Chapter 718 Asking the Other Party
However, looking at the bullfrog, my appetite suddenly improved, and I felt a little tempted to try it. I wondered which restaurant it was from and decided to ask about it later. While thinking this, Tang Yuchan clicked on the video and watched it carefully. She couldn’t help but notice a woman sitting opposite and wearing a certain Chanel bracelet.
It was especially beautiful; I really liked it back then but never got around to buying it. Surprisingly, there was a woman sitting across from him. I needed to listen closely for any voices, as a woman’s intuition is usually very accurate. If I heard the voice of a woman at that moment, and sure enough, he’d raised the volume quite a bit. Then I heard the woman across say softly,
"Mr. Zhang, I’d like to try that piece of bullfrog, but it’s a bit too far for me to reach. Could you help me get it? Thank you," she said in a gentle and weak voice, and right after that, the video ended just in time.
It was probably because she saw Zhang Tao recording the video. So she deliberately spoke this way, thinking that Zhang Tao would share it on his social media soon, possibly to show everyone he was dining with another girl. It could be a message to other women to back off, which is very possible. Or maybe she just accidentally spoke without realizing Zhang Tao was recording.
Regardless of what I thought, the fact was that Zhang Tao had lunch with a woman today, and even replied to my messages during the meal. What did that mean? Could this man be a scoundrel? After finally taking an interest in a man, was he really such a jerk?
I felt somewhat upset but didn’t know how to bring it up. What right did I have to ask him? It was all too embarrassing. Tang Yuchan felt like she was going crazy. Why did I have to follow my intuition and watch the video, turn up the volume to listen in? Now I’ve put myself in a truly difficult situation, unsure whether to ask or not.
If I don’t ask, I’ll surely be agonizing over it for a long time, but if the answer is not what I want to hear, then what? This indecisiveness isn’t a solution either, I’m so troubled that I can hardly eat my lunch. No, I must be decisive; it’s just a man, after all. There’s no need to let it get to me like this.
But how do I ask without making it awkward? I don’t want him to think I’m being nosy, nor can I let on that I want to date him. It’s rather difficult, compounding the difficulty. No matter how tough it is, I still need to send a message and ask. I can’t let myself just silently endure this indignity.
