For some reason, as Han Ming looked at Dong Xiaolu's pretty face, a familiar line suddenly popped into his head.

Seeing his mother still nagging, Han Ming was at his wit's end. He had a sudden idea and said goodbye to his mother, saying that it was getting late and he wanted to treat his colleagues to dinner.

Chen Fang realized that her nagging had worked, and her son remembered to invite the girl to dinner.

She stopped talking and, with a smile on her face, hurriedly told Han Ming to take Dong Xiaolu out for a good meal.

After saying goodbye to his talkative mother Chen Fang and glancing at his sleeping father, Han Ming politely led Dong Xiaolu out of the hospital.

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and the strong sunlight was shining on people, stinging their skin and causing beads of sweat to naturally appear.

If it weren't for his mother's constant nagging, Han Ming would still find it comfortable to enjoy the air conditioning in the hospital, or at the very least, the shady benches in the backyard garden would be nice.

But now, looking at the beautiful woman standing beside him, the two of them, a man and a woman, wandering around on the road in front of the hospital, just seem a bit silly.

Han Ming was puzzled. This girl was quite talkative on the phone, so why was she keeping her head down and not saying a word?

Little did they know that our Miss Dong was having a hard time maintaining her composure, inwardly cursing Han Ming for being such a pig-headed idiot, leaving her to bake in the scorching sun, trying to kill her with heat.

He cursed under his breath while shielding his forehead with his hand to protect himself from the ultraviolet rays.

The happiest person at this moment is probably the X-ray glasses, which are happily "eating" (recharging).

So they didn't bother with Han Ming and didn't give him any tips on dating when a man and a woman are alone together.

Fortunately, Han Ming hadn't been overwhelmed by the sun. After a while, his mind started working over time. It was too early for dinner, so he decided to find a coffee shop to sit in for a while.

He smiled and offered his suggestion to Dong Xiaolu. Dong Xiaolu was already feeling unbearably hot from the sun, and upon hearing the suggestion, she didn't care about anything else and immediately agreed.

The two saw a taxi parked by the roadside and ran over to it.

Dong Xiaolu ran even faster than Han Ming, making one worry that her beautiful legs in high heels might trip and fall.

The two sweltering people finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the air-conditioned taxi.

Dong Xiaolu remained silent, and Han Ming couldn't find a suitable topic to talk about.

Although he was a tech guy at the company, he was also quite eloquent and could talk a lot with several beautiful women and handsome men.

But now, facing Dong Xiaolu alone, he didn't know what to say.

I wanted to say something to express my gratitude first, but since the taxi driver was there, I held back and waited until we got to the coffee shop.

Han Ming told the driver to head to the pedestrian street, where there were more cafes and tea houses. The two of them drove on in silence, letting the car go.

Nanzhu County is a county next to Dongning City, the provincial capital. It is considered a sub-city of the provincial capital. Due to its advantageous geographical location, its economy has developed quite well.

Although it is currently a county under the jurisdiction of a city, there have been rumors that it will soon be changed into a district.

If it were changed to a district of Dongning City, people would say they are from the provincial capital, which would be a source of pride. So this rumor spread like wildfire in Nanzhu County.

Han Ming took Dong Xiaolu to the busiest commercial pedestrian street in the center of the county town, a place that was always very popular.

Although the shops along the street sell mass-market goods, they cannot compare to the LV and GUCCI brands in the provincial capital's large department stores.

However, due to its accurate positioning, many young men and women with limited spending power choose to come here to browse.

There are also popular cafes like Dio Coffee and Liang'an Coffee here, which is perfect for Han Ming, who is currently short of money.

In fact, Han Ming had considered the milk tea that cost a few yuan a cup at roadside cold drink shops.

But considering that the girl traveled a long way under the scorching sun to visit her father, it's really hard to be stingy.

Han Ming, who was quite concerned about his image, couldn't bring himself to do such a thing, so he brought Dong Xiaolu into Dio Coffee.

A cool coffee shop is definitely a good place for Miss Dong Xiaolu. She sat comfortably on the sofa, occasionally taking a sip of refreshing juice.

She looked at the bustling traffic outside the window, then stared at Han Ming for a while, but didn't say a word.

Han Ming felt uneasy about this situation and couldn't figure out what the girl was up to today. However, he felt he had to thank her.
