Chapter 393: Chapter 0393: Selling Skills, Not Body

"Deal, as long as you score a perfect score on every English exam from now on, I promise I won’t nag you about sleeping,"

Li Wenxuan gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Heh, then why did you lecture me so much before?" Tang Ming said, grinning.

"You..."

Li Wenxuan immediately looked embarrassed.

"I’m going back to class!" Without waiting for Li Wenxuan to speak, Tang Ming ran outside, shouting without looking back:

"Dear, see you tonight, being a shield is my specialty!"

"This jerk, he sure gets into character quickly."

Li Wenxuan was caught between laughter and tears, then she started thinking about what clothes to buy for Tang Ming that evening.

Since the Flying Wolf Organization had recently disappeared, Tang Ming had relaxed his protection of Liu Mengting.

After school, Tang Ming asked Liu Mengting for a leave and left earlier.

"Meng Meng sister, do you think Tang Ming brother suddenly took leave to go on a date with Xia Wei’er?"

Li Xiaoli watched Tang Ming’s disappearing figure and speculated.

"I’m not sure, he didn’t say what he was going to do!"

Liu Mengting frowned, shaking her head doubtfully.

"Then let’s go find Xia Wei’er and suggest going to the snack street since we haven’t been there in a long time; that will keep her from spending time alone with Tang Ming brother, right?"

Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes and suggested with a smile.

"Good idea, I feel like having a cold drink."

Liu Mengting nodded repeatedly, and then the two girls went to find Xia Wei’er.

Little did they know, Tang Ming had already left the school in Li Wenxuan’s car, and the girls were tracking the wrong target.

Li Wenxuan, driving her red BMW, impatiently tapped the steering wheel, groaning:

"Catching the rush hour, the traffic is terrible."

"There’s still some time till six, why the rush?" Tang Ming leaned on the passenger seat and said lazily.

"I plan to get you a complete outfit first; otherwise, with the way you look now, you’ll definitely embarrass me there."

Li Wenxuan gave Tang Ming a disdainful look, helplessly saying, "Jack has been living abroad for years, mingling with the most fashionable nobility; he’ll definitely look down on you."

"What’s wrong with my attire?"

Tang Ming sat up dissatisfied, lifted his arm, and said, "This outfit cost me over a thousand dollars."

Hearing this, Li Wenxuan rolled her eyes, then started honking the horn like crazy.

An hour later, the two were still stuck in traffic, and Li Wenxuan was about to explode.

"Time’s almost up, it’s too late to buy clothes now, let’s just go to the hotel,"

Tang Ming checked the time and reminded her.

"Damn traffic, I’m afraid he won’t believe you’re my boyfriend looking like that."

Li Wenxuan sighed in frustration, "Because my taste can’t be that bad, to fall for a man wearing all mix-matched brands."

"Pfft, as if you’re all that noble," Tang Ming snorted, ripped all the tags off his clothes confidently and declared:

"Let’s head straight to the hotel; I have my ways to bluff through, and I guarantee it won’t embarrass you,"

Seeing Tang Ming’s gesture, Li Wenxuan nodded repeatedly.

"That works, rip off the label. Outsiders won’t tell it’s a mix-and-match brand, and hopefully, there won’t be any scoffing. Luckily, you’re good-looking, or I’d really be embarrassed."

"Don’t worry, I’m practically a professional at doing this," Tang Ming let out a chuckle and casually asked,

"Start by telling me about that admirer of yours. Knowing the enemy and yourself, you will never be imperiled."

"His real name is Yang Wei, but he now uses the foreign name Jack. Originally, his family was a Martial Arts Family from Songlan City. Later on, they moved overseas to expand. I met him when we were attending high school in Songlan City. After learning that I was going abroad for studies, he has been pursuing me ever since. But I’m not interested in him; unexpectedly, he has now pursued me here to Songlan City,"

Li Wenxuan quickly summarized the situation with Jack.

"Sounds like it won’t be too difficult; rest assured, he should be easy to handle."

Tang Ming smiled nonchalantly.

"You say that, but he has been abroad these years, gaining much broader perspective and insights. If you perform too poorly, he won’t believe you’re my boyfriend and won’t give up on me."

Li Wenxuan rubbed her temples with a headache and said with irritation, "That guy just loves showing off. Even the venue he chose for the dinner is the only upscale French steakhouse in Songlan City. Your English is good, but do you speak French?"

"A little bit."

Tang Ming gave a modest smile. Jokingly, he was a jack-of-all-trades when it came to languages, with Huaxia being his weakest.

"That’s good, at least we won’t embarrass ourselves ordering."

Li Wenxuan let out a sigh of relief.

"If that guy invited you using his birthday as an excuse, then there must be other people as well, right?"

Tang Ming asked with an intrigued tone.

"There is a bunch of our high school classmates too, although those who stayed in Songlan City aren’t very worldly. I guess Jack is purposely gathering everyone to flaunt his assets and stand out."

Li Wenxuan guessed uncertainly.

"Is the purpose of these adult gatherings just to one-up and show off to each other?"

Tang Ming scornfully curled his lip, then closed his eyes and said nothing more.

Just before six o’clock, Li Wenxuan and Tang Ming finally arrived at the fancy Falasi restaurant on Songlan City’s busy streets.

As soon as they entered, Tang Ming realized why Li Wenxuan said Jack liked to show off. Indeed, it was a pure French restaurant with waitstaff and receptionists all French-speaking fluent Huaxia. Anyone dining here surely needed to know a bit about French culture; otherwise, they’d be embarrassed to even enter. If these people couldn’t speak Huaxia, it would be awkward.

Li Wenxuan took a deep breath, hooked Tang Ming’s arm, and said,

"Let’s go, we’ll head to the private room."

"Hey, hey, shouldn’t there be some kind of compensation for you taking advantage of me like this?"

Tang Ming walked forward while protesting discontentedly.

"With a great beauty like me on your arm, don’t act like you’re at a loss here."

Li Wenxuan rolled her eyes at Tang Ming and snorted nasally, "Just perform well, and I’ll treat you to a meal later."

"Later? I only perform; I don’t sell out. What do you think you’re doing?"

Tang Ming immediately put on a guarded expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Wenxuan almost went up and slapped Tang Ming a few times, but the situation didn’t permit it, so she had to let it slide.

Following the waiter, Tang Ming and Li Wenxuan arrived at the door of the most luxurious private room in the hotel and gently pushed it open. The two entered the room, snuggled up to each other like a couple.

Inside the private room was a long crystal glass table already seated with more than a dozen men and women, the men sitting on the left side of the table and the women on the right, facing each other.
