"No need." I may feel the pinch from losing almost ten thousand, but I'm not that stingy. Just after confirming our relationship, asking a boyfriend for money makes me seem like a gold digger. "Spending money brings happiness, and I haven't played cards for more than half a year, it's a rare chance."
"As long as you're happy." Daniel Carter nodded slightly, apologetically saying, "First date after confirming our relationship and I stood you up. I was worried you might be angry. Seeing you with friends makes me feel better."
"Is that why you called?"
"Yes, I'm still busy now, probably will be until very late. You should go home early after dinner; your leg's not fully healed, take it easy."
It's New Year's holiday, everyone's celebrating and having fun, yet he has to work overtime overnight.
I felt a bit sorry for him, speaking much more gently, "Got it, don't worry about me, just focus on your work and finish early so you can rest."
"Okay, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye."
