BXBX NOVEL Chapter 375 - 375: Do You Want to Try?
As soon as she asked this, the temperature in the car slightly dropped.
“If I said I was sure, then would you be willing to actually be my girlfriend?” Sang Minglang smiled after a long while.
Zhang Xue bit her lip. Of course, she… Was more than willing.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have quit her job at the bar and tried her best to enter the Sang family’s company to become Sang Minglang’s secretary.
Although she mostly did peripheral work as his secretary, as long as she could see him from time to time while separated from him by only a wall, she was already very satisfied.
She had to admit that when Sang Minglang had helped her out that night at the bar, she had already developed feelings for him.
Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to have any other intentions toward her, always maintaining a polite and distant distance.
However, things were different this time when he suddenly called and asked her to come to Beijing.
On the way there, she was so excited because this was the first time he specifically asked her to accompany him on a business trip.
At night, when he said he would bring her here for a meal in the name of welcoming her, her heart pounded with excitement.
That was until she met Ruan Xiaoshuang…
Although Sang Minglang said that he and Ruan Xiaoshuang were just ordinary friends, her female instincts told her that their relationship was definitely not that simple.
Zhang Xue recalled the first time she met Sang Minglang at the bar. He had taught the person who made things difficult for her a lesson, even though that person was his business partner.
When she chased after him to thank him, Sang Minglang said coldly, “I didn’t do it for you.”
Before meeting Ruan Xiaoshuang, she had always thought that his words were just an excuse.
But now, she understood that perhaps he had attacked the man at that time not for her, but because she looked a little similar to Ruan Xiaoshuang, especially her eyes.
She knew that she shouldn’t be saying this, but Zhang Xue still couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Ruan, she… Is she really getting married?”
“Yes,” Sang Minglang said indifferently.
The uneasiness and hesitation in Zhang Xue’s heart suddenly dissipated.
No matter what happened between Sang Minglang and Ruan Xiaoshuang in the past, Ruan Xiaoshuang was going to get married now. What else could happen between the two of them?
The dream that she once dreamed of and thought was impossible to realize was now right in front of her. This temptation was too great, and she did not have the courage to refuse.
“If so, then I… I’m willing.”
His voice was like a mosquito, but it was clear and firm enough to reach Sang Minglang’s ears.
Sang Minglang wasn’t surprised. The smile on his face was still very faint as he said, “Then come to my place tonight.”
Her face was slightly red as she replied softly, “Okay.”
Today was her first day in the capital. Her luggage was still in Sang Minglang’s car, so it would be very convenient for her to just stay at his house.
When the car arrived, Sang Minglang helped her with her luggage and brought her upstairs.
The house was more than 200 square meters in size and was very spacious.
When Zhang Xue followed him into the house, it was hard to tell what her state of mind was.
She already had a good impression of him, and now that the two of them had officially confirmed their relationship, even if he wanted to do something to her tonight, she wouldn’t refuse.
However, Sang Minglang was very gentlemanly, not having any thoughts that he shouldn’t have.
He took her to another bedroom and pointed to the cloakroom and bathroom. “If there’s anything you’re wondering about, just ask.”
After saying this, he left.
Zhang Xue felt a little lost. She stood there silently for a while and began to clean up the clothes in her suitcase.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door again. She looked up hurriedly and saw Sang Minglang standing at the door, placing a card on the table. “I’m usually busy, so I might not have much time to accompany you. This card has no limit on it. If you want to buy anything, just swipe your card. The password is six is.”
She was stunned.
“Oh right, if I remember correctly, you once said that your father’s company was in trouble, right?”
He said lightly, “If your family needs money, you can withdraw some from this card directly. You don’t have to tell me how much it is. If you need any more help, you can look for me.”
When she worked in the bar back then, it was indeed because her father’s company had closed down and her family had encountered serious financial problems.
Before today, she had many times where she was alone with Sang Minglang, but he had never mentioned anything.
The two of them always had a polite and distant superior-subordinate relationship. Sang Minglang had never taken any extra care of her in the past.
Zhang Xue thought that he had long forgotten what she said back then..
She did not expect him to still remember and to be so thoughtful after they confirmed their relationship.
Her eyes were a little moist as she said softly, “Thank you… President Sang.”
After referring to Sang Minglang as ‘President Sang’, Zhang Xue thought of their current relationship.
She looked carefully at him, mustering up her courage as she said, “In the future, is it alright if I call you… Minglang?”
Since the two of them were now a couple, it was inappropriate for her to call him President Sang.
“It’s up to you.”
Sang Minglang had an indifferent attitude. “However, in the company, it would be inappropriate to call me that.”
Zhang Xue was ecstatic. “I know. Then… Minglang, you… Make sure to sleep early.”
“Minglang”, that name which she had called out in her heart countless times, seemed to be tainted with the temperature of a flame, scalding her mouth dry and painting her cheeks red. She didn’t dare to look at his reaction at all.
“Alright, you too.”
Sang Minglang’s reaction was very indifferent. He raised his hand to close the door and left.
The sound of footsteps soon faded away. Zhang Xue covered her burning face and could not return to her senses for a long time.
To Sang Qianqian, the movie didn’t match up to its online reviews.
A movie with a love suspense theme might be considered exciting from a traditional point of view, but Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu had experienced too much in life. Some of the plots in the movie were too cliche, and it didn’t feel as dramatic as what they had gone through.
In addition to that, there was a couple sitting in front of them. They looked like they were in the middle of a passionate relationship and did not come to watch a movie at all. They hugged and kissed as if no one was around. The girl even made sounds that made people blush and their hearts race from time to time.
Sang Qianqian was so embarrassed that she almost died. Occasionally, she would steal a glance at Shen Hanyu, but he did not move at all, as if he did not hear anything. He was watching the movie without looking at her.
This man truly was an iron wall if he wanted to be.
When the movie finally ended, she dragged Shen Hanyu and ran out of the theater.
The night air was fresh, and the evening breeze carried a faint floral fragrance.
Sang Qianqian let out a long sigh. “I won’t go watch movies at the theater again. If I want to watch movies, I’ll just do it at home.”
“Sure,” Shen Hanyu smiled.
“There’s a shop selling candied fruits over there.”
Sang Qianqian pointed to the front. “I want to eat candied strawberries.”
It was already spring, and the weather was getting warmer. There were fewer people selling candied fruits, so it was rare to see one tonight.
Naturally, Shen Hanyu did not refuse and went to buy a bunch for her.
The strawberries were covered in a layer of caramelized sugar. They were bright red and sparkling. They tasted sweet and delicious in her mouth.
Sang Qianqian handed the candied strawberries to Shen Hanyu. “Hanyu, do you want to try it? It’s very sweet.”
“Alright.”
Shen Hanyu stopped in his tracks and leaned over slightly. However, his target wasn’t the strawberries in Sang Qianqian’s hand, but her lips..
