"A thousand or eight hundred?"
Ethan Jiang chuckled. "Is that enough to get by?"
"Should be enough."
Tina Shen felt a little embarrassed.
But she had no choice during her internship period.
"Do you have a car?" Ethan Jiang asked.
"Emmmm... no." Tina Shen answered honestly.
"What kind of car do you like?" he continued.
"What kind of car do I like?"
Tina Shen was a bit confused. "What do you mean?"
"You see."
Ethan Jiang pointed to the sports car in the garage. "Lamborghini Aventador, limited edition. Do you like it?"
Tina Shen: ???
"It's yours." Ethan Jiang spoke calmly.
Tina Shen: ……
"Do you have a house?" Ethan Jiang asked with a smile.
Tina Shen shook her head, still stunned.
She hadn't even recovered from what he said about the car.
A sports car—he just gave it to me?
This extravagant tone, why did it feel so familiar?
Was it like something from a novel?
So generous?
Is this guy some sort of "weirdo"?
"I'll give it to you." Ethan Jiang smiled.
You're an "alien," aren't you? Tina Shen looked at him with a new kind of disbelief.
She was completely thrown off by Ethan Jiang's behavior.
"Let's get back to the topic."
Ethan Jiang looked at the still-dazed Tina Shen. "Do you still think 28 is old?"
So you've been waiting for me here, huh?
Taking a deep breath, Tina Shen wanted to shout: "Just say you're old, what's wrong with that?"
But…
He really gave a lot!
After a long pause.
"Sorry."
Tina Shen shook her head, turned, and walked toward the villa's front gate.
It wasn't that she was acting aloof.
As a time traveler, Tina Shen could have been rich and living a luxurious life long ago.
She even had a system.
Forget about the sports car and the house.
What was the point of giving her more?
From the moment she arrived in this world, Tina Shen had already decided to abandon the seemingly luxurious but ultimately dull life of the wealthy...
Ethan Jiang stared at Tina Shen's back, both surprised and incredulous.
Although money wasn't everything, at his current status, he knew very well.
There were very few problems that money couldn't solve.
Like this young lady, for example.
Sometimes, a man's curiosity is powerful.
The more they don't understand something, the more they want to figure it out.
"Are you really just leaving like that?"
Ethan Jiang changed tactics, no longer being forceful. His voice softened, like that of a shy boy.
Sure enough, Tina Shen stopped in her tracks.
She was more likely to respond to a soft approach than a hard one.
Ethan Jiang's eyes lit up as if he'd discovered a new world.
His expression changed immediately, pouting as if he'd been wronged.
It was the look of someone who'd been upset but hadn't said anything.
Just staring at you with those eyes.
Sometimes, men were born actors!
When Tina Shen saw Ethan Jiang like this, she froze.
What's going on?
What kind of expression is this?
Did I owe you money or something?
"What exactly do you want?"
Tina Shen, unable to resist his gaze, finally relented.
"My mom keeps pressuring me to find a girlfriend and get married."
As he spoke, Ethan Jiang stopped pretending, looking genuinely somewhat aggrieved, as he turned his gaze to the garden's flowers.
"And then?"
Tina Shen, for some inexplicable reason, felt a bit of a connection.
"I don't want to find someone for now… but I can't stand her constantly sighing in front of me."
Ethan Jiang sighed. "Help me out, okay? I never planned for you to actually be my girlfriend."
I get it… Tina Shen rolled her eyes.
So you want to use me as a tool, huh?
"At the restaurant, you could tell I didn't really want a blind date, right?"
Tina Shen smiled. "Why didn't you just tell me earlier?"
"Why would I tell you?"
Ethan Jiang turned to look at her again, putting on that pitiful look.
I'm not buying this, I can see through your act. Tina Shen rolled her eyes again. "Alright, stop pretending."
Ethan Jiang was surprised. Did she figure it out?
He stopped pretending and stared directly at Tina Shen.
"So it was all an act, huh?"
Tina Shen thought for a moment, then decided this method wasn't bad. "Alright, then. If I ever need you, you'll help me act. When you need me, I'll pretend to be your girlfriend. We'll each go about our business otherwise."
"Alright."
Ethan Jiang nodded. "Give me your number."
They exchanged phone numbers.
"Goodbye." Ethan Jiang escorted her out.
Tina Shen: …
You flip faces faster than you flip pages.
He played with my feelings, hurt my dignity, and now he's sending me off. Tears unexpectedly welled up in her eyes.
Is it really so hard to be a decent person?
After leaving the villa and walking out of the neighborhood, The unlucky Tina Shen could only take a cab home.
Wait, how am I going to explain today's blind date to my mom?
Thinking about Ethan Jiang, Tina Shen's eyes lit up.
Hey, I've got a boyfriend now.
Even if it's fake, my mom will probably go crazy with joy.
On the way home, Tina Shen suddenly smiled bitterly.
I forgot to ask Ethan Jiang what he does for a living.
Forget it, I'll just call him later and ask.
Just as she thought about calling him, her phone rang.
After answering the call, Tina Shen suddenly clenched her fists.
She had been assigned!
To the Criminal Investigation Detachment!
