Chapter 287: Try My Best to Seduce You
Tang Jinyu scanned the crowd and his gaze soon fell on the young girl who was clearly not listening to him.
“Jian Qi, step forward!” Tang Jinyu said coldly.
Jian Qi snapped back to reality with his piercing voice. She put aside her feelings and stepped forward quickly.
The others looked at her with questions in their heart. What had she done?
How were they unaware of it?
Tang Jinyu walked toward her and lowered his head. Then, he stared at her directly. He seemed so strong and powerful that it was rather suppressing.
The others soon stood up straighter.
Jian Qi remained calm and steady just like how she usually was.
“What were you thinking about just now?” Tang Jinyu asked her. His voice was slightly frosty.
Jian Qi blinked and looked at Tang Jinyu. She seemed to be put in a difficult situation. Then, she asked, “Do I have to tell you now?”
“Now!” His voice was so cold that he did not allow anyone to disobey his command.
Clearly, the others felt the deep tension there and then.
However, Jian Qi seemed so calm. Her voice was even playful and annoying. “Reporting, Instructor. I was thinking about you.”
The others fell into a deep silence all of a sudden.
They were speechless.
‘Big Sister Qi, how could you do that? You’re even trying to seduce the boss now. It’s shocking but I admire that in you!’
‘Woah! You’re really quite daring!’
Tang Jinyu then stared at her stonily. Soon, his eyes became cold and distant.
“Instructor Tang, it’s you who asked me to tell you.” Jian Qi put the blame on him now.
Lightning forced back his laughter. He was having mischievous thoughts now. ‘Big Sister Qi, do you think that your injuries are not severe enough?’
Tang Jinyu took a deep breath and glanced at her left hand which was still bandaged up and supported by her neck. He deepened his frown.
“Were you really thinking about me?” His cold voice was filled with great danger.
However, Jian Qi still remained calm. She nodded happily. “Yes, I think about you all the time.”
The others were flabbergasted.
‘Big Sister Qi, you’re so brilliant!’
‘You’re indeed daring!’
Tang Jinyu’s eyes were no longer cold and distant.
He was quiet for three seconds. Then, he said, “The rest of you go for your training now. As for you, Jian Qi, stay back.”
The others were annoyed now because they could not enjoy the fun.
After that, they left for their training. Jian Qi smiled mischievously. “Instructor Tang, were you shy because of my confession just now?”
Tang Jinyu sneered frostily. “You broke your hand. There’s bleeding in your chest and you nearly broke your ribs. Moreover, your entire body is covered with bruises…”
Jian Qi knew that the doctor had reported her condition to Tang Jinyu after she heard that.
“Do you think that I will not do anything to you given that you’re seriously injured?”
Jian Qi smiled wickedly. “As the saying goes, tough love is sometimes the only way. Instructor Tang, how do you want to show me your love for me?”
Tang Jingyu took a deep breath. He was frustrated. Yet, he smiled. “Haven’t you always been quite a narcissist?”
“I’m not a narcissist! I’m a true beauty*!” She retorted smugly.
Tang Jinyu. “…”
“Instrutor Tang, you also think that I’m pretty. Don’t you?”
“Pretty? I’ll give you a chance to be a pretty girl today.” Tang Jinyu said coldly. “Put your feet apart. Stand with your shoulders straightened. Do a squat now! Start!”
Jian Qi said, ” Instructor Tang, I’m injured.”
Jian Qi raised her left arm slightly as she was saying that.
Tang Jinyu scoffed coldly. “You broke your arm but your feet are just fine. Do you need to use your arms if you do squats?”
Jian Qi. “…”
‘d.a.m.n it! Wrong move!’
‘I didn’t know how wicked he is!’
After that, she did the squat and looked at Tang Jingyu sadly. “Little Tang Tang, are you trying to cripple me?”
“How could I?” Tang Jinyu glanced at her coldly. He was indeed laughing at her now. “You’re such a smart girl. You can even boast and bluff about literally everything. How can a mere squat cripple someone as capable as you?”
Jian Qi. “…”
