Chapter 174: Lu Ziyi, I’m Going to Pursue You!
“Xiaoxiao has some unfinished business,” Lu Ziyi said kindly, “I came to pick up takeout for her. She really likes your hand-torn beef and candied taro.”
“Thank you for Xiaoxiao’s liking,” Xiao Yu bowed politely.
Tang Jie’er composed herself, pretending not to have heard what Lu Ziyi and the waiter were discussing. She said elegantly, “Ziyi, you haven’t ordered anything for yourself yet.”
“Just a glass of lemonade is fine. I’ll leave after I’m done with this.”
Xiao Yu asked, “Will the takeout be ready soon then?”
“Ah…” Tang Jie’er tried to interject.
Lu Ziyi had already responded with a “Mm,” and said, “Just bring it to me when the takeout is ready.”
Tang Jie’er let out a breath and instructed, “Another pot of black coffee. Ziyi, do you prefer it plain, or with sugar and milk?”
“With sugar and milk,” Lu Ziyi replied, “Xiaoxiao likes it sweet and creamy.”
Tang Jie’er smiled, thinking to herself, why doesn’t she get fat then?
As the waiter went to place the order, Lu Ziyi got straight to the point, asking, “Miss Tang, are there any problems with the Tang Group?”
“It’s not about the Tang Group,” Tang Jie’er took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and said, “It’s a very important personal matter that I want to discuss with you privately.”
“Oh?” Lu Ziyi responded faintly. He couldn’t imagine what personal matter concerning Miss Tang he could possibly resolve, or perhaps she wanted to ask him about her studies.
Tang Jie’er smiled elegantly and said, “Ziyi, in the past ten-plus days of interacting with you, I initially doubted your abilities. But gradually, I was won over by your talent. You are full of mystery to me, and I really want to get closer to you and understand you.”
“Heh,” Lu Ziyi sighed, “I’m very sorry, Miss Tang. I’m very busy right now. If you want to continue listening to stories about the world’s ten greatest castles, I’m afraid I don’t have the time to tell them.”
Tang Jie’er gazed deeply at Lu Ziyi and said with deep affection, “It’s not just stories about the world’s ten greatest castles, I want to hear all your stories! Ziyi, I’ve fallen in love with you!”
Lu Ziyi was surprised. He hadn’t expected Tang Jie’er to say something like that so directly to a man.
Looking at Tang Jie’er’s expression, Lu Ziyi knew very well that her words were meant literally!
Lu Ziyi furrowed his brows deeply and reminded her, “Miss Tang, please consider Lin Chusheng’s feelings first.”
“Lin Chusheng and I broke up,” Tang Jie’er said very calmly. “It’s because I fell in love with you, so much so that I can’t accept being with any other man!”
“Heh,” Lu Ziyi said just as directly, “I’m sorry, Miss Tang, I don’t love you. I have a girl I deeply love, and I don’t accept being with any other girl!”
“It’s Ye Chuxiao, isn’t it?” Tang Jie’er showed no resentment at all, her expression still full of confidence.
“Yes,” Lu Ziyi said firmly, “I love Xiaoxiao!”
Tang Jie’er smiled, “But she’s not your girlfriend! Ziyi, you don’t have a girlfriend right now, do you?”
Lu Ziyi paused, his handsome face growing serious.
Tang Jie’er continued, “Ziyi, you are pursuing Ye Chuxiao, and I am pursuing you. It’s the same thing! Therefore, you can’t refuse my pursuit, can you?”
This seemed to be logical. Tang Jie’er was determined to have Lu Ziyi, and Lu Ziyi couldn’t refuse her. As for her, she would defeat Ye Chuxiao in minutes!
