Deliberately Approaching
Chapter 277: Nanfeng Tea Garden

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Nanfeng Tea Garden

Lili had no choice but to leave with understanding.

The little episode of internal competition for customers thus came to an abrupt end.

Leng Lingxiao was munching on melon seeds the whole time without uttering a word.

My Little Tangtang sure hates evil, making clear distinctions about who’s who.

This guy really hasn’t changed a bit!

Concerning the sales assistant’s name, Leng Lingxiao hadn’t paid attention at all, but Tang Xiaowan had taken note of it.

"Tangtang, hurry up, I’m still waiting to see!" Leng Lingxiao smiled with squinted eyes, signaling Tang Xiaowan to quickly put on the earrings.

With that, Tang Xiaowan chuckled innocently and settled onto the chair.

In fact, she didn’t like earrings that much, finding them too inconvenient to wear. But now, irritated by the tussle for the customer, she willingly accepted Leng Lingxiao’s suggestion and decisively tried them on.

A woman’s beauty needs a man’s appreciation.

Leng Lingxiao watched, fascinated, nodding continuously, "Not bad, very beautiful, let’s go with these!"

"Mm, as long as you like it, since I’m wearing them for you. Though... they are quite pretty, they’re just too luxurious," Tang Xiaowan pouted.

"Wearing them for me? I’m truly honored!"

Leng Lingxiao watched with a smile in his eyes, feeling a warmth rush to his heart, and he couldn’t help but think of the phrase, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

His Little Tangtang was finally catching on!

The earrings were a limited edition, exquisitely designed. And right beside where they had been placed, there was a matching necklace, a bracelet, and an exceptionally eye-catching Flower Ring, also luxuries in their own right.

Naturally, Leng Lingxiao saw them too.

He then gave the sales assistant a look, and subsequently turned to Tang Xiaowan, who was looking at herself in the mirror.

"Tangtang, I’m a bit thirsty, could you get me a bottle of mineral water? The cooler in the rest area has some, the chilled kind."

"Oh, sure, I’ll go get it now."

Tang Xiaowan smiled and nodded, then turned to leave the jewelry area.

Although she was full of doubts, she didn’t ask any questions.

In an instant, Leng Lingxiao quickly took out a bank card from his wallet, handed it to the sales assistant, and told her the password.

"Make it quick, I’ll take everything."

The sales assistant, understanding what he meant, swiftly picked out the necklace, bracelet, and ring, placing them on the black velvet tray, then walked away.

The whole process took less than a minute.

When it comes to commission, what can’t be overcome?

At this moment, Tang Xiaowan came back with the water to see Leng Lingxiao standing there with a silly grin and asked curiously, "Huahua, what are you laughing at?"

Leng Lingxiao quickly took the mineral water, laughing, "Our rings seem to be ready."

"Wow, really? Let’s go check them out."

And so, Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan ended up wearing couple’s rings engraved with each other’s names, one Tangtang, the other Huahua.

When they held their hands together side by side, their eyes twinkled with happiness.

During this process, the sales assistant Fangfang, with the store manager’s assistance, had managed to carefully package those luxurious pieces of jewelry into gift boxes.

Just like that, a large sale was secured.

All the jewelry was originally supposed to be packed separately, but in order not to let Tang Xiaowan catch on, they ended up placing all the pieces into a single multifunctional gift box.

"Sir, please... sign."

Leng Lingxiao took advantage of Tang Xiaowan being occupied with admiring the rings, swiftly signed the receipt, and retrieved his card.

Just as he finished, Tang Xiaowan turned around, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "How much?"

"Don’t worry about it, just enjoy it."

"Oh, okay, but I should at least know..."

"It’s getting late, let’s go, we still need to pick out a gift for grandma."

"Oh, right, right, right."

Thus, sales assistant Fangfang, holding the gift bag respectfully, followed behind them to the store entrance and handed it over to the bodyguards.

"Please take care, and welcome back again."

A ninety-degree bow couldn’t convey the clerk’s excitement at that moment.

That was an entire expensive set of diamond jewelry.

Tang Xiaowan naturally didn’t notice anything unusual, since they had just purchased couple rings and earrings, thinking the two shopping bags handed to the bodyguard were just empty gift boxes.

"Fangfang, you really are something," Lili said with barely suppressed irritation. "But be careful not to get indigestion and have a stomachache tonight."

The more Lili thought about it, the angrier she felt, believing Fangfang was too selfish to enjoy such a big sale all by herself, showing no team spirit at all—yet she forgot about her own shameful behavior when she had sniped the sale.

"Thanks for your concern, but my stomach is very strong!"

Fangfang dropped this remark and went back to her tasks. By not reporting Lili’s interception to the manager, she had already gone beyond the call of duty.

For Tang Xiaowan’s thoughtfulness, she felt truly grateful and silently took it to heart.

...

Third floor, VIP lounge.

Fifteen minutes ago, Li Zishen had just shaken off the persistent reporters when he received a report from Chen Xin, saying Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan were also at the mall, currently on the first floor at Wanhua Jewelry selecting jewelry.

Then, he witnessed it with his own eyes.

The two of them, fingers interlocked, chatting and laughing, drove him mad with jealousy, making him want to pull the power switch.

"Brother Shen, someone must have deliberately leaked your visit to the mall, otherwise those reporters couldn’t have arrived so coincidentally!"

"It doesn’t matter, consider it free publicity."

"What about Lady Tang..."

"Let her be, we can talk at the evening reception, it’s not too late."

"Yes, I’ll go arrange that now."

With that, Chen Xin quickly left the lounge, heading to the general manager’s office.

The remaining four bodyguards stood watch like hawks, their job to prevent anyone else from approaching Li Zishen and to avoid all disturbances.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaowan and her group, having finished choosing gifts, met up with Tang Mei and Wang Jinhui.

"There’s a good restaurant nearby."

"Let’s go back instead, the food at home can’t be compared with outside meals." Tang Mei turned to Wang Jinhui, answering with a smile.

"Okay, as you wish."

Neither Tang Xiaowan nor Leng Lingxiao showed any reaction to this suggestion, as they were still basking in the joy of their blissful moment.

Hand in hand, eyes locked.

Seeing the pair so intimate, Tang Mei was filled with contentment.

Wang Jinhui, noticing Tang Mei’s good mood, seized the opportunity to ask, "About the charity reception hosted by the Jiang Family tonight, shall we go together..."

"No, it’s too noisy."

"Oh, you’re right, it’s quite noisy... how about I accompany you to the tea garden in the Southern Suburb? It’s peaceful there, with good air."

"Southern Suburb? Nanfeng Tea Garden?"

"Yes, I’ve just taken it over this spring."

At this, Tang Mei’s eyebrows suddenly knitted together but quickly relaxed back to normal.

No one noticed this slight change except Wang Jinhui, who saw it and the corner of his determined mouth couldn’t help but curve into a slight smile.

Still denying it, but it’s clearly you.

Jiang Ruowan! You are the only daughter of Jiang Yaozong... Jiang Ruowan, it’s you, Tang Canshan is you, Mrs. Li is you, all those women... they’re all you.

Ah, you’ve been hiding for most of your life. Now that you’re back, stay, don’t leave again.

Wang Jinhui prayed silently in his heart.

"Okay, you arrange it."

"How about six o’clock in the evening? When the children go to the reception, we can head out?"

Tang Mei nodded thoughtfully.
