Immediately, he had a servant take Song Rongzhi to the best guest room.
However, he suddenly noticed that his son was looking at Song Rongzhi.
"Qinzhou, please escort this Miss Song to her guest room."
He Lintian couldn't resist giving his son a helping hand.
"Okay." He Qinzhou responded, secretly giving his father a thumbs up.
Looking at Song Rongzhi, He Qinzhou made a "please" gesture.
"Come with me."
"sorry to bother you."
Song Rongzhi was overjoyed, but only showed a slight smile on her face.
He Qinzhou walked ahead, with Song Rongzhi following closely behind.
Zeng Xueting, who was listening to Song Rongzhi and He Lintian's conversation, was completely dumbfounded.
She originally thought that Song Rongzhi would politely refuse He Lintian's offer to stay.
But to my surprise, she readily agreed to stay!
This was something she had never tried before!
No, I need to ask her why!
Zeng Xueting thought to herself.
So Zeng Xueting walked up to He Lintian and politely asked, "Uncle He, I'm Xiaoting. Can I stay here for the night?"
"Xiaoting?"
He Lintian looked Zeng Xueting up and down with a curious gaze and quickly recognized her as the eldest daughter of the Zeng family.
Although the He family and the Zeng family have always kept to themselves, since Miss Zeng has made this request, how could He Lintian refuse?
Taking this opportunity to strengthen ties with the Zeng family would be entirely beneficial for the He family.
Thinking this, He Lintian replied, "Of course, Xiaoting, our He family and the Zeng family have always been old friends. When you come to Uncle He's house as a guest, you can stay as long as you like, let alone just one night."
He Lintian laughed heartily, then had a servant take Zeng Xueting to choose a guest room.
Zeng Xueting said ladylike, "Thank you, Uncle He," and then followed the maid.
Not long after, He Qinzhou led Song Rongzhi to a guest room.
He Qinzhou pushed open the door and led Song Rongzhi inside.
"The guest rooms are cleaned regularly, and the bedding and other supplies are all new, so you can sleep soundly. If you need anything else, please let me know."
He Qinzhou said in a very serious tone.
"Thank you."
Song Rongzhi lowered her head, touched her snow-white, pointed chin, and suddenly asked, "What do you do for a living?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Rongzhi cursed herself in her heart.
Asking such a question on the very first meeting is really too abrupt.
Although she has a lively and outgoing personality, wouldn't it be too offensive to suddenly ask her such a question?
Song Rongzhi couldn't help but let her mind wander.
She was completely unaware that her thoughts were being influenced by the man in front of her.
Chapter 399: The Shy Guy
"Actually, I didn't do much; I just managed the family company."
He Qinzhou shrugged.
"Oh fine……"
Song Rongzhi nodded meaningfully.
She suddenly remembered something and tentatively asked, "You're so handsome, you must have a lot of girls chasing after you, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No... I don't have a girlfriend."
He Qinzhou lowered his head, looked away, and pretended to be embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Song Rongzhi's eyes lit up with joy. Finding He Qinzhou's evasive gaze, she half-jokingly asked, "So what do you think of me?"
He Qinzhou was taken aback, not expecting that the female lead, Song Rongzhi, would be so direct.
"You are very beautiful."
He Qinzhou pretended not to understand the meaning behind her words.
"Then I'll be your girlfriend, okay?"
Song Rongzhi thought he was dull, so she could only speak more bluntly.
He Qinzhou wanted to reply with an "okay," but when the words were about to come out, he swallowed them back.
He suddenly thought of the women around him. If they found out that he had given them another sister, it would inevitably cause trouble in the harem.
Thinking this, He Qinzhou suddenly changed his mind and said, "I was just joking with you. Actually, I have a girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Song Rongzhi rolled her eyes; she didn't believe it at all.
She simply thought that He Qinzhou was making excuses and pretexts to reject her.
"Would you mind having another girlfriend?"
Song Rongzhi didn't expose the shy guy. She stared at him intently, revealing a seductive smile, trying to flirt with him.
Seeing Song Rongzhi's provocative gaze, He Qinzhou wanted to say: Woman, you're going to get yourself into trouble if you act like this.
However, he only thought this to himself, and on the surface he still said in a simple and honest way, "I mean it, I really do have a girlfriend."
"I'm serious, I don't mind if you have a girlfriend."
