"Oh, so you’re in the wedding business," the officer understood, growing even more familiar. "Great! When I get married, I’ll definitely look you up."
"Leave it to me," Liuu Jun said, patting his chest in assurance, then casually started asking about Tang Jing’s preferences. "By the way, what does your Captain Tang usually like?" There was nothing shameful about a man being open about his intentions.
"Trying to drum up business at the traffic police station?" Just as the two were chatting animatedly, a slightly deep, husky female voice cut in. It was Tang Jing, who had jogged over.
Tang Jing naturally recognized Liuu Jun. They had just met a few days ago, and her impression of him wasn’t bad. Even though the other party in that incident had been trying to pull a scam, Liuu Jun’s attitude had been decent; he had remained calm and tried to reason with them.
It was only when the other person became too aggressive that Liuu Jun was forced to push back. All in all, he was a well-mannered person with a good temper.
"Captain Tang," Liuu Jun’s smile brightened instantly upon seeing her. "Are you busy right now? If not, can I treat you to a meal later?"
Tang Jing glanced at the gossiping officer at the gate, then flatly rejected Liuu Jun’s offer. "I’ll pass on the meal. I was just doing my job. If there’s nothing else, I have to get back to work. I have an assignment soon."
Liuu Jun immediately changed tactics. He turned and picked up a bouquet of Floyd roses from the table. "These are for you. They’re a new arrival at the shop today. I thought they suited you."
Tang Jing looked at the Floyd roses, so vibrant they were almost gaudy, then back at Liuu Jun. "They suit me? Do I look that gaudy?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Liuu Jun smiled. "Of course not. It’s because you’re both beautiful."
The onlooking officer now truly thought Liuu Jun was a warrior. To be able to say such things to Tang Jing’s icy face without blushing or missing a beat was incredible.
You don’t hit a smiling face, as the saying goes. Tang Jing looked at the flowers Liuu Jun was holding out to her and finally accepted them. "Thank you. But please don’t send any more next time. I have to get to work. You should head back."
"Didn’t you have a bone fracture? You should hurry home and rest."
Liuu Jun was exceptionally obedient. "Okay, I’ll go home and rest right now. Next time, I’ll send something else."
Tang Jing’s brow furrowed. ’How can this guy be so thick-skinned?’
As soon as Tang Jing left, Liuu Jun asked the officer for more details about her various likes and dislikes before heading back in high spirits. What he didn’t know was that not long after he departed, the news that Tang Jing had a suitor had spread throughout the entire traffic police brigade.
As Tang Jing walked to her office holding the roses, she felt like everyone’s eyes were on her. They would stare at the bouquet in her arms, then glance back at her and smile.
The more outgoing ones even asked Tang Jing about Liuu Jun. Clearly, he had already left an impression on everyone.
Tang Jing felt a headache coming on. ’Is Liuu Jun blind or something?’ she thought. ’A fair-skinned, clean-cut young man like him is into me? I’m not exactly a beauty by conventional standards, and my personality is hard as a rock. This is probably just a whim of his.’
Tang Jing shook her head and didn’t dwell on it. With Liuu Jun’s qualifications, what kind of girlfriend couldn’t he find? Why would he go for a female traffic cop like her? She wasn’t the type to do laundry, cook, or take care of kids.
But for the next month straight, Liuu Jun came every day, rain or shine, delivering gifts to the traffic police brigade before work. Sometimes it was flowers, sometimes it was delicious food, and he even sent a set of cycling gear.
The people under Tang Jing’s command even started a betting pool, guessing what gift Liuu Jun would bring next.
"So far he’s sent flowers, food, fruit, and drinks. The day before yesterday, he sent sunscreen—and I have to say, it actually works really well. What’s he going to send today?"
"No idea. The guy’s a true warrior. Do you think Captain Tang is interested in him?"
"Hard to say. But he’s seriously stubborn."
"Our Captain Tang is a real badass. She could take me down with one hand. Liuu Jun looks so fair and clean-cut, like a pretty boy."
"It’s true. He’s paler than a lot of girls. What on earth do you think he sees in Captain Tang?"
"Didn’t you hear? In his eyes, Captain Tang is as beautiful as those... what do you call them... roses. You think his taste is a little... unique?"
"Maybe he’s just seen so many beautiful women that his standards are naturally unconventional?"
While everyone was speculating, Tang Jing walked into the office carrying a gift bag. Seeing them all staring at her, she narrowed her phoenix eyes. "Is all your equipment checked?"
"Captain Tang, we were just curious what President Liuu sent this time! All our work is done, don’t you worry!"
Tang Jing looked at the gift bag, then at her gossiping team members, and couldn’t help but sigh. "You all have nothing better to do? How about a couple of laps around the training field?"
"Come on, Captain Tang! Just let us have a look!"
The team members knew Tang Jing was just cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so they continued to pry. Besides, her subordinates were all women, so they spoke without much restraint.
Tang Jing tried to keep a straight face, but in the end, she couldn’t win against the young women and opened the gift bag.
"What is it?"
"It’s a small box, looks like a jewelry box. Given the size, you think it’s a ring box?"
"No way, right? Our captain hasn’t even said yes to him yet. Suddenly sending a ring, isn’t that a little too...?"
Tang Jing had already opened the box. "What are you all thinking? It’s a necklace."
Liuu Jun was completely copying Xu Jia. He had heard from Liuu Yuming that the first expensive gift Xu Jia gave her was a necklace. This was a clever move, as the word for "necklace" in Chinese is a pun on "being in love." Liuu Jun learned the trick and immediately put it to use.
He had wanted to send a ring, but on second thought, he felt that would be too sudden. A gradual approach was better.
"Is that jadeite? For such a vibrant red, how much must it have cost?"
"Now I really believe President Liuu is loaded."
Tang Jing stared at the jadeite necklace for a long moment. Calming herself, she closed the jewelry box. "I’m going to make a phone call."
"Captain Tang is getting shy."
"Do you guys think Captain Tang will accept it?"
"Hard to say. But President Liuu is a great catch. He’s around our captain’s age, he has a car and a house here, and he runs his own company. A total diamond bachelor."
"I heard... I heard..."
"I heard that this President Liuu has never been in a relationship..."
"For real? A man who’s reached thirty these days and has never dated? That’s a rare species, isn’t it?"
"Hold on, not thirty. He’s thirty-one..."
When Tang Jing came back from her phone call, she heard everyone discussing Liuu Jun. She cleared her throat. "Time to prep for the assignment. Why is every single one of you so gossipy?"
Her deputy captain leaned in. "We’re just curious, aren’t we? Captain Tang, what did you say to President Liuu? Did you set up a dinner date for tonight?"
Tang Jing replied, "I did. How’d you know?"
The deputy captain grinned. "We figured you wouldn’t accept such an expensive gift, so you’d have to return it in person, right? Looked at that way, President Liuu is a bit cunning. A man full of schemes."
