"Mr. Tang's intelligence is impressive." (ManranyamaSouren)
-
ManranyamaSouren quickly recovered from his surprise and naturally continued the conversation.
-
"No, I'm still far from being smart." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
"If I were smart enough, I wouldn't have miscalculated just now." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
Tang Mingtuo expressed regret for his miscalculation over the phone, with a very sincere tone, without any deliberate humility.
-
"However, as the ancients said, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and miscalculations also have their benefits." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
Tang Mingtuo then seemed to have a hidden message in his words.
-
ManranyamaSouren thought she had already caught up with Tang Mingtuo's conversation, but she was immediately left several streets behind.
-
ManranyamaSouren couldn't understand what Tang Mingtuo was talking about.
-
"Could you help me open a door?" (Tang Mingtuo)
-
Quite abruptly, Tang Mingtuo said over the phone.
-
—Open a door?
-
—What door to open?
-
ManranyamaSouren was very hesitant after hearing this.
-
At this moment, she was not at home.
-
During a break with Van, they found a Japanese restaurant to have lunch.
-
Since the main hall was full, the waiter arranged a private room for them.
-
This whole thing happened unexpectedly.
-
Even ManranyamaSouren and Van themselves didn't know they would have lunch here at noon.
-
Unless they were being followed, Tang Mingtuo couldn't possibly know their whereabouts.
-
—This question had to be answered somehow.
-
"Uh, Mr. Tang came to my humble abode personally? I'm not at home right now, sorry..." (ManranyamaSouren)
-
Out of self-esteem or safety concerns, ManranyamaSouren evaded Tang Mingtuo's question.
-
But in the next second, Tang Mingtuo directly pointed out the gap in her strength.
-
"Yeah, I know." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
"I think about it carefully, it's impolite for a lady to do the honors. I should open this door myself." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the Japanese restaurant private room where ManranyamaSouren was, was pulled open with a "whoosh".
-
Standing there was Tang Mingtuo.
-
Beside him was Yu.
-
Although she had some anticipation in her heart, everything happened so suddenly that ManranyamaSouren was speechless for ten seconds.
-
All she could do was widen her eyes and stare blankly.
-
It was Van sitting next to ManranyamaSouren who reacted first, gently poking ManranyamaSouren under the table, prompting her to regain her composure and stand up to greet Tang Mingtuo and Yu.
-
"I never thought Mr. Tang's foresight would be so accurate. I apologize for the oversight and the inadequate welcome." (ManranyamaSouren)
-
"Haha, Miss Manranyama is too polite." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
Tang Mingtuo skillfully exchanged pleasantries, while Yu nodded gracefully and greeted ManranyamaSouren and Van.
-
"I'm sorry for the sudden visit, interrupting your meal." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
"Not at all, if you don't mind, would you like to join us for a bit?" (ManranyamaSouren)
-
After hearing this, Tang Mingtuo turned his head to exchange a glance with Yu, then turned back to ManranyamaSouren.
-
"Then we'll graciously accept your offer. To be honest, we haven't had lunch yet." (Tang Mingtuo)
-
Although that's what he said, everyone present understood.
-
Having a meal was just a superficial cover. In reality, beneath this meal, there were important matters to discuss.
