Chapter 1422: Chapter 540: Little Secrets Between Lovers
After making the pinky promise, Zhang Jingdong leaned over and gave Tong Xin a kiss, then continued eating.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Jingdong said: "Tomorrow I have to go to Zhuhai; there’s a very large collaboration project there, and I need to personally oversee it."
Tong Xin’s eyes dimmed slightly, but as Yan Ning’s secretary, she naturally understood this, and nodded: "...Okay."
Zhang Jingdong continued: "Regarding the magic, don’t worry..."
As he spoke, he shook his right hand, and suddenly a platinum necklace appeared in his hand.
"I’ve infused more yang energy into this necklace. If you wear it every day, it should last for at least a week."
Tong Xin noticed it was a Bulgari necklace, but this time she obediently nodded: "...Okay."
Seeing her suddenly a bit downcast, Zhang Jingdong said: "Don’t worry, I’ll be back in three to five days at most."
Hearing this, Tong Xin’s mood improved a bit: "Okay."
"Come here, I’ll put it on for you."
Tong Xin leaned over.
Zhang Jingdong put the necklace on her, then gave her cheek a kiss.
"Wow, it looks great!"
Tong Xin was happy too: "...Thank you."
Zhang Jingdong placed his hand on her fragrant shoulder: "Didn’t I tell you not to say thank you to me before? And now with our relationship, it feels so distant to say that!"
"...Alright, I’ll remember."
Seeing her so obedient, Zhang Jingdong took the opportunity to say: "I’m leaving tomorrow; won’t you give me a farewell gift?"
Tong Xin nodded happily: "Of course, tell me, what gift would you like?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"I don’t want anything; I just want you to do one thing."
Tong Xin vaguely guessed what it might be, feeling a bit conflicted, but still nodded because she was happy.
"Okay, tell me, what is it?"
Zhang Jingdong laughed playfully: "You’re agreeing before knowing what it is, you’re so kind-hearted?"
Tong Xin bit her lip: "Well, because you’re so good to me."
"That’s why you’re my woman. I won’t take advantage of you; just wear this one outfit."
"What outfit?"
"That little black dress in your wardrobe."
Tong Xin was initially surprised, then quickly recalled yesterday’s conversation when they were at work, blushing instantly.
"How could you sneak a peek in my wardrobe?"
Zhang Jingdong thick-skinnedly said: "I was just worried you were bluffing yesterday; after all, you’re usually so aloof as the chairman’s secretary. No one would believe you’d wear that."
"But now I’m totally convinced; you’re cold on the outside but quite warm inside."
"I’m not lying; seeing those just made me love you more!"
"Because if a woman is cold outside and equally cold at home, she likely has no passion for life, making relationships hard."
"So now I’m getting more excited about our relationship!"
Tong Xin finally let out a sigh of relief but still hesitated about Zhang Jingdong’s request: "But why do you want me to wear that? You can’t see it, and I only wear it with formal attire before."
Zhang Jingdong casually said: "You don’t understand, do you? Even though I can’t see it, only we know about it, and you wore it specifically for me. This is quite something!"
Seeing Tong Xin still hesitating, Zhang Jingdong continued: "I’m heading to another city tomorrow; leave me with a thought to carry."
"Thinking about this, I’ll subconsciously want to finish things quickly and return early."
Tong Xin felt conflicted but was moved by Zhang Jingdong’s final words.
So she gave Zhang Jingdong a sideways glance: "...Alright, since you’re heading out of town, I’ll make an exception."
Seeing her agree, Zhang Jingdong was instantly delighted: "I knew Tongtong was the best!"
"Tongtong?"
"What, don’t you like the nickname?"
"I was called that before I was ten; now it feels so childish!"
"Then what do you want me to call you? Sister Tong? Little Tong? Xin?"
"Better call me Sister Tong, since I’m indeed older than you."
Zhang Jingdong teased: "Indeed, you are older than me. How about I call you Grandma Tong?"
Tong Xin burst out laughing: "You...you rascal!"
"Grandma Tong, you must realize not every woman gets this title; you earned it, cherish it!"
Tong Xin pursed her lips, then suddenly thought of something and asked: "Be honest, what do you privately call Mr. Yan and Lawyer Qin?"
Zhang Jingdong nonchalantly replied: "Just Ning and Yu."
Tong Xin was surprised: "Really? They both accept it?"
Zhang Jingdong put a piece of beef in his mouth: "Grandma Tong, women at a certain age love being called sister, especially by their man."
Tong Xin paused, then thoughtfully nodded: "Okay, that makes sense."
Soon, the two finished breakfast.
Zhang Jingdong glanced at the bedroom: "Alright, I’ll go wash the dishes; you go change. We still have work."
Tong Xin pouted: "You better wash those dishes properly; no peeking!"
Zhang Jingdong teased: "I hadn’t even thought of that until you mentioned it. Hmm, could you be hinting at something?"
