0010 You're going to pursue me!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jifan opened the bottle cap that the man had screwed on for him and casually asked with a laugh, "What, are you going to pursue me?"
Tantai Qing was about to blurt out something when she was choked by her straightforwardness, and he stood there stunned, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
She tilted her head back and took a sip of water. When she saw that the other person had stopped talking, she turned around and glanced at him. Little did she know that she would see his serious and meticulous expression.
Oh no, she immediately thought to herself, "This is bad."
Could she really have been right...?
Jiang Jifan chuckled awkwardly twice, pretending to be nonchalant, "I was just joking, don't..."
"Well, if you don't mind." Tantai Qing smiled slightly at her, appearing calm and composed on the surface, but in reality, she felt a little nervous.
Jiang Jifan was genuinely surprised that her casual remark had put him in such an awkward position, and his face immediately stiffened.
Looking at the man in front of me, he was dressed in a suit and had a gentle demeanor.
To be honest, she didn't dislike him.
However, that only extends to not disliking someone; there are no other feelings besides that.
She couldn't remember the last time she had faced a man's advances so seriously, and she felt a little lost.
Just then, a gust of east wind blew by, and Jiang Jifan's knee-length red dress was suddenly lifted up by the wind, her long hair covering her face. But she didn't care about it. She quickly used her bag to press down the flying hem of her dress, and stood there with her head down, looking disheveled and embarrassed.
Tantai Qing immediately took off his suit jacket, walked behind her, unfolded the jacket and wrapped it around her skirt, which was swaying wildly in the wind. He then wrapped the two sleeves of the jacket around her slender waist and tied them into a knot.
Jiang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief as the embarrassingly flapping hem of her skirt finally stopped flying around. She took the opportunity to tidy up her messy long hair.
Her hair, which had been tightly bound by the headband, was now a mess. She simply looked up, took off the headband, and held it in her hand.
Jiang Jifan glanced down at her suit. The expensive fabric was soft and comfortable, clinging to her calves, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
She moved her legs almost imperceptibly, but didn't move them away.
Finally, it was Tantai Qing who broke the awkward atmosphere between the two: "It's windy outside, let me take you home first."
Jiang Jifan then turned to look at him, and remembering how he had just openly expressed his feelings to her, she was unusually evasive.
"No need, thank you. I'll just take a taxi home myself."
Tantai Qing gazed at her intently and said softly, "This place is too remote; it's hard to get a taxi here."
Jiang Jifan, however, refused to believe it and immediately opened a ride-hailing app.
Seeing how stubborn she was, Tantai Qing sighed softly and then didn't force her. He asked Li Yan to drive the car to the side of the road and got into the driver's seat to wait quietly.
As time passed, nearly half an hour had gone by, and the ride-hailing app on the phone screen was still spinning, showing that no driver had been found yet.
Jiang Jifan's patience was never very good to begin with, and now it was completely worn out. She rolled her eyes and angrily exited the ride-hailing app.
She glanced back at the black Maybach parked on the side of the road, considering whether to go over, but then remembered her stubbornness and felt that doing so would be beneath her dignity.
