…
In a black Rolls-Royce parked not far from the gates of the building that housed the DL headquarters, Jiang Beihan sat emotionlessly in the back seat, staring at the male and female couple standing a few meters in front of the car.
“Did you not see the text message that I had sent you?’ he asked, frowning in annoyance. He had sent her a text message, asking her to wait for him.
“Did you send me a text message?” Song Wenxin asked, looking confused.
So, she had not read his text message!
“Where are you planning to go?” he continued asking her, suppressing his anger.
From the looks of it, was she planning to leave together with that male classmate?
“It’s lunchtime, so, of course, I’m going to get something to eat!” Song Wenxin replied spontaneously without giving it another thought.
“Get something to eat? Who with?” He frowned, looking out of the window at Song Wenxin, who was standing not too far away.
“With my classmate of course,” Song Wenxin responded matter-of-factly.
So… she had intended to eat lunch with that male classmate.
“I’m giving you two choices. One, go eat lunch with your classmate. Two, wait for me at the gate and have lunch with me!” Jiang Beihan leaned back in his seat and suggested suddenly, a challenging look in his eyes.
“Huh?” Song Wenxin was stupefied, momentarily not getting what he was alluding to.
Was he saying that he wanted to have lunch with her?
Wasn’t he with Shangguan? Why would he want her to tag along?
“In two days’ time, DL will be launching the new line of male apparel. I can consider taking you there for the exposure and experience,” he added suddenly, taking advantage of her temporary tongue-tied state.
Yes, he was hanging a carrot in front of her, tempting her!
Such was the fun of fishing–that feeling of anticipation, waiting for the fish to take the bait that had just been thrown in.
And that was exactly what he was experiencing right now.
The new product launch was the bait, while Song Wenxin was the fish, and he was the one manipulating the fishing rod!
“Do you really mean what you just said? Will you be willing to take me to the product launch?” As expected, Song Wenxin’s surprise and excitement could be felt through the phone!
“Well, that would depend on the choice that you will make!” His lips curled slightly into a smile as he watched the obviously thrilled Song Wenxin from a distance.
“I choose the second option!” Song Wenxin said excitedly into the phone, secretly concluding that Jiang Beihan was indeed a nice guy, willing to take her to the DL product launch!
Meanwhile, Song Wenxin’s classmate, who had been waiting on the side, just looked at her in puzzlement.
“Erm, I’m so sorry, my classmate. I cannot buy you lunch today because I need to attend to something that has just turned up. I will treat you to lunch at another time, okay?” Song Wenxin said, looking at him apologetically.
Although he was disappointed with what Song Wenxin had just told him, he did not want to come across as too pushy either.
“If you are busy, then let’s do this another day. It’s okay with me! However, Wenxin, can you please give me your phone number?” the boy replied, scratching his head awkwardly.
At the mention of her phone number, Song Wenxin paused. Since she lost her phone a couple of days ago, she had been using the one that Jiang Beihan had given her, and she had no clue what the number was.
“Let’s do this. How about you leave me your number and I will text you later,” Song Wenxin suggested.
At that, the boy nodded vigorously and agreed, giving Song Wenxin his number.
After the male classmate had walked away, Song Wenxin looked around her, waiting for Jiang Beihan.
At that time, a black sports car rolled up and came slowly to a stop in front of her.
The car window wound down slowly, revealing a strikingly handsome face.
“Get in,” Jiang Beihan instructed after giving her a quick glance.
