Wang Zhong smiled as he climbed up from the ground and changed into his clothes. Wearing this kind of formal attire didn't feel very comfortable. Although the tight-fitting, streamlined design was able to perfectly display a man's figure, it was tight everywhere. For people who were used to wearing casual clothes, it was extremely uncomfortable.
"A place like the Imperial Garden is very particular. If there's a waiter serving you, remember to give him a tip. The money is in your shirt pocket. I've already put it away for you. You only need to give one each time. If you order something, you probably won't be able to understand the messy names. Act like a gentleman and let Carolyn order. You can choose the same as her. Also, also … "
As Ma Dong helped him tie his necktie, he continued to nag endlessly in his ear.
"Why are there so many complicated things? Isn't it just a coffee shop?"
"Yes yes yes. I'll tell you what you need to know. It's up to you whether you want to act pretentious or not. I'm still hoping that you'll bring the goddess back to the hotel. I reckon that you'll instantly shock those fellows in the hotel silly. Haha! When that happens, I'll also act pretentious! "
Wang Zhong couldn't help but laugh. After tidying up, he tugged at the corner of his clothes. "Let's go!"
It was also for Carolyn that Wang Zhong accepted Ma Dong's style for the first time. A showy white face.
"Good luck!" Ma Dong placed his hands on top of his head and made a heart shape.
After Wang Zhong closed the door and left, the smile on Ma Dong's face slowly faded. He couldn't help but sigh. He had indeed … been frightened.
Was what he had taught useful? In fact, it was useless. He and Carolyn weren't on the same level. Compared to Carolyn, a mere Assassin disciple was no different from a beggar. Frankly speaking, if Wang Zhong had met a distant relative of the Stuart Clan, he might have had a chance with his current strength. However, with Carolyn … it was impossible. It was precisely because they were brothers that Ma Dong was able to remain calm. However, he couldn't open his mouth. This matter had to be confirmed by Wang Zhong himself.
If this girl was interested in him, it would be impossible for them to not contact each other for more than half a year. This wasn't a normal relationship or situation. He understood Wang Zhong's character too well. When it came to combat, he was comparable to a hundred people. However, when it came to understanding girls, he definitely didn't pass.
A genuine aristocratic family would place great importance on one's identity, family background, and status. There were many capable youths, and these aristocratic families would try to recruit them with a rather enthusiastic attitude. However, this was a completely different concept from talking about marriage with their successors. What's more, even without talking about the pressure from the aristocratic families, Ma Dong's understanding of Carolyn from the various news reports showed that she was definitely not a simple woman. She was absolutely not just beautiful, capable of fighting, and had a noble status. Her unyielding style of doing things and outstanding intelligence were extremely rare within the entire Federation. She was definitely a heroine amongst women, a strong person.
However, it was absolutely impossible for such a woman to disregard everything for the sake of love. In fact, Ma Dong felt that there was simply no such thing as love in the eyes of such a woman. If not, with just a slight consideration of Wang Zhong's status, they wouldn't have chosen a place like the Imperial Garden.
Perhaps he was too sensitive, as he was able to sniff out even the tiniest of clues. However, the enthusiasm displayed by Wang Zhong made Ma Dong unable to bear to say anything that would hurt his feelings. There were times when the truth was much more useful than persuasion. Naturally, it would be even better if he was the one in the wrong. However, it was a pity that he was completely unable to help Wang Zhong in this matter. Being a brother, Ma Dong could only give his blessings in his heart.
Being a coffee shop, the Imperial Garden had slightly overturned Wang Zhong's perception. A coffee shop was a place for people to drink coffee. However, this place had been renovated to give off the feeling of an imperial palace. Gold and jade filled every corner of his sight. Upon entering, an attendant wearing spotlessly white gloves would bow ninety degrees towards him, causing Wang Zhong to wonder if he had entered the wrong place. Furthermore, according to Ma Dong, the coffee here was genuine natural coffee, produced by the Zhao Family's monopolized coffee plantation, and not those ordinary synthetic products.
Does this look like a coffee shop? The aristocratic class truly knew how to enjoy themselves. Wang Zhong could already smell the mellow fragrance that refreshed his heart.
"Miss Carolyn's private room is number 1," said the attendant respectfully. This was especially so after hearing Carolyn's name, causing his attitude to become even more respectful. "Please follow me."
Thinking about how he was about to meet her, Wang Zhong felt slightly excited. It had been half a year since they last met. However, the feeling of first love was still present in Wang Zhong's memories.
Using Ma Dong's words, Wang Zhong was a die-hard otaku deep in his bones. Most of the time, he lived in his own world. While he was working hard in his training, time did not stop. The other party's time was also moving forward, causing her life to become more colourful. Naturally, due to Wang Zhong being different from the masses, Ma Dong felt that there was a 1% chance of a counterattack. After all, he was All Mouthy King!
Pushing open the door, a beautiful figure appeared before Wang Zhong's eyes, causing him to gawk.
Unexpectedly … it wasn't Carolyn.
Wang Zhong gawked slightly. Originally, he had intended to give her a tip, but he had forgotten about it. There was another woman in the room. She was similarly young, beautiful, and gave off an elegant aura. In fact, Wang Zhong even knew her.
Divian waved her hand towards the attendant, who tactfully retreated out of the room, before respectfully closing the door behind her.
Standing up in an extremely courteous manner, Divian sent a smile towards Wang Zhong. "You must be Wang Zhong. I'm Divian, Carolyn's best friend. She's unable to make it today due to some matters, so she asked me to represent her as a host. Student Wang Zhong won't take offense, right?"
A faint smile appeared on Wang Zhong's face. Although he was slightly surprised, it was still within reason. Sitting opposite Carolyn, he looked towards her. After the fight in the OP, he didn't feel any unfamiliarity towards Divian.
With a smile, Divian asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Anything. In fact, you should know that I don't know anything about such things." replied Wang Zhong with a shrug. Acting pretentiously wasn't too suitable for him.
"Waiter, two cups of Polar Ice Dragon Island." Pressing down on the call button on the table, Divian casually ordered two cups of coffee, before carefully sizing up Wang Zhong. This person had clearly appeared slightly nervous when he had walked in. However, upon seeing her, he appeared exceedingly calm and indifferent.
This was slightly strange. She, Carolyn, Mo Xingchen and Gui Xinying were part of the younger generation of the Freedom Federation, and were often jokingly referred to as the Four Great Princesses, or the Statue of Liberty. There were very few males of their age that could act so freely.
Frankly speaking, Wang Zhong didn't give her a very good impression. He couldn't be considered as handsome, and had an extremely ordinary appearance. He was wearing a set of new clothes that he had clearly just bought, with a tie that was tightly tied around his waist, causing him to feel exceedingly uncomfortable. The unexpected and constrained feeling he had when stepping into a place like the Imperial Garden caused him to radiate a rustic aura. He was just an ordinary person. Divian didn't discriminate against ordinary people. However, if she were to use Carolyn's partner as her standard, such an image would truly be too out of place. She was unable to imagine what kind of scene it would be like for the two of them to truly stand together and attend various events.
The only thing that left a deep impression on Divian was the sincerity and self-confidence radiating from his face and eyes. However, truthfully speaking, such things were the cheapest and most meaningless thing for an aristocrat. In fact, one could even say that they were looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
