0005 wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
"Sorry, I've been too busy with work these past few days and forgot your coat. When would be a convenient time for me to return it to you?"
During a break at work, Jiang Jifan went to the company's tea room to get some water and suddenly remembered the suit jacket he had forgotten at home for a long time. So he found the person's contact information, edited a message, and sent it out.
A few days ago, when she took the suit to the dry cleaner, the staff told her that the suit was custom-made by a foreign designer and was quite expensive. Recalling the wealthy and noble person's demeanor, she felt even more that the suit jacket was a hot potato.
Jiang Jifan unlocked his phone and glanced at the chat window, only to find that the other party hadn't responded. He wondered if the other person had already forgotten about it. Perhaps the other person didn't even need this one item in their wardrobe.
Since no one else cares, she doesn't need to take it to heart either. Jiang Jifan glanced at the message she had sent a minute ago, shrugged and put down her phone after confirming that everything was normal.
She only saw the reply when she was packing her things after get off work.
His first words were an apology: "Sorry, I'm quite busy today."
"I'm attending a friend's business opening ceremony this Sunday. Would you be able to come if it's convenient for you that day?"
Jiang Jifan thought for a moment, then did not refuse and immediately asked him for the specific address.
Fortunately, the agreed time wasn't too early, and she slept until she naturally woke up that day.
Following the address he gave her, Jiang Jifan stood beside a pile of congratulatory flower baskets, wondering whether to go in. At that moment, a hostess standing at the door greeted the guests and approached her with a smile, politely asking, "Hello, miss, do you have an invitation?"
An admission invitation? That person never mentioned it to her...
Jiang Jifan shook his head and said no. Just as he was about to send a message to ask the other party, a young man in a suit suddenly appeared.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Jiang Jifan?"
She looked up at the person who had come to her, and nodded after realizing who it was: "Hello, that's me."
Li Yan turned to the side and gestured "please," then smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, please come with me."
Jiang Jifan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver something, so I won't go in."
"Miss Jiang, please don't worry. My boss sent me to greet you."
Jiang Jifan followed him inside. It was very lively inside. She immediately spotted a man in a dark gray suit standing in the center of the booth, cutting ribbons with golden scissors alongside the main character.
In that instant, she suddenly felt that her trip was somewhat unnecessary.
After the ribbons were cut, applause and cheers rang out continuously. Tantai Qing placed the scissors into the red silk tray brought by the hostess, raised her eyes and smiled slightly. Just then, she saw a woman in a dark green halter-neck silk dress standing in the crowd. Her gaze seemed to freeze, lingering on her for a long time.
Jiang Jifan noticed that the man was looking at him, but before he could say anything, the man next to him handed him a glass of champagne.
Tantai Qing accepted the glass with a smile and graceful movements. She tilted her head back slightly and took a small sip. When she put the glass down, the beautiful figure she had just been watching suddenly disappeared.
"The things are inside, you can hold them for him, I'm leaving now." Jiang Jifan handed the bag to Li Yan.
Li Yan reached out and took it, and seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped her: "Miss Jiang, please don't leave yet."
"No need, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man who had been on stage strode over, looking apologetic. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Jifan shook his head and smiled, "I should be the one who feels embarrassed, for taking so long to return the clothes."
Tantai Qing said it was nothing, raised his hand to look at his watch, it was noon, lunchtime.
"Not yet." When he asked if she had had lunch, she answered truthfully.
They even skipped breakfast before coming over.
"I'm going to eat later. If you don't mind, would you like to come with me?" Tantai Qing invited her, and then emphasized, "It's just me, no one else."
Jiang Jifan felt extremely uncomfortable at the thought of having dinner with a complete stranger, so he immediately declined: "Thank you, but no thanks, I'm not hungry yet..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than an untimely voice rang out.
"Gurgle..."
Both of them were taken aback.
She wished she could disappear into a hole right then and there, and awkwardly raised her hand to cover her face.
Tantai Qing couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "Miss Jiang's stomach is much more honest than your words."
Jiang Jifan's face was flushed, and he stood there, feeling lost and helpless.
