Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?-Chapter 1068 - 423: Lin Shuwan Takes the Initiative!

Zhang Jingdong occasionally gazed at the distant starry sky, sometimes looking at Jiang Lai, feeling increasingly at ease.

To his surprise, during breaks from studying, Jiang Lai would occasionally give him a glance.

Initially, her gaze held only shyness, but later, it even carried a hint of allure.

Zhang Jingdong was delighted, thinking to himself that this girl really had quite the talent for learning; in less than a day, she could already multitask!

Ten minutes later, satisfied with her progress, Zhang Jingdong rewarded her with a large bottle of Life One.

When Jiang Lai returned from the restroom, Zhang Jingdong fondly wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulders and affectionately said, "Jiang Lai, you truly gave me a huge surprise just now!"

Although Jiang Lai was extremely shy, she surprisingly said, "Every time you come to see me from now on, I'll give you a surprise."

"Really?" Zhang Jingdong's heart skipped a beat, "If you say so, then I'll make sure to come back at least once a month!"

Jiang Lai raised her head and stared at him with bright eyes, "That's a promise! No backing out!"

Zhang Jingdong met her gaze, "Of course I won't back out, but... will the surprises you give become increasingly impressive?"

"You..." Jiang Lai gave him a playful glare, "I knew you would push your luck!"

Zhang Jingdong mischievously said, "Jiang Lai, you must understand, if you don't push your luck, it can feel quite frustrating!"

Jiang Lai paused for a few seconds and then seemed to make a big decision, "Alright, if you can manage to come see me once a month for three consecutive months, then on the third month, I will..."

Feeling a bit nervous, Jiang Lai took a deep breath before continuing, "I'll let you push your luck."

Zhang Jingdong was overjoyed, "Great, you said it, I'll definitely keep my promise!"

"But, three months is a bit long, so let's talk about next month's surprise first. Besides reviewing today's lessons, I also want to teach you a session of 'Chest Puncture Virtual Simulation Course.' How does that sound?"

Jiang Lai felt like she had fallen into Zhang Jingdong's trap, but hearing his words, at least he would come see her next month.

Therefore, she suppressed her shyness with joy and pouted, "Alright."

Seeing her agree, Zhang Jingdong happily kissed her cheek, "I knew my sister Jiang Lai is the best to me!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back before the 20th next month!"

Having agreed on the next return date, the sadness of parting dissipated significantly.

For the next hour or so, the two indulged in their fondness for each other.

Close to midnight, Jiang Lai reluctantly saw Zhang Jingdong off at the door.

Zhang Jingdong got into the car, and with Long Yue's swift maneuvering, the car soon disappeared at the village entrance.

On the way, Zhang Jingdong said, "Long'er, don't leave tomorrow just yet. Stay and protect Jiang Lai for a few days, until I pick out suitable bodyguards for her. Then, you can return to Jiangdu after handing over."

Long Yue paused briefly and then nodded, "Okay, boss."

Zhang Jingdong pouted, "At most, 5 days."

"Alright."

"Now, don't you drive faster so we can get back sooner to that?"

Long Yue's initial trace of disappointment instantly turned to elation, "Okay, honey!"

Twenty minutes later, they returned to the hotel.

Once in the room, both switched to study mode.

Zhang Jingdong initially thought that on the first night here, since Long Yue hadn't attended classes for a while, she was already in her best learning state.

But he realized that tonight's Long Yue was truly possessed by the spirit of a scholar.

Her focus and acceptance of knowledge points had significantly improved.

Especially during yoga practice, she managed to master many impressive poses.

Therefore, all the courses Zhang Jingdong taught that night were quite enjoyable.

…

The next morning, since the only direct flight to Jiangdu was at 10 am, Zhang Jingdong and his team got up before 6.

After finishing morning self-study and freshening up, they went to the second-floor western restaurant for breakfast.

Exiting the elevator, Zhang Jingdong thought he might not see Lin Shuwan and her daughter today, but as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw Lin Shuwan from afar.

He quickly walked over to her.

"Wan, this early?"

In fact, Lin Shuwan arrived at breakfast right when it started at 6:30.

Last night, she dreamt of Zhang Jingdong.

The dream was quite odd, and halfway through, she woke up startled and couldn't fall back asleep.

She suddenly remembered that Zhang Jingdong was leaving for Jiangdu today.

Yesterday, because she promised Zhang Jingdong to go to Jiangdu, she called to check the flight schedules and learned that there was only one direct flight to Jiangdu in the morning and afternoon.

She thought Zhang Jingdong would take the morning flight.

Then, she confusedly got up before 6, freshened up, and went downstairs.

She initially planned to walk around downstairs but ended up somehow in the western restaurant.

She poured herself a cup of coffee and drank for a while, wanting to see Zhang Jingdong but afraid to do so.

While she was torn, Zhang Jingdong came over and greeted her.

Seeing it was unavoidable now, Lin Shuwan felt relieved.
