Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Xinghe slowly drove while looking at the breakfast shops along the road. He asked Jiahe, "Which

breakfast shop is better?"

Jiahe was still thinking about Shirley asking her for Xinghe's WeChat. She answered honestly without

thinking, "These roadside breakfast shops aren't worthy of your style."

Xinghe frowned. "What did you say?"

"Ah?" Jiahe finally came to her senses and quickly said, "You're such a high-class successful person.

You should go to a seven-star hotel for breakfast. Those roadside shops are very unhygienic. I'm afraid

your stomach can't take it."

Xinghe's expression suddenly darkened. "Why can't I go there?"

Xinghe parked the car and said indifferently, "Get out."

Jiahe was in a daze. Xinghe was indeed Hades Jiang. She did not even provoke him, but he became

unhappy!

After getting out of the car, Jiahe fawned him. "The wontons in that shop are delicious. Shall we go to

eat there?"

Xinghe pursed his lips. He ignored her and walked toward the shop Jiahe pointed to, and Jiahe

followed in a hurry.

The breakfast shop on the roadside was overcrowded, and many people came to have breakfast early

in the morning.

Jiahe often came here for breakfast, so she quickly took a seat and said, "Dr. Jiang, what do you want

to eat? You sit here. I'll buy it for you."

Xinghe did not appreciate it at all. He pressed her shoulders to make her sit down. "Wait here. I'll go

buy it."

Jiahe smiled. Hades Jiang is quite good at taking care of girls!

"Dr. Jiang, I want a bowl of wontons."

Xinghe walked to the cash register and queued up.

Jiahe looked at that tall man in a fancy suit and sighed. "He's such a handsome and outstanding man.

Even if he's a pervert, girls will still fall in love with him."

When Xinghe bought breakfast and returned, he gave a bowl of wontons to her. Jiahe looked at the

wontons and started eating. She did not eat much of the Siu Mai that Shirley bought her, so she was

hungry now.

Soon, the waiter served them the steamed dumplings. The waiter said, "New Year is coming, and

there's a dumpling with red dates. If you eat it, your wishes will come true."

Jiahe found it because red dates would usually appear in fried dumplings. She did not expect

soup dumplings to work.

Xinghe never talked while eating, so Jiahe consciously did not talk. The delicious food was enough to

keep her mouth shut.

Just when Jiahe bit a dumpling and got scalded by the soup inside, Xinghe suddenly asked, "You have

been living with Shirley since you moved out of college?"

Jiahe let out a low cry and touched her burned lips. She frowned and answered Xinghe, "Yes, the rent

in North City is so expensive. I can't afford to live alone. So I have to find someone to share the rent."

Xinghe suddenly reached out. "Is it hot?"

He touched her lips and made her heart beat faster. She stared at him blankly.

Xinghe frowned slightly and said gently. "I won't grab them. Eating fast will cause indigestion."

Jiahe blushed slightly. She pushed his hand away, lowered her head, and ate the wontons silently. She

muttered, "I just want to eat the dumplings with the red dates."

She was not superstitious but thought it was a good omen. She wished to graduate and then stay in the

hospital to work smoothly.

Finally, Jiahe successfully ate the dumplings with red dates.

When they left the breakfast shop, Jiahe asked, "Why do you order dumplings if you don't like them?"

Xinghe did not eat any of them. She ate them all so as not to waste them.

Xinghe suddenly stopped walking and looked at her. "Who told you that I don't like dumplings?"

"But you just now..."

Jiahe seemed to realize something and was stunned.

Xinghe bent down slightly, looked at her, and asked, "But what did I do just now?"

Jiahe bit her lips. He did not eat a single dumpling just now. He wanted to make her eat the dumpling

with red dates.

Jiahe did not speak.

Xinghe came closer. "Why don't you say anything?"

Xinghe stared at her glistening lips. Her lips were more beautiful than the lips of those women who

specially put on lipstick.

"Xinghe, I don't like ambiguity. I know you won't like me. Ah..."

Xinghe suddenly kissed her lips. He was domineering and uncompromising, which made her unable to

back down.

When Jiahe reacted and wanted to struggle, Xinghe let go of her. He stared at her and said, "I don't like

ambiguity even more."

He wanted to be her boyfriend publicly, not to be with her as Chi Jun in front of her parents.

After saying that, Xinghe got into the car.

Jiahe was baffled and did not understand what Xinghe meant. She stood in a daze until Xinghe

lowered the car window and said coldly, "If you don't get in the car, I'll leave you here and go to the

hospital."

Jiahe glared at him silently and got into the car.

Hmph! He took advantage of me but started to be cold-faced as if I owed him! The one who should be

angry is me! Why did he kiss me without my permission? All men are b*stards!

She cursed Xinghe in her heart while pinching her hands.

When they arrived at the hospital's parking lot, Xinghe leaned over. "I can't hear you scolding me in my

heart."

His haughty gaze told her he would not hear her even if she scolded him. She could scold him if she

dared to.

At the hospital, Jiahe was in a daze all morning. Her mind was full of that inexplicable kiss.

She touched her lips and felt distraught.

"Hey!"

Ms. Zhao suddenly patted Jiahe from behind and looked at her ambiguously. "You're standing here in a

daze! Are you thinking about love? Be careful that Dr. Jiang will come and catch you!"

"I'm not thinking of love!"

Jiahe left with an annoyed expression.

"Hey! Did she eat bombs? What's wrong with thinking about love? It's a normal emotional need of

human beings. Her reaction was so big. Wait. Did I guess right? Jiahe! Do you fall in love with the male

doctor in any department?"
