Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Eat a Clove of Garlic to Calm the Nerves

"Fang Tong, are you here for dinner too?"

Lin Qian stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I just passed the Fu Group’s spokesperson audition, so my agent invited some of the Fu Group’s top executives to dinner to properly thank them."

Fang Tong’s face was full of joy, radiating like a breath of spring.

"Really? That’s fantastic, congratulations!"

Lin Qian sincerely congratulated Fang Tong, as Yin Moran’s handsome face once again flashed through her mind.

Would that man come here today?

It seemed that just thinking about him settled her heart in an inexplicable way.

"Lin Qian, what’s with that look? You’re gazing at me so shyly; are you really planning on making a move on me?"

Fang Tong teased Lin Qian with a flirtatious wink.

Lin Qian was taken aback and her face turned red again.

"Cough, Ms. Fang the beauty, mind your words and actions. You’re going to be famous in the future; don’t spout nonsense and ruin your image."

"Hmph, I only behave so unrestrainedly in front of you. So, are you going to expose me in public?"

Fang Tong tilted Lin Qian’s delicate chin up with a playful air.

Lin Qian slapped Fang Tong’s slender hand away with a smack and glared at her with annoyance.

This woman, why is she so improper!

"Ouch, that hurts! I’ll stop teasing you now, you’re way too serious."

Fang Tong pouted and rubbed her fingers, asking, "Do you have a dinner engagement today too?"

"Yeah, I am actually feeling quite bothered."

Lin Qian thought of Liu Yang in the private room and couldn’t help but complain.

"What’s wrong? Seems like there’s an issue with this dinner?"

Fang Tong’s smile vanished as she became more serious.

"I don’t know if there will be a problem, but I have to entertain a man."

Lin Qian briefly explained the situation.

After listening, Fang Tong appeared thoughtful.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes moved as her lips slightly curled, and she pulled Lin Qian outside.

Lin Qian was puzzled, "Fang Tong, where are you taking me?"

"To give you some advice."

"...."

Two minutes later, near the kitchen, Lin Qian swallowed hard as she looked at the garlic in Fang Tong’s hand.

This was Fang Tong’s advice!

To have her gulp down garlic!!

"What are you waiting for? Eat a couple to calm your nerves."

Fang Tong peeled two cloves of garlic with her slender fingers and presented them to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian took the garlic cloves hesitantly and looked at Fang Tong, "Do I really have to eat this?"

Eat a couple to calm the nerves, but whose nerves are being calmed here!

In any case, she was the one shocked!

"You don’t have to eat it if you’re not worried about men misbehaving with you."

Fang Tong tilted her head and spoke slowly.

Alright!

To prevent any misconduct from Liu Yang, she would eat it!

Lin Qian closed her eyes, threw the two garlic cloves into her mouth, and chewed and swallowed.

Her pretty face immediately scrunched up.

So disgusting!

"Look at you, acting as if I’m feeding you poison."

Fang Tong couldn’t help but giggle, throwing the remaining garlic into a nearby trash can, as she escorted Lin Qian back the way they had come.

"It is really nasty."

Lin Qian stuck out her tongue, complaining to Fang Tong.

"Ugh, keep your distance from me."

Fang Tong quickly covered her nose and mouth, dodging to the side, only her beautiful eyes visible as she looked at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian laughed at her reaction, quickly stepped forward to breathe on her, "What are you dodging for? Are we still friends or what?"

"Darling, earn some karma! Do you know how stinky your breath is right now? It could knock a cow out! Get away from me!"

Fang Tong hurried forward, almost breaking into a run.

Lin Qian was inwardly delighted, "Slow down, wait for me."

"No, my agent is rushing me, I need to get back to the private room quickly. Text me when you’re done, and if there’s any issue, call me, got it?"

"Got it!"

Lin Qian felt a sweet satisfaction inside.

She was happy to have met Fang Tong, and even more grateful for the suggestion she had provided.

It seemed Fang Tong must have tested this method early on, knowing how to protect herself in all kinds of situations.

This woman, indeed, was her lucky star.

Lin Qian stood still in front of the private room, took a deep breath.

The scent of garlic wafted to her nose, and Lin Qian waved her hand in distaste, then chuckled.

See, even she could smell it. She hoped Liu Yang would keep his distance from her later and just quietly finish the meal.

Her smile slightly fading, Lin Qian opened the door and walked in.

Inside the private room, Liu Yang sat, utterly bored.

Finally seeing Lin Qian come in, he said with a feigned smile, "Miss Lin, I thought you stood me up."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Lin Qian sat down with easy grace and glanced at the table, noticing several dishes had been served, along with a bottle of white and a bottle of red wine.

Was he planning to drink with her?

Lin Qian sat silently, calmly waiting for Liu Yang to speak.

The layout of the private room wasn’t very large; Liu Yang sniffed and frowned, "What’s that smell?"

Why did he catch a strong scent of garlic?

And, it seemed like it was coming from Lin Qian!

Watching the disgust appear on Liu Yang’s face, Lin Qian snickered inside but put on an innocent face, "Manager Liu, does the room smell? Should we open a window for some air?"

As soon as Lin Qian spoke, a thick garlic smell engulfed him.

Liu Yang quickly covered his nose and leaned back, disbelief in his eyes.

"Lin Qian, what... What did you just eat?"

Lin Qian blinked her almond-shaped eyes and feigned embarrassment, "Sorry, Manager Liu. I just happened to bump into an acquaintance, who insisted on giving me a spoonful of garlic lobster. Is the smell too strong?"

Garlic lobster?

It’s like she ate garlic paste without the lobster!

Liu Yang stared hard at Lin Qian’s pretty face, staring into her clear eyes, and sneered coldly in his heart.

Truly a clever woman.

She must have deliberately eaten garlic to make herself unappealing to him, right?

Too bad, he hadn’t planned to do anything to her, but just...

Liu Yang, still covering his nose, said, "Miss Lin, have some drink later to wash away the taste in your mouth."

"Sure, Manager Liu, you prefer white liquor, right?"

"Hmm."

"Waiter, please open the bottle."

"Open both bottles."

Liu Yang instructed the waiter who brought in the dishes to help open both bottles of wine.

Lin Qian’s eyes twinkled, and she remained silent.

Once the waiter opened the bottles, she gestured for him to leave.

If Liu Yang wanted to drink with her, he’d have to endure the taste from her mouth.

A mischievous glint passed through Lin Qian’s eyes as she moved beside Liu Yang, pouring a glass of white liquor for him and a glass of red wine for herself.

With both glasses filled, Lin Qian held her drink and leaned towards Liu Yang with a flirtatious smile, "Manager Liu, do you intend to eat while holding your nose all evening?"

The woman’s voice was soft, her appearance exquisite; she would have been captivating if not for the odor.

Unfortunately...

A trace of annoyance flickered in Liu Yang’s eyes.

He glanced at Lin Qian and, holding his breath, removed his hand, "How could that be? Miss Lin, you really are..."

"Manager Liu, I’ll toast to you first; here’s to a successful collaboration."

Lin Qian leaned in again, blowing a breath towards Liu Yang’s nose.

That smell...

Liu Yang inhaled, and the foul odor filled his nostrils, his face twisted, almost gagging!
