Chapter 501 The Embarrassing Scene

Lily was the kind of woman who meant what she said and said what she meant. No sooner had thewords left her mouth than she grabbed hold of Danny's waist and gave his flesh a painful twist.

"Ow!” Danny cried out merrily, drawing the attention of everyone around.

"Country bumpkin, what are you yelling about? D'you have any idea how embarrassing you are?”Lily glared at him, wishing the ground would swallow her up. Without daring to stay a momentlonger, she quickly dragged Danny out of there.

"Lily, you didn’t even treat me to a coffee! Why’d you drag me out like that?” Danny asked withfeigned innocence.

"Was I supposed to let you keep making a scene in there? You were making a fool of yourself!” Lilysnapped back.

"How was I making a fool of myself?” he asked, playing dumb.

"You’re asking me? You were howling in there, sounding sassier than any woman I know!" Lilyaccused him, trying to keep her voice down.

"I might be sassy, but I'm nowhere near as sassy as you, Lily! If you let out even a peep, the wholeplace would go wild!” Danny joked, dodging Lily’s glares.

"Jerk, are you talking back to me? You believe I won’t twist you into a pretzels?” Lily threatened,though a faint smile tugged at her lips.

"I believe you, but think carefully, Lily. If you twist, I'll scream louder than before! I've got no shame,so if you decide to join me in my shamelessness, give it a whirl! Go ahead and twist me in front ofeveryone!” Danny challenged her boldly.

"Country bumpkin, don’t get too full of yourself! Just wait till I replace a secluded spot; then I’ll showyou,” Lily answered him, half serious, half teasing.

"Whoa! Lily, you wanna take me somewhere private? What exactly are you planning to do? I'm adecent man, but with someone as pretty as you getting bold, I might just have to say yes,” Dannyflirted unabashedly.

"Get lost, you indecent fool!” Lily exploded, though a blush tinged her cheeks.

After a moment, her expression turned serious as she said, "I asked you here for a reason.”

"Whoa! You actually have something serious in mind?” Danny looked genuinely surprised.

"Country bumpkin, what’s that supposed to mean? Can’t I have something serious to deal with? IsJessica the only one who gets to have all the serious matters?” Lily defended herself, feeling slightlyirritated.

"If you want to deal with serious stuff, you should replace a serious person. With a guy like me, themost serious matters end up not so serious,” Danny replied with a wink.

"Less talking, country bumpkin!” Lily said, trying to stay on topic.

"So what should we talk about? You want me to untie your dress?” Danny teased, reaching for thelittle bow on Lily's dress.

Smack!

Lily slapped his hand away, scolding him. "Beat it, you indecent fool! I swear, if you keep this up, I'mtelling Jessica!”

"What are you gonna tell her? That I tugged at your dress?” Danny inched a bit closer, testing thewaters.

"You think I wouldn’t dare?” Lily raised her eyebrows, challenging him.

"In this world, there’s nothing you wouldn’t dare to do, Lily. It’s not a matter of daring; it’s that youcan’t bear to do it. If you tell her, we’d never see each apart again. And that would break yourheart,” Danny said with mock sincerity.

"Get out of here! As if I care about you that much?” Lily retorted, but deep down, she knew shedidn’t mean it.

For some reason, she enjoyed being with Danny. She found his company strangely entertaining andcouldn’t quite pinpoint why. All she knew was, time spent with this country bumpkin felt just right.
