Chapter 606: Dandelion’s Promise

When Jiang Chen walked out of the hospital building, it was already dark.

The air quality in Capital City was truly disappointing. The night sky seemed shrouded in a hazy layer, dull and gray. Despite this, the incessant honking of car horns and the countless lights that stretched beyond sight still showcased the prosperity of this national capital of Shenzhou.

"Your dad’s in good spirits, you don’t have to worry."

Without calling, Jiang Chen had simply sent that message to the grand dame.

Frankly, the conversation he had with Shi Zhenhua just now had given him much to think about.

The other man had started from scratch, and the ups and downs of his life were obviously beyond Jiang Chen’s comparison.

Their states of mind, too, were different.

The composure following a serious injury alone made him feel ashamed.

After sending the message, Jiang Chen glanced at the time. It was past seven. Gathering his emotions, he was about to call Dang Fangqing when he inadvertently noticed a friend’s circle post.

Upon opening it, he saw a status update that Tong Dan had posted just half an hour ago.

Although they had rarely met since graduating high school, they were old friends and naturally had each other’s contact information.

The post had a photo attached, showing her and Fang Qing, with a location tag below: Pleasure Square’s "Beneath the Peaches and Plums" music restaurant.

Tong Dan was also in Capital City?

Jiang Chen felt this was quite coincidental, so he didn’t call Fang Qing. Instead, after noting down the address, he tucked his phone away and walked out of the hospital.

"No wonder you’re so pretty, turns out Miss Tong is a flight attendant."

In the bustling music restaurant with a band performing,

Ding He, quite famous in the industry, showed no haughtiness of a prominent lawyer as he took the initiative to toast Tong Dan.

As a service worker, Tong Dan was naturally not a shy and reserved person. She became acquainted with these social elites from Tianhe Law Firm in no time. And now, toasted by Ding He, she graciously lifted her cocktail with an elegant smile, "Lawyer Ding, in front of Fang Qing, I’m definitely not worthy of the word ’pretty.’ From our student days till now, whenever I’m by her side, I’m just a backup singer."

Fang Qing chuckled and shook her head.

Ding He also smiled wryly, looking at his handpicked assistant, "You can’t say that. I think both of you have your charms; you’re both great beauties."

Tong Dan’s face beamed with smiles, presenting a completely different façade from when she was with Jiang Chen. She sipped her colorful cocktail, "Lawyer Ding, even though I know you’re just being polite, I’m still very happy."

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Fang Qing nudged her in the arm, signaling her to tone it down a bit,

Ding He didn’t mind at all, being quite approachable, "Miss Tong, us lawyers never tell lies."

Maybe it was the atmosphere, or maybe it was the calming presence Ding He emanated, but Tong Dan rebutted without hesitation, "Lawyer Ding, I can’t agree with that statement. In my view, lawyers love to lie the most."

Fang Qing couldn’t help but shoot her a warning look.

Ding He continued without any hard feelings, showing no sign of displeasure, instead laughing heartily, "Miss Tong, such an opinion is nothing but a naked bias. Do you think Fang Qing looks like someone who would lie?"

Tong Dan didn’t look at Fang Qing, gently swirling her cocktail in the glass, murmuring to herself, "She does, but she’s so bad at lying that she can’t fool anyone, only herself."

Because the band was singing, and the nearly full restaurant was too noisy, no one heard her words clearly.

"Lawyer Ding, you have quite the eye."

She broke through the subject again.

Not understanding why she said that, Ding He, who had started a large law firm in his early thirties and was considered successful at a young age, asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because you chose Fang Qing as your assistant. You have an eye for talent. Fang Qing will surely become a top-tier lawyer in the future," Tong Dan asserted confidently.

Fang Qing herself felt her face heating up.

Ding He nodded with a smile, "I think so too."

"Lawyer Ding..."

Others from the law firm came over to toast,

Tong Dan bumped Fang Qing’s arm.

"What are you doing?"

"Is he married?" Tong Dan nodded toward the departing Ding He.

"What do you need to know that for?"

Fang Qing was caught off guard.

"If he’s not married, then wouldn’t you have a chance? Look, he’s successful, talented, and has a great personality. Moreover, as your senior at work, he can offer you a lot of help. Tch, he’s practically Prince Charming bestowed by heaven for you..."

Caught completely off guard, Fang Qing quickly lowered her voice to scold, "What nonsense are you talking about! If you’ve had too much to drink, just go back to the hotel and sleep it off!"

"This is hardly any alcohol at all; I’m not drunk," Tong Dan continued, "Fang Qing, I think you should consider it. You’re his assistant now. How does the saying go? ’Fortune favors the close at hand,’ right?"

"Close your own fortune!"

Fang Qing rarely swore.

Unperturbed, Tong Dan went on, "Let’s talk seriously—has he married yet? A successful man like him must be targeted by many, but you never know, he might have high standards."

"Can you stop talking about this? If anyone hears, how will I continue to work at Tianhe? Do you want me to get fired?"

"Don’t worry, they can’t hear us."

Tong Dan really stopped pursuing the topic, looking towards the stage where the band was performing.

"Fang Qing, we haven’t sung together in a long time. How about we..."

"If you want to go, go by yourself."

Fang Qing interrupted before she could finish.

"You work so hard, you should really relax when it’s time to relax, let’s go."
