48: Chapter 48 The Lady's Appointment

A wonderful week has begun again.

However, when Du Ming and Jiang Yu saw Su Nange, they both felt a bit unnatural.

Was it funny? It was indeed a bit funny.

But his display of wealth was truly grand.

To be able to get a high-end nightclub like Luna Rave to send complimentary drinks.

And to send a bottle of Louis XIII worth 40,000 yuan at that.

Even now, the two of them dared not imagine what kind of background Su Nange actually had.

However, when Ding Quxiao saw Su Nange, she couldn't bring herself to smile.

Although she still kept a straight face today, her expression was clearly hesitant.

It seemed like she had something she wanted to talk to Su Nange about.

Su Nange pretended that nothing had happened. Anyway, if he had lost face, so be it. Thinking about it from another angle, if the young miss wanted him to make a fool of himself, she had to spend so much money, right?

It's just that if those 40,000 yuan had been given directly to him, how great that would have been.

Even if he was fed bananas by the young miss, he would just eat them; they could provide Vitamin C and various dietary fibers.

Su Nange sat down at his workstation, opened his computer, and prepared to write some risk control plans for the tender documents in advance.

But a message popped up in his WeChat chat box.

"Let's have lunch together! Still at that same restaurant from last time."

Su Nange smiled at the screen; this was the first time the Lady had taken the initiative to contact him.

Why did the morning pass so slowly? Su Nange was already impatient and couldn't wait to have lunch with the Lady.

Just past 11 o'clock, Su Nange ran out early.

He arrived at the restaurant first, took out 2,000 yuan, and slapped it directly onto the front desk.

"I need a private room, just for two people. Don't need too many dishes, but they should be of high quality."

Having such a big order at noon, the boss was naturally eager to rush off and give instructions.

And since Su Nange could earn 50,000 yuan a month from the Lady, spending this little bit of money to treat her to a good meal was nothing.

Dressed in Prada, Ding Quxiao was very elegant. Her long hair was pinned up at the back of her head with an expensive claw clip.

A portion of her lower legs was exposed, which was quite alluring.

Vertical-striped velvet, horizontal-striped core-spun silk.

But Su Nange knew the weaving technique Ding Quxiao was wearing; it was that brand starting with "Wo" that started at 200 yuan.

Because Su Nange had also once gritted his teeth and spent a large sum of money to buy them for Ye Tingting. Such beautiful legs shouldn't be wronged by some off-brand product.

Seeing that Su Nange had arrived early to set things up, Ding Quxiao thought to herself that this guy was quite tactful. Some things were indeed difficult to say if they weren't in a private space.

The weather had turned cold, so Su Nange ordered a pot of hot Pu'er tea and poured a cup for Sister Ding.

On the table were leopard coral grouper, lobster soup, stone-grilled Wagyu beef, stir-fried scallops, bamboo fungus with fish maw, roasted pigeon legs, and individual servings of papaya with snow frog.

Ding Quxiao was puzzled; what was this guy trying to do?

However, Su Nange spoke first: "Sister Ding, you helped me last time, so this meal is on me. By the way, I also have a favor to ask of you!"

Originally, Ding Quxiao had wanted to probe what exactly this guy had seen on Saturday night.

If this guy had any photos or videos in his hands, it would be hard to explain if her husband, Li Runfa, found out.

But since Su Nange said he had a favor to ask, she felt a little more at ease.

Ding Quxiao asked: "If you have something to say, just say it; there's no need to make such a big fuss. Your salary isn't high, so I'll pay."

Su Nange waved his hand; he couldn't tell her that Li Runfa was also paying his salary.

However, he didn't know if she would still have the appetite to eat once she found out Li Runfa was harassing Ye Tingting.

Su Nange said in a relaxed tone: "Sister Ding, don't worry, I earn decent money from my side jobs. I'm working here just to prove something."

Ding Quxiao didn't stand on ceremony with him. It was clear that since Su Nange could drive that kind of car, his financial situation shouldn't be bad.

Therefore, Ding Quxiao's expression was rarely not so cold: "Then tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Su Nange said: "Sister Ding, you often go to the Qianjiang Building to shop, right? You must be a member there, right?"

Ding Quxiao nodded. Almost all her consumption was there, and she certainly spent over a million a year. At this level, she was already at the top tier of their membership.

