Chapter 288 - Selena Tang (37) (1/2)
While the woman's choice of words was quite weird, when viewed literally, apart from ignoring the man or throwing him statements which were either sharp or spicy, she did nothing else. At least, nothing that could be said harmful to him. The prank where she urged the director to make him constantly repeat scenes did not really make Jiang Li annoyed. So he was quite dumbfounded when he overheard the woman talking to Mo Fang about him.
After that though, he pretended he did not see the two women nor heard anything from them. He had a hunch they saw him already. But he didn't want to be held back by Mo Fang so he hid and discreetly entered his car which was on the opposite side of the lot.
Of course, he did not leave yet, planning to at least confirm that Selena would be able to go back to her vehicle unharmed. Although he was confident that Mo Fang wouldn't be able to do anything to her and would be no match against her wordplay, there was nothing wrong with being careful and prudent.
Time passed and Selena seemed to have finished saying her piece to Mo Fang. She walked away from there and started going to his direction.
After watching the red car which appeared unpleasant to his eyes drove away, he stuck his head out of the open window of his car. He waved a hand at the cold girl. ”Would you like to join me in a ride?” he asked with a smile as she neared. He reckoned Selena's ride was parked near his.
Her signature scoffing face registered in his eyes as she elegantly strode towards his direction. ”Who would join someone so suspicious and two-faced like you? I'm afraid I'll be killed with boredom.”
”I thought you want to disgust me for life.” He teasingly said.
That made her freeze on the spot. Selena blinked her beautiful hazel green eyes at the man, wondering, 'So this damnable bloke overheard but purposely did not show himself or intervene?'
'Keep calm… You have to be the one angering him. Not the other way around.'
With a forced smile and eyes still emitting frost, she rolled her eyes and pulled the door to the backseat.
”Hey, sit here in front. The passenger seat is a free seat. I don't charge fees.”
”No, thanks.” She said as she fished her phone out, planning to text her bodyguards to follow Jiang Li's. She raised her head and indifferently told him, ”My time is precious. Go drive. If the destination is not nice, I'll make you regret it.”
”Treating me like a driver, huh?” Jiang Li chuckled, amused but not offended. 'Should I tell her my plan is only to waste gas and circle around the city?'
After switching the lights on so the interior would not at least become pit black, with only her phone's LCD giving off a bit of light, he laughingly added to himself, 'Better not. I'm sure she'll realize it soon.'
Two people set off with no destination in mind. However, since soon started to bicker back and forth, the drive didn't truly bore them.
The aimless trip ended up with them visiting unusual places in the city, like a Watermelon Museum, an underground city. They even entered a gay club. But it was Jiang Li who backed out and then led the woman to a restaurant inspired by waterside towns. There they ate Cantonese cuisine inside an elegant-looking black-awning boat that still wobbled above the water, of course, not without an exchange of 'humorous' words.
…
When the man woke up and reached for his phone that was still ringing an annoying and childish ringtone, his eyes were still half-closed and blurry. Actually, his head was hurting a bit since he drunk a bit after being dragged to the clubhouse by Wen Hui and their painter friend, Gao Jing. Selena was escorted home by her bodyguards. In actuality, he wanted to be the one to send her home, but the girl had already transferred to the other car before he could protest.
In his anger, he made sure the two accompanied him to drink until past midnight. No, it might be close to witching hours when they finished since he got annoyed when those two flaunted to him that they were close to capturing their targets. Normally, the report would have made him pleased. But said more than ten times in a single hour, who could stay calm and collected?
”Hello? Who is this?” he unhurriedly spoke while checking the time.
”Zheng Xiang, I suppose?”
