The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 338 Lose Money

The receptionist couldn't help but smile at the amusing exchange. It was clear this wasn't the first room these two had booked together – the woman's insistence on a standard room instead of the most expensive suite was a giveaway, likely a couple who’d been married and understood that money shouldn't be squandered.

"So, which one of you spouses is going to pay?" the receptionist asked with a knowing look.

"Me!" Brittany asserted, quickly taking charge. Then, thinking it over and realizing it gave the wrong impression, she decided not to clarify that she and Daniel were not together. If she did, how would it look? Like an affair? And if she said Daniel was there to give her acupuncture... well, that sounded even more far-fetched.

With a reluctant sigh, Brittany let the misconception persist.

"The standard room will be 1598 yuan, plus a 1000-yuan deposit, so a total of 2598 yuan. Will you be paying by card or cash?"

Brittany didn't intend to part with her money but instead gave Daniel a fierce look and commanded, "Pay!"

"Why should I pay? Didn't you say you'd take care of it?"

"You pay up front!"

"I don't have it."

"How can you not have money? Don't think I don't know you've saved up quite a bit. Get it out now!"

Knowing she wouldn't voluntarily pay up, Brittany resorted to a desperate move.

"You insisted on dragging me to this hotel, swore that you would pay for the room, and now you're asking for my money? You really want to bleed me dry, don't you?"

"You…" Brittany blushed with embarrassment and anger. It sounded as if Daniel was insinuating she was something akin to a lover!

To save herself from further embarrassment and despite being internally furious, Brittany begrudgingly took out her bank card and paid for the room.

Once in the room, Daniel sized it up and commented, "It's decent enough, I suppose. After all, it's our first time getting a room together; we should make some good memories."
