Jiang Tang: ?
System: Hehe, it still can’t give up on slacking off.
Jiang Tang frowned, “Tongtong, I think being late for a date is really bad.”
“Besides, Shen Xiunian is very punctual. He really dislikes people who aren’t on time. Deliberately being half an hour late—I just can’t accept that.”
The System said, “Tangtang, don’t worry. He has such good manners. You’re his girlfriend; even if he gets angry, he won’t just abandon you and leave.”
Jiang Tang still couldn’t accept it, “Tongtong, I can’t accept this. Shen Xiunian is so busy. To make time for today’s date, he worked all night in the lab yesterday and slept there. And I’m supposed to be deliberately late? That’s just too much.”
“Just because he has good manners, does that mean we can bully him like this?”
“I absolutely cannot accept it.”
Jiang Tang was firm. She felt this was a matter of principle.
The System immediately apologized, “Tangtang, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have suggested such behavior.”
Jiang Tang was very grateful to the System. She was grateful it brought her here, where she could see her mother.
She was also grateful for the System’s company, which made her feel less afraid.
She said, “Tongtong, it’s okay. I’ll just put on heavy makeup.”
System: “Yay!”
Jiang Tang sat in front of the mirror for 20 minutes, painstakingly applying heavy makeup.
After finishing her makeup, she started choosing a dress. Since it was raining today, she was worried it might be a bit cold, so she chose a nun-style black long-sleeved dress, paired it with black Mary Jane shoes, and carried a small black handbag.
All set.
Just then, Song Xu and the other two returned with takeout.
As soon as they entered the dorm, they saw Jiang Tang and froze, then started screaming.
“Ah!”
Jiang Tang was stunned, “What’s wrong? Does this outfit not look good on me?”
“Oh my god! You look stunning!”
“Tangtang, you’re like a villainous heiress who just stepped out of a manga!”
“My goodness! How are you so beautiful?”
Jiang Tang had straightened her black curly hair.
Jet-black, straight hair with bangs, full eyeliner accentuating her fox-like eyes, and bright red lips—she looked absolutely gorgeous!
The black dress she wore was tight on top and loose at the bottom, perfectly highlighting her waistline and showcasing her figure’s advantages, while also giving off a cool, elegant aura.
When she wasn’t speaking, she was the epitome of a villainous heiress!
But as soon as she spoke, she became adorably cold-faced!
Song Xu and the other two were going crazy.
“Tangtang, do you know how beautiful you are? So beautiful and cute!”
Jiang Tang was about to get shy again.
Wen Nian clutched her chest, “Tangtang, please don’t act shy while maintaining your villainous heiress persona. I can’t handle it!”
Zhou Nuo shouted, “Tangtang, I’m completely mesmerized by you!”
Song Xu even suggested, “Tangtang, when you go downstairs later, don’t smile at Shen Xiunian. Just give him a cold look!”
Jiang Tang worried, “Won’t he get angry?”
“He’ll love it!” Song Xu screamed, “He’d probably want you to step on him!”
Jiang Tang shyly lowered her eyes, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Song Xu and the other two collapsed in unison, “The villainous heiress being shy is too lethal.”
The System also screamed, “Tangtang, you’re so beautiful!”
Jiang Tang: Huh? This didn’t seem to be the effect she wanted from wearing heavy makeup?
At 17:50, Shen Xiunian’s Rolls-Royce stopped below Jiang Tang’s dormitory building.
Song Xu noticed first, “Tangtang, your Shen Xiunian is here.”
Jiang Tang stood in front of the mirror for one last look, then headed out.
Song Xu and the other two watched her leave, still cheering and shouting excitedly.
Jiang Tang smiled, then remembered Song Xu’s advice and stopped.
She had to keep a cold face!
She sent a message to Shen Xiunian: “Are you here?”
Shen Xiunian: “Yes, I’m here. No need to rush.”
Jiang Tang: “I’m coming down now.”
The thought that Shen Xiunian had stayed up all night working in the lab yesterday just to make time for tonight’s date made Jiang Tang not want to waste a single second.
Upon receiving the message, Shen Xiunian opened the car door and stepped out.
Just then, a sports car screeched to a halt with a showy drift, parking not far from Shen Xiunian’s car.
Jiang Chiye rested his left arm on the car window, looking utterly carefree.
He was here to apologize.
When he saw Shen Xiunian, he paused slightly while opening the door, then smoothed his hair and stepped out.
Shen Xiunian wasn’t all that impressive, after all.
Just as he was about to walk over, he heard the sound of quick, light footsteps.
Jiang Tang had run over.
She spotted Shen Xiunian at once, and the moment she saw him, she couldn’t help raising her eyebrows slightly.
Today, Shen Xiunian was wearing a black silk shirt, a pair of frameless glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. His dark hair was parted and swept back, revealing a clear forehead—he looked like an exceptionally intelligent yet rakish gentleman.
Tall with long legs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist, the silk shirt draped over him with remarkable texture.
It was enough to make one’s imagination run wild.
That was… why did he button it up so tightly?
He should have undone two, or even three buttons, revealing his well-defined chest muscles and the faint outline of his abs.
He should have rolled up his sleeves to show off the fine muscles of his forearms.
It was as if he was tempting Jiang Tang to undo his buttons.
Jiang Tang pressed her lips together. She was indeed thoroughly tempted.
She had no self-control at all.
Deliberately keeping a cold expression, she walked step by step toward Shen Xiunian, looked up at him, and said nothing.
