Chapter 3 – Half 1 out of two

The temperature within the restaurant was a bit excessive, so Jiang Tao took off his coat and put it on a seat beside him. Cao An regarded over. The little nurse, who solely wore a white sweater, had a thinner determine. Together with her nervous expression, she appeared to have been caught by him and compelled to go on the date.

Cao An was very clear about his picture within the eyes of outsiders. Since he was born, he didn’t wish to hassle hiding it. Marriage is a lifetime factor, and one can not deliberately grow to be one other particular person simply to marry a spouse.

The waiter introduced the meals over. “Did you want my assist?” he requested.

“No, we are going to do it ourselves,” Cao An replied.

After refusing the waiter’s provide, Cao An picked up just a few slices of meat and put them on the grill. Jiang Tao checked out his fingers. With such peak and a powerful physique, Cao An’s fingers had been lengthy and large, and his wheat-coloured pores and skin was filled with power. Jiang Tao even doubted that he might simply bend the chrome steel barbecue tongs. Rising up so large, it was the primary time Jiang Tao met such a person in actual life.

“Are you afraid of me, or are you not good at socializing?” Cao An immediately raised his eyes and requested Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao discovered that the silent Cao An made individuals stressed, and when he spoke, his aura grew to become stronger.

“Just a little bit,” Jiang Tao replied as she held the glass in each fingers and took one other sip of lemonade.

“How did Aunt Biao introduce me to you?” Cao An requested.

Jiang Tao deliberated and concluded: “She talked about your age, training, peak, and so on., and stated that you’ve got a very good persona.”

The time period ‘extraordinarily wealthy’ was too vulgar, and ‘I’ve by no means been in a relationship due to my silly mouth’ was an entire misinform cowl up his mafia seems to be.

Jiang Tao nodded in settlement.

Regardless of being deceived by the top nurse, she believed that the nurse wouldn’t introduce a felony to her.

Cao An flipped over the meat on the grill whereas his cell phone display immediately lit up. He picked up his cellphone to reply the decision and continued turning his gaze downwards.

Jiang Tao couldn’t hear the voice on the opposite finish and solely heard Cao An’s transient response, “Buried?”

“I’ll go over within the afternoon, and I’m going to bury one other,” he replied.

Jiang Tao and different diners close by had been left bewildered. What was he burying? Was he actually a mafia boss, and therefore why he was so audacious to speak about it in public?

The environment within the restaurant grew even quieter, with the sound of diners gulping down their drinks on the diagonally reverse desk changing into audible to Jiang Tao.

Cao An set down his cellphone and served Jiang Tao just a few slices of meat, which he had already roasted. Each time he added meat to the grill, he doubled the quantity and shared it equally together with her as soon as it was cooked, to keep away from being too humble.

However Jiang Tao had a small urge for food, and when she noticed that Cao An was going to offer her extra meat, she blocked it together with her hand and stated, “You eat. I’m nearly full and I’ll simply have porridge subsequent.” Cao An checked out her and requested, “Are you actually full?”

Jiang Tao reluctantly met his gaze and stated, “Sure, actually.”

Cao An now not insisted and put all of the meat on the grill onto his personal dinner plate.

Jiang Tao sipped her porridge slowly, smiling and answering Cao An’s questions, however she didn’t carry up any subjects herself.

As they began on their fruit, Cao An requested, “I’ve one thing to do that afternoon. The place do you reside? I’ll take you residence.”

Jiang Tao replied, “Don’t fear, I can take a taxi myself. The street isn’t far.”

Cao An insisted, “I’m not in a rush. I’ll take you residence.”

Jiang Tao began to refuse however couldn’t resist the extreme and decided look in Cao An’s eyes. She compromised and stated, “Okay, please do.”

Taking a chew of her strawberry, Jiang Tao silently inspired herself to persist for an additional half-hour earlier than she might lastly half with Cao An and loosen up.

On the restaurant’s entrance, the cashier was ready. Jiang Tao adopted Cao An to take a look at and nervously advised, “Lets cut up the invoice?”

Cao An turned again to her.

Jiang Tao dropped her gaze, so nervous that she was nearly trembling.

Cao An replied, “I’ll pay first, and I’ll ship you the invoice later.”

Jiang Tao breathed a sigh of aid as Cao An paid.

The 2 restaurant workers behind the cashier had been chatting. Nevertheless, once they noticed Cao An, the environment instantly froze. An elementary faculty pupil was about to run into the restaurant earlier than his mother and father. When he regarded up and noticed Cao An, he froze for just a few seconds earlier than retreating and hiding behind his mother and father.

Cao An didn’t appear to note this scene.

Jiang Tao, alternatively, might see it clearly from the facet. The individuals close by had been all afraid of Cao An, and their expressions towards her had been far more sophisticated. She didn’t know what tales they had been concocting of their heads.

As they left the restaurant, Jiang Tao walked beside Cao An, biting the bullet.

The shopping center is stuffed with individuals all over the place, however irrespective of the place Cao An goes, individuals robotically give strategy to her. Nearly everybody avoids her fierce gaze and secretly seems to be on the lady subsequent to the “boss” who seems to be superb at first look.

Jiang Tao: …

The environment is getting increasingly more tense. What ought to I do?

“Drink milk tea?” Cao An requested, pointing to a milk tea store forward.

Jiang Tao: “Okay, okay.”

She didn’t dare to play together with her cell phone in entrance of Cao An to ease the embarrassment, so it was pure to drink milk tea.

When the 2 got here to the milk tea store, Cao An’s highly effective aura made the small milk tea store grow to be silent.

Jiang Tao ordered a cup of pomelo fruit tea.

Cao An paid however didn’t order.

Waiter: “It can take about ten minutes.”

Cao An led Jiang Tao to a small desk for 2 individuals within the retailer. Jiang Tao sat down, and Cao An sat reverse. Due to the slender area, his legs needed to be separated on either side of the small desk. His knees had been really larger than the tabletop, and his robust higher physique appeared to have the ability to utterly cowl Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao felt so small for the primary time.

She turned her head and regarded on the little milk tea buddies with nice curiosity.

This additionally gave Cao An a possibility to have a look at her.

The little nurse’s pores and skin was very reasonable with a bit child fats on her cheeks which had been flushed and supple.

She isn’t tall, however her neck is slender, and there’s a small black mole in the course of her facet neck behind her proper ear.

In Jiang Tao’s peripheral imaginative and prescient, Cao An stored dealing with her.

This reminded Jiang Tao of her six failed blind dates. Every time the person fell in love together with her, however she was not tempted in any respect.

Jiang Tao was very afraid of Cao An, and much more afraid that Cao An wouldn’t have the ability to settle for her rejection.
