If he had known, he would have chosen another place.
He should have taken a look and found a restaurant that would be perfect for a date.
However, it's too late for Jing Pei to regret it now.
After all, things have come to this point.
After the two finished lunch, Hong Baobao looked at Jing Pei and said, "Brother Jing, you can speak now."
Hong Baobao always felt that Jing Pei was looking for her for no real reason.
Or rather, what Jing Pei asked her to help with wasn't actually anything particularly important.
After a long while, Jing Pei finally said, "It's like this, I want to ask you for help to pretend to be my girlfriend for a while."
Jing Pei hesitated for a long time before saying those words.
When he planned to ask Hong Baobao out, he had already figured out how to talk to her.
But when it came time to speak, he found it difficult to open his mouth.
His main concern was that Hong Baobao would refuse outright.
However, after much hesitation, he finally spoke up.
After Jing Pei revealed this, he kept staring at Hong Baobao, wanting to see how she would react.
Unfortunately, Jing Pei couldn't glean anything from Hong Baobao's face.
Jing Pei was somewhat disappointed, but since Hong Baobao had not rejected him yet, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
He hoped that Hong Baobao would agree to his request.
Hong Baobao was actually extremely surprised when she heard what Jing Pei said.
However, she didn't show it on her face.
"I'm sorry, Brother Jing, I'm afraid I can't help you with this," Hong Baobao said, declining.
Jing Pei had anticipated that Hong Baobao would refuse, and he had made preparations accordingly.
However, upon hearing that Hong Baobao had rejected him, Jing Pei felt quite uneasy.
However, he also knew that these things had to be done slowly and couldn't be rushed.
“Since you don’t agree, I won’t force you,” Jing Pei said.
Hong Baobao hummed in agreement and then said nothing more.
As for why Jing Pei asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend, she didn't ask any further questions.
"Brother Jing, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Hong Baobao pretended to check the time, stood up, and prepared to leave.
She always felt that there was something wrong with the way Jing Pei looked at her.
This wasn't the first time she had felt this way.
At first, she thought she had misread it.
But now, she feels that she wasn't mistaken.
Before leaving, Hong Baobao suddenly asked Jing Pei, "Brother Jing, you don't happen to like me, do you?"
Hong Baobao's question was asked suddenly, and even she was startled when she asked it.
But once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.
Moreover, Hung Bao Bao had no intention of taking it back.
Hong Baobao looked at Jing Pei, waiting for his answer.
When Jing Pei suddenly heard Hong Baobao ask the question, his reaction was a bit strong, and he immediately stood up from his chair.
Even though it was only a short while, Jing Pei thought about many things.
If he were to tell Hong Baobao the truth now, perhaps Hong Baobao would take him seriously.
But if he doesn't tell the truth, perhaps Hong Baobao won't even know that he likes her, and she won't take him or his feelings seriously.
Finally, after much deliberation, Jing Pei finally told the truth: "Yes, I like you."
Hong Baobao wasn't surprised at all by Jing Pei's answer.
She had guessed this to some extent.
"Ahem, Brother Jing, I've always considered you my older brother," Hong Baobao said earnestly.
Because Jing Pei is Jing Tang's brother, and judging from their appearances, they are about the same age.
Although Hung Bao Bao's actual age is definitely much older than twenty.
But she felt that now that she was a human being, she should just live according to the age that appeared in human form.
Therefore, she has always regarded Jing Pei as Jing Tang's older brother.
Suddenly, Jingpei told her that he liked her.
This made her very uncomfortable.
This made Hong Baobao feel very embarrassed.
Upon hearing what Hong Baobao said, Jing Pei immediately frowned.
“I’m not your brother, and I don’t want to be your brother. But if you’re my lover, I wouldn’t mind,” Jing Pei said very seriously.
After saying that, Jing Pei walked towards Hong Baobao.
When Hong Baobao saw Jing Pei walking towards her, she couldn't help but take two steps back.
When Jing Pei saw Hong Baobao backing away, he stopped in his tracks, feeling as if he had been stabbed in the heart again.
"Baby, you're single right now, so why don't we get to know each other? Maybe after a while, when you get to know me better, you'll start to like me."
Hong Baobao shook her head and said, "Brother Jing, I won't like you. I have something to do, so I'll go first."
After leaving those words, Hong Baobao departed.
Looking at Hong Baobao's quickly departing figure, no matter how you look at it, she seemed to be fleeing in panic.
Jing Pei didn't chase after her. He felt that since he had just confessed his feelings, he should give Hong Baobao some time to think it over.
Maybe if you give her some time to think it over, she'll realize that she does have feelings for him too.
Just like he was back then.
After Hong Baobao left, her brows were furrowed. She felt a mess in her mind whenever she thought about what Jing Pei had just said.
After leaving the store, Hong Baobao stood outside for a while before driving away.
Today, Hung Bo-bo arrived here in her own car.
On the way back, Hong Baobao tried her best not to think too much, but sometimes, it's not something she can control.
Hong Baobao was driving very well, but she was driving quite slowly.
But soon after, her car was hit by someone.
Hong Baobao frowned and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
The car that hit Hong Baobao is now parked on the side of the road.
Hong Baobao got out of the car and checked it; the car wasn't seriously damaged.
At this moment, someone also got out of the car that hit her.
Hong Baobao did not know this man.
After getting out of the car, the man walked straight towards Hong Baobao.
Hong Baobao, however, did not move and stood still, waiting.
The distance wasn't far to begin with, and soon the man reached Hong Baobao's side.
"Why did you hit my car?" Hong Baobao asked.
She was almost certain that the man had deliberately run over her car.
"Oh, I was just bumping into it for fun," the man said casually.
Upon hearing this, Hong Baobao couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Just for fun?
Hearing this, she felt an urge to punch someone.
However, Hung Bo-bo managed to hold back and didn't hit anyone.
"Let's pay for the car accident," Hong Baobao said again.
