“So, you went out of your way to learn this stupid dating way just to get a kiss? This teenagers’ way of dating is no longer suitable for a person of your status. I can hardly imagine the scene of the general manager of BGY Group, who is already a billionaire, carrying two buckets of popcorn and coke into the cinema.”

Ji Nuan said as she took out her phone and looked at the time, her fingers accidentally touching the photo album on her phone.

The last time she accompanied Ji Hongwen to the temple, she took a photo of the so-called perfect divination stick she drew with her cell phone.

The golden circle fell into her sight.

She had not understood the meaning of the original life track and the brand-new track even now, but that monk said this divination stick was a very good omen, so she took a photo of it before she left. She had planned to ask other people who undertook Buddhism, but she forgot it after taking the photo. Till now, when she opened the album unintentionally, she suddenly remembered this matter.

Not noticing Ji Nuan was staring at her cell phone, Mr. Vinse, who was driving sighed with a smile. “That’s because you never accept the valuable gifts I gave you, so I thought you might like these sweet little surprises. I’ve tried every possible means to woo you, but it still doesn’t work.”

“You sound so frustrated.” Ji Nuan said with a smile as she casually ran her finger through the phone’s photo album.

“Yes, frustrated.” Mr. Vinse had parked the car in the parking space below her apartment, turned around, and looked at her pretty, fair-skinned face in the darkness but illuminated by the light of her cell phone. He put his hands on the steering wheel casually and asked as if he was joking. “So, are you going to give me a consolation prize?”

Ji Nuan was still thinking about the divination stick and didn’t pay attention to what he said. She was just instinctively aware that she seemed to have arrived home.

She looked up at him from her phone. “What consolation prize?”

Then she turned her head and looked out. “But I really should thank you for the hospitality you gave me today. Thank you for picking me up and sending me…”

Before Ji Nuan finished her words, she suddenly felt a warmth on her cheeks.

As she froze, the light of her cell phone illuminated her face more clearly, and when she turned her eyes sharply, Mr. Vinse was back in the driver’s seat, his hands on the steering wheel, smiling peacefully and gently. “This kind of kiss is quite common in western countries. I think you must have experienced it when you were in London. I didn’t ask much, nor did I ask you to kiss me back, so this consolation prize is fair.”

A cold gleam flickered across Ji Nuan’s eyes. She immediately put out the cell phone, and the anger in her heart was covered by her seemingly calm look.

Yes, in Britain, she had met the kind of Western man who came up to her at a dinner party and suddenly hugged her and kissed her face, but in their culture, they did it to express their courtesy and affection.

Mr. Vinse tried to link his kiss to the Western cheek kissing, but his action was literally sexual harassment. Ji Nuan paused but didn’t say anything in the end.

She put the cell phone back in the bag, pushed the car door open as if nothing had happened, and said before she got off the car, “Thank you for today.”

With that, she closed the door.

The car window was rolled down, and Mr. Vinse looked at Ji Nuan and didn’t see any emotion on her face. “Are you angry?”

Ji Nuan answered, “Yes, a little, but we are both adults, and this kiss isn’t exactly sexual harassment. I can’t get mad at you. After all, you’ve helped me a lot over the years in London. Even if I don’t owe you, I should appreciate you.”

Mr. Vinse could tell from her tone that she seemed to be on the verge of anger, yet she was clearly controlling her anger. He got off the car and walked up to her. “Sorry, today you refused me too firmly. Every man has some desire to conquer. The more you resist, the more I want to approach you. I was being rude just now.”Read more chapter on novelhall.com

“It’s all right, but I’ve made it clear today. We’d better meet less in the future except for work.”

He apologized again, “Sorry, I can wait for you to cool down, but I hope we can still be friends. This won’t happen again.”

“It’s late. You should go home, Mr. Vinse.” Ji Nuan didn’t say much but had asked him to leave.

Mr. Vinse knew she was not making a fuss. She had a strong sense of principle when it came to relationships. If she could be easily wooed, she would have already had a lot of men surrounding her.

He had never transgressed the bounds for the last three years. Maybe it was because the stars were too beautiful tonight, or maybe he suddenly had the impulse, he kissed her in the cheek in the car, but he didn’t expect to be treated so coldly.

“Okay.” He said no more, giving her time to calm down. Before turning back to the car, he thought and turned back to look at Ji Nuan, who had turned and was about to leave. He wanted to say something more, but Ji Nuan had gone away without looking back.

Mr. Vinse looked at her back, sighing with a smile.

A woman who went abroad because of the failure of her previous marriage and had completely closed her heart was tough to conquer.

But he just couldn’t give up on her. Although he knew she wouldn’t accept him, the more he couldn’t get her, the more he liked her.

As Mr. Vinse drove away, Ji Nuan walked across the lawn below the apartment and the beautiful, leafy park that the property had decorated. She looked at the time; it was nearly eleven o ‘clock at night.

No wonder no one was around at the moment. Hearing Mr. Vinse’s car leaving, she glanced back and caught a glimpse of a few cars parking on the spaces below the apartment. But she couldn’t see those cars’ models or license plates clearly in the dark and only spotted the faint outline of a familiar vehicle. But she didn’t think much and walked straight into the apartment building.

She went in only to find that it was dark inside.

Even the elevator had stopped.

She remembered that the lights in the neighborhood weren’t on. No wonder it was dark everywhere.

Ji Nuan stood at the door of the building and took out her cell phone to make a call to the property management, who told her that a group of construction workers accidentally broke a cable nearby during construction, so the surrounding neighborhoods had a sudden blackout at night.