Su Nange smiled somewhat embarrassedly and scratched his head: "It's like this, Sister Ding, I'm pursuing a girl. I want to buy her some skincare products or something. But as a man, I don't understand these things."

Before he could finish, Ding Quxiao replied: "I get what you mean. I'll help you pick some out!"

Su Nange had just mentioned it casually; if he wanted to get information out of her, he had to make her relax first.

As expected, as a noblewoman in her forties—a beautiful one at that—Ding Quxiao surely paid great attention to her daily skincare.

So when it came to skincare, Sister Ding was like an expert, explaining every brand, big or small, with great authority.

Su Nange saw a different side of Ding Quxiao; once she started talking, she was actually quite approachable.

Ding Quxiao concluded: "This actually depends on each person's skin condition to choose the most suitable products. It's not necessarily the case that the more expensive, the better."

"Show me her photo, and I'll help you choose based on her condition."

Su Nange was in a bind now. What to do? If he didn't show it, wouldn't he seem too fake? If he did show it, what if there was a misunderstanding?

Su Nange tremblingly picked up his phone. His first instinct was to choose Su Yao. However, this girl's Moments feed was basically all artsy vibes.

There were no photos at all.

With no other choice, Su Nange could only flip through Ye Tingting's photos.

It was then that he realized she hadn't deleted him. However, it only showed three days' worth of content. Many of their previous photos together were no longer visible.

Su Nange suddenly wanted to cry.

Ding Quxiao asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Su Nange shook his head. "I'm just too excited. Every time I see her, I get very excited."

After saying that, he handed over his phone. If they weren't on Moments, didn't he have them on his own phone?

When Ding Quxiao saw the photo of Ye Tingting and Su Nange, her expression was slightly surprised.

She exclaimed: "Your girlfriend is very beautiful."

Su Nange wanted to cry but had no tears; he somewhat regretted opening this topic.

Girlfriend? He wasn't even sure himself. Calling her an ex-girlfriend was fine, but calling her his current girlfriend wasn't entirely wrong either. What was worse was that he had even said he was currently pursuing her.

This was simply past tense, present tense, and future tense all appearing in one person.

Su Nange felt it was simply torture. Curiosity killed the cat! He hadn't expected that he would be the one hurt first.

Ding Quxiao, however, was looking at Ye Tingting's photo and didn't pay attention to Su Nange.

Ding Quxiao sighed inwardly; being young was truly great. That vibrant look, that smile—it was truly infectious.

Once upon a time, she had been young too. She had to admit that the girl in the photo looked thirty percent like her.

Both had oval faces, clear, watery eyes, and bright, flowing gazes.

Just through the photo, Ding Quxiao subconsciously developed a good impression of Ye Tingting.

She said first: "Your girlfriend's skin condition is very good. She doesn't need those highly nourishing products. Something like L'Occitane would be more suitable."

"I happen to have a set at home that I haven't used. I'll give it to you next time."

"Also, your girlfriend is really beautiful; you must cherish her well."

Su Nange was already lost in memories at this moment, and he said with a mournful face: "She is not my girlfriend anymore!"

Ding Quxiao didn't hear clearly and said angrily: "You brat! If you don't treat her well, would she agree to be your girlfriend?"

"Look at you, fooling around all day long. If it were me, I wouldn't agree to be with you either!"

Su Nange: "Huh? What did she just say?"

Ding Quxiao was like a person with life experience at this moment, or even more like a mother.

She hoped Su Nange would put in some effort and win over this girl who resembled her a bit.

Ding Quxiao said earnestly: "Su Nange, for you boys to win a woman's heart, it's said to be difficult, but in reality, it's not."

"You just need to let her feel your sincerity. Whether your appearance is outstanding or your conditions are affluent, neither is the most critical factor!"

"You must ask yourself properly if you really will treat her well for a lifetime, and not just be temporarily coveting her beauty."

Su Nange frowned. I'm not drinking this toxic chicken soup.

You yourself are unhappy in your marriage, playing your own games, yet you have the nerve to tell me these things.

Ding Quxiao frowned: "What, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Su Nange hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, Sister Ding is right. Don't worry, I will definitely treat her well. You know what kind of person I am, don't you?"

Ding Quxiao: "Hmph, I don't!"

Su Nange: "You're forcing me, aren't you? In a moment, I'll slap the videos and photos right in front of you."

"Lady, you wouldn't want your husband to see these, would you?"
