章 28: Modern Tang Priest
Looking at Dong Manman, who was full of flattery, An Qi had a hard time holding herself back. Leng Jin, who was cutting his steak, also froze awkwardly, as he was not sure how to delicately reject Dong Manman.
After a while, Leng Jin then said, "Dong Manman, my knowledge of Chinese medicine is limited to just the very basics that I learned from my teacher in Chinatown. So, it cannot be taken too seriously."
However, Dong Manman insisted. "I don't care, since you could see that An Qi had caught a cold, you must be skilled."
"But... I..." Leng Jin was placed on the spot and felt helpless in the face of Dong Manman's unreasonable demands. He looked over to ask An Qif, his eyes pleading for help.
An Qi understood the situation instantly, but it couldn't be helped, as she'd experienced too many similar incidents. When they were still in school, she'd paid for Dong Manman's straightforwardness frequently.
An Qi had thought that Dong Manman would improve when she grew up. However, even after all these years, she was still quite reckless.
She whispered in Dong Manman's ear, "Please don't embarrass Mr. Leng. In fact, I didn't catch much of a cold this afternoon. Maybe he saw that I didn't want to eat that greasy food, so he made up a reason to help me out of an embarrassing situation."
Dong Manman listened as she gazed as An Qi suspiciously.
"It's true. If you embarrass Mr. Leng now, it will probably affect your collaboration in the future." After An Qi had finished speaking, she gave Dong Manman a firm look.
Fortunately, it turned out that Dong Manman had no other interest in Leng Jin, as she really just wanted to liven things up by asking him to take her pulse. So, Dong Manman pulled back her arm and pouted.
She then said in a huff, "You owe me this time! How are you going to compensate me?"
Leng Jin seemed indifferent as he answered, "As long as you don't ask me to take your pulse, anything can be done."
Huh?
Is it so simple to cause the dream lover to follow suit?
Does this mean that Dong Manman's entry into the Paris fashion circle is confirmed?
An Qi was confused. By this time, the waiter had already started serving them their entrees. On the left of the table was the all meat and no vegetables series that had been ordered by Dong Manman, and on the right was the green nutritional series that had been ordered by Leng Jin.
However, An Qi had no intention of eating at all, as she had lost her appetite entirely. She was upset, as she did not understand why Leng Jin would grant Dong Manman's request so easily.
Dong Manman, with her fist on her chest and her head slightly tilted sideways, explained to An Qi, "So, it's true that the Leng Jin would never touch a woman, nor let any woman touch him!"
No wonder! An Qi thought. She had feared that Dong Manman's abruptness would lead to Leng Jin's dissatisfaction, but the girl had already had a plan for a long time! However, An Qi had just guessed the beginning, but not the end...
"But... Isn't Mr. Leng a designer? If that is the case, don't you come into contact with models quite frequently? If not, then you're really an otherworldly dream lover!" An Qi sighed.
She then winked at Dong Manman in secret. This fellow was too much! He was really insatiable!
Dong Manman, however, did not shy away from praising Leng Jin. She turned and winked at him openly. "If it were up to me, Master Leng would be a modern Tang priest. He would never be blinded and seduced by those coquettish girls!"
Leng Jin ignored Dong Manman's laughter and said to An Qi seriously, "I wouldn't mind that if I were to meet one!"
His eyes were full of hints, and An Qi looked down almost instantly, while blushing. This made Dong Manman realize that Leng Jin's invitation tonight was not simple.
Dong Manman looked at An Qi, then at Leng Jin, and suddenly was inspired.
"Leng Jin, didn't you just tell me that there was a personal task that you had that nobody could handle? However, isn't there a perfect long-legged candidate right in front of you?" As she spoke, Dong Manman patted An Qi on the shoulder.
"Huh? Me?" An Qi asked in shock. "What are you talking about? You must be joking!"
"I'm not kidding! After all, no girl does not envy the thought of going to Paris, France to live in the spotlight!" Despite An Qi's tiny claws scratching at her back, Dong Manman explained.
She then added, "Since the birth of little Yufei, she might have some flab on her, but compared to ordinary people, she's still quite slim!"
When An Yufei was mentioned, Leng Jin was obviously stunned, was was An Qi, who was slightly confused as to why Dong Manman had said such a thing.
"I didn't expect Miss An to have children at such a young age!" Leng Jin muttered to himself.
"Haha, you can't tell that she is a mother by looking at her, can you?" Dong Manman raised her head proudly. "Before you came, you reminded me not to forget to invite the friend who had appeared on my iPad the other day. Now that I've brought her to you, why aren't you talking more?"
Dong Manman kept staring at Leng Jin as if she was trying to look through him. An Qi gathered from her words that it was not Dong Manman who had made this dinner happen, but Mr. Leng!
Strangely enough, if she was interested in him, it would only be because he looked so much like the cute guy who had saved her in the past. So, she had to wonder...
Why is Leng Jin so interested in me?
Could he be...?
An Qi did not dare to associate the two... After all, for so many years, she had been trying to find the cute guy! Besides being her own life-saving benefactor, the cute guy was also a witness in the kidnapping case! Thus, he was the only person, other than An Qi, who could prove that An Qi's mother's car accident was no simple accident!
