CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: MAKING HER A TRUE PRINCESS (DEAR FANS, PLEASE FOLLOW)

The next day was Monday.

At 6:30 in the morning.

Zhang Jingdong suddenly felt his nose tickle in his sleep, sniffed heavily, and smelled a faint fragrance.

Then, without warning, he reached out and, sure enough, touched something soft.

"Humph... So you were already awake!"

Only then did Zhang Jingdong open his eyes, and what he saw was An Lu, both shy and annoyed.

Zhang Jingdong’s dream last night had been a bit risqué and, along with his abundant energy this early morning, he immediately jumped up, pounced like a hungry tiger, and started affectionately hugging and kissing An Lu.

An Lu hastily whispered for mercy, "Don’t... don’t... Manman is in the living room!"

Zhang Jingdong deliberately said loudly, "Ignore her! She already knows what kind of person I am!"

Zhang Jingdong indulged himself for quite a while before finally letting go of An Lu contentedly.

An Lu gave him a sideways glance, then straightened up her clothes and said sweetly, "Hurry up and wash up, breakfast is ready!"

Zhang Jingdong sighed and said, "Living with a wife is awesome. Not only do I get milk in the early morning, but also a proper breakfast!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grasp An Lu’s fragrant shoulders, but the nimble girl reacted in time and quickly fled the room.

Zhang Jingdong immediately laughed, then swaggered out of the room like a hooligan.

After washing up in the bathroom, he came to the living room.

By this time, breakfast had been laid out on the dining table.

Su Man indignantly said, "You’re such a slacker, it’s Monday for crying out loud, and you’re only getting up almost at 7 o’clock!"

Zhang Jingdong grabbed a bun and retorted directly, "You’re diligent enough, yet after all these years, you can’t afford a house, nor have you found a boyfriend who can buy one for you."

"Ah, saying your life’s been a waste might be a bit too direct. Let’s put it this way, you must have hard luck!"

Su Man was nearly choked by Zhang Jingdong’s words, pausing for a full three seconds before responding bitterly, "You... who are you calling unlucky! I..."

Zhang Jingdong interrupted her, "No talking while eating, if you keep talking, when I see your landlord tonight, I might just buy up your place too."

"From then on, I’ll be your landlord, and I’ll hike your rent to 5000 yuan a month. If you don’t like it, I’ll rent it to someone else for 500 yuan a month tomorrow!"

"You..."

Su Man was about to accuse Zhang Jingdong of bragging, but then she suddenly realized he might seriously do it, so she dared not speak further.

After that, Zhang Jingdong finished his breakfast with great satisfaction, then waited for An Lu to finish cleaning up, and they went downstairs together to send her to her office.

An Lu was enjoying her boyfriend sending her to work for the first time and was cheerful all the way.

In the parking lot, the two kissed for a good five minutes before An Lu reluctantly got out of the car.

And as she went up the steps, she instantly turned back into the aloof bank teller she was before.

After leaving the bank, Zhang Jingdong returned to the university.

To avoid being late, he drove directly under the classroom building.

As he walked into the classroom, it immediately caused a stir.

At that moment, Wang Chao from his class exclaimed loudly, "Boss Zhang, you run such a big restaurant and you still come to classes personally, that’s really admirable!"

At this, Lu Yuan chimed in, "What do you know, Brother Dong does not forget his student nature even after becoming rich and successful, that’s called vision!"

Their flattery immediately aroused the curiosity of the classmates around, prompting some to ask them about it.

Then, Wang Tao from Class Two said with a shocked expression, "Zhang Jingdong, is that Hunan cuisine restaurant near the school gate really yours?"

Zhang Jingdong paused for a second before nodding, "Yes."

Once these words were spoken, the whole classroom exploded with excitement.

Although many of them had not been to the restaurant, quite a few had either seen Zhang Jingdong’s flyers or heard from others how delicious the food was, and they thought of trying it someday.

They never imagined that the owner of the restaurant was none other than Zhang Jingdong!

And out of everyone, Liu Meng had the most complex emotions.

First, she was puzzled.

When I rejected Zhang Jingdong’s confession, he was just an ordinary guy.

Yet, in just over ten days, he had become the owner of such a large restaurant.

Could it be that he had been pretending all along to be a second-generation rich kid, and only decided to reveal his true colors after I rejected him?

And now, he even seems to have become more handsome!

It’s not just a little bit either but a very obvious transformation!

Could it be that because he became a boss, he gained an aura about him that makes me feel this way?

Regret was the second feeling.

If I hadn’t rejected him back then, I would be the restaurant owner’s wife now!

Then the looks my roommates are giving me wouldn’t be of sympathy, but of envy!

Thinking of this, Liu Meng subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Jingdong.

She wished so much that Zhang Jingdong would look at her again, and she would definitely give him the most tender gaze.

She would even take the initiative to call him tonight and confess to him!

Unfortunately, Zhang Jingdong hadn’t glanced her way at all.

...

Zhang Jingdong sat through two classes and went to his own restaurant for lunch, then took a nap in the office.

After one o’clock, he drove to McDonald’s.

After waiting about five minutes, Li Yiran appeared, walking elegantly into his field of vision.

Today she wore a green checkered dress, looking fresh and sexy. No, the word should be ’innocently sensual’.

But Zhang Jingdong also noticed something—this girl seemed to be wearing only old clothes.

Although these clothes won bonus points on her, they gave her the air of a princess who had fallen amongst the commoners.

Zhang Jingdong secretly resolved to make her a true princess starting today.

He then honked the car horn.

Li Yiran jumped at the sound of the horn and instinctively moved a few steps to the side.

But she realized she hadn’t been in the way of the car at all, yet the car did not move.

At that moment, the driver’s side window slowly lowered, and Zhang Jingdong’s head appeared: "Get in!"

Li Yiran hesitated for a moment, then got into the car.

Zhang Jingdong operated the vehicle, and soon they disappeared from the spot.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Galaxy Mall.

Inside, Zhang Jingdong noticed Li Yiran’s hesitant look, so he casually said, "Today’s still about the culinary journey, but the place we’re going to is a bit upscale, so we need to get you a few uniforms!"

Li Yiran, hearing it was for buying her work clothes, still felt some reluctance but soon accepted the idea.

Then Zhang Jingdong took her straight to Givenchy.

Although Li Yiran had never been here before, she could tell from the luxury of the counter that the clothes here were definitely not cheap.

So, after a moment’s hesitation, she quietly nudged Zhang Jingdong’s arm: "Isn’t this... too expensive?"

Zhang Jingdong had anticipated she might say this and had a response ready: "No matter how expensive, they’re just work clothes. You just need to wear them!"

Seeing his determined attitude, Li Yiran complied and said no more.

Next, Zhang Jingdong efficiently picked out three dresses for her and handed them over: "Go try them on."

When Li Yiran came out in the first classic Givenchy little black dress, Zhang Jingdong was instantly stunned!

No exaggeration, in terms of star quality, purely on the basis of beauty and figure, Li Yiran at that moment outshone a young Audrey Hepburn!

And Li Yiran herself was also amazed by her own reflection in the mirror, a rare hint of joy appearing on her lips.

Zhang Jingdong noticed this and then commented, "Hmm, not bad... go try on the other two!"

Li Yiran nodded and returned to the fitting room.
