Chapter 1577 - 591: Took Her to the Rooftop Again...
"I don’t care, at least two meals at Tianfu First-class, or I’ll tell Old Liu at your place what you just said."
But Lu Yalin didn’t panic at all: "Go ahead and tell him. If you dare snitch to our Old Liu, then I’ll go snitch on you to Mr. Yan."
"Snitch on me to Mr. Yan?" Lin Ruotang instinctively felt a bit flustered, but still said, "How come I totally don’t understand what you’re saying? What could you possibly snitch about me to her?"
Lu Yalin stared straight at Lin Ruotang, completely ignoring the question: "Lin, how many years have we known each other?"
"Ten years or so, why?"
"We’ve known each other for over ten years. You think I can’t tell there’s something unusual between you and this Boss Zhang?"
Lin Ruotang’s heart instantly tightened: "You... what are you talking about? He’s... we’re just regular friends."
She had originally wanted to say "he’s Jieyu’s boyfriend," but somehow, in the end, she didn’t say it.
"Regular friends?" Lu Yalin shook her head with a smile: "Girl, that line might fool other people, but you think you can fool me?"
"If there’s really nothing going on between you two, then you just say whatever you want!"
"You..." Lin Ruotang was momentarily speechless: "Forget it... no matter how I explain it now, you’re not going to believe me."
Hearing this, Lu Yalin became even more convinced of her guess, and said, "Girl, don’t worry, I’ll absolutely keep this a secret for you!"
"And to be honest, there’s definitely not a shred of mockery in my heart. On the contrary, I’m actually really jealous of you two!"
"He’s so young, he’s definitely really good in that department, right? Sigh, compared to him, our Old Liu is basically a useless piece of junk now. Last year he could still give a lecture once a week, but this year... he can’t even give one a month on time. My second half of life is basically ruined!"
At this point, Lin Ruotang really couldn’t listen anymore: "Sister Lin, if you keep talking about this, I’m leaving first!"
Lu Yalin quickly waved her hand: "Don’t rush off, okay okay... my bad, I’ll stop, alright?"
While the two were still chatting away, Zhang Jingdong drove Lin Qingci over to Maple Forest Building.
Lin Qingci unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "Alright, go do your thing, I’ll head up."
Zhang Jingdong grabbed her hand: "What’s the rush? I’ll walk you up."
Lin Qingci hesitated: "...No need. You’re going back home tomorrow, you definitely have a lot of things to deal with tonight..."
Seeing that Zhang Jingdong didn’t quite get what she meant, she continued, "...So you need to save your energy. Besides, on the plane today I... I was already very satisfied."
After saying that last sentence, she first shyly lowered her head, then slowly looked up again.
Zhang Jingdong burst out laughing: "If you hadn’t said that, I might’ve just kissed you for a bit and let you go. But now... you actually dare to question your man’s capabilities, so I have to make sure you completely understand just how strong your man really is!"
With that, he nimbly got out of the car.
Seeing this, Lin Qingci paused for a moment, then had no choice but to get out as well.
The two of them entered Maple Forest Building, but instead of going back to the company, they went straight to the rooftop.
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the teaching in a special environment. Reward: 2 million yuan!"
More than half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong said to Lin Qingci, "Now you can say that line out loud, right?"
Because she was so happy, Lin Qingci blurted out, "I want to XXXX..."
Zhang Jingdong felt delighted inside, and immediately rewarded her with a bottle of Life One.
The two tidied up a bit, cuddled for a while, then went down from the rooftop together.
After a goodbye kiss in the elevator lobby on the sixth floor, Lin Qingci went to the restroom, and when she came out she had once again transformed into the bright yet aloof branch office boss, walking gracefully into the company.
As for Zhang Jingdong, he left the building, got in the car, and called Yan Ning.
The call was picked up after just three rings: "Boss Zhang, you’re back in Jiangdu?"
"Turns out you, the elder, are still the one who cares most about my schedule! I’m honestly moved!"
"Tch... Your flight landed a little after five, and you’re only calling me now. I offered my heart to the bright moon, yet the bright moon shines on the ditch!"
Zhang Jingdong instinctively felt his heart clench, but quickly reacted and said casually, "Here’s the thing, as soon as I got off the plane my mom called me."
"We’ve been on summer break for over a month now, and she asked why I still hadn’t gone back. She even said if I don’t go back soon, then I shouldn’t bother going back ever again. So I had no choice but to suddenly decide to go back to my hometown tomorrow."
"So I had to pack up and take care of a bunch of stuff, and only just now finished. The moment I was done, I immediately called you. Sister Ning, you really wronged me this time!"
"You’re going back home tomorrow... Fine. How long will you be gone?"
"Probably at least a week."
"...Where are you now?"
"Downstairs at the company."
"Come to Yu’s place first. I’ll get in touch with Teacher Shu and the others now. Since you’re about to leave again right after coming back, we might as well all get together tonight."
Zhang Jingdong’s heart stirred, but he deliberately put on a slightly sorrowful tone: "Sigh... it’s not like I want to, but a mother’s orders are hard to defy. You guys don’t want me to be an unfilial son, right? Alright, you arrange it, I’m on my way now."
"You’ve just come back, long trip and all. Aren’t you tired? Should we call Feifei and Shishi?"
"Relax, when has your man ever been tired? We can call Feifei, but as for Shishi... better not. I don’t think she’s ready to handle our kind of gathering yet."
"Tch... Fine. I really want to see whether you’ve been messing around while you were away this time!"
"No problem. Before I leave, I’m definitely going to give you another chance to truly witness your man’s real power!"
