Mais was still not satisfied, and buried his charming and enchanting face in Shi Rong's delicate shoulders.

"Do you know it's hot?"

Mais shook his head, as if to deliberately irritate her.

"I don't know. I'm not hot."

Shi Rong: ...

"Mais, you know I'm injured, right?"

Since they are biological father and son, they would naturally be discouraged by the same words.

Max tactfully loosened his arms around her, put his arm around her slender waist, and walked towards his office.

"dad."

Walu came up with a playful smile and greeted Mais.

The latter nodded and pointed to the full set of leather sofas in the room.

"Sit by yourself."

Wa Lu chuckled.

"Okay~"

Shi Rong was familiar with the place. He sat down in the seat reserved for Mais and placed the black velvet brocade box in his hand on the desk.

"Is the injury serious? Love is here."

As usual, Mais lowered himself and leaned on the edge of the table in front of her.

Love is Mays's personal physician, a Chinese American with excellent medical skills and a sharp mind. He can achieve great success with just a little help.

Shi Rong shook his head.

"Small injury."

Mais smiled, picked up a fresh strawberry that he had asked someone to wash in advance, removed the stem, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Have you ever thought that if you dress like this and take a public plane back to East City, you might be kidnapped on the way?"

???

Shi Rong's mouth froze as she chewed a strawberry. She lowered her head and looked at the little white dress and flat shoes she was wearing.

The most ordinary outfit.

"I didn't show it!"

Mays was speechless.

"Do you still need to expose yourself? You're already a fairy-level beauty dressed like this. If you wear more revealing clothes, are you going to heaven?"

Shi Rong understood.

"Sarcastic, huh?"

Tsk!

Max glared at him angrily.

"I'm praising you! You're saying I'm mocking you? What's your understanding?"

Shi Rong didn't care much and just rolled his eyes.

"Then you are overthinking."

Max no longer wanted to argue with her about this trivial issue. This woman was not making any sense anyway.

He opened the lid of the velvet brocade box, and without taking any protective measures, he stretched out his long fingers, took out the stunning snake-shaped lotus diamond, and placed it in front of Shi Rong.

The latter was stunned, but didn't say much. Anyway, Max had long been accustomed to it, so there was no point in saying anything.

"What do you think of it?"

Shi Rong didn't think about it and nodded in praise.

"Very beautiful."

Mays asked again.

"Like it?"

Shi Rong nodded again.

"Of course! If this thing were mine, I would wake up laughing in my dreams..."

"Hahahaha!"

Max was amused by her rare lecherous look and was in a good mood.

"Give it to you."

???

Shi Rong was holding a strawberry, and her five fingers, which were about to eat it, became stiff. She just thought that she had poor hearing and must have misheard.

"What did you say?"

Mais put away his smile and became serious.

"I said, this is for you."

Shi Rong was completely shocked!

She stretched out a small hand with fingers as white as scallions, pointed woodenly at the snake-shaped lotus diamond, and then pointed at herself.

"You, give it, to me?"

Mays nodded.

"Correct."

After getting a positive answer from Mais, Shi Rong stood up quickly. This time she really refused to do it.

"Are you sick? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to give it to me? Why did you ask me to steal it? Do you know that Miao Man..."

Before she could finish her scolding, Mais interrupted her with a mixture of coaxing and persuasion.

"Okay, okay...I know, don't be angry...just listen to me."

Mais held her shoulders and after a long effort, he finally managed to sit back down with his arms around her.

Ouch…

What an ancestor!

When he gets angry, he can't control himself.

"But... Huo Jiuzhou bought it for you because you said you liked it. By the time we received the notice, you had already stolen it..."

"what?"

Shi Rong was stunned.

"What does this have to do with Huo Jiuzhou?"

Mais fed her strawberries and helped her calm down.

"He paid for the snake-shaped lotus diamond and bought it as a gift for you."

???

Shi Rong was stunned again and looked at him suspiciously.

"why?"

Mais spread his hands and said it as a matter of course.

"Just because you said you liked it."

Shi Rong couldn't help but twitch his speechless mouth.

"Can I know how much he spent?"

Mays nodded.

"Of course, it didn't cost a penny."

Shi Rong: ...

"Hahahaha!"

Mais scored twice and was once again amused by her speechless expression, which made her unable to utter a single word.

After laughing, he raised his finger and pointed at the snake-shaped lotus diamond in front of Shi Rong.

"In your opinion, this Chinese treasure, carved from piles of rare and famous diamonds, has such perfect lines and details. Whose work is it more likely to be?"

Shi Rong narrowed her beautiful eyes and reacted quickly.

"North City Song Family?"

Mais nodded again.

"So, this is a priceless treasure that was exiled from Huo Jiuzhou and others, available for auction, snatching, and playing with. It's just a piece of cake for him to give it to you."

"You shouldn't ask how much he spent, but how much he lost by abruptly and forcibly interrupting the auction process."

Shi Rong was completely speechless.

"After all this time, the things your superiors asked me to steal belonged to the Huo family, right?"

Mays smiled noncommittally.

"You can understand that."

Shi Rong was very angry. He held the extremely precious snake-shaped lotus diamond in his hand and turned around proudly.

"I really don't like to pay attention to you."

"Hahahahaha!"

Mais sincerely felt that when he was angry, he was the cutest creature in the world, no doubt about it.

He turned the woman's head back.

"Putting everything else aside, just tell me whether you are happy or not?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Shi Rong still nodded honestly and showed a charming smile from the heart.

"Ah."

"so…"

Mais raised his hand and touched her soft and fragrant face lovingly.

"As long as I can make you smile, this little thing is nothing to Huo Jiuzhou. In other words, the price of making you truly happy is a bit high. Apart from Huo Jiuzhou, no one else really has the ability to do so."

Tsk!

What words is this?

When Shi Rong heard him say this, he became unhappy again.

"Hey, could you please not make me sound so realistic? If you see something beautiful, don't you like it? Isn't that human nature?"

"Hahaha!"

Mais was amused by her self-righteousness and shook his head repeatedly.

"Ying Shirong, just be thankful. It's because they're willing to pamper you. I've never seen anything with such a high market value."

After hearing this, Shi Rong's eyelids fluttered.

She said this as if she had seen it before.

After a pause, Shi Rong seemed to suddenly think of something.

"But... you have to pay the commission for stealing this diamond. You can't go back on your word just because someone gave me the target item."

Mays smiled bitterly.

"So that's why they wait until you've stolen something before giving it to you. You get your commission and something you like, the best of both worlds."
