Altair Mo looked at Bun, then at the watermelon slices on the table, and his handsome eyebrows instantly formed a slight frown.
Jade Springfield noticed that Altair Mo hadn't eaten it, and said coldly, "You don't have to suppress him. I won't take your money."
"Good." Altair Mo picked up the piece with the least amount of watermelon seeds, because he felt that spitting out watermelon seeds was not very elegant and would affect his image.
"Ptooi, ptoo…" Lucien Goldstein spit out two watermelon seeds, and while he still had watermelon pulp in his mouth, he said to Jade Springfield. "This watermelon is very sweet, but it has too many seeds."
Altair Mo looked at Lucien Goldstein and found that he didn't care about his image at all. He thought, "You are one of the aristocratic children of the aristocratic circle of the Imperial City. Although they say that when you are in Rome, do what the Romans do, you shouldn't be so indifferent to your own image, right?"
While Altair Mo was thinking about this, he saw Jade Springfield spit out watermelon seeds from the corner of her eye. When the black seeds came out of her soft lips, well... it was quite a pleasant sight.
After she finished eating the watermelon, Jade Springfield gave a simple account of what happened yesterday. Once she finished listening, Altair Mo understood what happened: Jade Springfield had saved Bun from the kidnappers. And indeed she was capable of doing so, considering her strength.
"Thank you." Altair Mo was very sincere.
"Don't mention it. I didn't put much effort into it." As Jade Springfield spoke, she ruffled Bun's hair. Bun sat on a bench and lay on Jade Springfield's legs. He seemed very relaxed and was in a great state of comfort..
"This may be nothing to you, but to me, it is a great flavor." Once Altair Mo finished speaking, he remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Continue." Jade Springfield thought that Altair Mo wanted to ask about the kidnapping yesterday.
Altair Mo's gaze became even more solemn and stern, and as Altair Mo's expression changed, the others in the house also felt the atmosphere become more somber. After a long time, Altair Mo spoke.
"Are you married?"
Silence. The house became very quiet.
Altair Mo's sudden question caused Jade Springfield's beautiful and calm face to color with surprise for a moment. Lucien Goldstein and Dante Westwood looked on with equally dumbfounded expressions. Before Altair Mo asked that question, they thought he would ask about the kidnappers. They didn't expect this question out of nowhere.
"Why are you asking me this?" Jade Springfield asked with a frown.
"This is very important to me. I hope you can answer," Altair Mo was very sincere.
Jade Springfield might have been confused, but when she saw how stern Altair Mo looked, she said, "No."
Altair Mo exhaled slowly and seemed a little more relaxed. "So you have a boyfriend?"
Jade Springfield narrowed her eyes and looked at Altair Mo. Her eyebrows, which looked like black smoke, remained in the same position. "What do you mean exactly?"
Altair Mo sat up straight and placed his hands on his knees. Due to the angle at which he was sitting, when the sunlight outside the door illuminated him, the lighting illustrated the lines of the man's well-built body. He looked like a nobleman!
"I told you before that I owe you a big favor for saving Bun. I have thought about it, and it is too vulgar to reward you with money. So I have decided to be engaged to you in marriage, and I will go to Civil Registry Affairs with you."
Thud!
Lucien Goldstein's phone slipped from his grasp and landed on the floor. But since it was a good phone, there was not a single crack on the screen.
Of course, Lucien Goldstein wouldn't be in the mood to worry about his phone in this situation. What was happening right now was too shocking!
When he told Dante Westwood that Altair Mo had gone to the village to look for a companion, he was actually just joking.
And now...
