Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?-Chapter 1069 - 423: Lin Shuwan Takes the Initiative!

Instantly regaining her usual elegance and grace, she turned to look at Zhang Jingdong.

"Morning!"

Zhang Jingdong glanced around, then asked, "Where's Qiqi?"

Lin Shuwan's usually fair and delicate face had a faint flush, and she pretended to be calm, "We were out all day yesterday, she's exhausted and doesn't want to come down… I'll pack some breakfast and bring it up to her later."

Someone else might not notice anything amiss in her words, but Zhang Jingdong was quite experienced. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

When he heard this, he felt something wasn't right, and seeing Lin Shuwan's blushing face, he instantly realized something.

He then said directly, "Wan, since Qiqi is exhausted, you must not be in a hurry to go out today, so there's no need to pack breakfast for her this early, right?"

Lin Shuwan clearly didn't expect Zhang Jingdong to say this and was caught off-guard, freezing in place for a moment.

Zhang Jingdong saw this, and continued, "Wan... you wouldn't have come specifically to see me off, would you?"

Lin Shuwan finally reacted and said hurriedly, "I... I just woke up early today and went for a walk downstairs… Oh, you're leaving today, so be careful on the road."

Zhang Jingdong was now completely convinced she was there to see him off, and he immediately sat opposite her.

Yesterday during breakfast, Lin Shuwan already felt that Zhang Jingdong was quite thick-skinned, but she hadn't expected it to be this thick.

The blush on her face deepened significantly, "Aren't you in a hurry? Go have your breakfast!"

Zhang Jingdong pouted, "I can go get something, but you're not allowed to leave!"

His last sentence was quite ambiguous, and Lin Shuwan was a bit overwhelmed.

But she knew if she didn't agree, he might actually not eat, which would delay his trip.

So she reluctantly said, "… Go ahead, I… I haven't finished my coffee yet."

Seeing her reluctant agreement, Zhang Jingdong smiled, then got up swiftly to get a bunch of food and drinks, finally sitting back opposite Lin Shuwan.

Zhang Jingdong picked up his coffee cup, sipping it while intently gazing at Lin Shuwan.

At first, Lin Shuwan could meet his gaze, but as Zhang Jingdong's stare became increasingly intense, she quietly looked away.

Zhang Jingdong then asked, "Wan, since I'm now Qiqi's godfather, I'd like to know what happened to her father."

Lin Shuwan hesitated for at least half a minute before replying, "He... he's a businessman. Five years ago, he went to Zambia in Africa for a project, got infected with a severe illness, and never came back."

Although there was some sorrow in her eyes, there was also a hint of resentment, so Zhang Jingdong asked, "Were you two happy back then?"

Lin Shuwan pursed her lips, seeming somewhat relieved, "Actually, the year before he went to Africa, we had already divorced."

"Why?"

Lin Shuwan glanced at the lobby on the first floor, then sighed, "Before his business took off, he had a great personality, but once his company started to do well, he seemed like a completely different person."

"Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked for a divorce."

Zhang Jingdong nodded, "I see. Most men indeed are like that, isn't there a saying, a man's temper grows exponentially with his wealth."

Lin Shuwan suddenly asked proactively for the first time, "Are you that kind of man too?"

Zhang Jingdong shrugged with a smile, "Indeed, when my wealth soared, my temper also grew for a while."

"But my temper was only confined to the company. When it comes to women, especially someone as gentle and charming as you, I've always been very caring and loving."

"So, I bet a man like you never lacks women around, right?"

Zhang Jingdong didn't expect Lin Shuwan to suddenly turn so sharp, but thanks to his recent frequent interactions with various top beauties, he could now remain unperturbed and respond adeptly.

He then said, "Wan, you're making assumptions. Although I often meet many beauties, it's precisely because I've seen so many that I realize most are just pretty on the outside, what's behind their beauty is usually quite disappointing."

"And someone like you, who is not only beautiful, but also graceful, mature, and so elegant, I've never met anyone like you before."

Even though she was complimented, Lin Shuwan wasn't pleased at all. She even said, "If you put it that way, then I wouldn't dare take Qiqi to Jiangdu."

"Why?"

"Why do you think?"

Zhang Jingdong burst into laughter because Lin Shuwan finally showed her most charming side.

He leaned back in his chair, looked at her intently for about ten seconds, and then said, "Wan, I think the opposite is true. You're actually ready to go to Jiangdu."

"Why do you think that?"

Zhang Jingdong casually plucked a grape from his plate and popped it into his mouth, "Because men as interesting as I am are too rare. You've finally met one, how could you let him go easily?"

Lin Shuwan shook her head playfully, "You're really thick-skinned, aren't you? Sorry, you're thinking too much!"

"Then why did you agree for Qiqi to recognize me as her godfather?"

Lin Shuwan insisted, "It's simple, it's because you really look a lot like her dad, and I wanted Qiqi to have some comfort."
