Chapter 1830: Chapter 676: She’s Starting to Be Smitten! (Long Chapter—Subscription Requested)

Zhang Jingdong spent a good half hour looking around before he finally spotted a Chinese restaurant at a street corner.

The place looked pretty average, but since he was abroad now there wasn’t much room to be picky, so he just walked straight in.

He casually chose a table, picked up the menu and glanced at it, then ordered one Kung Pao Chicken, one stir-fried pork, plus a bowl of wonton noodles.

Before long the dishes were all served, and Zhang Jingdong tried a bite.

To his surprise, the taste was actually quite authentic.

So he went at it like a whirlwind, and finished everything in no time.

When paying the bill, on top of the food he tipped an extra 100.

Walking out of the restaurant, he lifted his wrist and checked the time.

It was not even ten.

For once there wasn’t a woman by his side, so he could righteously skip resting and instead started strolling along the street.

Twenty minutes later, he suddenly spotted a bar in the distance, and his heart stirred as he walked over.

He queued for a while, then went into the bar.

The bar only had one floor, but it was quite large and extremely lively.

Right then a rock band on stage was performing "We Will Rock You," and a bunch of young men and women were going wild on the dance floor.

Got to say, the bodies on these foreign chicks were really something, and a few of them had very striking looks too, but oddly enough none of them were his target.

Maybe their vibe was lacking a bit; especially compared with Sophia, most of them were your typical club girls.

Zhang Jingdong booked a booth, then ordered two bottles of Louis XIII and a Margarita.

To him this was standard procedure, but to those foreign girls, this Asian guy in full Louis Vuitton wasn’t just much taller and broader than the Asian men in their impression—his spending was outrageously generous too.

So in less than three minutes, a white girl with both great looks and figure made her way over to his booth.

"Hi, I’m Mary. Can I sit here?"

Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head. "No. But I can buy you a drink..."

As he spoke he raised his hand and called a waiter over, ordering a bottle of Hennessy for her.

The girl’s face lit up with delight. "Thank you!"

And then she actually leaned in and took the initiative to give Zhang Jingdong a kiss.

With this beauty setting the example, three more good-looking girls soon came over to say hi to Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong likewise didn’t let them sit down, but still gifted each of them a bottle of Hennessy, and they all took the initiative to kiss him as well.

Because of that little show, Zhang Jingdong quickly became the center of attention in the whole bar.

Another half hour passed, and seeing that his target still hadn’t appeared, Zhang Jingdong started to feel bored and decided to leave.

Just then, as he casually turned his head, he suddenly spotted Lin Xiangwan and her group coming into the bar.

And this time it wasn’t four of them, but six—three men and three women.

A hint of amusement flashed in Zhang Jingdong’s eyes. He poured himself another glass of Louis XIII, downed it in one go, then raised his hand and ordered three more bottles of Louis XIII.

The bottle-show here couldn’t quite compare to the spectacle of sending out Ace of Spades back in later years in China, but since Zhang Jingdong had already ordered five bottles of Louis XIII and dropped tens of thousands of US Dollars, the bar knew how to play along and had the floor manager bring over three of their prettiest waitresses to deliver the booze.

In an instant, Zhang Jingdong once again became the focus of the entire bar.

And because of that, Lin Xiangwan also spotted Zhang Jingdong.

Beside her, Ling Chuchu said, "Xiang Wan, look, it’s him!"

Lin Xiangwan’s cheeks were rarely tinged with a faint blush as she nodded. "...Mm."

Her cousin Gu Xiang, who had been chatting idly with her boyfriend Zhang Yi, heard that and followed their gaze.

She realized that the person they were talking about was not only a man, but the very man who’d just become the center of attention earlier, and she was instantly intrigued.

"Xiang Wan, you know that guy?"

Lin Xiangwan nodded, then briefly told Gu Xiang how she’d gotten to know Zhang Jingdong.

At this point, Ling Chuchu’s brother Ling Guowei couldn’t help asking, "When did this happen? How come I don’t know about it?"

Ling Chuchu showed no mercy to her brother. "You were rushing back to your room to smoke. How could you possibly know?"

"I...I wasn’t rushing to smoke, I was rushing to the bathroom."

Though the latter was a bit inelegant, between the two evils he chose the lesser one. Ling Guowei had no choice but to lie and then shot his sister a look.

Gu Xiang remarked, "This man is something. He looks very young, but the way he carries himself is way too mature—he’s got more self-control than some men in their thirties or forties."

Ling Chuchu couldn’t help agreeing. "Exactly. So many beauties went up to hit on him, and he didn’t let a single one sit down. That’s some serious self-control!"

"Any other guy would’ve totally lost it already!"

As she spoke, Ling Chuchu turned to glance at her own brother again, earning herself another eye-roll from Ling Guowei.

Having a little sister who valued friends over her brother, he really had nothing to counter with.

Lin Xiangwan had originally just thought Zhang Jingdong was very special. Now, hearing Ling Chuchu and Gu Xiang, she suddenly realized this man really was mature, stylish, and steady. Her gaze toward him softened even more.

For a moment, she even felt an urge to walk over and talk to him, but her ingrained reserve reminded her she couldn’t do that.

Meanwhile, the ever-composed "fisherman" Zhang Jingdong was actually a little conflicted himself.
