Upon hearing his answer, Jin Xiangdong glanced at Jason. Just as he was about to say something, his mobile phone rang and he had to get up to answer the phone.
Lu Jia’er knew better than anyone else Jason’s intention. He deliberately used the words in order to stimulate Jin Xiangdong and see how he would react.
In fact, Lu Jiaer was also quite curious about what Jin Xiangdong’s reaction would be, but it was a pity that he was interrupted by his phone.
Lu Jia’er eyed Jason and asked him casually, “Does Ace often come to eat in the canteen?”
Jason felt surprised to hear Lu Jia’er call Jin Xiangdong—Ace. He did not answer Lu Jia’er’s current question, but instead said, “Ace? Xiangdong lets you call him like that?”
Lu Jia’er saw Jason’s pupils suddenly expand, which indicated surprise or shock. Was this actually so unusual?
“Yes! He says that he likes being called Ace privately. Is that a problem?” Lu Jia’er nodded.
“No problem, no problem!” Jason shook his head and smiled.
However, Lu Jia’er heard a different answer from Jason’s inner voice: Ace finally has a worldly desire?
This piece of information was definitely good news for Lu Jia’er, so she went on, “If there is something wrong, please be merciful enough to give me your opinion!”
“No, there is no need to give my opinion!” Jason said.
Lu Jia’er fixed her gaze upon Jason’s face. His smile was meaningful. It seemed that he had discovered a secret.
Seeing this, Lu Jia’er said, “Is Ace also single now?”
Instantly Jason had heard the words, he quickly said, “He has been single ever since I met him!”
Lu Jia’er hugged herself with delight. She said with a smile, “Most elite men like you should have a lot of women pursuing you!”
“You might be wrong!” Jason said with a sigh.
“You are being chased by two girls now, aren’t you?” Lu Jia’er smiled.
“There have been girls chasing me, but they are almost all weak-willed quitters!” Jason sighed.
Lu Jia’er was amused. “Although I don’t actually know the girls that chase you, to be fair to them—it’s not because they like to quit halfway, but because you don’t give them a chance!”
“I do give them a chance, yet every time I just want to apply myself, they have already turned around. Luck seldom favors us!” Jason once again sighed.
“Based on what you have said, I believe that those girls are awesome!” Lu Jia’er smiled.
“Professor Lu, please don’t strike me when I’m down!” Jason stared at Lu Jia’er.
“Don’t neglect every affection in the future.” Lu Jia’er smiled.
“I have heard this phrase a few times. Don’t neglect every affection and don’t pander to every indifference either, blah blah blah. Don’t look back on the past and don’t make do with the future either, blah blah blah. Why do girls like these chicken soup for the soul so much!” Jason took advantage of the situation.
“Because chicken soup can heal their broken hearts!” Lu Jia’er smiled.
“Professor Lu, do you also like chicken soup for the soul?” Jason asked.
“If I meet a man I like, I will try my best to chase after him!” Lu Jia’er shook her head.
“Professor Lu, I like your character! If you think that I am not bad, you don’t have to pursue, I will take the initiative!” Jason gazed at Lu Jia’er.
“Jason, you are really humorous!” Lu Jia’er almost spit out some of the rice in her mouth when she had heard his plan.
“I am serious. Do you know how the married men in our department broke the chains of being single? Every time a female engineer came, they would maximize the benefits of being in a favorable position! This time I must seize the opportunity!” Jason said.
Lu Jia’er knew that Jason was joking and couldn’t help but laugh even louder. Jin Xiangdong, who was still on the phone, glanced sideways at them. He had just caught sight of this peculiar scene. His face showed an intrigued expression.
After Jin Xiangdong had finished his phone conversation he hung up and returned to his seat with them, Lu Jia’er and Jason had already finished their lunch.
“Enjoy your meal. I’m going to have a cup of coffee with Professor Lu!” Jason looked at Jin Xingdong and said deliberately.
“You go buy the coffee then. Professor Lu will stay!” stated Jin Xiangdong.
