Feng Jun: It’s complicated. Are you free this noon? Why don’t we share a meal together? My treat.
Ye Qingyi: Sure, where?
Feng Jun: Can you leave your work this afternoon?
Ye Qingyi: Why?
Feng Jun: Um, we can drink or watch a film together.
Ye Qingyi: Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t.
Feng Jun: Fine.
Ye Qingyi: Where are we going to dine?
Feng Jun: You can choose. Oh, we need a private room and don’t come with other people.
Ye Qingyi: Why don’t we go to a café?
Feng Jun frowned because he had no interest in western food.
Besides, if they went to a café, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy drinks with Ye Qingyi.
However, he still agreed in the end.
Afterward, he walked around for a while before entering a phone shop.
When he walked out, there was a gift bag in his hand. He decided to send Ye Qingyi a new phone.
Although it was a little expensive, he thought he should thank her.
If it hadn’t been for her advice, he wouldn’t have visited the antique store next to Li Dafu.
If he hadn’t visited the antique store, he wouldn’t have bought the gourd-shaped pendant.
Without the gourd-shaped pendant, he wouldn’t have had the idea to pick up stones.
Anyway, his good luck began after his meeting with Ye Qingyi.
Therefore, he was willing to send her a new phone.
At 12:20 pm, the two met at the café.
There was no private room. Only a booth was left, and most of the customers were couples in love.
They sat down by a table later. Feng Jun ordered a burger, a plate of pasta, and a bottle of beer, while Ye Qingyi ordered egg tarts and salad, a cup of juice, and a cup of coffee.
Feng Jun was surprised. “You’ve ordered many drinks. Why don’t you order some food?”
“I don’t eat much,” said Ye Qingyi with a smile. “I know you’re rich now, so I added a cup of coffee.”
Feng Jun cocked his eyebrow. “Did you do some research?”
Ye Qingyi nodded. “There are no secrets in this industry, but I am surprised to know that you’re the mysterious man with a backpack.”
“Ha-ha.” Feng Jun laughed.
Ye Qingyi said, “Anyway, where did you get the jade?”
Feng Jun glanced at her. “Do you really want to know it?”
Ye Qingyi shook her head at once. “I’m simply curious. You don’t need to be worried. I told nobody about you.”
Feng Jun nodded with a serious expression. “I trust you.”
Ye Qingyi smiled at him, and her beautiful smile amazed Feng Jun.
“Hey, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” asked Ye Qingyi.
Feng Jun blinked. “Didn’t you tell me that you don’t know much about jade either?”
Ye Qingyi pouted. “I know more about jade than you.”
Feng Jun said, “Do you think six million yuan is a lower price than its real worth?”
Ye Qingyi shook her head. “I can’t make the judgment because I didn’t see it. Well, I don’t think Liang Haiqing would fool you at that place.”
Feng Jun nodded. “I simply didn’t want to waste time on it.”
“What?” Ye Qingyi rounded her eyes in shock. “Don’t you know that you could have made much more money if you had been patient?”
“I know.” Feng Jun nodded. “I don’t care about it.”
He thought that he must look handsome when he was so calm.
“You don’t care about it?” Ye Qingyi was obviously annoyed. “If you told me earlier, I would give you a reasonable price range, which might help you get more money.”
“Alright, it’s not important,” said Feng Jun.
Ye Qingyi was mad, but she suddenly realized that she shouldn’t take it too seriously. It was Feng Jun’s personal affair after all.
“You don’t trust me,” she said in the end.
Feng Jun shook his head. “You’re wrong. I simply couldn’t trust myself. I just wanted to sell it out as soon as possible to make some money.
“I don’t care if I could have made much more money with it. I just needed to make a quick decision at that time.”
Ye Qingyi was surprised.
However, it was hard for her to accept this explanation.
She glanced at him, then nodded. “Fine.”
Feng Jun smiled. “Well…”
Right when he was about to say something else, his phone rang.
The caller was Wang Haifeng. “Hey, dude, where are you now?”
“The cafe opposite Li Dafu on Fuxing Road,” said Feng Jun with a smile. “You’re not dead, are you?”
“Wait for me.” Wang Haifeng hung up on him.
Feng Jun then put his phone down now. “Well, I know my weaknesses, so I chose to sell it without hesitation.”
There was admiration in Ye Qingyi’s eyes. “It’s not easy to do that.”
Feng Jun nodded.
“Where is the video? Let me have a look,” said Ye Qingyi as she reached out her hand.
As soon as she played the video, a waiter placed their food and drinks on the table.
The two ate and drank when they watched the video together. When they finished the meal, Feng Jun took out the gift bag. “Here, a gift for you.”
“Why do you send me a gift all of a sudden?” Ye Qingyi was curious.
“Thank you for giving me advice on jade, or I could have missed the good opportunity,” said Feng Jun with a smile.
The next second, he joked. “If you think it’s too expensive, you can give me something as compensation.”
“What do you want?” Ye Qingyi looked at him.
“You can…” Feng Jun opened his mouth.
“Hey, dude!” A man interrupted them.
“Hi, Feng Jun!” Another female voice sounded behind them, and Xia Xiaoyu showed up from Wang Haifeng’s back.
However, the smile froze on her face the next second. She glanced at Ye Qingyi with surprise, then looked at the gift bag on the table.
“Your name is Feng Jun?” Ye Qingyi smiled at him. She then stood up. “Excuse me, I need to go back to work now.”
“Wait, it’s only 1:30 pm,” said Feng Jun as he gave Xia Xiaoyu a glance with an expressionless face.
He didn’t know how he should explain his relationship with Xia Xiaoyu to Ye Qingyi.
In fact, he wanted to have a closer relationship with Ye Qingyi.
Ye Qingyi stopped and said to him, “I like your name.”
After that, she waved good-bye to them and left without turning around at all.
She didn’t touch the gift bag on the table either.
Feng Jun glared at Wang Haifeng. “Well done, man!”
