Wang Tong’s face turned red as he kept shaking his head. “It’s fine. I don’t need one.”
“Didn’t you say that you really want to find a girlfriend? Now that there are so many potential partners here, I’ll introduce one of them to you.”
Ye Xiong was very insistent on setting Wang Tong and Lil Mei up, so he had decided to come up with a plan. It might have taken years for this slowpoke to get his hands on Lil Mei.
“Brother Xiong, I really don’t need one,” Wang Tong said hastily.
“Stop lying to yourself!” Ye Xiong called out a young and beautiful lady out of the crowd. “Lil Hong, come here for a second.”
Lil Hong was the restaurant’s receptionist. She was eighteen years old and she looked extremely pure since she had just graduated from high school and entered the working force for only a brief moment.
Ye Xiong loved chatting and flirting with her when he had nothing better to do during working hours. They had gotten close after a few interactions and Ye Xiong would have already corrupted her if he had not cared for himself. As the saying goes, a rabbit will never eat the bushes around its nest.
She immediately understood Ye Xiong’s intention when the latter gave her the gaze.
The beautifully dressed Lil Hong walked out from the crowd. She stood beside Wang Tong and grabbed his hand.
Wang Tong was so shocked that he immediately flung her hand away. His perplexed look caused everyone to laugh uncontrollably.
“Department Head Wang, why don’t you become Lil Hong’s boyfriend?” Lil Hong pulled and rubbed her body against his arm. Everyone became excited and cheered when they watched her doing so.
Wang Tong did not know what to do. A man like him had never been in such a situation before. He was now the main character.
Just as he was at a loss of words, Lil Mei stood up among the crowd, walked towards Wang Tong and pulled him to the back. She then shouted, “Ye Xiong, if you want to be shameless, please do it alone. Don’t be a bad influence on Lil Tong or I’ll never forgive you.”
“How am I a bad influence? I just want to introduce a potential girlfriend to him.” Ye Xiong smiled.
“There’s no need for that. He already has a girlfriend.”
“I would’ve known if that’s the case.” Ye Xiong acted in disbelief as he turned around to Wang Tong and asked, “You don’t have a girlfriend, right?”
“About that…” Wang Tong did not know how to reply at all.
“Who says he doesn’t. I’m his girlfriend.” Lil Mei claimed.
“Who would believe you?” Ye Xiong waved his hand and refused to believe her claim. “Unless you can prove it to me.”
“How can I prove it to you?”
“Kiss Wang Tong.” Ye Xiong giggled.
Wang Tong felt a cold sensation by his cheek just as he was about to defend himself. Lil Mei had planted a solid kiss on his cheek.
“Do you need more proof?” Lil Mei seemed to be protecting her baby as she pulled Wang Tong behind her back. Since she was tipsy, she took the opportunity to shout, “Everybody listen up. Wang Tong is my boyfriend and I’ll fight to the death if anyone dares to take him away from me.”
Everyone cheered as Lil Mei pulled Wang Tong back to the corner as if she was the winner. After this, they had become much closer than before.
“Thank you!” Ye Xiong reached towards Lil Hong’s ears and whispered.
Lil Hong grabbed hold of his neck and said with a blush on her face. “Now that I’ve helped you out, how are you going to thank me?”
“How do you want me to thank you?” Ye Xiong sneered.
“Accompany me tonight,” Lil Hong said as a strong smell of liquor fumed out of her mouth.
“I’m sorry, I’ve plans tonight.” Ye Xiong patted her leg.
Disappointment could be seen in Lil Hong’s eyes as she watched Ye Xiong walking away.
“Are you happy now? That little girl has fallen head over heels for you,” Du Yuehua said unhappily and rolled her eyes the instant Ye Xiong sat down.
“Such a pure lady is nowhere comparable to a ten-thousandth of Sister Hua.”
Ye Xiong used his tipsiness as an excuse to get closer to Du Yuehua and he could smell the unique fragrance exuding from her body.
“An old pearl like me is no match for the young lady.” Du Yuehua sighed.
“Sister Hua, you’re only twenty-five, turning twenty-six years old this year. You’re in your prime. How can you say that you can’t compete against those young ladies?”
Du Yuehua was in a short skirt that night. Her fair arms were flawless, her nails were very well trimmed, and were even painted with a layer of silver-gray nail polish. She seemed to have put on very light make-up. It did not look frivolous nor conservative as it emitted a strong womanly vibe.
Her maturity could be seen in every part of her body.
This mature attraction was not something a young lady without life experience could portray.
“You guys and your sweet words.” While Du Yuehua’s expression was ice-cold, she was incredibly touched on the inside.
Every girl wanted to be praised by men, especially the man they had their eyes on.
The crowd dispersed at around one in the morning as everyone had their fair share of alcohol.
Ye Xiong pulled Wang Tong to the side before they parted. He whispered in Wang Tong’s ears as the latter blushed so greatly that he kept shaking his head.
“Sister Hua, let me send you back.” Ye Xiong offered.
Du Yuehua had drunk quite an amount. She should have rejected him rationally as she was afraid that something might happen to the two of them if they went back. However, after she pondered for a while, she could not find a better person to send her back and had no choice but to accept the offer.
Du Yuehua could not hold in her curiosity as she asked in the car while they were on the way back home, “What did you tell Wang Tong earlier?”
“I told him that safety comes first and he should be careful,” Ye Xiong replied.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Du Yuehua said rudely and rolled her eyes, “You must have taught him something bad. He wouldn’t have blushed like that otherwise.”
“Sister Hua, you’re indeed sharp and smart. You got it right in one guess.” Ye Xiong started laughing.
“What did you tell him?” Du Yuehua asked curiously.
“I’ll tell you when we reach home.”
Du Yuehua’s heart kept pounding during this journey, so much so that she did not dare to look at Ye Xiong in the eyes. She had a strong feeling that something was going to happen that night. She was scared, but she was in the mood as well. Her mood was everywhere.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance and Du Yuehua’s heartbeat was so strong that it almost popped out of her chest.
