Chapter 102 - Hunting

The girl tried the dress on and looked into ‘his’ eyes. She asked shyly, “How about this dress?”

Ling Xi was slightly stunned, then she smiled, “Very beautiful. It seems we’ve helped this dress find it’s rightful owner!”

There seemed to be two splotches of bright red on the girl’s cheeks.

“Then I’ll take this one.”

“Alright, Miss. This dress is worth 350,000 yuan.”

Mom, it hurts too much. I’ve spent 350,000 yuan on a mistress. It doesn’t matter. If it’s a big deal, I’ll ask Shu Tingting for reimbursement.

Carrying the bag containing the dirty clothes, “I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”

The girl was immediately anxious. “Sir, wait a minute. You don’t have my phone number yet! How are you going to return my clothes to me?”

In fact, she didn’t want the dress back at all, it was only for her selfish desires…

Ling Xi typed the girl’s phone number into her cell. “I’ll contact you after I’ve sent the dress for washing.”

“Okay.”

The girl looked at ‘his’ shadow. It was as if her whole heart was chasing it.

For the first time, her heart was beating for a man. She covered the part where her heart was gently with her hand… Right, she’d forgotten to give ‘him’ the suit ‘he’ had tied around her waist.

Ling Xi’s mouth rose up slightly at the corners. When hunting women, the first meeting shouldn’t be about entanglement, otherwise it would have the opposite effect. Buying clothes was to give herself face. Lines such as ‘let’s have dinner together’ seemed a little deliberate.

The real hunt started with the second meeting.

“Grandma, Mom, how does this dress look on me?”

Old lady Meng saw that her granddaughter was all smiles and said, “There are a lot of dresses at home, but I don’t see you look so happy. Which wild man sent it? Come out with the truth.”

Meng Jingyue immediately replied in a spoiled manner, “Grandma, he’s not a wild man!”

The woman next to the old lady seemed to have smelled something. “Yue Yue, do you have a boyfriend?”

Meng Jingyue bowed her head slowly, playing with her fingers. “Mom, what are you talking about?”

The old lady saw her being so shy and laughed. “Third wife, you don’t have to ask. She’s definitely in love.”

The woman immediately asked: “What does that young man do? What is his family situation like? How many people are there in his family?”

Meng Jingyue interrupted her at once. “Ai-ya! Mom, he hasn’t even spoken eight complete sentences to me yet!”

“Third daughter-in-law, I’ve said you don’t have to worry about her. This girl’s heart is so high, so the person who has been able to enter her eyes must be a particularly good man.”

“Yes, it’s still grandma who knows me.” Meng Jingyue clasped the old lady’s arm.

“In any case, as long as he’s not a star, when you two become a done deal, bring him home for your grandma to see.”

Meng Jingyue thought about it. He was starting an entertainment company, so he wasn’t a star. She smiled sweetly at the old lady. “Ok, grandma.”

….

After returning to her room, Meng Jingyue grabbed her cell phone, flipped onto the bed and rolled over and over. She had finally waited until the next day, that was, the third day Ling Xi had promised Shu Tingting.

“Ding– Cha–”

Meng Jingyue grabbed her phone excitedly. It was a message from him. ‘Hello, I’m the one who spilled the coffee on you yesterday. The dress has been sent and washed, so I’m alerting you. Is it possible for you to meet me at ‘Restaurant 520’ under the ‘Shengtian Department Store building’ at 5:00 in the evening?’

The smile on Meng Jingyue’s face couldn’t be suppressed in her heart. ‘Restaurant *520’, even the address was so meaningful. Did he also like her?

She sent back a message with lightning sped. ‘Okay, I definitely won’t miss you.’

*When you write May 20th in numbers, it’s written 5.20. When you pronounce the numbers 5. 2. 0 in Chinese, 五二零 wǔ èr líng, they sound very close to the words 我爱你 wǒ ài nǐ. That is, I love you.

Stay safe inside.
