Rong Jingshu held two cups of coffee in his hands. Suddenly, a woman bumped into him. The coffee in his left hand spilled onto the ground as he dodged.
Ai Taien, her small hand instinctively grabbed the man's belt.
Rong Jingshu: "—"
Fortunately, his belt was sturdy, otherwise, this woman would have surely pulled it off.
He helped her up, "Are you alright?"
Ai Taien hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."
Rong Jingshu looked at the woman's young face and his heart skipped a beat—wasn't she the girl from last night?
Cough, cough, City E is really small.
"It's fine," he said magnanimously.
Then he turned and walked towards the counter, "Two more lattes, please."
Seeing that the man wasn't making things difficult for her, Ai Taien quickly followed him, "My treat."
Rong Jingshu turned to look at her.
Ai Taien met his gaze, "I spilled your coffee just now, so I should pay for it."
Rong Jingshu curved his lips slightly. This girl is quite kind.
"What do you want to drink?" he asked.
Ai Taien looked at the cashier, "A cappuccino, with sugar, thank you."
Cashier: "Okay, would you like to pay with Alipay or WeChat?"
Ai Taien looked bewildered: What Alipay, WeChat? She always paid with her bank card.
She took out her global UnionPay card from her wallet and asked, "Can I use a bank card?"
Before the cashier could answer, a "ding" sound came from the air, and then Rong Jingshu said, "Done."
Ai Taien looked up at the man beside her, who was over 1.8 meters tall and sturdy, with surprise.
He—
Just "dinged" and paid?
How did he pay? She didn't see him use a bank card or cash, and hadn't he said she was treating him?
"Um..." Ai Taien was about to speak when Rong Jingshu interrupted, "When buying things in China, you rarely use cash. It's either Alipay, WeChat, or UnionPay."
He paused, his eyes smiling, "Welcome to China, have a good time."
As they were talking, the server packaged Rong Jingshu's coffee, "Sir, your coffee is ready."
Rong Jingshu said "Thank you" and as he turned to leave, he left a sentence, "I hope last night wasn't a bad experience for you."
Ai Taien: "..."
Last night?
What?
He knew—
Ah!
Ai Taien cried out softly. He, he, he—he was the man who had stolen her first kiss last night!
Ai Taien turned to stone, watching the man leave.
But if she didn't watch, what else could she do?
Ask for his number? Be friends? Or have her bodyguard beat him up?
No matter what, Ai Taien couldn't do any of it. She—
She couldn't possibly ask him to take responsibility for an accidental kiss, right? Besides, she didn't know his character or how he was, whether he was worth entrusting herself to…
Oh dear, why was her mind wandering so much?
Ai Taien stopped her straying thoughts in time.
She found a seat, but her gaze involuntarily followed the direction "he" had left.
╮(╯_╰)╭
She forgot to ask his name just now?
But seeing that he was over 1.8 meters tall and sturdy, and also handsome, with a square face and a hooked nose, he fit her aesthetic perfectly. He must be a masculine guy?
Mmm~~~
How embarrassing!
How could she think about these things!
Rong Jingshu held the coffee he bought for his colleagues. As he crossed the intersection, he received a call from his mother.
She asked him to go to a clothing store to buy three white clothes endorsed by Du Ruoxin, as they were going to the Rong family's ancestral home tomorrow to wrap zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Rong Jingshu repeatedly replied, "Yes."
—
Rong Jingyang returned to the company. Du Ruoxin was not yet awake, but he searched everywhere and couldn't find the design drafts Ai Wei had left in the office.
He asked the secretary, who said Madam had torn them up, and the garbage had already been cleared by the cleaning aunt.
He: "!!!"
A dark line slid across his eyes, and the corner of his eye twitched, his brows showing a hint of helplessness.
【Du Ruoxin…】
If he discussed this topic with her, she would argue with him again.
Shaking his head, Rong Jingyang took out his phone and called Ai Wei, "Send me an electronic copy of the design drafts. I'm not returning to the company."
Ai Wei replied, "Okay."
"By the way, I heard you came to the school. Why didn't I see you?"
She had originally thought she could run into Rong Jingyang at school, but after staying for a few hours, she hadn't seen him.
It was as if he was deliberately avoiding her.
Rong Jingyang said faintly, "I left after finishing my business."
Ai Wei sounded a little disappointed, "Oh, then can I ask you out for the night after tomorrow?"
Rong Jingyang: "Is something wrong?"
Ai Wei: "Of course."
Rong Jingyang: "What is it?"
Ai Wei: "I'll tell you when you get here."
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Ai Wei: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm busy."
Rong Jingyang stared at the busy signal on his phone, his brow furrowed slightly.
Why couldn't she say what it was first?
Just as he was putting his phone away and turning, his gaze suddenly froze—because he saw Du Ruoxin standing at the door with a furious expression.
