Chapter 18 My Mouth is Numb

Ignoring the people calling him from behind and not hearing their noisy voices, Jiang Jingcheng quickened his pace and soon left the villa.

After driving away from the Jiang family for a long distance, Jiang Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt better because he could no longer see or hear anything.

Not long after arriving at the store, Jiang Jingcheng received a message from Song Huaijing.

Song Huaijing did not show how tired he was in front of Jiang Jingcheng yesterday, but that doesn't mean he wasn't tired.

In addition to the jet lag, Song Huaijing slept a little longer than usual this time.

When he woke up, he picked up his phone to check the time, and then saw the message Jiang Jingcheng sent him. Song Huaijing quickly replied to her.

"Sorry, I just woke up and saw the news."

Jiang Jingcheng's message was sent an hour ago. In order to avoid the initial misunderstanding, Song Huaijing felt that he should explain it.

But after finishing the explanation, Song Huaijing was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say next.

There is no shortage of women who admire Song Huaijing, but when it comes to romance, Song Huaijing has only had one relationship.

Later, because the woman was too clingy, it really delayed his work. In just half a month, there was no substantial progress and it ended just like that.

Now facing Jiang Jingcheng, Song Huaijing is a little unsure about how to deal with him.

Jiang Jingcheng gave him a different feeling. She was not the kind of woman that he casually kept by his side like a friend. Song Huaijing always felt that he should be more cautious.

But he had too little experience, and apart from eating and shopping, he couldn't think of any innovative ways to date.

Song Huaijing was just thinking about it when Jiang Jingcheng replied, "Good morning, I'm already in the store."

He remembered that although today was not a working day, Jiang Jingcheng's coffee shop was still open as usual.

However, based on the previous two situations, there should be enough staff in her store, so if we go on a date, there shouldn't be any delay.

Before Song Huaijing could ask, Jiang Jingcheng asked first: "Today is Saturday, are you still busy with work?"

"I have a social event in the afternoon, so I don't have anything to do in the morning."

"We can have lunch together at noon. Is it convenient for you?" Song Huaijing asked.

"Sure!" Jiang Jingcheng said.

Song Huaijing smiled faintly, "Then I'll pick you up at the store at noon."

Jiang Jingcheng then sent a very cute emoticon package.

Inside the coffee shop.

It was still early and the store was not busy, so Jiang Jingcheng didn't need to help, so he just lay aside and played with his phone.

The girl who worked part-time in the store saw Jiang Jingcheng smiling silly, walked up to him, and suddenly asked, "Young boss, are you thinking about love so early in the morning?"

Jiang Jingcheng was startled. He turned around and saw that it was him. He reached out and hit him, "You scared me!"

"Young Boss, you are too absorbed in your thoughts. Don't blame me." Zhou Ying smiled foolishly and secretly looked at Jiang Jingcheng's phone. "Young Boss, is there something wrong?"

Jiang Jingcheng put down his phone and said, "Go away!"

Zhou Ying looked as if she saw through everything, and she turned and left. Jiang Jingcheng kept staring at her until she walked away, then he took out his phone and took a look at it, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

As it approached noon, more and more people came into the store, and Jiang Jingcheng also started to help with the cashier.

When Song Huaijing arrived, he saw Jiang Jingcheng helping with the cashier in the store.

Because there were so many people, she didn't notice him. Looking at Jiang Jingcheng talking to the guests with a sweet smile on his face, Song Huaijing was mesmerized.

She always seems so happy and always has such a sweet smile on her face.

Song Huaijing stared at him for a while, and Jiang Jingcheng finally noticed him. At that moment, Jiang Jingcheng was completely surprised.

The smile on his face was the same as before, but the feeling was different. Song Huaijing could feel it.

There were still people waiting to order, so Jiang Jingcheng felt uncomfortable leaving. Song Huaijing said gently, "I'll wait for you there."

"I'm fast." Jiang Jingcheng said.

Afterwards, Song Huaijing went aside and Jiang Jingcheng continued to help the customers take orders.

On the other side, Song Huaijing, who was waiting for Jiang Jingcheng, kept looking at Jiang Jingcheng.

After just a few minutes of waiting, Jiang Jingcheng had finished. She quickly called another clerk to replace her and then went to find Song Huaijing.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Jingcheng said apologetically, "There will be more people in the store during holidays."

Song Huaijing shook his head. "It's okay. Can you leave now?"

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go get my bag." Jiang Jingcheng said and quickly turned around and walked towards the back of the coffee shop.

Song Huaijing was waiting there, and after a while, Jiang Jingcheng came out.

The two left the coffee shop together.

The restaurant for today was chosen by Song Huaijing, a private restaurant. "I don't know your taste, so I chose one that I think is okay."

Song Huaijing asked Jiang Jingcheng, but Jiang Jingcheng said he was OK and could eat any cuisine.

"Okay." Jiang Jingcheng nodded. She was really not picky about food. At most, she would eat less if she thought the food didn't taste good.

The lunch went smoothly. The two of them ate and chatted, and nothing unusual happened.

After the meal was over, the two came out of the store. It was almost time, so Song Huaijing asked, "Should I take you home or back to the store?"

"Let's go back to the store." Jiang Jingcheng would not normally stay at the Jiang family's.

Song Huaijing sent Jiang Jingcheng back, but when they were about to get off the car, Song Huaijing pulled Jiang Jingcheng into his arms.

Jiang Jingcheng doesn't like to be passive, but when it comes to kissing, she can only accept it passively, and even needs Song Huaijing to remind her to breathe.

When Song Huaijing stopped, Jiang Jingcheng felt that his lips were numb.

Looking at Jiang Jingcheng's dazed look, Song Huaijing said nothing, but just touched her head with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Jingcheng's heartbeat hadn't calmed down until he got off the car and returned to the coffee shop.

Song Huaijing went to meet with several partners in the mall in the afternoon and played two games of golf with them.

I had dinner with them in the evening, then declined their subsequent activities and asked the driver to take me into the night.

When Song Huaijing arrived, the box was already filled with smoke, and it was obvious that they had been having fun for quite a while.

Zhuang Yan was singing at the top of his lungs. When he saw that the person who came in was Song Huaijing, he immediately stuffed the microphone into the hand of the woman next to him, then stood up and greeted Song Huaijing.

"Brother!" Zhuang Yan shouted loudly. His voice was so loud that even though it was noisy in the box, people around him could still hear his voice.
