"I’ve slaved over providing you with a French bath package, and not only are you ungrateful, you even dare to question me!"
"Mr. Qin, although your reputation precedes you, it seems that you still lack a thorough understanding of certain issues of right and wrong. How about I school you on this now?"
Qin Yu heard the implications behind Zhang Jingdong’s words and knew he was the type to push his luck further, so she gave him a sideways glance and admitted defeat: "Fine... I can’t outtalk you, happy now?"
But then she added: "You didn’t need to seek me out for Su Man’s case to begin with, I think you were quite capable of winning it on your own!"
At this, Zhang Jingdong smiled meaningfully: "You know, to a certain extent, that is actually true.
The first time I visited your law firm was more to inquire, but it was the moment I saw you that I decided to go through so much trouble just to have as many encounters with you as possible!"
"And now it seems that my decision was not only right, but absolutely worth it—no, I’ve completely hit the jackpot!"
Zhang Jingdong said, as he casually draped an arm over Qin Yu’s shoulders: "What about you? What do you have to say about this?"
Qin Yu tucked a lock of hair behind her ear: "On the contrary... after we first met, I actually had a pretty poor impression of you."
"I thought you were fanciful in your thoughts, completely unpredictable, and although you looked okay, your gaze was way too direct, and... you liked to take advantage of people right there and then!"
At that moment, Zhang Jingdong lightly lifted Qin Yu’s chin: "No wonder you were still so cold to me when we ran into each other again downstairs that day. Do you like it now when I take advantage of you?"
Qin Yu knew he was deliberately asking this, her face flushing an instant red: "It’s too late to dislike it now, you’ve taken advantage of me so much these past few days, and just now... you’ve already taken the biggest advantage!"
Zhang Jingdong feigned innocence: "I haven’t taken the biggest advantage of you yet, and there are still many projects I haven’t even started!"
Qin Yu instinctively recalled something, then glanced at him with a mix of shyness and anticipation: "Hmph... I knew you had more dirty tricks up your sleeve!"
Zhang Jingdong replied calmly: "You can’t say it like that, later on, you might be begging me to be bad, anyway, just now I was only giving it a little try, and you’re already halfway to surrendering!"
"You..." Qin Yu glared at him bashfully: "You’re awful... I’m not talking to you anymore!"
Saying this, she tried to break free from Zhang Jingdong’s grasp.
Zhang Jingdong laughed nonchalantly, and as he held her waist, he thought to himself: "I want to draw a lottery!"
"Host has accumulated 90 points of goodwill from the target, meeting the conditions for a lottery draw. Would you like to proceed with the lottery draw?"
"Lottery draw initiating..."
"Prize One: Returning to the Origin Pill (Consuming this pill, the host’s daily teaching limits are lifted.)"
"Prize Two: Eighteen Techniques to Conquer Women (Self-explanatory, with these techniques, the host can make any woman surrender in that aspect.)"
"Prize Three: Lotus Fragrance Pill (Consuming this pill, the host will emit a strange fragrance for the next year, greatly increasing appeal to the opposite sex.)"
"I choose Prize Two!"
"Prize exchanged successfully. Host still has two lottery draws left. Would you like to continue?"
Before Qin Yu could react, Zhang Jingdong began his grand move.
Initially, Qin Yu struggled subconsciously, but quickly gave up.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Jingdong looked at Qin Yu with sparkling eyes: "Mommy Yu, could you please rate my service?"
Qin Yu took a moment to catch her breath, then sincerely exclaimed: "...100 points."
"And here I only used a three-star technique on you, why are you giving me full points? If I go on and use a five-star technique, you might just ascend to the heavens!"
Qin Yu’s face revealed surprise and anticipation: "That wasn’t even your best move... my dear, you’re just so good!"
Zhang Jingdong curled his lip: "So, do you still have objections to what I said earlier?"
"Then next time you want this kind of experience, you better beg me nicely, got it?"
After some more sweet moments together, Qin Yu left the hospital ward reluctantly.
First, she went home to change her clothes, including her underwear, before she went to the law office.
Zhang Jingdong took a half-hour nap, and upon waking up, he had some water and casually turned on the TV.
It was broadcasting a rerun of "Super Girl," specifically the Jiangdu regional competition’s top 5 to top 3 divisional final.
After watching two contestants perform, Zhang Jingdong felt somewhat relieved.
Firstly, both in terms of looks and singing ability, they were quite inferior to Xiao Fei.
Secondly, Zhang Jingdong didn’t remember them at all, so they probably didn’t become famous in her previous life.
Moreover, Xiao Fei alone could beat them just with her current popularity.
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Xiao Fei finally appeared on stage, and Zhang Jingdong instantly perked up.
She was dressed in a Little Dragon Girl style ancient white costume, her long hair flowing, and holding a lotus-painted paper umbrella, looking every bit the ancient beauty.
Zhang Jingdong was first slightly surprised, but when the subtitle "A Stretch of Mountain Path" appeared at the bottom of the screen, he suddenly understood and secretly felt that this performance might again become a classic for her.
Xiao Fei elegantly moved to the center of the stage, and as the intro ended, she began singing:
"Whose dreams linger on the bluestone path,
A rain in autumn, petals fall in its aftermath."
