Chapter 21: The Two of Them Hit It Off Immediately

  Soft music echoes in the restaurant, the atmosphere is romantic.

  Jiang Jing walked over to the window and nodded slightly, "Zhou Shao, nice to meet you."

  "Miss Jiang, nice to meet you." Zhou Si had already stood up, gentlemanly took a step forward, pulled out the chair for her and made a please-sit gesture.

  Jiang Jing inclined her head slightly and smiled appropriately, "Thank you."

  Zhou Si turned around and sat down, the corners of his lips curved into a good-looking arc. "Miss Jiang is several times more beautiful than in the photos, elegant, dignified, bright and lovely, it's simply astonishing."

  Any woman who hears a man's compliment on her appearance, even if it is not sincere, will accept it wholeheartedly. Jiang Jing felt that she was just an ordinary woman and naturally felt happy in her heart.

  She smiled, "Mr. Zhou is a charming and humorous person, I thought he was just a successful businessman, but unexpectedly, he's more than that... his appearance is elegant and refined, handsome and extraordinary, his conversation is witty and cultured... in short, much better than I imagined."

  Zhou Si thought in his heart, this woman is obviously dishonest.

  Stereotypical? Probably no one would use this word to describe him. Although he claims to be elegant and not vulgar, the outside world generally portrays him as a diamond king with a flowery young master, which is an exaggeration. So, if you're not completely indifferent to him, then there's only one answer: intentionally telling lies.

  Two people sat face to face, one with a smile like a flower and the other with a gentlemanly demeanor, but in reality, both were harboring ulterior motives.

  After chatting for half a day, they gradually entered a state of perfect understanding. All their interests and hobbies were brought out and discussed in detail. Before long, the two had already made up their minds.

  Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the colors of the sky gradually deepened, and the neon lights on the street flickered, a vast expanse like the sea.

  As soon as the meal arrived, Jiang Jing had already forgotten about her image, picked up her knife and fork to fill her stomach, then lifted her head to meet Zhou Cai's peach blossom eyes.

  Jiang Jing wiped her mouth with a napkin and smiled, "What, haven't seen a girl who eats so well before?"

  Zhou Si hooked up the corner of his mouth, "I dislike artificial women the most, you're pretty good."

  Jiang Jing decided to be straightforward, "Actually, I usually pay attention to my image in front of people, but with you...I think if we want to cooperate, I should be honest with you."

  "'Cooperation?' He raised an eyebrow with interest. 'I like this word. You go ahead and talk, I'm all ears.'"

  Jiang Jing straightened up and said, "I know that if Mr. Zhou wants to form an alliance through marriage, there will be many beautiful women lining up behind him, I may not be the most advantageous one, but I have something that they may not..."

  Zhou Si's curiosity arose, staring at her and asking, "Tell me..."

  "Frankly, you don't have to worry about me knowing your private life, and of course, I won't worry about mine either. Everyone minds their own business, and we can even cover for each other - isn't that a win-win situation?"

  Zhou Si's face changed slightly, and he nodded with interest, "Jiang Jing, I must say, you are the most interesting woman I have ever met. I think the other half I am looking for should be someone like you who is straightforward."

  Jiang Jing sneered in her heart, men all hope that the flowers at home are always blooming, and the wildflowers are even more fragrant. With such conditions, who wouldn't be tempted?

  "But your conditions don't seem bad either, why did you choose me?" Zhou Si raised an eyebrow slightly, looking thoughtful.

  Jiang Jing raised her cup with a sly twinkle in her eyes, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

  "Of course it's true."

  "Because outsiders say you're a playboy and your methods of dealing with messy accounts are also high-end. I don't want my other half to be flirting around outside and then come back expecting me to clean up the mess."

  Zhou Si let out a sound, raised her face and smiled lightly, but that smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, secretly gritting her teeth. You're good, Jiang Jing, changing your methods to scold me, huh?

  Although so, the conversation went very smoothly. Jiang Jing's trump card was revealed, and Zhou Si felt that everything coincided with his own plan.

  "Cheers to our win-win cooperation."

  When leaving, Zhou Si sent Jiang Jing back home. When getting off the car, he leaned over and kissed her cheek, with a gentle and natural movement. To outsiders, it was warm, sweet and tender.

  "We should practice frequently, only then will it seem effortless...... Let's start from today." Zhou Si shrugged his shoulders and smiled as he explained.

  Jiang Jing stiffened for a few seconds before suddenly relaxing. She pushed open the car door and waved at him, "Thanks. Be careful on the road."

  She knew that such a show actually had nothing to do with feelings, so she had to get used to and adapt to the man's necessary intimacy.
