acquiescence, slowly sitting up straight and picking at the pattern on the cushion as he asked, "Got plans tonight?"
Sheng Xian: "Hm?"