Song Rongzhi looked very sincere.
"you sure?"
"Sure!"
He Qinzhou, upon hearing this, naturally did not believe Song Rongzhi's words.
Song Rongzhi has only reached the third level of depravity, and she probably still can't tolerate this situation.
If I'm not mistaken, Song Rongzhi has probably taken her own truth as a lie.
"How was my cooking? Did you think it was good?"
Seeing He Qinzhou in a daze, Song Rongzhi suddenly asked.
"It's delicious! This is the first time I've ever had such delicious food. You're a really good cook."
He Qinzhou exclaimed in sincere admiration.
That's absolutely true. Song Rongzhi's cooking skills are truly exceptional; once you've tasted her food, you'll have an unforgettable experience.
"From now on, I'll cook for you whenever you want to eat it, but there's a condition."
Song Rongzhi blinked her big eyes and said coaxingly and playfully.
"What's the premise? Tell me."
He Qinzhou had already vaguely guessed what was going on, but he pretended not to understand.
After all, Song Rongzhi thought that because she was honest and slow to react, this was normal.
Song Rongzhi felt very embarrassed, but how could she not take the initiative when faced with such a shy guy who was like a block of wood?
With a determined look and a stomp of her foot, she declared, "Of course... of course, I'll be your girlfriend."
"Does it have to be this way? Are there other options where I can still enjoy your cooking?"
He Qinzhou did not give a direct response, but instead whetted Song Rongzhi's appetite.
"Yes, I do. I'll pay you. It's not much to ask you to cook me a meal. I'll give you a million."
Song Rongzhi said.
"This is way too expensive."
He Qinzhou was surprised.
Although He Qinzhou is not short of money, it doesn't mean he can accept something as trivial as a meal costing a million.
Seeing He Qinzhou's reaction, Song Rongzhi felt that this guy seemed to care about food much more than she did.
This made Song Rongzhi somewhat resentful.
However, there's an old saying that goes, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
Once he eats my cooking a few more times, he'll definitely become inseparable from me.
Then, won't his heart be with me?
"You don't want to spend money? That's fine too. How about considering my suggestion?"
Song Rongzhi gave a confused smile, which gave off a feeling of trying to trick a child with a lollipop.
"But this is too fast! We've only just met today."
He Qinzhou said hesitantly.
"Actually, this is the second time."
Song Rongzhi corrected.
"Huh? The second time?"
He Qinzhou feigned suspicion.
"Yes, it's the first time."
Song Rongzhi quickly changed her words.
I was in the car at the time, and this guy didn't see me. It wouldn't be wrong to say it was our first meeting.
"Let me think about it for a while."
He Qinzhou pondered.
"Hey, I'm a girl and I've already taken the initiative like this, why are you still being so hesitant? Are you even a boy?!"
Song Rongzhi was getting impatient. She stepped forward and cornered He Qinzhou against the wall: "I need your reply now, or you're not leaving."
Actually, she wasn't usually this bold, but she had been so blunt and almost lost all face, and this guy in front of her still said he would think about it.
Song Rongzhi was naturally furious, and under pressure from her superiors, she took this action.
Of course, the most important point is that this guy is too shy and looks like he's easy to bully!
With his back against the wall, He Qinzhou was pinned against it and couldn't move. He had an urge to stop pretending to be honest and obedient and wanted to turn around and rub Song Rongzhi against the wall.
"Have you thought it through? Answer me quickly."
Seeing He Qinzhou still deep in thought, Song Rongzhi felt extremely shy, but on the surface she pretended to be fierce and urged him on.
"My parents don't allow me to date casually, as you probably understand. In a wealthy family like mine, free love is a luxury, while arranged marriages within the family are the only option."
He Qinzhou's face showed a bitter expression. "If my parents find out that I've secretly found a girlfriend, I'm definitely in big trouble."
"Your parents are so old-fashioned!!"
Song Rongzhi was surprised for a moment and asked.
"There's nothing I can do, this is my fate."
He Qinzhou looked helpless.
Song Rongzhi sighed upon hearing this.
No wonder this guy is so shy; it turns out it's due to the upbringing he received in a wealthy family.
Thinking this, Song Rongzhi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The only consolation is that, judging from the guy's tone, he isn't indifferent to me, but rather afraid of his parents' questioning.
