"Why shouldn't I? You don't want it anyway, so why are you asking me now?"

"Who said I don't want it? I bought it with my own money. I have the lifetime right to dispose of it. Return it to me next time."

After saying that, Li Jingchen stood up.

He said he was full, but he clearly barely moved his chopsticks.

Jiang Tong stared at Li Jingchen's back in confusion.

What on earth was he angry about? Could it be that he just wanted the ring back and even invited her to dinner?

Aren’t they all thrown away?

When Jiang Tong came to her senses and stood up to pay the bill, it was too late. The boss said that Li Jingchen had already paid in advance and he had just gone out to drive the car over.

"Beauty, is that Fuqi Feipian not tasty? Neither of you touched your chopsticks. I clearly did as your husband asked and didn't put much chili in it."

Jiang Tong got the clue. What did her husband say?

The proprietress then said that Li Jingchen had actually booked a table in advance this afternoon.

"Your husband asked me to act more naturally and didn't let me tell you that he had reserved a seat. Otherwise, the seat on the second floor would have been occupied by someone else if it wasn't reserved."

Jiang Tong's heart skipped a beat. So that's how it was.

So Li Jingchen predicted her prediction?

No wonder she said he acted so calm when they went to Xiaolinxuan for dinner.

So, he still cares about her? Otherwise, why would he reserve a table at her favorite restaurant in advance?

"Boss, I'm leaving first..."

"Take care... come often."

Jiang Tong said yes.

After getting in the car and looking at the man driving, she mustered up her courage again.

"are you free tomorrow?"

"What are you doing?" Li Jingchen reversed the car, then turned around and sent her back to Ziwei Garden.

"You treated me to this meal, and I'll treat you tomorrow," said Jiang Tong.

Li Jingchen frowned, "I have to discuss a business deal tomorrow, so I may not be free."

"Oh." Jiang Tong's heart sank again.

Maybe he no longer wants to have dinner with her!

He sent her back to Ziwei Garden and Jiang Tong got out of the car.

"I'm free the day after tomorrow," Li Jingchen suddenly said, "The day after tomorrow is fine."

"No need," Jiang Tong said without looking back. "Apart from the child, there is no need for us to meet again. If you want the ring back, I'll ask Sheep to bring it to you another day. Thank you for the meal today. Please drive safely on the road."

After Jiang Tong finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Li Jingchen stared at her back and frowned. His schedule tomorrow was indeed very busy. If he didn't want to eat tomorrow, then what about the day after tomorrow?

He resisted the urge to get out of the car, not wanting to be led around by her at any time like before, so he forced himself to drive away.

Li Jingchen flew to Shenzhen that night to discuss business, but he did not tell Jiang Tong about his itinerary.

He returned to Nan Di to spend the Lantern Festival with his son, and the business had not been completed yet. The discussion also involved the female president. The woman's name was Ding Manxue. She was the one who sent the drunk Li Jingchen back last time. She was also the female boss of a listed company.

"Boss Li, let's talk about cooperation while we eat. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Let's do it another day. I have something else to do today."

Li Jingchen showed a faint aloof look,

Seeing this, Ding Manxue did not force it, and put her own interests first.

"I didn't expect President Li to be so busy even on Valentine's Day."

Li Jingchen frowned, remembering that Jiang Tong had hesitated to ask him to have dinner with her yesterday.

So today is Valentine's Day?

He didn't know.

"Boss Li? Boss Li?"

Li Jingchen came back to his senses and said absentmindedly, "I'm quite busy. My schedule is full."

"How can you still have time to drink when you are so busy?"

Ding Manxue said meaningfully, "Last time I saw you drunk in the bar, I offered you a ride but you were reluctant. When Miss Jiang grabbed you after you got out of the car, you obediently gave in."

Li Jingchen didn't say anything, and Ding Manxue asked about his private life.

"Mr. Ding is so interested in other people's private lives?"

"It depends on whose private life it is. Many women are very interested in Mr. Li's private life."

"Really? I didn't expect that I'm so popular with women. I have two hungry kids at home."

"Boss Li has such good conditions. If you want to find a stepmother for the children, do you worry about not having time? It all depends on whether you want to or not."

"I don't want to." Li Jingchen signed his name on the contract decisively.

"I have no plans to find a stepmother for my child."

"OK, fine." Ding Manxue signed the contract without saying anything more.

……

the other side.

After getting up, Jiang Tong went to the airport to pick up Xu Miaomiao's younger brother, Xu Dongdong.

Xu Dongdong was wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants. When he saw Jiang Tong, he ran over and waved at her.

Jiang Tong also waved and said to Xu Dongdong, "Let's go. Your sister is spending Valentine's Day with your future brother-in-law today and she doesn't have time to pick you up."

"Tsk," Xu Dongdong crossed his arms and said proudly, "What future brother-in-law? He's just a joke. I don't even acknowledge him. He's even more of a pup than me. How can my sister like him?"

Jiang Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't you know that a lover's eyes see beauty in everything? Let me take you home first."

"Sorry to bother you, Sister Tongtong. I'm sorry to have delayed your Valentine's Day today."

"Why do I have to go through that? No one wants to go through it with me..." Jiang Tong said she had to go back to the company to be busy.

"How pitiful," Xu Dongdong patted his chest, "Just wait, I'll make money to support you, and you can live with me!"

Jiang Tong laughed, what a little brat.

"How can you afford to support me? Your sister asked you to come back and be my bodyguard. Who is supporting who?"

Xu Dongdong choked, then made a gesture to save face and said, "Although I don't have money, I have everything except money. Believe me, I will protect you for the rest of your life."

Jiang Tong was ashamed.

"Let me drive you back first."

We have to send Xu Dongdong back to his home first, so that he can come to Nantong to work next week.

"I've discussed it with your sister. I'll give you 20,000 a month first. Don't think it's too little. I'll raise your salary after you've worked for a full year. You'll have five insurances and one fund, and you'll get a bonus at the end of the year."

Xu Dongdong was already very satisfied and raised one hand, "Boss, I promise that I will be your most loyal bodyguard and protect you for the rest of your life."

Jiang Tong said, stop it, don’t talk like that anymore.

"Why? I'm serious. You're so beautiful. My sister said you had a failed marriage. Your ex-husband was unreliable and your heart was deeply hurt. My sister asked me to protect you."

"Your sister is just worrying about nothing. Just help me get rid of the hooligans I met at work." Jiang Tong did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Not only do I have to help you get rid of the gangsters, I also have to help you beat up your ex-husband."

Xu Dongdong said, "If you dare to hurt you, next time I see your ex-husband, I will kill him!"

Jiang Tong took a look at Xu Dongdong at the red light and mourned for him, "How could you do this? Do you know who my ex-husband is?"

Xu Dongdong said bluntly, "Who cares who he is? I'll fight him if I don't agree!"
