The stunning beauty Jing Xiangwei, her cheeks flushed, hesitated as she looked at the beautiful young matron Gao Hui, "Gao Hui sister, do you really think Shen Qiang will like ?"
The beautiful young matron Gao Hui laughed, "Silly girl, you're so pretty, which man wouldn't want you? To tell you the truth, my heart feels sour even now, if it wasn't for the fact that I married early and already have children, I wouldn't let you have this great opportunity."
The stunning beauty Jing Xiangwei, with eyes slightly shy, said, "But it's so embarrassing, he already has a woman by his side, I always feel like I'm trying to steal soone else's possession."
The beautiful young matron Gao Hui's eyes curved with her smile, "Who gets together with whom is a matter of mutual consent, what's there to steal or not steal? Look at those elite n, let alone a rare man like Shen Qiang, even those slightly successful in their careers, which one of them doesn't have a bevy of beauties around?"
Jing Xiangwei's cheeks were flushed as she spoke softly, "I don't know what's wrong with , the fiancé my family arranged for , even though he likes a lot and doesn't have other won by his side, I just can't stand the sight of him, no matter how I look at him, I don't think he's a man."
"Because every ti he sees , he acts like a servant, but Shen Qiang is different, he never gets flustered just because I'm pretty, instead, there's this sense of high-and-mighty arrogance about him that always makes feel unnatural."
Listenting to Jing Xiangwei's words and seeing her shy deanor, Gao Hui smiled, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable inside.
In fact, compared to others.
In Gao Hui's heart, Shen Qiang was simply the partner of her dreams.
His just and tily help, ti and again, was like a knight in shining armor, who would appear beside her on a cloud of auspiciousness each ti she was at a loss.
She loved Shen Qiang.
Gao Hui knew her heart very well.
But at the sa ti, she knew Shen Qiang was young, wealthy, capable, and if she were with Shen Qiang, he would assuredly beco the butt of others' jokes.
So Gao Hui wished every second that her own sister could take her place to protect Shen Qiang, be with Shen Qiang, and bear and raise children for him.
It was just a pity.
Her campus belle sister not only had high standards but also used the excuse of needing to strive for success to refuse Gao Hui's introductions ti and ti again.
Looking at the charming and stunning Jing Xiangwei now, Gao Hui felt an unsolicited surge of jealousy.
Jealous of her beauty, jealous of her figure, jealous of her youth, jealous of her good fortune, resenting her sister for missing the opportunity, resenting being born too early, resenting societal prejudice, resenting her own lack of courage...
But just then, the phone rang.
"Did you go to bed yet?"
Hearing Shen Qiang's magnetic voice, Gao Hui's gaze softened, and she glanced at the little one deep in sleep on the bed beside her.
Gao Hui said softly, "The child is asleep, and I was about to rest too."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang hesitated before saying, "I'm just outside the store."
Gao Hui was startled and looked at Jing Xiangwei with an inexplicably tense mood.
Then hesitated, "Why haven't you gone to sleep yet? You can't keep this up."
Shen Qiang said, "I can't sleep."
Gao Hui hesitated for a mont and then said, "Then I'll get Xiangwei to open the door for you."
Shen Qiang agreed.
Gao Hui imdiately pressed the phone and told Jing Xiangwei, "Shen Qiang is here, go open the door."
The stunning beauty Jing Xiangwei imdiately beca nervous, uttered an okay in a daze, and then turned to go downstairs and open the door.
Afterward, Gao Hui heard the sound of the rolling shutter door opening and Shen Qiang's voice through the phone.
Her heart ached without reason.
Gao Hui smiled and said, "Shen Qiang, the child has woken up, I'm with the child, I'll co down after the child goes back to sleep, you and Xiangwei wait for in the restaurant downstairs for a bit, have her make you so tea, and there's food in the kitchen if you're hungry."
Upon entering the first floor of the restaurant, Shen Qiang froze when he heard those words and responded with an "Okay."
Imdiately, he turned around and pulled down the rolling shutter door.
At that mont, Gao Hui said over the phone, "Shen Qiang, hand the phone to Xiangwei, I'll tell her where the tea leaves are."
Without much thought, Shen Qiang handed the phone to Jing Xiangwei, who was standing beside him.
Then, as a cultivator, Shen Qiang clearly heard the beautiful young woman Gao Hui lower her voice on the phone and say, "Xiangwei, don't you want to be with Shen Qiang? Then seize the opportunity. Sister Hui is going to sleep now, you keep Shen Qiang company and chat slowly."
Hearing these words, Jing Xiangwei's pretty face turned red up to her neck in an instant, and her mind went completely blank.
"He heard it, he definitely heard it. He's a Nascent Soul stage cultivator; he can hear even the slightest rustle of leaves. He must have heard Gao Hui's words... What do I do? This is so embarrassing. As a woman, aren't we supposed to wait for a man to pursue us before reluctantly agreeing?"
Jing Xiangwei's heart raced, her face and ears flushed, frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
And at almost the sa ti.
Shen Qiang's heart sank.
Jing Xiangwei was beautiful and attractive, vibrant and youthful, competent, very determined, and quite proud at heart.
Her affection for him was sothing Shen Qiang should have been happy about.
But now, Shen Qiang couldn't feel happy, not only because her older brother Jing Haotian was soone Shen Qiang had killed with his own hands, but also because of the beautiful young woman Gao Hui.
She was a woman who appeared fragile on the outside but was strong within.
Shen Qiang liked her.
Her gentle exterior and strong spirit, her snow-white and voluptuous figure, and the genuine and steadfast feeling she gave off.
So tonight, he ca here resolute, wanting to ask Gao Hui personally whether they could be together.
But having heard Gao Hui's words on the phone, Shen Qiang already realized.
Gao Hui did not want to be with him, at least not right now; that's what she seed to think.
Yet at the sa ti, Shen Qiang was incredibly certain that Gao Hui did like him.
Because from a psychological standpoint, when a single friend of the opposite sex around your age wants to set you up with a girlfriend or asks which type of girl you like, it is in her subconscious that she likes you.
She just wants to confirm your attitude towards her through others.
Or to explore through comparison whether it would be suitable for her to be with you or not.
The busy tone ca from the hung-up phone.
Jing Xiangwei, with a face flushed with shyness, was like a frightened rabbit as she passed the phone back and timidly said, "That... I..."
And just at that mont, as Shen Qiang reflexively took the phone, his finger happened to touch Jing Xiangwei's snow-white, slender hand.
Crack!
A spark of static electricity brought with it a needle-like pain and a numbing sensation.
It made Jing Xiangwei freeze.
At this ti, under the dim light of the restaurant, looking at Jing Xiangwei's poised figure and blushing face, Shen Qiang's mind inexplicably conjured up the image of her entwined in vines, her long, straight legs set against the bright red roses, looking as white as mutton fat jade.
Noticing the excitent in Shen Qiang's eyes,
A nervous Jing Xiangwei hastily said, "You sit first; I'll go get the tea leaves."
But almost at the sa ti, Shen Qiang reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
