Chapter 335 - An Extremely Annoying Guy

He wasn’t anticipating that Tan Mo would say, “But today is Monday. From what I know, Mondays are the busiest day of the week. A lot of work accumulates over the weekend, and all of it must be done on Monday. Important meetings are often set on Monday. At such a busy time, you aren’t in your office, but instead have been waiting in front of my school since 3:00 o’clock?”

“I know the approximate location of the Jiang Gao Corporation,” Ming Yeqing said. “Even if there is no traffic, it takes about 40 minutes to get from Jiang Gao Corporation to our school. It takes even longer if there is traffic. You must have set out from your office around 2:00 o’clock.”

“Lunchtime in offices starts at about noon and ends between 1:00 and 1:30. If work resumed around 1:30 in the afternoon at Jiang Gao Corporation, then Mr. Jiang here left after working a mere 30 minutes.” Qin Muye looked Jiang Siyong over from head to toe as she continued nastily, “So do you plan on relying on your parents forever? You’re not going to do any work yourself?”

“Plus, you left work to chase after a girl.” Ming Yeqing laughed and said, “What a good reason to skip work.”

Everyone looked at him and didn’t say anything else.

The three of them all had bewildered looks on their faces. They were interested in this subject only momentarily. Because they were still in school and hadn’t started working yet, this wasn’t something that concerned them all that much.

Everyone in the crowd who had gathered to watch this show was more surprised by Ming Yeqing. He was the young prodigy of Beijing University. He was a handsome, gentle young man who never spoke a harsh word.

Because he was younger than everyone in his class, his female classmates lamented that he was too young…otherwise he would surely have been popular among the girls.

He was also a genius in his field. He was Professor Yue’s favorite student.

He was such a scholarly and intelligent boy. They were not expecting him to criticize Jiang Siyong like that..

His words did not match the way he looked at all.

Jiang Siyong couldn’t keep up his fake laugh anymore. His smile stiffened.

What were these three people doing? What did they mean?

Nothing was going according to his plan!

Shouldn’t they be touched that he had waited here for Tan Mo for such a long time? Shouldn’t they be impressed at his patience?

Why were they asking him about his job?

“Mr. Jiang, if you have nothing else to say, then please excuse us.” Tan Mo smiled nonchalantly at Jiang Siyong.

This nonchalant smile was even worse than a fake smile. It just tugged at the corners of her lips lightly and then disappeared in just a second.

At most, her cheeks moved a little bit. Her eyes showed no emotion at all.

“Hold up!” Jiang Siyong stopped Tan Mo. “Since I came all this way…why don’t you at least take these flowers? Also, I want you to know it’s not like you think. I am not one to neglect my work. I…” Jiang Siyong thought of an excuse, “I finished all my work already this morning. Also, I planned to see you quickly, then return to work immediately afterward. And, in the three hours that I was waiting in my car for you, I was also working.”

Tan Mo thought to herself, he can surely make things up on the spot.

“I won’t take the flowers,” Tan Mo said. “Thank you for thinking of me, but I can’t accept them. I’m sorry for wasting your time. You took such a long time to drive here. I am sorry about that.”

Tan Mo turned to leave, but again Jiang Siyong stopped her and said, “You don’t know anything about me. How can you tell if you like me or not? I am not asking you to be my girlfriend now. I just hope that you will allow me to get closer to you.” Jiang Siyong smiled with confidence. “Of course, even if you say no, I will still try my best to get closer to you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Playing hard to get?

Great!

When he gets her, he will have an even greater sense of achievement.

“I bought these flowers for you, and I don’t plan on taking them back to my office. If you don’t like them, you can just throw them away,” Jiang Siyong said. “Please give me some time to get to know you better, and I will give you a gift that is something you like more.”

“I can tell you what I like right now,” Tan Mo said.

Jiang Siyong was not expecting Tan Mo to say that. She had been so difficult to talk with before.

It was just as he had expected. She had just been pretending the whole time. Once she’d heard that he would bring her a gift, she decided to respond to him.

Once she heard that he was going to give her whatever she wanted, she stopped pretending immediately.

She was just another greedy girl.

Jiang Siyong smiled with confidence. “What would you like?”

“I would like it if you stepped aside,” Tan Mo’s voice was sweet, but her tone was cold. “You are in my way.”

Someone in the crowd let out a loud guffaw. He had been unable to hold back his laughter.

Qin Muye also wanted to laugh, but she held it in. Otherwise Jiang Siyong might hold a grudge against Tan Mo.

Although he probably already held a grudge.

Jiang Siyong couldn’t pretend anymore. His expression stiffened, and his eyes became dark with anger.

“Tan Mo, ” Jiang Siyong lowered his voice, “there are a lot of people here. Are you seriously going to do this to me? Even if you don’t like me, we could leave together today so it doesn’t appear that you have rejected me in front of this crowd. After we get out of sight, you can go wherever you want.”

Jiang Siyong was still trying to play games with Tan Mo.

Tan Mo rolled her eyes and didn’t try to hide anything. “Not only today, I don’t want to talk with you on any other day either.”

Tan Mo didn’t like to be rude to people. However, if they were rude to her, she would respond in the same way.

And she didn’t like Jiang Siyong.

She said coldly, “If you continue blocking my path, I’m going to call campus security. I don’t even know you. You are the one who chose to attract the crowd’s attention. I was being nice, but you were not letting me go.”

“Tan Mo, ” Jiang Siyong took a deep breath, “I am not forcing anything on you. I respect you, and I made sure you made a great entrance.”

“A great entrance? You…?” Tan Mo’s eyes got wide as she exclaimed, “You are so…excessively confident in yourself!”

“You…!” Jiang Siyong suddenly laughed. “That’s fantastic. You are the first girl to ever say such a thing to me. That means you are different from all the other girls.”

Tan Mo was quiet for a moment. “…”

Qin Muye looked over. “…”

Was there something wrong with his head?

How could he say such a…ridiculous line in public?

They don’t even write stupid lines like that in teenage novels anymore.

“You guys are going to eat?” Jiang Siyong asked. “Where are you going. I’ll treat you.”

Tan Mo looked at him with disdain. “…”

Didn’t he understand what she had just said?

“We don’t want to go,” Tan Mo said.

“It’s just a meal. You could at least allow me to do that.” Jiang Siyong laughed. “Also, our households have business partnerships. It is always good to have a friend.”

“You keep talking about me allowing you, but it seems that you aren’t listening to me.” Tan Mo rolled her eyes. She wanted to vomit.
