Chapter 1137: Chapter 1135: Encounter with Spice Ginger
Noon, twelve o’clock.
After Hao Jian took another shower and changed into fresh clothes, his phone suddenly rang.
“Hello?”
He wiped the water droplets off his hands before picking up the phone.
“Hao Jian, it’s noon. Let
treat you to lunch!”
As soon as the call connected, Lin Qingxue’s gentle voice slowly ca through, making Hao Jian smile. He didn’t refuse and replied with a smile, “When is it your turn to treat ? I think I should treat you instead!”
“No, no, no, I want to treat you!”
Hearing that Hao Jian wanted to pay, Lin Qingxue panicked a bit and quickly explained, “Yesterday’s al at the farmhouse doesn’t count because the owner didn’t charge us. It was like the owner treated us, not !”
“But if I hadn’t gone out to help, that al would count as your treat…”
The smile on Hao Jian’s face grew wider, but he continued speaking, making Lin Qingxue sound even more anxious.
“Oh co on! It wasn’t… it wasn’t…”
Lin Qingxue was thoroughly flustered by Hao Jian’s words. She had made a significant decision to invite him this ti, fearing that he wouldn’t co out.
After all, she didn’t have a reasonable excuse to get Hao Jian to co out for a al, so she thought long and hard for over an hour before rembering that yesterday’s lunch was technically treated by the farmhouse owner, Gao Tian.
Although she felt a bit embarrassed, Lin Qingxue thickened her skin to use this as an excuse to invite Hao Jian out.
“Oh? Is that so?”
The smile on Hao Jian’s face deepened, and finally, amidst Lin Qingxue’s gradually breaking down tone, he let out a light chuckle and said, “You set the ti and place, and I’ll head out in a bit.”
“Twelve thirty, I’ll tell you the location once you get to the school!”
Lin Qingxue was still figuring out how to get Hao Jian to agree, not expecting his tone to shift so quickly. After a brief mont of surprise, she quickly snapped back to reality, said this quickly, and then imdiately hung up the phone.
“Oh dear, I haven’t applied lipstick yet!”
After hanging up, Lin Qingxue stood in place, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily. Then, as if rembering sothing important, she quickly ran to her vanity. She chose her favorite color from the selection of Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Dior lipsticks.
“Oh my, oh my, how many tis has our Little Xiaoxue proactively asked soone out?”
While Lin Qingxue was applying lipstick, Molan’s teasing voice sounded, causing Lin Qingxue’s cheeks to redden. She snorted through her nose and continued applying lipstick, ignoring Molan.
She knew that once she responded, Molan would pry all her info out. After all, it had happened a few tis before!
Each ti, she inadvertently revealed so very important secrets about herself. After a few experiences, she wisely chose to stay silent.
“Hehe, you’re not talking to ?! Your beautiful big sister, and you choose not to talk to !”
Molan, seeing that Lin Qingxue wasn’t responding, didn’t mind and gave a sultry smile, her voice filled with a charm that even won found hard to resist.
“Hmph! Not talking to you!”
At this point, Lin Qingxue finished applying her lipstick. With lightly pink lips slightly parted, she snorted at Molan, grabbed her Chanel bag, opened the dormitory door, and ignored Molan.
“Lanlan, it seems your tactic needs changing, Little Xiaoxue is starting to ignore you!”
Ye Ni pushed up her glasses and smiled at Molan.
“Mind your own business! Aren’t you going to the cosplay event? Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
Molan playfully waved her pink fist at Ye Ni, speaking harshly. As for Ailin, she remained engrossed in her video ga world, not hearing a word of what Molan said.
“It’s at two in the afternoon, no rush.”
………………
“Hao Jian!”
When Lin Qingxue exited the school gate, she saw a group of people gathered together. Without needing to see, she knew it was Hao Jian, so she called out to him.
“Vroom!”
Hearing soone call him, Hao Jian imdiately started the Enzo Car, causing the onlookers to step back a bit as he drove towards Lin Qingxue and stopped steadily in front of her.
“Get in the car!”
Even though Hao Jian always gets surrounded by students every ti he cos to the school, he has long since gotten used to it. This happened frequently back when he was at the Chinese dicine Hospital as well.
“Where should we go to eat?”
After Lin Qingxue got in the car, Hao Jian asked out loud. He had already tried many places in Hua City, so as long as Lin Qingxue made a suggestion, he would know if the place was good.
