Chapter 26

In Lao Ye's mind, Tang Zhendong wouldn't have much trouble finding a partner. After all, Haicheng was a newly emerging tourist city with a thriving business sector, and there were many young women working here. With Tang Zhendong being such a good guy, finding a partner would be a piece of cake. However, if Tang Zhendong wanted to find a local girl, that would be a bit more difficult.

Lao Ye was very clear about the current dating situation in Haicheng. Besides having a house and a car, one also needed to have savings in the bank. Tang Zhendong had none of these three things.

A man without a house, a car, or savings, how could he find a wife? Perhaps he could only look for a working girl. But even in Haicheng, working girls still wanted to find someone with a house and a car in the city, and the house couldn't be mortgaged.

Although Tang Zhendong was a clean-cut young man, he was essentially a "triple-no" person. Lao Ye wasn't a snob; when he said Tang Zhendong wasn't a match for his daughter, it wasn't because Tang Zhendong lacked a house or a car. It was because he thought there would be a generation gap in communication due to their different educational backgrounds. Although Lao Ye hadn't asked about Tang Zhendong's education, one thing was certain: a university graduate wouldn't be selling fruit at the train station!

However, Yu Qingying's appearance overturned Lao Ye's preconceived notions about the balance of power in relationships. It turned out that a common man could indeed find a rich girl!

"Qingying, this is Master Ye, a great expert in Yi studies, well-versed in feng shui and physiognomy. He is a true master and my neighbor," Tang Zhendong said, seeing that Lao Ye was staring at Yu Qingying. Tang Zhendong decided to change his approach. If you're not leaving, I won't force you; I'll just make you feel awkward.

"Lao Ye, this is Yu Qingying."

Tang Zhendong introduced Yu Qingying and Lao Ye to each other.

"Xiao Tang, not bad. You've found such a beautiful girlfriend; you must have a lot of good karma. Keep it up!" Lao Ye gave Tang Zhendong a thumbs-up.

Yu Qingying blushed and lowered her head when she heard Lao Ye's words. She and Tang Zhendong had just reunited after a long time, and she had always had a deep impression of him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have recognized him just from his back at the Haicheng Grand Hotel.

At that time, Yu Qingying had a slight fondness for Tang Zhendong, but after he unexpectedly saved her, she truly began to see him in a different light, and her fondness deepened.

Tang Zhendong's strong masculine aura captivated Yu Qingying. Perhaps she had been waiting for so long just for him? Yu Qingying blushed at this thought and didn't talk much to Tang Zhendong on the way.

Then, at the neighborhood and at his doorstep, Yu Qingying was amazed by Tang Zhendong's memory and judgment. His astonishing memory, meticulous analysis, and precise judgment all made her fall for him.

If Yu Qingying had previously looked at Tang Zhendong differently because of his performance in high school, now she truly admired him. A woman's admiration for a man often deepens her feelings for him. Yu Qingying grew up in a family where her father was the head, so she preferred to be a gentle woman and hoped her man would be a strong one.

Of course, these feelings were buried deep in Yu Qingying's heart, and even she couldn't fully explain them. But some things were destined to happen.

Lao Ye left with a belly full of questions.

"What do you want to eat?" Tang Zhendong asked, seeing Yu Qingying lost in thought.

"Ah, I'm almost full. It's all your fault for giving me such a big pear. Now you're asking me what to eat?" Yu Qingying patted her stomach, indicating she wasn't hungry.

"Well, it is my fault," Tang Zhendong admitted, lowering his head. He picked up a peach, "How about a peach? It will turn 'almost full' into 'definitely full,' and then we really won't need to eat." Tang Zhendong laughed.

"Annoying, I want to eat. It's not easy to get you to treat me to a meal, so I can't be satisfied with just a pear and an apple."

"Uh," Tang Zhendong opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Clearly, he wasn't a match for Yu Qingying.

"Let's go for a walk to digest our food, and then have a big meal." Yu Qingying's suggestion was excellent, and Tang Zhendong agreed.

"Shall we return the car first and then go for a meal? It will count as digesting our food."

Yu Qingying looked at Tang Zhendong's tricycle with interest and said, "That sounds good, but I have a better way to digest our food."

"What is it? Tell me quickly."

"The best way to digest food is for me to sit on the bike and you to pedal back. I guarantee that after pedaling back, your appetite will increase." Tang Zhendong laughed.

Yu Qingying gave Tang Zhendong a sideways glance, "Annoying," she said, then climbed onto the back of the tricycle and sat down, "Okay, let's go!"

Tang Zhendong never expected Yu Qingying to sit on the back of his tricycle and let him pedal. It wasn't that Tang Zhendong couldn't pedal; with his strength, he could still pedal at a high speed even if he had four or five Yu Qingyings on the back.

During his school days, Tang Zhendong had vaguely heard about Yu Qingying from his desk mate and good friend Yuan Xiaqiang: "Yu Qingying's father is a leader in the Haicheng municipal government."

Tang Zhendong mostly believed what Yuan Xiaqiang said. Although Yuan Xiaqiang wasn't a good student, he was very loyal, and his family was wealthy. Yuan Xiaqiang's father was the CEO of Yuanshi Group, one of the top private enterprises in Haicheng.

Because of the rumors about Yu Qingying's impressive family background, Tang Zhendong was somewhat hesitant to talk to her. In high school, Tang Zhendong was very active and outgoing, with a humorous and charming personality that made him very popular with girls. His current reticence was a habit formed during his eight years in prison, but he still had a good sense of humor and often said witty things that amazed people.

With Yu Qingying sitting on the back of his tricycle, looking happy, the people who knew Tang Zhendong at the train station's small commodity street were amazed. They thought Tang Zhendong had hit the jackpot, a poor boy finding such a beautiful girlfriend.

On the way, Yu Qingying watched the passersby with interest, completely ignoring the looks of disdain from those with cars and fancy clothes, who saw her as a flower stuck in cow dung. Of course, Yu Qingying was the flower, and Tang Zhendong was seen as the cow dung.

In this society, being poor and powerless indeed made one cow dung.

Yu Qingying liked Tang Zhendong for his talent, not his appearance or money. However, Tang Zhendong was tall with long legs, broad shoulders, and a slim waist, forming a perfect inverted triangle. His muscles rippled with each pedal, making him very attractive.

This appearance was indeed quite good.

Yu Qingying thought to herself. For mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
