Chapter 1863: Chapter 687: Reunion Is Better Than Newlywed!

Zhang Jingdong brought Sophia and He Jieyu back to the hotel and took the elevator upstairs.

Once inside the room, the remaining 11 bottles of Romanee Conti were already placed on the coffee table in the living room.

Zhang Jingdong turned to Sophia and asked, "Can things be shipped from Europe to Huaxia right now?"

Sophia nodded, "Of course, from what I know, you can ship things from here. Do you want to send these wines back home?"

"That’s right, the Romanee Conti bought locally here is definitely top-notch once it’s back home."

"Alright, I’ll take you there tomorrow."

They chatted a bit more, and then suddenly the living room fell silent.

There’s no help for it, if He Jieyu weren’t here, Zhang Jingdong and Sophia would have probably started doing something by now.

Oh no, switch He Jieyu’s and Sophia’s names in the previous sentence, and it’d have the same basic effect.

But at this moment, both of them were there, making the situation a bit subtle.

Luckily, Zhang Jingdong was a master at handling such situations, and casually said, "He Jieyu, you can use the bathroom first. Sophia and I will have a drink."

He Jieyu, with an expressionless demeanor, said, "Alright, thank you, Boss."

With that, she turned and went to the bathroom.

Zhang Jingdong first went to the wine cabinet to get wine glasses and a corkscrew, then wrapped an arm around Sophia’s waist and sat down on the sofa.

He deftly opened a bottle of wine and poured it for the two of them.

At this moment, perhaps due to drinking earlier, Sophia’s originally fair face was tinged with a slight blush, making her appear particularly enchanting.

Zhang Jingdong placed his left hand on her smooth leg, raised his wine glass with his right hand, and asked, "Drank too much?"

Sophia shook her head with a smile, "Of course not, I’m the daughter of a vineyard master, remember? I’ve got good wine tolerance just from my genes."

"Then... cheers!"

"Cheers!"

They clinked their glasses and each took a large sip.

At that moment, the sound of the shower came from the bathroom.

He Jieyu originally wanted to take a bath, but she was afraid if it took too long, Zhang Jingdong wouldn’t be able to hold himself back, so she opted for a shower instead.

Zhang Jingdong glanced at the bathroom, then looked back at Sophia, set down his wine glass, and placed his right hand on her fragrant shoulder.

"On the way back, I felt like the fire in your heart had been ignited. Was it my charm that sparked it?"

Sophia bit her lip, both embarrassed and delighted, "Somewhat... but not completely."

"Not completely? Then what’s the rest about?"

"Because... I’ve been holding onto someone else’s boyfriend’s hand."

Instantly, Zhang Jingdong’s heart clenched.

He instantly grasped what Sophia’s words meant.

But he soon realized, Sophia didn’t seem truly angry, in fact, there was even a hint of... excitement in her gaze?

So he decided to play along, "Wha... what do you mean?"

At this point, Sophia put her arm around his shoulder.

"Boss Zhang, do you really not know what I mean?"

Zhang Jingdong now fully realized she had known, and said, "When did you figure it out?"

"This afternoon at the train station."

"At the train station!?" Zhang Jingdong was instantly shocked, "So you knew what our relationship was the first time you saw her?"

Sophia nodded straightforwardly, "Yeah."

"How could you tell?"

"I may not have dated before, but I’ve watched plenty of films, and I have friends who’ve dated. The way He Jieyu looked at you, if she wasn’t with you, then her acting skills could win her a spot in a movie!"

"But she admitted to you that she likes me."

"But the way you looked at her had an indescribable tenderness that was definitely not the kind of affection a boss would have for a subordinate, but what lovers share."

At this point, Zhang Jingdong chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Well, guess my acting isn’t perfect after all."

"Tsk... your acting is already great. It’s just that because I really love you, I’m already with you, so I have this strong sixth sense for you. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t have noticed."

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "...Alright, so what do you plan to do with me now?"

Sophia picked up her wine glass, downed the remaining wine in one gulp, and then said, "I’ll give you two choices, the first one... we break up."

Zhang Jingdong immediately said, "I’ll take the second."

A small smile appeared on Sophia’s lips, "The second choice... we go to the bathroom door, and before she finishes her shower, if you can give me a lesson, then I’ll forgive you."

Zhang Jingdong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly blinked, "You... are you sure?"

Sophia gave him a sideways glance, "I’m sure! I want to gain her boyfriend now because my boyfriend was already taken by her!"

Although Zhang Jingdong felt Sophia’s gaze was a bit unhealthy at that moment, he strangely liked this unhealthy aspect of hers.

He then stood up, holding Sophia’s hand, and walked to the bathroom door...

"Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the teaching in a special environment, reward: 5 million yuan!"

About ten minutes later, Zhang Jingdong finished the lesson.

Less than a minute later, the shower sound from the bathroom stopped.

Zhang Jingdong then quickly returned to the sofa with Sophia in his arms and continued drinking wine.

Twenty minutes later, He Jieyu came out of the bathroom.

At this moment, besides her hair being a bit wet, she looked just the same as before going in.

She approached, pretending to be indifferent, "Boss, I’m done showering, I’m heading back to my room."

Zhang Jingdong nodded, "Mm."

After hearing the door close, Zhang Jingdong turned to Sophia, "We were outside earlier; now, shall we go inside the bathroom?"
