Chen Chaoyue's face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly. Jiang Jiewen's actions had humiliated him; his million-dollar sports car was overshadowed by someone else's electric vehicle.
The classmates of Jiang Chen were equally astonished. The unattainable Jiang Jiewen had actually gotten into Jiang Chen's electric car, which was completely unexpected.
Especially Qi Mu, Wang Yong, and Wu Qianyi, who were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out.
“Wow, how does Jiang Chen know Jiang Jiewen?”
“I’ve never seen Jiang Chen approach Jiang Jiewen in middle school. They shouldn’t have known each other back then, right?”
“How could they not know each other? Who wouldn’t recognize a beauty like Jiang Jiewen? But back then, Jiang Chen was always under Lin Jingzhu’s watchful eye; how could he dare to approach Jiang Jiewen? However, I heard that Lin Jingzhu and Jiang Jiewen are friends and get along well.”
“Oh, that makes sense. If Lin Jingzhu and Jiang Jiewen are good friends, then I guess Jiang Chen must have known Jiang Jiewen for a long time; he just didn’t tell us. By the way, how did Lin the Beautiful end up dumping Jiang Chen?”
“That guy didn’t even get into college; of course Lin the Beautiful would dump him. But it looks like Beauty Jiang actually likes Jiang Chen. He never mentioned Jiang Jiewen to us; he kept it well hidden.”
The three of them immediately erupted in chatter. Usually low-key, Jiang Chen unexpectedly stole the spotlight today, drawing more attention than Chen Chaoyue with his sports car.
Jiang Jiewen sat behind Jiang Chen in the electric car, initially holding onto his shirt but gradually testing the waters to see if she could wrap her arms around him.
“Are you cold?” Jiang Chen suddenly asked.
“Uh, no, not cold at all,” Jiang Jiewen quickly replied. The weather was nice today; the sun was high in the sky and the dry air was far from chilly. Besides, her heart was racing with excitement, making her oblivious to any chill.
Because of Jiang Chen's sudden question, she hesitated to reach out and hold him again and instead settled for holding onto his shirt.
“Jiang Chen, it’s been a while! Especially these past two years; I thought you wouldn’t come to the gathering today,” Jiang Jiewen said as she tried to make conversation.
“I’ve been in seclusion for the past two years,” Jiang Chen casually explained.
“Oh.” Since Jiang Jiewen had kept in touch with both Jiang Chen and Lin Jingzhu, she was well aware of his capabilities and wasn’t too surprised by his mention of seclusion.
Ten minutes later, as they arrived at the entrance of Golden Qilin Hotel, Jiang Jiewen felt a twinge of regret for not taking the chance to hug Jiang Chen.
Most others had also arrived. No matter how fast Jiang Chen's little electric scooter was, it couldn’t compete with a car. Chen Chaoyue drove his sports car right up to Jiang Chen, making his intentions clear: “See? I’m driving a sports car while you’re on an electric bike. You think you can compete with me for girls?”
Jiang Chen ignored Chen Chaoyue’s provocation and walked into the hotel lobby with Jiang Jiewen. The hotel restaurant was spacious enough to accommodate not just two classes but even four without feeling cramped.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn’t even glance at him made Chen Chaoyue increasingly displeased. However, given the occasion, he couldn’t explode with anger and instead sulked into the hotel with a grim expression.
“Jiang Chen, after we finish eating, can we find a place to sit and talk?” Jiang Jiewen asked hopefully.
“Sure,” Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
Seeing that he had agreed, a smile broke out on Jiang Jiewen’s delicate face, her dimples appearing as joy radiated from her expression.
