Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Song Zhou was here ro pick up Tang Beibei.

He stopped in his tracks when he heard Ruan Qi’s words and looked at her angry little face.

Ruan Qi didn’t expect Song Zhou to suddenly appear. She almost lost her footing, but fortunately, she managed to hold on to the podium.

As long as no one saw it, she would not feel embarrassed.

llaha.

T ang Beibei broke the silence by asking, “Song Zhou, why are you here?”

“You girls have been training hard, so I brought you a fruit plate first.¹¹ He pointed at the bag he was carrying.

He was worried that Ruan Qi was trying to lose weight and wouldn’t eat anything. Fruits probably wouldn’t make her fat, so he used this excuse to see her here.

Tang Beibei took the bag from Song Zhou. “We are going to the dance studio today. Qiqi, you…”

“I’ll go find Fu Jin and ask him to give me a ride.”

Ruan Qi went to pack her bag. When she walked by Song Zhou, she flung her bag hard and almost hit him. Song Zhou dodged.

She looked at him coolly. “No need to trouble you, Mr. Song!”

Seeing how angry she was, Song Zhou, who had little experience with girls, was speechless.

Ruan Qi walked slowly as she wanted to wait for the man’s explanation. Even if he didn’t explain himself, he would still say a few casual words to her, right?

But the man refused to speak.

She was so angry that she quickened her pace.

If she continued to have hopes about him, she was a cow, hmph!

Tang Beibei carried the fruit platter and slowly packed her things. Song Zhou immediately went forward to help her carry her bag.

She didn’t hesitate and handed him her schoolbag and ate the fruit platter as they walked out.

“There are quite a lot of mangoes here. Did you prepare this for Qiqi too?”

Song Zhou nodded. “Can’t people be friends if they can’t be boyfriend and girlfriend?”

Tang Beibei thought for a few seconds. “It depends… If one party is willing but the other party is not, 1 think it’s impossible. But again, I don’t have much experience in dating, so what I said might be wrong.”

Song Zhou sighed. “Miss Ruan seems to be very unhappy with me. Is it because of the kissing incident?”

done.me

“What, who kissed who?”

“Ahem, it’s fine.” Song Zhou quickened his pace, looking a little embarrassed.

Tang Beibei held back her laughter and deliberately chased after him. “Song Zhou, did you feel anything when Qiqi kissed you? ‘

“No, no.”

l ang Beibei frowned. “Song Zhou, are you a man? How can you not feel anything when a woman kissed you? You’re lying.”

“I’m not.” Song Zhou explained with a straight face.

“Okaaaaay,” Tang Beibei said meaningfully. “Didn’t you feel disgusted and repulsed when a woman you don’t like kissed you?”

“I…” Song Zhou looked at her in surprise. When he met Tang Beibei’s gaze, he felt a little guilty.

“You don’t have to tell me. You just have to understand it in your heart. Feelings come and go quickly. Give her space. Once Ruan Qi got over you, she might find a handsome guy who treats her well and likes her back.”

When they arrived at the dance studio, Tang Beibei shared the fruit platter with Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi said no thanks, but Tang Beibei told her that there were many mango pieces in there and she didn’t like mangoes. It would be a pity if she didn’t eat them.

Ruan Qi then took over fruit platter and asked, “Song Zhou is so smart. How come he doesn’t know that you don’t like mangoes?”

“This fruit platter was prepared by Silent Sister. She doesn’t know that about me.”

Ruan Qi muttered an “oh” and continued stuffing mangoes into her mouth.

When Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi said goodbye after dance practice, Song Zhou did not get out of the car. He was looking down at his phone.

Ruan Qi walked by and he didn’t even look at her.

Ruan Qi’s temper rose again and she left in a huff.

At this moment, only Song Zhou knew that his heart felt like it had been hammered a few times. He was in tremendous pain.

When they were back in the villa, Tang Beibei noticed that Song Zhou was nor in good spirits at dinner. She raised her eyebrows at Jiang Jingchen and asked him what was going on.

