“Option 1: Kick Jiang Lianlian’s leg away, but don’t expose her. The system will award you the honorary title ‘Protector of Women.'”
“Option 2: Angrily swear and expose Jiang Lianlian’s current actions to teach her a lesson she wouldn’t forget. Reward: +5 Courage points.”
“Option 3: Restrain Jiang Lianlian’s leg without exposing her current actions. Reward: a copy of Jiang Lianlian’s inner voice.”
The Courage points tempted Chen Tianming. After all, courage was crucial in the business world. As the saying goes, ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained,’ so courage was essential to succeed.
However, the courage points paled in comparison to Jiang Lianlian’s inner voice. After all, if he could hear Jiang Lianlian’s thoughts, he would discover what Jiang Bei was plotting through his sister.
Although Chen Tianming didn’t want to bother learning about Jiang Bei’s plan, he felt that it would be a waste not to accept this opportunity given to him by the system.
Chen Tianming chose the third option and grabbed Jiang Lianlian’s leg.
Jiang Lianlian gave a startled cry as her agile leg was instantly restrained.
Duan Fei was sitting beside Jiang Lianlian, and when he heard the sound, he immediately leaned toward her and worriedly said,
“What’s wrong, Lianlian? Are you not feeling well? If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll ask the waiter to buy some medicine for you.”
Obviously, Jiang Lianlian didn’t expect Chen Tianming to do such a thing, and she was busy figuring out what she should do next, so she just waved her hand and responded to Duan Fei’s concern with,
“I’m fine. I just accidentally hit my hand on the table just now.”
Duan Fei immediately called the waiter into the room and sternly berated, “Is this how you guys do your jobs? Why didn’t the staff get a table made of softer materials for the private room? What if a child or an elderly accidentally knocks into the table?”
“This matter must be rectified. If you don’t, all of you can pack up and leave.”
The waiter was upset after he heard Duan Fei’s demand; he looked imploringly at Chen Tianming.
It was true that Duan Fei was the young master of their restaurant, but Duan Fei’s father was just the restaurant’s business partner, which couldn’t compare to an investor like Chen Tianming.
Chen Tianming silently nodded at the waiter, indicating he should comply with Duan Fei’s request.
Though Duan Fei usually treated others like dirt, he had proposed a good reform idea this time. There would indeed be such concerns when it came to children or the elderly.
The waiter hurriedly nodded before leaving the private room and telling the manager about this matter.
When the manager heard the waiter’s feedback, he promptly ordered a large number of customized table corner protectors.
Investors are the boss, so they have to serve them well.
Duan Fei was greatly satisfied by the waiter’s swift actions, and his voice became even gentler as he spoke to Jiang Lianlian,
“If Lianlian still feels uncomfortable, just tell me. Make yourself at home; after all, this is my restaurant.”
Jiang Lianlian nodded casually in response as all her attention was on Chen Tianming.
This was the first time she had done such an exciting thing in public, and her face flushed red.
Seeing Jiang Lianlian’s current state, Su Xiaonuan had a rough idea of what had happened to her. So, she pretended she’d accidentally dropped her phone and looked under the table.
Jiang Lianlian saw Su Xiaonuan’s actions and knew what she wanted to do, so she tried to pull her leg out of Chen Tianming’s grasp.
However, Chen Tianming wouldn’t let her have her way. When Su Xiaonuan squatted down, he didn’t let go of Jiang Lianlian’s leg. Instead, he tightened his grip.
Jiang Lianlian was worried when she felt Chen Tianming’s actions. She feared that her brother and Duan Fei would discover what she had done.
After all, in Jiang Lianlian’s heart, she had tacitly acknowledged Duan Fei as her future husband, so she didn’t want him to know she’d done such a shameful thing.
Not to mention her brother; if he knew that there was something between her and Tianming, she would feel even worse. Jiang Bei would scold her or stop giving her spending money as punishment.
For her pocket money, she couldn’t let Su Xiaonuan find out what they were doing. She looked at Chen Tianming beseechingly.
Of course, Chen Tianming noticed Jiang Lianlian’s expression. He wasn’t going to do anything improper; he had only wanted to teach her a lesson through this incident.
Don’t cause trouble for others because you have nothing better to do. There’s only one result in doing so, and that is to be on tenterhooks.
Chen Tianming didn’t want others to think he had anything to do with Jiang Lianlian, so he let go of her leg just as Su Xiaonuan was about to look under the table.
However, Jiang Lianlian was still trying to pull her leg back, and she had used too much strength; she didn’t expect Chen Tianming to let her go so suddenly.
As a result, Jiang Lianlian and the chair she was sitting on were thrown to the ground. The loud noise of her chair hitting the ground and smashing the floor tile rang out in the private room, accompanied by Jiang Lianlian’s piercing scream.
The others were dumbfounded.
‘What was going on?’
‘Why did Jiang Lianlian fall to the ground?’
Duan Fei saw Jiang Lianlian’s current situation and quickly went over to show concern. “Lianlian, are you alright? Is everything okay? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”
Jiang Lianlian was already quite frustrated when she ended up on the ground. Duan Fei’s nagging only made her even more annoyed.
Although Jiang Lianlian didn’t say anything, she was silently swearing up a storm.
Chen Tianming felt awkward when he heard Jiang Lianlian’s foul language.
He didn’t know if he was blind or if his brain was fried in his previous life. How could he have had feelings for a two-faced girl like Jiang Lianlian?!
Chen Tianming felt miserable when he thought about it!
Just then, Jiang Lianlian’s voice in his head abruptly stopped, so he turned to look at her.
When he looked over, Jiang Lianlian rolled her eyes at him. However, he didn’t hear any of her thoughts.
Chen Tianming was confused. He wanted to find out what went wrong with his new ability when Jiang Lianlian said sweetly, “Duan Fei, Lianlian doesn’t hurt, but it’s a pity about the floor tile!”
As she said this, Jiang Lianlian clung to Duan Fei, and she looked at Chen Tianming provocatively.
At the same time, Jiang Lianlian’s voice once again echoed in Chen Tianming’s mind.
