However, Shu Ran managed to calm down on the surface due to Zhang Jingdong’s exceptional composure.
So she obediently nodded her head.
Soon after, the sound of a door opening and footsteps walking away could be heard from outside, prompting Shu Ran to briskly exit following suit.
About half a minute later, Shu Ran sent a text message: No one’s coming over now, come on out quickly.
Zhang Jingdong: Okay, you go ahead.
After reading the message, Zhang Jingdong quickly opened the door, left the bathroom, and descended the stairs.
It must be said, just now was a rare little thrill, but it was really fun!
Later, Zhang Jingdong left East River Art College and called Yan Ning.
"Hello, Mr. Yan, where are you now?"
"I’m heading out. Let’s meet at the base of Huijiang Building in a bit, and then head over together."
Half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong arrived at Huijiang Building, and in less than five minutes, Yan Ning’s white Rolls-Royce slowly halted in front of him.
Zhang Jingdong rolled down the car window and waved at Yan Ning, signaling to set off.
But at that moment, Yan Ning suddenly got out of the car, followed by a sullen Qin Yu disembarking as well.
Zhang Jingdong’s heart instantly tightened.
Yan Ning said to him, "The road over there is a bit tricky; we’ll take your car instead."
Zhang Jingdong instinctively thought of Liang Feng, hesitated for a moment due to Qin Yu’s obvious irritation - so he just nodded: "Alright."
As he was about to disembark.
At this point, he certainly didn’t want to sit in the backseat with the two of them.
Unfortunately, the pair seemed to guess his intentions, and Qin Yu directly blocked his side of the car door: "Scooch over inside a bit..."
Seeing that Yan Ning had already gone to the other side of the car, Zhang Jingdong could only move to the middle with an impish smile.
Then Qin Yu got into the car, and Yan Ning sat on his other side.
To be honest, this was once one of his dreams, but now, he felt a rare sense of guilt.
Mainly because he hadn’t seen Qin Yu for nearly half a month.
Firstly, he had been busy with the clothing company affairs, and secondly, their training trip with Shu Ran and the others had taken up another week.
At that time, he had spent several consecutive days cloistered with Qin Yu, only to then disappear without a trace; understandably, she must not be pleased.
But it didn’t matter; he now firmly believed in a saying: The baser one is, the invincible one becomes.
After the two of them got into the car, the black Land Rover restarted and quickly vanished from the spot.
Because Long Yue was present, initially the two did not speak to Zhang Jingdong.
Yan Ning kept quiet out of shyness, while Qin Yu, angry, deliberately ignored him.
Later, Zhang Jingdong tried to hold Qin Yu’s hand twice, but, unsurprisingly, both attempts were slapped away.
Seeing this tactic fail, Zhang Jingdong had no choice but to resort to his killer move.
He tilted slightly and presented his palm in front of Qin Yu.
Qin Yu glanced at his hand subconsciously and then quickly turned her head away.
This time, Zhang Jingdong enacted a mysterious voice: "Watch closely, it’s time to witness a miracle!"
Though Qin Yu reminded herself innumerably "you’re angry, don’t pay attention to him," she eventually couldn’t resist and turned back to look.
And then she saw the previously clean and pale palm now slowly reveal the words "Sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
And at the end, an emoticon beseeching forgiveness appeared.
One idle day, with an increasing number of beautiful women around him, he thought he’d inevitably run into some small trouble eventually, so he prepared this magic trick in advance.
It’s not for nothing that a playboy—oh, no, a man with the means, must arm himself with various tactics for times of need.
Qin Yu had never seen this trick before, especially Zhang Jingdong’s emoticon at the end featuring a snot bubble, so she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
And then, not knowing if it was irritation at herself for not holding back or annoyance at Zhang Jingdong’s cunning, she punched him a few times with her small fists in vexation.
Zhang Jingdong took the opportunity to embrace her shoulders as it happened.
And just like that, the crisis was averted.
At this point, Yan Ning muttered somewhat disappointedly, "Before coming here you were all about teaching someone a good lesson, and look how quickly you were conquered again, sigh, and to think you’re known for your high IQ, Mr. Qin!"
Qin Yu pouted, "The thing is, this guy is just too crafty. Even you wouldn’t be able to resist!"
At that moment, Yan Ning glanced at Zhang Jingdong, "What trick did you pull on her?"
Zhang Jingdong exaggeratedly said, "This is the real deal; of course, I have to save it for sparing use. Plus, I might need to use it on you someday, so it’s best you don’t see it yet!"
Yan Ning immediately grew anxious: "No way, if you don’t let me see, I’ll get mad too. Show me now!"
Zhang Jingdong joked, "Mr. Yan, you’re being a bit unreasonable now, aren’t you?"
Yan Ning glared at him, "So, are you going to show me or not?"
Zhang Jingdong pursed his lips, "Fine then, who can say no to you two ladies who I can’t afford to offend..."
Saying this, he stretched his hand out to Yan Ning.
After taking a look, Yan Ning tried to contain her laughter but eventually couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
"You’re indefensibly... just too bad!"
Seeing her amused, Zhang Jingdong outright spread open his arms, embracing both their shoulders.
Considering Long Yue in front, they hurriedly tried to wriggle free from his grasp subconsciously.
Zhang Jingdong sighed, "Relax, you two, our friend Long Yue is already one of our own!"
Both of them immediately understood and simultaneously rolled their eyes at him.
Zhang Jingdong chuckled, then suddenly turned his head to kiss Yan Ning,
And quickly turned back towards Qin Yu.
Qin Yu instinctively tried to block him, but in her distraction, she made a mistake and ended up being kissed on the lips by Zhang Jingdong.
And after that, the trio erupted into a bundle of chaos.
