Chapter 1746: Chapter 648: Romantic Farewell with Her! (Extended Chapter Subscription Request)

Ten minutes later, Zhang Jingdong drove his parents back to the coal mine residential compound.

At that moment, Zhang Jingdong’s cellphone suddenly rang.

He took it out and glanced at it.

It was Zhang Lihua calling.

His heart tightened immediately.

After all, he was with his parents, and he was afraid Zhang Lihua might start with something outrageous.

But he couldn’t just hang up, so after connecting the call, he quickly said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Lihua knew Zhang Jingdong was going back to Jiangdu the next day, so she had lied to her family in advance and stayed at the restaurant waiting for his call.

But after waiting until past nine o’clock without any call from Zhang Jingdong, she couldn’t resist and called him herself for the first time at this hour.

She originally wanted to speak playfully with Zhang Jingdong, but she didn’t expect his piercing "Mr. Zhang," which instantly turned her heart cold: "Boss Zhang, where are you now?"

Zhang Jingdong heard the change in her tone and immediately said, "I just had dinner with my family and just sent my parents back. Do you want to talk about the mall project?"

Zhang Lihua immediately realized that Zhang Jingdong was probably taking the call in front of his parents and no longer felt wronged, saying calmly, "Yes, that’s okay. Since you’re busy today, let’s talk tomorrow."

Zhang Jingdong said meaningfully, "No problem, I’ll come over in a while. After all, this is such a big project, and I’m going back to Jiangdu tomorrow. I need to straighten out this project before I leave."

"By the way, I’ll also discuss with you about my parents working at our restaurant."

Zhang Lihua felt both shy and happy: "Okay, okay... I’ll wait for your call."

After hanging up, Zhang Jingdong already drove them downstairs.

He turned around and said, "Dad, Mom, that was Boss Zhang from Lihua Restaurant. I have to go talk to her about the mall project proposal and your work at the restaurant. You guys go up first."

If this had happened before, Lin Huiqin would have definitely asked more questions.

After all, it was late at night, and the other party was a beautiful woman much older than her son.

But today, Zhang Jingdong had made her very proud, and she once again confirmed the scale of her son’s business.

So Lin Huiqin said gladly, "Okay, okay... Son, go ahead and take care, drive safely."

"Okay, don’t worry."

Lin Huiqin and the others watched as Zhang Jingdong drove away, then went upstairs together.

Once inside and the door was closed, Lin Huiqin couldn’t help but say, "Old Zhang, do you think our son and that Boss Zhang have some kind of unusual relationship?"

Zhang Huaimin was first taken aback, then asked, "What do you mean by an unusual relationship?"

"What do you think? Don’t play dumb with me!"

"...It’s possible."

"Do you think our son really wants to marry her?"

"That doesn’t seem very likely. Think about it, with our son’s business now, there must be plenty of women wanting to get close to him, and surely some are even better than Boss Zhang. Sigh, why should we worry about this? Our son is so smart, he knows what to do."

Lin Huiqin thought seriously for a moment, then said, "You’re right, let’s not worry about it."

Saying this, Lin Huiqin suddenly blushed slightly, "Go take a shower, let’s go to bed early tonight."

Zhang Huaimin’s heart tightened instantly: "Why... our son hasn’t left yet!"

"Don’t worry, he’s been staying out for days. He definitely won’t come back tonight either."

Zhang Lihua: "I... I still have to prepare my fish food, or there won’t be any left for tomorrow."

"Catching those dead fish is useless. Aren’t you going to take care of your mermaid? If you don’t behave well today, I’ll break all your fishing rods tomorrow!"

Zhang Huaimin immediately felt intimidated: "...Alright."

...

Zhang Jingdong left the community and headed straight for the Lihua Restaurant.

Halfway there, his cellphone suddenly beeped again.

This time it wasn’t a call; it was a text message.

He glanced at it.

It was from Hu Ling: Are you still coming to the internet cafe tonight to teach me how to play games?

Zhang Jingdong had anticipated she might send such a message, but with Zhang Lihua calling earlier, he knew tonight would be a tough night.

He wasn’t worried about being too drained to head to the internet cafe afterwards.

He was just concerned Zhang Lihua might be clingy, and he wouldn’t be able to leave.

But he couldn’t reject Hu Ling outright, especially since she had just officially become his Inner Chamber Disciple. Rejecting her directly would seem too harsh.

So he quickly thought it over and replied: Sure, but I might be really late getting to you.

Hu Ling: No matter how late it is, I’ll wait for you.

Having no other choice, Zhang Jingdong replied: Okay.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the Lihua Restaurant.

By this time, the Lihua Restaurant had already closed.

He called Zhang Lihua and then went to her office on the second floor.

At this time, Zhang Lihua was unusually wearing a white sleeveless dress, with a black belt cinched at the waist, perfectly highlighting her slim waist.

Moreover, the dress had a slightly low-cut top, and the hem just reached her knees, making it the perfect battle outfit.

Zhang Jingdong’s heart warmed instantly as he approached: "Sister Hua, it seems you were prepared tonight?"

Zhang Lihua blinked her beautiful eyes, "How was I prepared?"

Zhang Jingdong teased, "You knew I like you in skirts, so you wore this brand new style that I’ve never seen you in before."
