CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 329 SHI YANG’S PLAN_2

Based on his understanding of Shi Yang, she is an arrogant woman. Although she’s not particularly scheming or calculating, she’s had an easy life growing up, pampered by her family, which made her overly capricious.

Li Jing doesn’t exactly dislike women like her, but since she has a poor impression of him, he has no intention of trying to please her.

Shi Yang’s proactive invitation now truly surprised him.

Without hesitating, Li Jing replied to the message, resolutely declining Shi Yang’s invitation.

As soon as he replied, Shi Yang’s message came through again.

The content was still inviting Li Jing to dinner, specially noting that it was her grandfather’s request.

If Li Jing didn’t agree, she wouldn’t be able to explain to her grandfather.

Looking at the message content on his phone, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and replied: "You want to invite me to dinner, I can agree, but I have three conditions."

Shi Yang quickly responded: "What conditions?"

Li Jing directly sent his phone number: "Let’s talk on the phone."

Soon after, Shi Yang’s call came through.

Hearing the crisp female voice on the other end, Li Jing couldn’t help but secretly marvel; not only is Shi Yang beautiful with a perfect waist-to-hip ratio, like a character out of a comic, but her voice is also very pleasant.

It’s just a shame that her straightforward nature, coupled with a princess-like attitude, isn’t very endearing.

Upon hearing her inquire about his conditions, Li Jing didn’t keep her in suspense and said: "There are three conditions in total. First, you have to apologize for your previous attitude towards me."

Shi Yang didn’t hesitate much about this request and immediately agreed: "Okay, I admit my mistake. I acknowledge that my attitude towards you was a bit wrong, and I shouldn’t have said those things I shouldn’t have. For that, I apologize."

Li Jing was a bit surprised, not expecting her to agree so readily.

He could sense that her admission of fault carried a bit of sincerity, indicating she realized she had a problem.

Realizing this, Li Jing thought Shi Yang wasn’t an unreasonable person after all; at least she had a basic sense of right and wrong.

Then, Li Jing said, "Second, you must call me Brother, whether it’s Brother Li, Brother Jing or Brother Li Jing."

Regarding this woman, Li Jing just wanted to curb her overly arrogant nature a bit, which is why he came up with such a condition.

When Shi Yang heard this, she indeed raised her voice immediately: "No way, I absolutely won’t call you Brother!"

Li Jing shrugged indifferently: "Then I won’t go, it’s fine with me, I didn’t want to have dinner with you anyway."

Saying this, he started to hang up, but the other party hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"

Li Jing’s lips slightly curled upwards, picking up the phone to ask: "What? Are you willing to call me Brother now?"

From the voice on the phone, it seemed Shi Yang was gnashing her teeth, squeezing out her words: "Okay, I can call you Brother, but only for today, don’t push it."

Li Jing only wanted to tame Shi Yang’s temperament a little; he didn’t mind how long she would call him that.

After this meeting, perhaps they might never cross paths again.

So, after agreeing, Li Jing deliberately said: "Alright, but call me that first now."

"You?!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang was obviously a bit angry, staying silent for quite a while.

While Li Jing pretended to be impatient, saying: "What, don’t want to call me? Then I’ll hang up."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang finally spoke: "Alright, alright! Wait, I’ll call."

Then, after a long struggle, she reluctantly said: "Li Jing... Brother."

Hearing her voice, Li Jing smiled, sensing those words were squeezed out through her teeth.

"Remember, it’s not just this once; throughout the meal, you have to call me that, understood?"

Shi Yang seemed about to grind her molars into powder, grudgingly saying: "I got it."

After saying this, Shi Yang quickly urged: "What else? What’s the third condition, hurry up and say it."

Li Jing, however, replied leisurely: "The third condition is quite simple. I really care about my mood when I eat; if I’m in a bad mood, I lose my appetite.

So during our meal, you can’t show a sullen face; you have to keep smiling throughout, is this unreasonable?

After all, no one wants to eat facing a debt collector-like expression."

Upon hearing this condition, Shi Yang originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing Li Jing’s explanation, she felt he was making sense.

She stayed silent for a few seconds and finally said: "Alright, I’ll agree. Can you come out now?"

Li Jing chuckled: "I can, but call me once more."

Shi Yang instantly roared angrily: "Don’t push it!"

Li Jing shrugged: "You agreed to this, I’m not deliberately making it hard for you. Are you regretting it, or planning to not call me at all?"

Shi Yang paused, stayed silent for two seconds, gnashing her teeth before speaking again: "Li Jing Brother, I am inviting you out for dinner, okay?"

Only then did Li Jing nod in satisfaction, saying: "Alright, send me the address and time, I’ll tidy up and come over then."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang hurriedly hung up the phone, as if even a single extra word with Li Jing would cause her immense pain.

Soon, Li Jing received Shi Yang’s location and schedule information on his phone.

Shi Yang had booked dinner at a high-end restaurant; previously, Li Jing and Zeng Chao had wanted to go to this restaurant, but the need for advance booking and the queue made it unfeasible, so now he could finally try the delicacies there.

In the restaurant’s luxurious private room, Shi Yang was sitting across from a girl.

Shi Yang was still dressed fashionably and beautifully, with her comic-like figure perfectly on display, particularly her slim and resilient waist which drew attention.

The girl beside her, though not as strikingly built, dressed more daringly than Shi Yang, with bolder makeup.

Shi Yang looked at the girl and said apologetically: "Yingying, sorry for the trouble today."

Zhou Yingying waved her hand nonchalantly, saying: "What’s this, your business is my business. Flirting with men is my forte.

Rest assured, as long as they’re sleazy guys and perverts, they’re bound to reveal their true colors before me.

You just want me to deliberately tempt him, right? That’s easy, no man has resisted my charm yet!"

She added a flirtatious wink, confidently saying: "He’s bound to show his true self, just watch me."

She intentionally adjusted her neckline lower, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.

Seeing this, Shi Yang hurriedly urged: "Yingying, you don’t need to make such a big sacrifice, and this outfit’s too revealing, I feel a bit bad."

Zhou Yingying replied disdainfully: "What’s this, when I used to hit the night scene, I wore even more outrageous clothes.

Yangyang, you’re just too conservative usually; many girls now dress like this. Besides, with your figure, you should show it off boldly, so more men will like you."

Shi Yang quickly shook her head: "I don’t need many men to like me, I just want to focus on my photography."

Zhou Yingying retorted: "You can’t spend your life with your camera; you’ll have to find a man eventually.

You should learn from me how to attract men, to find a better man."

Shi Yang shook her head again, having no interest in Zhou Yingying’s philosophy.

However, she was still a bit nervous about the upcoming task and said: "Yingying, don’t go too hard, just when needed.

If he shows his true colors, and I secretly take a few photos, like holding his hand briefly, and then show them to my grandpa, he’ll know what kind of person he is."

Zhou Yingying patted her chest to assure: "Leave this to me! Not just hand-holding, I’ll be sure to tempt him into a daze, just wait and see."

Seeing Zhou Yingying so confident, Shi Yang felt a mix of worry and nerves, fearing she might overdo it.

But since she invited her for help, Shi Yang felt she couldn’t say much, only gently saying thank you: "If it works out, I’ll give you two bags as a reward, both limited edition."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingying’s eyes lit up like twinkling stars, her whole body filled with excitement.

She clasped Shi Yang’s arm, her face full of smiles, teasingly saying: "Yangyang, just for those two limited edition bags, I’ll surely handle this perfectly and ensure success! Rest assured!"
