Wu Mei actually took the initiative to invite him to dinner?
Facing Wu Mei's alluring smile, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned. He was still pondering how to change Wu Mei's negative impression of him, yet it seemed his image in her eyes had already improved... she was even inviting him to dinner!
"Well, I just helped out a bit; there's no need to treat me to dinner."
Lin Feng considered for a moment before replying politely.
This was a tactic known as 'playing hard to get.' If he accepted Wu Mei's invitation immediately, it would seem too abrupt. And if Wu Mei had just been joking, it would have been awkward. So, after Lin Feng's polite refusal, if Wu Mei extended the invitation again, he would then accept, making it seem more natural.
Just as Lin Feng expected, Wu Mei said, "It might be a small thing to you, but it's a big deal to me. Let's settle it then. Tonight at seven, Grand Hyatt Hotel. I'll book a table and text you the details."
