Chapter 203: Their First Meeting
From this, it was clear how much Hao Shuai trusted her, so Tang Jingjing smiled satisfiedly and said, "My name is Tang Jingjing, you can call me Jingjing, everyone calls me that."
"Oh? Then can I call you something else, something special? Otherwise, if everyone calls you the same thing, it seems too meaningless." Hao Shuai’s response somewhat surprised Tang Jingjing.
"Ah? Then... how do you want to call me?"
Tang Jingjing’s cheeks turned slightly red. She felt there was more to Hao Shuai’s words and thought to herself, could it be that Hao Shuai, like herself, is interested in me?
"I’ll call you Xiaojing then, it feels more intimate, is that okay?" Hao Shuai sought her opinion.
"Sure."
Tang Jingjing didn’t even think twice, as long as Hao Shuai thought it sounded nice, she didn’t mind. Moreover, this name was indeed special and quite pleasant to hear.
"Hehe, Xiaojing sounds good, nice to meet you."
Hao Shuai sure lived up to his reputation as a master in flirting; back then, in South Sea City, he was known as Crazy Young Master, and also a master in romantic pursuits. Clearly, his skills hadn’t diminished at all.
Obviously, he already had half-won Tang Jingjing over, just need to put in more effort, and marrying Miss Tang wouldn’t be a difficult task.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked home, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Tang Family Mansion.
Of course, the mansion was named after the head of the household, naturally called the Tang Family Mansion, not the Celestial Wolf Mansion.
Seeing her doorstep, Tang Jingjing felt time had passed too quickly. She hadn’t even had enough chance to chat with Hao Shuai, and they were already home.
Although Hao Shuai was her father’s subordinate, only the Tang family lived in the mansion, while other subordinates lived in the Celestial Wolf Gang base or suites outside.
Evidently, Hao Shuai lived in an outside suite, meaning the two would soon part ways, which made her feel somewhat reluctant.
"Xiaojing, you’re home. Go back and rest early."
Hao Shuai wasn’t in any rush. As the saying goes, if you’re too eager, you won’t be able to taste the hot tofu, the more eager you are to win someone over, the more flaws you’re likely to show.
And Hao Shuai was a deeply scheming person, how could he commit such a grave mistake? So, he decided to implement a semi-sweet strategy, making Tang Jingjing feel an irresistible allure.
Sure enough, after Hao Shuai left, Tang Jingjing immediately started to miss him. Recalling the previous scenes, her face blushed, clearly falling for the feeling of being with Hao Shuai.
Early the next day, Hao Shuai’s car was parked at the Tang Family doorstep.
After contemplating deeply overnight, Tang Jingjing had already made up her mind to date Hao Shuai. So, today Tang Jingjing unusually got up early and even made a loving breakfast herself, a small cheese cake.
After packing it, Tang Jingjing hurried downstairs, her heart filled with excitement; this is what it’s like to be in love.
Love is like this; some people take years to like someone, while others only need a chance encounter.
Apparently, Hao Shuai and Tang Jingjing’s chance encounter took less than an hour, hero saves beauty, gets in the car, gets out of the car, just those simple steps locked Tang Jingjing’s heart tightly, even ten horses couldn’t pull it back.
"Hao Shuai, you’re here?"
The usually capricious Miss Tang Jingjing turned into a docile little lamb.
Hearing this gently sweet voice, Hao Shuai was overjoyed, Tang Jingjing was evidently more than half won over, the next step was to keep pushing, and it would almost be done.
"Yes, of course, I wouldn’t dare neglect Xiaojing’s request. I’ve already been waiting for half an hour." Hao Shuai said with a slight smile.
"Ah? Half an hour, why did you come so early..."
Tang Jingjing felt a pang of heartache hearing this, and continued, "You should have come later, I wouldn’t blame you."
"Hehe, as I said, I promised to do my best for you. I didn’t want to make you wait, so I preferred to come early."
Hao Shuai’s words hit right at Tang Jingjing’s heart; what a warm statement, making Tang Jingjing want to jump over and give him a hug.
It’s just inconvenient here at the Tang Family doorstep.
They got in the car, and just as Hao Shuai was about to start the car, Tang Jingjing handed over an exquisite box, which was the heart-shaped cheesecake she made early in the morning.
"Hao Shuai, for you!"
Tang Jingjing handed over the cake with a bashful expression.
Hao Shuai was first stunned, then received it and asked with a faint smile, "Can I open it and take a look?"
"Hehe, of course, but... you mustn’t say you don’t like it."
Tang Jingjing was a domineering young lady, so some traits were ingrained in her character, not changing easily.
Hao Shuai smiled wryly, but soon opened the box, inside was a good-looking small cheese cake. Although Hao Shuai wasn’t very interested in such junk food, after all it was from Tang Jingjing, he couldn’t be too indifferent.
He then picked up the knife and fork nearby, directly cut a piece, and started eating.
Unlike those young faces who lie for the sake of flattery, Hao Shuai tasted a bite, paused for several seconds, and then gave a very professional evaluation, "This cake uses fresh cheese, with a rich cake heart, slow-cooked over low heat, sprinkled with cheese on top, and steamed in the microwave for fifteen minutes... the taste is excellent."
Tang Jingjing was stunned hearing this; how come it felt like Hao Shuai was a master baker, so familiar with all this, but evidently, he was praising her cake’s deliciousness.
At this moment, Tang Jingjing’s face was filled with sweetness, being complimented by Hao Shuai, her affection level surged again.
"Alright, Xiaojing, fasten your seatbelt, we’re setting off." Hao Shuai felt it was enough, too much praise would appear too exaggerated.
So he started the car, and they headed towards Tang Jingjing’s company.
After this meeting, Tang Jingjing left Hao Shuai her number, and they agreed to go out for dinner together after work the next day.
Hao Shuai was delighted inside, what does this mean? Possibly, tomorrow night might be the night...
At the same time, it was just Saturday morning, marking a special day, the South Sea No.1 Middle School’s Summer Sports Festival started today, lasting two days.
Therefore, early in the morning, each class was filled with people, wearing pretty casual outfits. Of course, the cheerleader girls in the class wore uniform school uniforms, making for quite a charming sight.
The school uniforms were summer attire just issued recently, replacing the autumn ones; the only difference being that the summer version had short skirts for the girls. People often see this fresh and beautiful campus girl look on TV, now it was on full display.
A red and white short skirt, paired with a white shirt with red lapels, looked extremely charming.
As Chen Tianlong entered the classroom and saw such a scene, he froze. A girl beside him was standing in front of the blackboard, listening to the sports committee member’s arrangements.
And class president Lin Wushuang was also sitting at her desk, wearing an Adidas tracksuit, looking extremely healthy and pretty.
"Wushuang, you look very beautiful today."
Chen Tianlong approached and couldn’t help but say with a smile.
"Hehe, of course, when am I not beautiful? I’ve always been an ever-youthful and unbeatable beauty girl, okay?" Lin Wushuang confidently replied.
"Okay... uh, what are you participating in for the sports event today?" Chen Tianlong asked casually.
"High jump and... the 400-meter run!" Lin Wushuang responded directly.
"Wow, I didn’t expect that, you can run long distances, seems like endless stamina, and... can you jump high?" Chen Tianlong said as he glanced at her chest.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Wushuang was puzzled, but seeing Chen Tianlong’s straightforward gaze, she immediately understood, and fiercely glared, cursing, "You pervert, Chen Tianlong, you... wolf!"
Saying this, Wu Mengting realized they were in the classroom, having such a rant felt ambiguous, so she hastily shut her mouth but kept glaring at Chen Tianlong.