“Hmm…”
Lin Qingxue tilted her head in thought and then said, “I saw a restaurant with high ratings online, but it’s a bit expensive…”
Hearing this, Hao Jian chuckled lightly and said, “As long as the food is good, any price is fine.”
“Cannon French Restaurant!”
“Alright!”
Hao Jian nodded with a smile. He had heard of this French restaurant and had eaten there with Yuan Shanshan before. The food was good, and this was his second visit, so he was naturally familiar with it.
Imdiately, Hao Jian started up the car and headed towards the French restaurant Lin Qingxue ntioned.
“Rumble, rumble…”
However, Hao Jian and Lin Qingxue were unaware that after their car drove off, a white Porsche suddenly pulled out from a corner and trailed far behind Hao Jian’s car.
If you look closer, you can see that the driver of the white Porsche is a young man, seeming to be in his early twenties, with slicked-back hair and a grood appearance. His small eyes glared at the Enzo car ahead with intense anger and envy.
He was originally a suitor for Lin Qingxue. When he first arrived in Sanshui City a year or two ago, he saw Lin Qingxue and was fascinated by her.
He even abandoned his studies to pursue Lin Qingxue in Sanshui City whenever he had ti, but for the past year or two, all his efforts had not received any response.
Not long ago, he heard that Lin Qingxue had co to Hua City for university. He couldn’t be happier and, upon receiving the news, imdiately drove to Lin Qingxue’s university gate. However, before he could get out of the car and ask about her whereabouts, he saw Lin Qingxue suddenly appear.
Just as he was about to drive up and greet Lin Qingxue, he saw a smile on her face that she had never shown him before. His jealousy exploded at that mont.
Especially when he saw that the driver of the car was soone around his age, his jealousy grew stronger. In the whole of Hua City, no one dared to disrespect him, yet this man had the nerve to compete with him for a woman?! Is he tired of living?!
However, he knew his own capabilities and might not be a match for this man, especially since Lin Qingxue was present. He could not lose his composure in front of her, so he followed Hao Jian’s Enzo car while calling his bodyguards to co over quickly.
Possibly because there were too many cars on the road, Hao Jian did not notice the Porsche sports car trailing behind them. Even if he did notice, he might assu they were headed the sa way; these things do happen.
“Hao Jian, I hear the foie gras at that restaurant is quite good, as well as the red wine, oh, and the goose intestines too!”
“…”
On the road, Lin Qingxue took any chance she could to talk to Hao Jian about the delicious dishes at that restaurant, which made Hao Jian internally smile bitterly. He was already quite hungry, and Lin Qingxue’s words made his stomach rumble. Fortunately, the car was moving fast, and Lin Qingxue didn’t hear it over the wind.
But soon enough, Hao Jian arrived at the restaurant. This French restaurant had quite a bit of a French atmosphere, and the price was sowhat middle-class.
Covering over 300 square ters, at this ti, the restaurant had many dining custors, but most were couples, and table groups larger than three were rare.
Noticing this, the restaurant mostly had two-person tables, a few four-person tables, and only one six-person table.
Usually, the restaurant wouldn’t fill the four-person tables, but today the six-person table had an exception with custors. When Hao Jian brought Lin Qingxue into the restaurant, he instinctively noticed the six-person table.
At a glance, Hao Jian suddenly froze because he recognized all five people sitting at that six-person table…
“Hao…”
The people at that table were none other than Brother Spice Ginger and his group, taking ti out to have a good al. Just as Brother Spice Ginger was eating his steak and looked up, he saw Hao Jian at the entrance. His expression imdiately changed, and he was about to get up.
However, just as he was about to stand, Hao Jian’s hand subtly gestured to keep him down. Instantly, Brother Spice Ginger steadied himself, continuing to eat his al.
He understood that Hao Jian was telling him to mind his own business and not to acknowledge him. After all, he had also seen the beauty next to Hao Jian.
“Could Young Master Hao have another woman?”
Brother Spice Ginger buried his head in his al, whispering to his four subordinates not to greet Hao Jian and just to act as though he wasn’t there.
“Brother Spice Ginger, do you think Young Master Hao might have…”
One subordinate subtly pointed towards Lin Qingxue next to Hao Jian, looking at Brother Spice Ginger with confusion.
Upon hearing this, Brother Spice Ginger slapped the back of the subordinate’s head firmly, snorted, and said, “Young Master Hao’s matters are none of your concern; just focus on your al. You’ve been nagging
to bring you here, haven’t you?! Now eat properly!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The subordinate realized he shouldn’t have asked. With a smile, he hurriedly ate his al as if worried sobody might take his steak.
