"Lingxue, fancy eting you here. Pull over, let's chat and catch up."
Ma Long matched her speed, staring at Shen Lingxue with a completely smitten expression.
Shen Lingxue didn't respond to him, instead looking at Jiang Xinghai. "Should I get out and talk to him?"
"If you're asking for my opinion, then since you're old classmates, of course you can."
Jiang Xinghai was still turned to the side, watching Ma Long. "But not tonight. Can't you two make plans for another day?"
"Where is Lulu going for her banquet later?" Shen Lingxue suddenly asked, having thought of sothing.
"Qu Xiangrui's First-grade Pavilion," Jiang Xinghai said.
Shen Lingxue understood imdiately. She then turned to Ma Long. "Then let's go to First-grade Pavilion. We can eat and talk there."
"First-grade Pavilion? I know that place well! No reservation needed. I'll head over and wait for you." Ma Long was thrilled and about to slam on the gas.
"Could you give a ride?" Shen Lingxue asked with a sudden smile.
Ma Long's eyes lit up in pleasant surprise. "Of course!"
"Then let's pull over up ahead near Jishan Hall," Shen Lingxue said, maintaining her charming smile.
Ma Long couldn't have been more excited.
But Jiang Xinghai was utterly speechless and couldn't help but ask, "Lingxue, you asked for my opinion, so why are you still going?"
"Because I have a mind of my own," Shen Lingxue said matter-of-factly.
"But why choose to ride in his car?" Jiang Xinghai asked again.
Shen Lingxue just pursed her lips into a smile. "What's wrong with taking a ride in an old classmate's sports car? Besides, who are you to ? Why should I have to explain myself to you?"
Clearly, she was deliberately provoking Jiang Xinghai.
Jiang Xinghai was struck silent. He suddenly grabbed Shen Lingxue's arm. "We might not be together in na, but in reality, you're already my woman. And I was your first man, wasn't I?"
"So what if you were?"
Shen Lingxue replied with a nonchalant expression, "I already told you, we can just say that night was about mutual need."
"Fine." Jiang Xinghai nodded with regret.
But in his heart, he already understood what Shen Lingxue was planning.
Since Shen Lingxue was deliberately eting Ma Long for dinner at First-grade Pavilion, her intentions were clear.
He now had an additional mission for the night: to protect both won from harm.
「At the entrance of Jishan Hall.」
Ma Long's Porsche was parked there.
Shen Lingxue also pulled up in her BMW.
"Lingxue, long ti no see."
Seeing the breathtakingly beautiful Shen Lingxue so close, Ma Long was overjoyed. "And this is?"
Only then did he notice Jiang Xinghai's presence.
"He's my... driver, Jiang Xinghai," Shen Lingxue introduced them.
"Oh, so he's your driver."
Ma Long felt a wave of relief. He then smiled graciously at Jiang Xinghai. "Jiang, you can head back for now."
"Watch yourself, kid," Jiang Xinghai snorted coldly.
"You..."
Ma Long wanted to lash out. 'How dare a re driver tell to watch myself?'
But with Shen Lingxue right there, he didn't want to ruin his gentlemanly image, so he kept smiling.
Then, he opened the car door for Shen Lingxue, and the two of them sped off.
Before leaving, Shen Lingxue shot Jiang Xinghai a aningful look.
CLICK.
Slightly frustrated, Jiang Xinghai lit a cigarette.
He hoped Shen Lingxue wouldn't play with fire and get burned.
And he especially hoped that Ma Long would keep his wandering hands and irrational thoughts to himself.
Fortunately, he would also be heading to First-grade Pavilion in ten minutes. Even if Shen Lingxue was in danger, he could get there in ti.
"Xinghai's here."
Just then, Lin Liping ca out wearing a white lab coat. "Co on in! Lulu is still upstairs changing. Why are you just standing out here like a fool?"
"Okay." Jiang Xinghai stubbed out his cigarette.
Lin Liping silently brought Jiang Xinghai a glass of water. "I'm counting on you tonight."
"Protecting you and Lulu is my responsibility. It's no trouble. It's what I'm supposed to do," Jiang Xinghai said, looking gently at Lin Liping.
Lin Liping quickly averted her gaze and lowered her head. "I still haven't properly thanked you for getting Jishan Hall recognized by Master Xue Zhong of the National dical Hall."
"There's no need to be so formal with ."
Jiang Xinghai reached out and pulled Lin Liping into his arms, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "You've already given your first ti, so why are you still acting so distant?"
"Stop ssing around. Lulu's about to co downstairs."
Lin Liping squird and stood up. She had felt the warmth and pleasure Jiang Xinghai gave her and was secretly hoping for a next ti, but her niece, Feng Lulu, was about to co downstairs. 'If she saw us being so intimate, how would I ever explain it?'
Just as she was lost in thought, Feng Lulu ca downstairs.
"Auntie, that little bastard He Zixing said he's coming to pick up. He'll be here any minute."
"Huh? Brother Xinghai is already here!"
Feng Lulu, who had been wearing a sour expression, imdiately broke into a huge smile when she saw Jiang Xinghai. "So you did keep your promise."