Jiang Jingchen picked up some food for her. “In life, some things are meant to be, and some things aren’t. If he didn’t want to go after something, no one can help him.”

Tang Beibei sighed and continued eating.

Song Zhou had lost his appetite. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and got up to go back to his room.

After Tang Beibei went to the dance studio to practice, Song Zhou went ro rhe study to report on his work.

“Young Master, Jiang Minglang didn’t succeed this time, he must be pissed.”

Jiang Jingchen nodded. “Let’s go to Jiang Corporation tomorrow and see him. He’ll be even more pissed.”

Song Zhou thought to himself that Jiang Minglang was nor only pissed, but he also probably wanted ro punch someone.

After sending Tang Beibei to school, Song Zhou turned the car around and drove to Jiang Corporation.

When they got out of the car, Song Zhou asked curiously, “Young Master, if Jiang Xing can’t get the things on the list ready, what do you think he will do?”

Jiang Jingchen put on a mask, his movements elegant and noble. He walked leisurely into the office building, like he was walking the puppies, minus the puppies.

“I will, of course, force him to get them ready. If I don’t, I’ll never know where his bottom line is.”

Song Zhou pondered over his words. ’And after you know Jiang Xing’s bottom line?”

Of course, I’ll stomp on it!”

“Isn’t rhe bottom line meant to be broken?”

What Jiang Jingchen said seemed to make sense, but in a twisted way.

When rhe two of them were heading ro the elevators, they were stopped by a receptionist for not wearing employee IDs.

Song Zhou berated, “This is the first young master of the Jiang family. Does he need an employee ID to enter his own company? I think you don’t want your employee ID anymore.”

The receptionist looked at the man wearing a mask. She had never met the first young master of the Jiang family. Besides, wasn’t it rumored that he was crippled and sick?

Jiang Jingchen’s recovery had not been made public yet, so it was understandable that the receptionist did not know.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t try to make things difficult for her. After all, receptionists were hired to greet visitors and ask questions when they didn’t recognize the visitors.

He took off his mask and said to her, “I’m Jiang Jingchen. I’m looking for my father, Jiang Xing. Please let us through.”

The receptionist was shocked when she saw the scars on his face. She asked him to wait while she called to ask.

After a while, the receptionist hung up rhe phone and said, “I’m sorry, First Young Master. The CEO is not in.”

“Oh, then what about my little brother, Jiang Minglang? 1 have something very important to tell him. He should be in, right?”

“Please allow me to ask.” The receptionist felt a little guilty.

She called Jiang Minglang’s assistant, who asked Jiang Minglang if he would see Jiang Jingchen.

Jiang Minglang was curious. He wanted to hear what Jiang Jingchen wanted to say.

“Let him in.”

The receptionist got her response and said, “First Young Master, Young Master Minglang is upstairs. Let me bring you up.”

Jiang Jingchen’s visibility in the Jiang family had been very low all these years, and Jiang Minglang didn’t like others calling him Second Young Master, so in the company, everyone called him Young Master Minglang.

The receptionist invited Jiang Jingchen to step into an elevator when Song Zhou said, “You go ahead and do your work. We ll look for him on our own.”

The receptionist was busy too, and since the guests had said it, she left them alone and went back to work.

When the elevator door closed, Jiang Jingchen pressed the button for the 36th floor. That was the floor with the President and CEO’s office, while Jiang Minglang’s office was on the 35th floor.

The elevator door opened and the two of them walked out. The secretary saw them and tried to stop them. “First Young Master, why are you here? This, this…¹‘

Jiang Jingchen didn’t stop walking. “It was your Young Master Minglang who asked me here. He also asked me to look for my father.”

The secretary hesitated and her action of stopping them slowed.

Jiang Jingchen pushed open the door of Jiang Xing’s office and smiled when he saw Jiang Xing sitting behind his desk.

“I didn’t believe it when someone said that you weren’t in the office. Turns out 1 was right.”
