Her heart tightened. Zishu was right. This man was a wolf, she couldn't afford to offend him.
"Lao Fang, drive."
Luo Hanshang left her side and coldly ordered the driver.
She quickly said, "Wait a minute, I'm hungry. I want to eat something first before leaving."
"When you go back to the hotel, someone will prepare di er for you."
She pointed at the restaurant outside the window and said, "I want to eat here. Her dumplings are very delicious."
Luo Hanshang's sharp gaze fell on her face.
After her expression eased up a bit, she smiled and said, "I haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night. I'm really very hungry."
Not eating for a day and a night? Luo Hanshang frowned. Was this woman a fool? He said, "You get out of the car and go eat."
Ning Jiang was delighted, but when she got out of the car and was about to turn around and say goodbye, he actually followed her.
Seeing her surprise, he gave a charming smile and whispered into her ear, "I know what you're up to, but you won't be able to escape tonight."
Her heart tightened as she said, "I didn't have any evil intentions, and I have no intention of ru ing away."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the small restaurant. However, she was secretly cursing in her heart. Why was this man so haunting?
Entering the restaurant, the Lady Boss said affectionately, "Yo, young lady, it's been a long time since you've been here."
Ning Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, female boss. I've been busy lately and miss your dumplings so much."
"Fine, fine, fine. What kind of filling do you want?"
Ning Jiang looked at Luo Hanshang."What kind of filling do you want?"
"I don't eat."
Ning Jiang didn't force him. She turned around and said to the Lady Boss, "I want a serving of cabbage meat dumplings and celery meat dumplings."
"Alright." When the Lady Boss returned to the kitchen, Ning Jiang took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks barrel and rubbed them.
Luo Hanshang pursed his lips, "It looks like you do come here a lot."
"Otherwise, do you think I'm lying to you?"
She smiled, the hypocrisy of the past gone from her face."My father loves to eat dumplings, but my mother does not like to eat dumplings. In order to prevent trouble with my mom, when my dad wanted to eat dumplings, he would come here. Over time, the dumplings here became my favorite food."
Luo Hanshang looked at her for a moment and asked, "How do you know Fu Boyuan? It seems that you two are very familiar with each other."
"Uncle Fu and my dad are alumni, and he is also my dad's best friend."
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows: "Your dad?"
"You know him?" Her gaze landed on his face.
"I don't know him, but I heard that he is a designer from Coastal Bay Bridge."
Ning Jiang's expression turned cold, her voice filled with displeasure."Not only did my father design the Coastal Bay Bridge, even the bridge around the mountain that was awarded is designed by my father, and the floating bridge over Chengshan Lake is also designed by my father."
Hearing the anger in her tone, he said calmly, "Humans are born to be like this. No matter how many good deeds they do, it's not easy for people to remember them. However, as long as they do something wrong, they will be remembered and insulted by the world for the rest of their lives."
Anger appeared on her face, but she had to admit that his words were correct.
Auntie came out with two plates of dumplings.
"Miss, I put a few more in each plate for you. Eat more."
"Thank you, Lady Boss."
Ning Jiang looked at Luo Hanshang with a trace of craftiness in her eyes. She said to the Lady Boss, "Lady Boss, give me a few cloves of garlic."
The Lady Boss quickly delivered the garlic.
Ning Jiang asked Luo Hanshang, "You really won't eat it?"
"Not eating."
"Then I'll eat it myself."
She picked up her chopsticks, ate a dumpling and took a bite of garlic.
Seeing how she ate, Luo Hanshang couldn't help but frown.
It was the first time he had ever seen anyone eat in a small restaurant like this.
This was the first time he saw a woman eating, and she was actually eating raw garlic.
The most important thing was that Ning Jiang's appetite was really huge.
There were at least fifty dumplings in two servings, but she had eaten them all in one go.
After eating her fill, she touched her belly and said with satisfaction, "Such a delicious dish, it's such a pity that you couldn't eat it."
She stood up to pay.
He stared after her and couldn't help smiling.
This was the first time he met a woman that didn't care about her image.
On the way to the hotel, Ning Jiang didn't say much.
They went up to the sixty-sixth floor together. He closed the door and held her against the door. He was about to kiss her when she covered his mouth with her hand.
He said unhappily, "What? You still want to refuse me after coming here?"
She smiled coquettishly and let go of his neck, wrapping her arms around his neck and speaking into his face, "My future sister's husband, I just ate garlic and my mouth stinks. Are you sure you want me to cooperate with you now?"
With the two of them talking at such a close distance, it was impossible for him to not smell the stench of garlic in her mouth.
He raised his eyebrows."Go wash."
"Alright, but I need to make a phone call first. How about you take a bath first, Brother-in-law?"
Luo Hanshang didn't suspect anything as he turned around and entered the bathroom.
Ning Jiang stared at the bathroom door and smiled slyly.
Only when she heard the sound of ru ing water in the bathroom did she walk to the door and open it.
She turned her head and shot a cold glance at the bathroom door, then quickly left.
