I refuse a marriage with a rich family unless my best friend joins me.

Chapter 18 My Mouth is Numb
Ignoring the people calling him from behind and not hearing their noisy voices, Jiang Jingcheng quickened his pace and soon left the villa.

After driving away from the Jiang family for a long distance, Jiang Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without being able to see or hear, his mood naturally improved.

Not long after arriving at the store, Jiang Jingcheng received a message from Song Huaijing.

Song Huaijing didn't show how tired he was in front of Jiang Jingcheng yesterday, but that doesn't mean he wasn't tired.

In addition to the jet lag, Song Huaijing slept a little longer than usual.

After waking up and checking the time on his phone, he saw the message Jiang Jingcheng sent him, and Song Huaijing quickly replied to her.

"Sorry, I just woke up and saw the news."

Jiang Jingcheng's message was sent an hour ago. In order to avoid the misunderstanding at the beginning, Song Huaijing felt that he should explain.

But after finishing the explanation, Song Huaijing was a little at a loss for words and didn't know what to say next.

There is no shortage of women who admire Song Huaijing, but when it comes to love, Song Huaijing has only had one relationship.

Later, because the woman was too clingy and really delayed his work, there was no substantial progress in just half a month, and it ended just like that.

Now facing Jiang Jingcheng, Song Huaijing is a little unsure about how to get along with her.

Jiang Jingcheng gave him a different feeling. She was not the kind of woman who could be kept casually by his side as a friend. Song Huaijing always felt that he should be more cautious.

But he had too little experience, and apart from eating and shopping, he couldn't think of any innovative ways to date.

Song Huaijing was just thinking about it when Jiang Jingcheng replied, "Good morning, I'm already at the store."

He remembered that although today was not a working day, Jiang Jingcheng's coffee shop was still open as usual.

However, based on the previous two situations, her store should have enough staff, so if she has a date, it shouldn't be delayed.

Before Song Huaijing asked, Jiang Jingcheng took the lead and asked, "Today is Saturday, are you still busy with work?"

"I have an appointment in the afternoon, but nothing to do in the morning."

"We can have lunch together at noon. Is it convenient for you?" Song Huaijing asked.

"Sure!" Jiang Jingcheng said.

Song Huaijing smiled lightly, "Then I'll pick you up at the store at noon."

Jiang Jingcheng then sent a very cute emoticon package.

Inside the coffee shop.

It was still early and the store was not busy, so Jiang Jingcheng didn't need to help, so he just lay aside and played with his cell phone.

The girl who worked part-time in the store saw Jiang Jingcheng smiling silly, walked up to him, and suddenly asked, "Young boss, are you thinking about love so early in the morning?"

Jiang Jingcheng was startled. He turned around and saw that it was the other person. He reached out and hit him, "You scared me!"

"It's you, little boss, who was too absorbed in the subject. Don't blame me." Zhou Ying smiled foolishly and secretly looked at Jiang Jingcheng's phone. "Little boss, is there something wrong?"

Jiang Jingcheng put down his phone and said, "Get out of the way!"

Zhou Ying looked as if she saw through everything but refused to say anything, and she turned and left. Jiang Jingcheng kept staring at her until she walked away, then he took out his phone and took a look at it, with a faint smile on his face.

As noon approached, more and more people came into the store, and Jiang Jingcheng also started to help with the cashier.

When Song Huaijing arrived, he saw Jiang Jingcheng helping with the cashier in the store.

Because there were so many people around, she didn't notice him. Seeing Jiang Jingcheng talking to the guests with a sweet smile on her face, Song Huaijing was immediately mesmerized. She seemed to be always so happy, always with such a sweet smile on her face.

Song Huaijing stared at him for a while, and Jiang Jingcheng finally noticed him. At that moment, Jiang Jingcheng was filled with surprise.

The smile on her face was the same as before, but the feeling was different. Song Huaijing could feel it.

There were still people waiting to order, and Jiang Jingcheng was a little uncomfortable leaving for a moment, so Song Huaijing said gently, "I'll wait for you over there."

"I'm fast." Jiang Jingcheng said.

Then Song Huaijing went aside and Jiang Jingcheng continued to help the customers take orders.

On the other side, Song Huaijing, who was waiting for Jiang Jingcheng, was always looking at Jiang Jingcheng.

After just a few minutes of waiting, Jiang Jingcheng had finished. She quickly called another clerk to replace her, and then went to find Song Huaijing.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Jingcheng said apologetically, "There will be more people in the store during holidays."

Song Huaijing shook his head. "It's okay. Can you leave now?"

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go get my bag." Jiang Jingcheng said and quickly turned around and walked towards the back of the coffee shop.

Song Huaijing was waiting there, and after a while, Jiang Jingcheng came out.

The two left the coffee shop together.

Song Huaijing chose the restaurant for today. It is a private restaurant. "I don't know your taste, so I chose one that I think is okay."

Song Huaijing asked Jiang Jingcheng, but Jiang Jingcheng said that he was fine and could eat any cuisine.

"Okay." Jiang Jingcheng nodded. She was really not picky about food. At most, she would eat less if she felt it didn't taste good.

The lunch went smoothly. The two chatted while eating, and nothing unusual happened.

After finishing their meal, the two came out of the store. It was almost time, so Song Huaijing asked, "Should I take you home or back to the store?"

"Go back to the store." Jiang Jingcheng usually wouldn't stay at the Jiang family's.

Song Huaijing sent Jiang Jingcheng back, but just before getting off the car, Song Huaijing pulled Jiang Jingcheng into his arms.

Jiang Jingcheng doesn't like being passive, but when it comes to kissing, she can only accept it passively, and even needs Song Huaijing to remind her to breathe.

By the time Song Huaijing stopped, Jiang Jingcheng felt his lips were numb.

Looking at Jiang Jingcheng's dazed look, Song Huaijing didn't say anything, but just touched her head with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Jingcheng's heartbeat hadn't calmed down until he got off the car and returned to the coffee shop.

~
In the afternoon, Song Huaijing met with several business partners and played two rounds of golf with them.

I had dinner with them in the evening, then declined their subsequent activities and asked the driver to take me to the night.

When Song Huaijing arrived, the box was already filled with smoke and it was obvious that they had been playing for quite a while.

Zhuang Yan was singing at the top of his lungs. When he saw that the person who came in was Song Huaijing, he immediately stuffed the microphone into the hands of the woman next to him, then stood up and greeted Song Huaijing.

"Brother!" Zhuang Yan shouted loudly. His voice was so loud that even though the box was very noisy, people around him could still hear his voice.

　My dear friends, please recommend me, give me a monthly ticket, and collect it!
