Chapter 1375: Chapter 524: First Date with Tong Xin (Extended Chapter)

He suddenly realized that he probably shouldn’t have provoked her just now. She had managed to adjust her emotions, and he disturbed her again. Although she appeared strong, she must be feeling utterly overwhelmed inside.

So he apologized profusely over the phone.

However, Chu Yi still refused to forgive him and hurled a torrent of insults at him before abruptly hanging up.

Zhang Jingdong was quite pleased with the tirade Chu Yi directed at her ex-husband, so he rewarded her with a big bottle of Life One.

After tidying up a bit, Zhang Jingdong helped wipe Chu Yi’s lips and said, "Wow, I didn’t expect your eloquence to be that good. You didn’t use a single curse word yet attacked from every angle with precision and ferocity!"

Chu Yi glared at Zhang Jingdong with embarrassment and delight: "Why do you give such good lectures? If I didn’t curse him fiercely, I would have definitely slipped up!"

Zhang Jingdong smirked, "How about it, isn’t this class much fresher and happier compared to the ones I’ve given you at home before?"

Chu Yi nodded spontaneously, "Yes, indeed!"

"Though it was a bit concerning at the beginning, it has been particularly fun, especially... you know."

Zhang Jingdong moved his right hand down, brushing against Chu Yi’s slender legs, "Which day are you usually less busy at work each week?"

"Generally, Wednesday and Thursday."

"Alright, from now on, I’ll pick one of these days each week to come over and give you some tutoring during break time, adding a bit of joy to your weekly work."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi immediately forgot all about her embarrassment and worries, her face lit up: "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you about such matters?"

"...Honey, you’re the best!"

Zhang Jingdong leaned in and planted a heavy kiss on Chu Yi’s pretty face, then said, "Alright, go back to work. I’ll visit you at home another day."

"Okay!"

Chu Yi spoke and then gave Zhang Jingdong a quick kiss before getting out of the car, walking away, frequently looking back.

Safely back upstairs and confirming that no one had noticed earlier, Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and quietly returned to the office.

But as soon as she sat down, Liu Hui couldn’t resist saying, "Sister Chu, did something good happen to you? You seem so happy!"

Chu Yi’s heart instantly skipped a beat: "No... nothing happened, why?"

"You can’t hide it from us; it’s written all over your face... just be honest, did you get some news about getting into the headquarters?"

Chu Yi immediately relaxed and replied along that line of thought, "Don’t jump to conclusions. Until the last moment, anything is possible in this matter." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Then Chu Yi had a chat with them, feeling happy and continued working.

Occasionally glancing at the ring on her hand, a genuine smile appeared on her lips.

...

As Zhang Jingdong saw Chu Yi completely disappear from view, he drove to Meixiang Residence.

He didn’t get out of the car but took out his phone to call He Jieyu.

It rang for a full four times before it was finally answered on the other side, and the voice was somewhat cold: "Hello, who is it?"

Zhang Jingdong chuckled and then directly hung up.

He raised his hand and stared at his watch.

When the second hand completed a full circle, sure enough, his phone rang.

He waited until the ringtone was almost finished before answering, yet he didn’t speak first.

He Jieyu paused for a few seconds on the other side, then said playfully, "Zhang Jingdong, you... you’re so hateful, you did that on purpose!"

"You didn’t come see me off that day, and afterwards you still didn’t call me or even send an apology text. You’re... you’re too much!"

Zhang Jingdong casually asked, "Then I’d like to ask, have you noticed the black card I sent you?"

"Black card? What black card?"

"Isn’t there a blue backpack among your luggage?"

"Yes, what’s up with it?"

"Find it now, then open the outer pocket. There’s a zippered inner pocket, see if there’s a black card inside."

He Jieyu happened to be at her rented place, hearing this, she immediately got off the bed, found the blue backpack, and opened the outer pocket, then unzipped the inner pocket.

Indeed, there was actually a black card inside!

He Jieyu suddenly realized something, feeling a mixture of shock and joy, "Did you secretly put this card here?"

"What else could it be?"

Zhang Jingdong suddenly raised his voice at this moment: "The reason I didn’t go see you off was that I didn’t want to say goodbye to you, didn’t want to see you cry, and didn’t want to cry myself, because I hope you’re always happy when you’re with me."

"Plus, I thought doing something concrete would be better than some empty gestures. You’re short on money, so I’ll make sure you never have to worry about it again!"

"This card is a secondary one from mine, with a monthly limit of five million. That should be enough for you, right?"

Upon hearing this, all the resentment He Jieyu had been feeling towards Zhang Jingdong vanished, replaced by overwhelming gratitude: "Honey, I knew you loved me, you’re so wonderful, I love you! I truly love you so, so much!"

Zhang Jingdong immediately brightened up: "Still angry?"

"Not angry, not angry... not angry at all! Honey, I love you!"

"So whose fault is this issue then?"

"It’s my fault, my fault... all my fault!"

"It’s my fault for not realizing the surprise hubby had specially prepared, causing this misunderstanding. Honey, I’ve learned my lesson, will you forgive me?"

Zhang Jingdong smirked: "You’ve been with me for so long, surely you know verbal apologies don’t hold much sway with me?"
