Chapter 42 - Is Being Reserved Any Good?

“Hey, are you the austere and cold professor I have always known? Why don’t you be reserved?” Su Han saw that she was so frank and blunt about the situation, it was such a surprise and so she couldn’t help herself but ask.

“Is being reserved any good? Any better than food?” Lu Jia’er was in a good mood and joked.

“Being reserved is not better than food but you can have Jin Xiangdong” Su Han punned.

“A writer tends to be biased!”Lu Jia’er said after she looked at Su Han and heard her speak..

“When a man pursues a woman, or vice versa, the ultimate goal is to be in complete harmony with each other in order to find a soul mate.” Su Han laughed.

“I just want to walk hand in hand with him for now. I haven’t thought that far ahead!” Lu Jia’er replied.

“You have kissed him, but you say that you only want to hold his hand and haven’t thought that far. Nobody would buy that kind of logic!” Su Han expressed her disbelief.

“I only kissed his face!” Lu Jia’er explained.

“That also counts as a kiss and you have to be responsible for it!” Su Han had a fair sense of justice and equality.

“I do want to be responsible for him!”Lu Jia’er replied before the scene recurred in her mind of her kissing Jin Xiangdong at noon. Lu Jia’er’s mouth naturally lifted into a small smile.

“Hey, your normal reserved demeanor is nowhere to be found!” Su Han expressed her wonder again. “Even if you think he is very special and love him at first sight, you must pay attention to the skills. You are a psychologist. You should be very clear about the love game between men and women. Don’t steal too much of the initiative. Otherwise his sense of conquering will not be fulfilled, even if your chase is successful!”

Su Han’s advice was good, but Lu Jia’er was not worried about it because she knew that Jin Xiangdong had had a good impression of her.

It turned out that Lu Jia’er’s intuition had been accurate. After the kiss she gave him, Jin Xiangdong was in a good mood for the entire day.

It was 10:30 at the moment. Jin Xiangdong was just leaving the home of Yuan Xin with Jin Shengping. Yuan Xin was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Science, his routine had always been regular, but he had forgotten the time when with his old friend, and even if he kept talking for a few more days, he would have felt even that was insufficient.

Jin Xiangdong gave Jin Shengping a ride. On the way to the hotel, Jin Shengping who was sitting in the back seat said, “It was a fruitful evening for you, wasn’t it!”

“Yeah!” he whispered. As a listener to a conversation between two of the top scientists tonight, he had gained a lot.

“In addition to your gains in professional knowledge, do you have other thoughts?” asked Jin Shengping.

Jin Xiangdong knew what Jin Shengping referred to. At tonight’s dinner, besides his father and the Yuan Xin couple, there was also Yuan Miaomiao, the granddaughter of Academician Yuan Xin.

“No!” Jin Xiangdong gave a forthright answer.

Jin Shengping fixed his gaze on the profile of Jin Xiangdong. Although it was dim inside the car it was easy for people to tell from only his outline that he was a handsome and compelling person.

“I noticed you were in a good mood tonight and I thought you were having ideas!”

“I felt good because I saw Academician Yuan Xin!” Jin Xiangdong explained. But this was actually an excuse. He knew very well the real reason.

“This arrangement by Academician Yuan Xin naturally suggests his expectations. If you are not interested, I will just let him know!”

“I am sorry for the trouble!” Jin Xiangdong curled his lips into a faint smile.

Jin Shengping glanced at him and his expression looked complicated. He was worried about Jin Xiangdong but he was similarly also confident in his son. It was a conundrum.
