0025 Dating
The next day, Jiang Jifan dressed up carefully. When she went out, she met a neighbor who was walking her dog. The friendly lady asked her if she was going out on a date because she was dressed so nicely.
She made no attempt to hide it, nodding and smiling in response, "Yes."
After saying goodbye in the elevator, Jiang Jifan walked alone to the side door and found that the man's car was parked on the side of the road, apparently having been waiting for a long time.
Tantai Qing heard the soft sound of high heels on the ground from afar. Turning around, she saw a woman wearing a matcha green fitted halter dress, with a pair of pearl earrings hanging on her delicate earlobes. Her black hair and red lips exuded elegance.
As the gaze shifts slightly, a subtle cleavage is revealed beneath her delicate collarbone, and her fair and full breasts are faintly visible. The fitted fabric accentuates her slender waist, making her figure appear even more exquisite.
Tantai Qing could see how much she valued it, and his already high spirits about the upcoming meeting became even more joyful.
Jiang Jifan felt a little awkward under his burning gaze. She quickly walked a few steps to stop in front of him, and without saying a word, she just looked at him quietly with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
Realizing his lapse in composure, the man chuckled sheepishly and moved to open the passenger door for her.
This time, Tantai Qing didn't take her to any of those proper restaurants, but instead took her to a very charming rooftop Western restaurant.
He must have made a reservation in advance, because as soon as the two sat down, a European-looking waiter came to serve them, and a series of dishes were served one after another.
They were seated in a great spot; just by turning their heads, they could see the bustling night view outside the window: towering buildings, heavy traffic, flashing neon lights, and dazzling illumination.
The dim lighting and soft, flowing music in the room enhanced the atmosphere, creating an inexplicable feeling of wanting to linger there forever.
During the meal, Tantai Qing noticed that she hadn't touched the tuna salad the whole time, so he asked, "Don't you like fish?"
Jiang Jifan took a sip of red wine, nodded, and said, "Hmm, it seems a bit troublesome."
She choked on a fish bone when she was a child, and ever since then she has been traumatized by it, rarely eating fish unless absolutely necessary.
Upon hearing this, Tantai Qing immediately instructed the waiter to remove the plate of tuna, claiming it was to prevent her from recalling unpleasant memories.
Jiang Jifan felt he was being too cautious, but he didn't stop him.
In the men's restroom, Tantai Qing bent down to wash his hands at the sink, and the idle chatter of several men behind him inadvertently reached his ears.
"You mean Jiang Jifan? Who would dare harass her in the workplace? Wouldn't that be courting death?"
The man's nonchalant voice rang in her ears, and Tantai Qing paused slightly.
He looked up at himself in the mirror and saw several men in suits standing with their backs to him in front of the toilet. Since there weren't many people in the restroom, they talked without any restraint.
"You don't know, when she first became a manager, someone took her to dinner with the higher-ups. In the middle of the meal, some coal mine owner asked her to blanch pea shoots for the male leaders present, saying they had to be crisp and tender. And guess what happened?"
Tantai Qing raised his hand and turned off the sensor faucet, then stood silently in place waiting.
"As a result, the man ordered a plate of sea dog penis from the waiter, then cut it into eight pieces and served it to the male leaders. It is said that the old geezers were so angry that their faces turned green!" The man speaking seemed to find it absurd as well, and couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
"Holy crap, that's brave!" Another younger man stared in disbelief, his jaw practically dropping in astonishment.
Tantai Qing took out a tissue to wipe his hands, then smiled and looked down.
With such a distinctive style of doing things, he knew who it was without even hearing the name.
When he returned to the restaurant, Jiang Jifan had already touched up her makeup and was sitting at the table waiting for him. She was a little puzzled that he was taking so long to come back, but she didn't ask any questions.
When Tantai Qing saw her, he thought of what those men had said earlier, and felt that she was very unique.
Jiang Jifan followed beside him, recalling all his actions that day: opening the car door for her before she got in, pulling out her chair before she ate, and carrying her bag after she finished eating...
If you ignore the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, they look just like a couple deeply in love.
After getting in the car, she fastened her seatbelt and finally couldn't suppress her curiosity. She turned to him and asked, "I'm curious, are you this gentlemanly with other women too?"
