Chapter 1163: As Long as You Like

“Haha, Jing’er is indeed perceptive and clear-minded. No need for formalities with me, just call me Brother Yi.” Ming Qianyi laughed heartily. He truly had a liking for such straightforward and cheerful girls.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony, Brother Yi. I’ll still need you to trouble yourself with my affairs.” Han Jing smiled, but secretly thought that Ming Qianyi was really treating himself as one of her own.

“When did A Wu meet such a wonderful person like Jing’er? Why didn’t you introduce her to me sooner? It makes me feel like we’ve met too late!” Ming Qianyi said as he invited Xia Wu and Han Jing in, whispering discreetly to Xia Wu.

Xia Wu chuckled softly, “I’m afraid to introduce you to anyone; you’ve got too much mischief!”

Ming Qianyi repeatedly protested his innocence and turned to Han Jing with a serious face, promising, “Jing’er, don’t listen to A Wu’s nonsense. I don’t fall in love at first sight with just any girl!”

Han Jing raised an eyebrow lightly, “Oh? Could it be that Brother Yi frequently falls in love at first sight with young ladies?”

Ming Qianyi quickly shook his head, “If Jing’er misunderstands me, I would be sad.”

Next to him, Xia Wu rubbed his forehead, “Qian Yi, we really do have serious business.”

Fortunately, it was Han Jing, for any other girl would have been swept off her feet by Ming Qianyi’s smooth talk long ago.

But Han Jing, always smiling, wasn’t the least bit moved by Ming Qianyi’s obvious and subtle sweet words.

Rumor had it that nine out of ten people who did business with Ming Qianyi ended up losing out, yet they still wanted to do business with him, unable to resist his sweet-talking charm.

Instead of taking the two to the living room, Ming Qianyi led them to the lakeside pavilion in the garden. Various snacks were prepared there, surrounded by a gentle breeze and a floral aroma. Just this comfortable scene alone made one feel exceptionally relaxed.

It gave the impression of not coming for business, but rather for a leisurely garden visit.

As soon as they sat down, a sweet aroma and the scent of tea wafted over, immediately tempting one’s appetite.

For a foodie like Han Jing, such temptation was far more alluring than Ming Qianyi’s charming words.

So, not one to stand on ceremony, Han Jing casually picked up a piece of pastry and popped it into her mouth.

Ah, soft and tasty, sweet but not cloying, it melted in the mouth with a faint fragrance. Eating such a pastry was simply an enjoyment.

Ever since she left Hanjing City years ago, she hadn’t tasted such exquisite pastries.

The only thought in Han Jing’s mind at this moment was, well, she should have brought Xiao Xue.

Of course, she didn’t forget to compliment him, “Brother Yi, these pastries are really well made. Can I take some with me when I leave?”

“Haha, since Jing’er likes them, I’ll have to reward the chef at my residence today. Not to mention taking some, if Jing’er wants to come and enjoy them every day for a lifetime, as long as you like, I’ll have someone make whatever you want!” Ming Qianyi smiled, looking at Han Jing with affection.

Yet Han Jing, engrossed in her eating, completely ignored Ming Qianyi’s gaze, still eating and praising, “Brother Yi, you’re generous. My daughter loves them; please let me take more for her. She’ll be thrilled!”

Next to them, Xia Wu finally couldn’t hold back, suppressing laughter but his shoulders shook uncontrollably a few times.
