Chapter 368: When bragging gets real

Chapter 368: When bragging gets real

Jia excused herself out of the room and leaned her frame against the railing. Switching on the video call, she said, "I thought you were busy in your award ceremony."

"Aha! You betrayed me!" Mingshen’s gaze darkened.

"Huh? What betrayal?"

"You are outside dressed all nice and sexy. Where are you? Is it a date? Is it a date with that ok ok boyfriend?" His eyes narrowed dangerously.

"I swear if you will make me say one more time that Huojin is not my boyfriend, I will kill you for real this time."

He gasped. "You are not on a date? Then where else will you be? You don’t have a life of your own to wear party clothes."

"..."

Her brow twitched hard.

"Jeez thanks for pointing out my sorry and boring life, Mingshen."

"Obviously. It is me who makes it colorful~ So where are you?" He distanced the phone to let Jia bask in his handsomeness of today’s getup.

"The reunion party," Jia ignored his bragging of the expensive suit he was wearing.

"You went after all?" He raised his brow.

"Just for an hour. Now I am regretting it," she grimaced. "Everybody is bragging about their jobs, salaries, penthouses and boyfriends/husbands."

He sheepishly grinned. "So how much did you brag about me?"

"Why will I brag about you?" She blinked.

"..."

Disappointment was evident on his handsome face.

"Spicy, my heart just took a deep dive to the coldest place on the earth. How could you not brag about me when we have already slept together?" He sniffled.

Jia choked. "When have we slept together?"

"In your apartment, on your bed. Didn’t we share a cozy night after playing the wordplay game?" His eyes twinkled.

"..."

"Then we also shared such a passionate kiss in the hot spring-"

"Okay, that’s it, I am hanging up."

"No, no! You cannot hang up so soon. Not when you have betrayed me by attending the reunion party and ignoring to watch me in the award ceremony live stream!"

"I haven’t forgotten it. I will watch your award ceremony livestream, which is why I told them that I will stay only for an hour. Did you forget your own ceremony’s timings?" She chuckled.

His ears perked up. "You will watch me?"

"Yes."

"Will you clap for me too?"

"Of course."

"Will I get a congratulatory kiss on my lips after my return?"

"Get out."

"I can accept sex too. I am not so picky."

Jia smiled. "Bye, Mingshen."

"No, wait! Don’t hang-"

Jia cut the call after which a text message from Mingshen immediately lit up.

’Okay, I won’t tease about sex. Can I call again? I am deathly booooored!’

Seeing him send a innocent crying sticker made her shudder.

If anybody learns the kind of shady work he does at the lab, nobody will believe that he and this person sending this sticker are one and the same.

’Hang out with Miss. Xie. Play some games.’

Jia paused and added. ’Normal games.’

"Hey who was that?"

Jia turned, surprised. "Sorry?"

The same woman in purple dress, showing her engagement ring just a few minutes ago, approached her.

She is Fenhua, right?

"I am sorry I left for a cigarette break and noticed you on a video call."

"Oh. No problem."

"So who was he? You said you don’t have a boyfriend."

"He is not my boyfriend. He is a doctor who helps with forensic investigation in cases so my colleague and-"

’Friend’ almost slipped out of her tongue but she stopped in time.

...Can I really call him my friend?

She slightly squinted her eyes. "Are you sure? I just happened to take a look and he is very...gorgeous. He also seems to be at a party."

What is that connected with anything?

"It’s an award ceremony in London to felicitate for his research and development in medicine," she smiled.

"London?" She was taken aback. "I have heard about the conference. Some very big names are invited there. Wait...who was the doctor you were speaking to?"

She coughed. "Dr. Yang Mingshen."

A sharp gasp escaped as she took a step back.

"You work with Dr. Y-Yang Mingshen?"

Jia blinked rapidly. "Yes? What’s wrong?"

Fenhua seemed to return from her daze and she said, "Oh, nothing, nothing. I...never thought that you would know Yang Mingshen personally...My uncle is a doctor too and Yang Mingshen’s name is simply too popular to miss. Even meeting with him is a dream come true."

I wonder how long Mingshen’s nose would have grown with pride hearing this, Jia wondered.

"Yes, he is an extremely talented doctor."

"So when you came out just now, it was because...he called you?"

"Yes?" Jia couldn’t understand the direction she was heading. "I will head back to the table. I cannot stay for more time anyway."

"Why not?"

"I have to go back home and watch the live streaming of the award ceremony. I promised Mingshen I will watch it," she coughed.

"I see..."

As soon as Jia went back, she immediately noticed a change in the atmosphere. An awkward expression laid on everybody’s faces as a strange man wearing a crisp suit with an air of wealth and elegance stood with a pleasant smile on his lips. His gaze lit up when he noticed Jia and he walked up to her.

"Miss. Song Jia, am I correct?"

She glanced at Minmin for a second who looked just as clueless as her.

"Yes. Who is asking?"

"So very nice to meet you, Miss. Song. I am the President of the Golden Lotus hotel chain."

Everybody choked at once.

President!?

Jia blinked twice. "President?"

"Yes."

"...Why did a president come down to personally meet me?"

"First of all, please accept this exquisite bottle of champagne from me. I want to give you and your reunion party gang the best experience here."

Jia still couldn’t wrap her head around this development so she asked, "I am sorry but I have never spoken to you."

He waved his hand in dismissal with a grin. "Of course you didn’t and you don’t have to when Dr. Yang is there to handle everything."

"...Who?"

"Dr. Yang Mingshen. He wants no misses with your celebration so he has very specifically instructed that the party is on him."

Which translated to him paying the entire bill. Which coughed the hell out of the reunion party gang.

"Also, he has arranged for a musical for you and the group. Dr. Yang is very passionate to express how fortunate he has been to meet a..." he coughed and took out a note from his pocket. "Mind you, Miss. Song, these are not my words."

He continued. "How fortunate he has been to meet a super beautiful, strong, cool and sexy woman he would love to explore his bodily functions with one day."
