Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

"Enough, I don’t want to waste any more words with you, get lost!"

Wang Jianan found the current outcome hard to accept, but she understood that if she didn’t comply, Zhang Jingdong might punish her and her husband even more severely, possibly even threatening their safety.

Thinking of this, she immediately turned and fled the scene.

Zhang Jingdong then waved to the people present: "Alright, everyone, disperse!"

The crowd, intimidated by Zhang Jingdong’s aura and background, quickly left as well.

Zhang Jingdong then turned his head, looking at Zhang Lihua.

In fact, his left hand was still wrapped around Zhang Lihua’s fragrant shoulder, yet he deliberately pretended not to notice.

As for Zhang Lihua, whether she was moved by Zhang Jingdong’s heroic act of saving her, or deeply shocked by his intimidating background, or simply thought he seemed even more attractive at the moment, she didn’t push his arm away.

Zhang Jingdong’s heart was stirred, and he promptly said, "Remember, from now on, no one in the world can bully you. If you encounter anything similar in the future, you must tell me immediately, or I’ll get angry with you!"

Although his words sounded somewhat ambiguous, looking at his serious demeanor, a huge warmth surged in Zhang Lihua’s heart.

After all, any woman hearing a man speak such words would be a little overwhelmed, especially when he has made it clear he’s pursuing her and has just completed a heroic rescue.

Moreover, over the years, Zhang Lihua, because of her business and her stunning looks, hadn’t suffered much physical bullying but had endured a lot of explicit and implicit verbal abuse.

So, in the quiet moments of the night, she had fantasized about having someone who could help her deal with these issues.

Now, whether in his willingness to help or his ability to solve problems, Zhang Jingdong was impeccable.

So Zhang Lihua found herself a bit embarrassed, even a bit thrilled as she nodded lightly: "...Mm."

Zhang Jingdong felt a rush of secret joy.

Because not only did Zhang Lihua not push away his arm draped over her shoulder, but now, faced with what was clearly a man’s request to his girlfriend, she agreed so gently.

Being well-experienced, he naturally understood what this meant.

He then gently tightened his left hand, giving Zhang Lihua a firm hug.

Although Zhang Lihua was a bit caught off guard, since Zhang Jingdong had already hugged her earlier, and considering their conversation and the event just now, she knew their relationship had subtly changed, so she barely struggled.

This time, they hugged for several minutes before Zhang Jingdong released Zhang Lihua, satisfied.

But he also knew it wasn’t good to push his luck further, so he said, "Let’s get in the car, go back to the restaurant, and thoroughly plan out the mall details."

Zhang Lihua suppressed her inner shyness and nodded: "...Mm."

Then they returned to the car.

With Zhang Lihua’s skillful maneuvering, the red BMW was soon back on the road.

As Zhang Jingdong switched to a mode of admiring the beauty, he quietly reached out to hold Zhang Lihua’s right hand.

At first, Zhang Lihua could barely keep her composure, but as Zhang Jingdong began to knead her delicate hand, she quickly said, "...Don’t move... I’m driving!"

Zhang Jingdong laughed, "Don’t worry, there are barely any cars on this road, and trust me, no matter how out of control the car gets, I can get it back to safety in a fraction of a second."

Zhang Lihua saw that he wasn’t joking, and having driven for nearly ten years herself, she realized driving with one hand wasn’t a problem, so she stopped resisting.

Zhang Jingdong felt a burst of joy as he played with her delicate hand for a bit, then casually said, "Looks like I’ve already got into someone’s heart, tsk tsk, so happy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lihua’s already slightly flushed face turned completely red.

She paused for about half a minute before saying, "I... I can consider being with you, but... we can’t get married."

"...Jingdong, promise me, okay? I don’t want others to gossip."

Zhang Jingdong kissed her delicate hand, "We don’t have to get married here, but I’ll definitely give you a proper status. Trust me, I’ll handle this matter properly."

Zhang Lihua was completely touched!

Although she said she didn’t want to marry, as a woman, how could she not want her lover to give her some reassurance?

And Zhang Jingdong’s words were a million times more perfect than she anticipated.

So she shyly, yet also with some uncontrollable excitement, nodded: "...Mm, I trust you!"

Saying so, she even reversed her grip on Zhang Jingdong’s hand.

Now Zhang Jingdong was also entirely delighted, and he too grasped her hand tightly.

About ten minutes later, the red BMW slowly parked in front of Lihua Restaurant’s parking lot.

Zhang Jingdong intentionally released Zhang Lihua’s hand and got out of the car briskly.

Watching his back, Zhang Lihua knew he did it for their own good, but for some reason, there was a sudden, inexplicable disappointment in her heart.

But after all, she was the owner here.

So she quickly composed herself and got out of the car.

Just as she was heading straight for the restaurant entrance, Zhang Jingdong suddenly came alongside her quickly, grabbing her delicate hand.

Zhang Lihua was caught off guard, hurriedly saying, "What are you doing? Let go! They can see us inside!"

Zhang Jingdong smirked, "Let them see, whatever! We’ve already basically confirmed our relationship, and you can’t back out now... I want your employees and all the dining guests here to know that you’re taken, and none of them can have any thoughts about you anymore!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lihua, despite her overwhelming shyness, felt a strange joy in her heart.

She tried to struggle a bit, "You... no, I’m shy!"

Zhang Jingdong, seeing through her mind, suddenly leaned in and kissed her cheek.

"Congratulations, Host, you successfully kissed the target, rewarded 100,000 yuan!"

"Now, not shy anymore, right?"

Zhang Lihua never expected Zhang Jingdong to be so bold, she immediately covered her face, "You... you scoundrel!"
