"Little Pumpkin, come over here."
Qin Meiru smiled and waved at Bao Nan who was standing at the staircase.
Really like the foolish son of a wealthy family.
Standing so far away, how can they improve their relationship?
Upon hearing this, Bao Nan’s cold eyes flashed slightly, and he slowly walked towards the center of the hall.
But his expression darkened instantly when he saw the teddy dog in Jiang Tong’s arms.
"Buddy, come here." He spoke with a slight hint of displeasure in his tone.
Why should his treatment be worse than a dog’s...
The teddy dog barked a few times at him, comfortably snuggling in Jiang Tong’s arms.
Jiang Tong giggled softly as it tickled her, gently rubbing its head.
Bao Nan was so annoyed by this damn dog that his face turned as dark as a pot sticker.
Watching the interaction between the two people and one dog, Qin Meiru couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
Suddenly, all eyes in the room turned to her.
Qin Meiru awkwardly touched her nose and quickly changed the topic, "Little Pumpkin, this is Jiang Tong, why don’t you come over and say hi?"
"We already know each other." Bao Nan replied in a composed voice, glancing sideways at Jiang Tong.
Jiang Tong nodded, "Yeah, we’re already acquainted."
Upon hearing their words, Qin Meiru pretended to have a revelation, though her expression was exaggerated, "Oh, so you two already know each other."
Bao Nan: "..."
Jiang Tong: "..."
Um... well... Your pretending is a bit too half-hearted, isn’t it?
Trying to make the atmosphere less awkward.
Bao Nan’s eye twitched speechlessly, Jiang Tong smiled awkwardly.
Realizing she had overplayed her pretending, Qin Meiru coughed awkwardly a few times, "Sorry, what I meant was, Xiao Tong just saved Buddy. Although you two already know each other, Little Pumpkin, shouldn’t you thank her?"
After saying this, Qin Meiru internally scored herself a hundred points for her cleverness.
She’s been reading a great deal of romance novels recently.
The start of feelings often deepens through some trivial matter.
Now, let’s see if her Little Pumpkin can handle the situation...
Hearing this, Jiang Tong instinctively wanted to refuse, but was promptly interrupted by Bao Nan.
"Indeed, I should properly thank you." As he spoke, he gracefully stepped onto the sofa and extracted the teddy dog from Jiang Tong’s arms.
Bao Nan held the struggling teddy dog in his right hand, smiling, "Thank you for saving Buddy."
His sudden thanks stunned Jiang Tong; she was just holding a dog, so why was it treated so seriously?
"You overestimate, I just..."
"How about I treat you to dinner in a few days?"
"I..."
"You can set the time, I’m available."
"I..."
"It’s decided then."
Bao Nan firmly made the decision, giving Jiang Tong no room to refuse.
Jiang Tong held her forehead, momentarily at a loss for words.
Qin Meiru quickly tried to ease the situation, "Oh, Xiao Tong, you don’t need to be polite with him, he’s not short on money."
This isn’t about the money, okay...
After the incident in the car last night, she still felt a bit awkward today...
After all, it was her first time having such close contact with a man.
Thinking about it, Jiang Tong’s ears and cheeks began to blush slightly.
"Then... let’s stay in touch."
She hesitantly replied after pondering for a while.
She was actually thinking that rather than Bao Nan inviting her to dinner, why not let her invite him and simultaneously repay the favor she owed him.
