Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits-Chapter 115 - 113: Bao Nan, can I pursue you?

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Tong’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she awkwardly coughed a few times.

"Since you’re here, let’s go in first."

She quickly turned around, not wanting Bao Nan to notice the change in her facial expression at that moment.

Bao Nan stood in place, stunned for a brief moment, thoughtfully watching her back, before finally following her.

"..."

Xia Qiao is indeed a woman with a rich history of romance.

Looking at the large bouquet of red roses on the table, Jiang Tong twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly.

TM!

Shouldn’t these kinds of things traditionally be given by guys to girls?

What’s this lousy Xia Qiao up to!

This is just too awkward, isn’t it? Doesn’t this blatantly reveal her intention to pounce on Bao Nan?

What if it scares him and he runs away?

Thinking this, she swiftly placed the roses on the ground.

A card fell out from the flowers, and the heading nearly made Jiang Tong fly over to beat Xia Qiao up.

To my beloved sweet little Nan

Jiang Tong’s brow furrowed rapidly, clutching the card unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Until she heard Bao Nan’s voice, she hurriedly tossed the card onto the chair and then sat down hurriedly.

A reserved and graceful smile once again appeared on her face.

"You’re here, sit anywhere, I’ve already ordered the dishes."

Bao Nan responded with a gentle "Hmm", gracefully sitting opposite her.

Seeing him seated, Jiang Tong started to become flustered, only able to sit there blankly, wondering how to start the conversation.

After a moment of silence, the waiter came in with the dishes.

All the dishes were ordered by Xia Qiao, among them was a dish of spicy boiled beef, but since Bao Nan couldn’t eat spicy food, and Jiang Tong was having her period, this dish was left aside by both of them.

"Do you think these dishes are delicious?"

Jiang Tong took a deep breath, wearing a bashful smile, intending to use this to start the conversation.

Seeing her ask like this, Bao Nan naturally wouldn’t reject her wish, so he smiled slightly, "Delicious."

As long as it’s with you, even poison is delicious.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong furrowed her brows and exhaled a breath.

After a heavy internal struggle, she finally spoke.

"Bao Nan, actually, I invited you over for another reason."

"Is there something you need my help with?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tong shook her head, "Not that, it’s..."

Watching Jiang Tong stammer, her expression constantly changing.

Bao Nan slightly furrowed his brows, a tremble in his heart, his chopsticks gradually tightening in his grip.

He was scared.

He was really scared.

He feared that what Jiang Tong was going to tell him today was that they shouldn’t have any further contact.

Just as he was letting his mind wander, Jiang Tong spoke again.

"Bao Nan, I’ve thought about this for a long time, and that is — I like you."

Saying these words, Jiang Tong clearly felt relieved.

While Bao Nan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief and shock.

Jiang Tong smiled again, "You must be very shocked too, and now you don’t know how to respond, but that’s okay. You don’t need to ponder why I’ve fallen for you, because you’re more than worthy."

"I’ve been wondering why I’ve been acting so strangely recently, if it’s because I like you, then it all makes sense."

"There are 100 ways to be sweet: eating candy, cake, and thinking about you 98 times a day. Bao Nan, I really like you."

"So after saying so much, Bao Nan, can I pursue you?"
