Chapter 501 The Embarrassing Scene

Lily was the kind of woman who meant what she said and said what she meant. No sooner had the

words 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 moment

longer, 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 with

feigned innocence.

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

snapped 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!" Lily

accused 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 whole

place 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 of

everyone!” Danny challenged her boldly.

"Country bumpkin, don’t get too full of yourself! Just wait till I find a secluded spot; then I’ll show

you,” Lily answered him, half serious, half teasing.

"Whoa! Lily, you wanna take me somewhere private? What exactly are you planning to do? I'm a

decent man, but with someone as pretty as you getting bold, I might just have to say yes,” Danny

flirted 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? Is

Jessica the only one who gets to have all the serious matters?” Lily defended herself, feeling slightly

irritated.

"If you want to deal with serious stuff, you should find a serious person. With a guy like me, the

most 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 the

little 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'm

telling Jessica!”

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

waters.

"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 you

can’t bear to do it. If you tell her, we’d never see each apart again. And that would break your

heart,” Danny said with mock sincerity.

"Get out of here! As if I care about you that much?” Lily retorted, but deep down, she knew she

didn’t mean it.

For some reason, she enjoyed being with Danny. She found his company strangely entertaining and

couldn’t quite pinpoint why. All she knew was, time spent with this country bumpkin felt just right.
