Chapter 1827: Chapter 675: First Encounter with Lin Xiangwan (Supersized Chapter – Please Subscribe)

Zhang Jingdong chatted with Sophia for a while, then said, "This is my first time in Milan. You’ve lived here for so many years; where do you think is the most interesting place in Milan?"

Sophia paused, then replied, "If it’s about tourist attractions, then naturally the Duomo di Milano, Teatro alla Scala, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and Santa Maria delle Grazie."

"But if you ask about the most interesting places, I think it’s those streets full of ancient charm in Milan. However, it’s best to have a local guide take you, otherwise you might not find them... How many days will you be staying in Milan?"

Zhang Jingdong felt a spark in his heart, "I’m not sure yet. I think if Milan is fun, then I’ll stay a few more days. If it’s not interesting, then I’ll just stay for a day or two and leave."

Sophia pursed her lips, "If you have no plans tomorrow, I can be your guide."

Zhang Jingdong had intentionally mentioned it was his first time in Milan to find a chance to suggest this idea to her. To his surprise, she brought it up herself, and he was instantly delighted.

"That’s wonderful, thank you!"

"You’re welcome. After all, you helped me tell my fortune just now, so we’re even."

Zhang Jingdong laughed and shook his head, "That’s not even. I spent less than ten minutes telling your fortune, and you’ll have to spend at least a day being my tour guide tomorrow. So I still have to thank you!"

He then extended his right hand in front of her, and suddenly, a platinum necklace appeared in his hand.

Sophia was instantly amazed by his trick!

"You... How did you do that?"

Zhang Jingdong handed the necklace to her, "Compared to fortune-telling, this is just child’s play. Look, consider this necklace as the reward for being my guide."

Sophia hurriedly shook her head, "No, no... It’s too valuable; I can’t accept it!"

Although she had never bought Bulgari jewelry before, Bulgari is an Italian brand, so she naturally recognized this necklace.

Zhang Jingdong said earnestly, "In Huaxia, we have a saying that the value of a gift is not about the price, but about the sentiment. Just accept it."

Seeing Sophia still reluctant to accept it, he continued, "Most importantly, I’ve infused this necklace with spiritual energy so that it will protect you for life and guide you to your Mr. Right... It’s a beautiful wish."

Sophia finally seemed tempted but still verbally refused, "But it’s way beyond..."

Zhang Jingdong interrupted, "You offering to be my guide is already a very deep friendship, and this necklace is the same sentiment I offer to you."

"If you don’t accept it, it means you don’t want to accept my sentiment. So I wouldn’t be able to comfortably accept your friendship either."

Sophia, seeing how far Zhang Jingdong had gone with his words, hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Zhang Jingdong saw her finally agree and smiled, "That’s right. After all, it’s a courtesy to reciprocate gifts."

"Since you agreed, I’ll show you another little magic trick. Watch closely..."

Zhang Jingdong suddenly clenched his right hand and made an exaggerated throwing motion.

Then, under Sophia’s curious gaze, he suddenly pointed at her neck, "Isn’t it magical?"

Sophia looked down at her neck, only to find that the necklace was already around her neck!

She instantly looked incredulous, "You... This... It’s just too magical, it’s practically like magic!"

Zhang Jingdong said with a touch of pride, "Do you think my skills could earn money performing on the streets of Milan?"

Sophia was instantly amused, "Absolutely! You would definitely be the coolest magician on the streets of Milan!"

"Alright, since you say so, tomorrow I’ll try performing on the streets of Milan, and you’ll have to assist me!"

"No problem, but you’ll have to teach me how to do it then."

"Of course, it’s very simple."

"Okay."

Unknowingly, the two chatted for over an hour, during which they exchanged contact information.

Then the plane’s announcement said there was half an hour left until Milan, and Zhang Jingdong bid farewell to Sophia and returned to first class.

Sophia watched Zhang Jingdong’s gradually receding figure, looked at the necklace around her neck, and suddenly remembered she forgot to ask for his name.

Not long after, the plane slowly landed on the ground.

Zhang Jingdong got off the plane, and since he had no luggage, he directly left the airport.

At this point, a yellow taxi stopped nearby, and the driver, seeing his Asian face, said in broken English, "Friend, where to?"

Zhang Jingdong replied, "Duomo di Milano."

"100 US Dollars."

Zhang Jingdong, knowing the driver might try to overcharge, but since he’s just having fun, didn’t argue and directly nodded, "Okay."

Saying this, he walked over and got in the car.

But he didn’t notice that the driver subtly waved his fingers towards a nearby black car as he got in.

People of later generations know Italy is full of thieves, but at this stage, Italy not only has many thieves, but also many robbers and organ traffickers.

After all, thieves might earn a few hundred to a thousand dollars a day, while the latter two could easily earn tens of thousands of dollars in a single day.

Their favorite targets are wealthy, solitary, and young women. Although Zhang Jingdong is a man, he meets the first three criteria, and being an Asian without any hair, many gays like his type, so they like him too.
