Chapter 10 Are Men's Hands Really That Good-Looking?

Chapter 10 Do Men's Hands Look That Good? Song Ni was never one to be meek. Pretending to be demure was only for specific situations, and in front of Tan Zheng, Song Ni felt such tricks were insufficient. Hearing her, Tan Zheng didn't get annoyed, merely took a look. Song Ni wore a long, below-the-knee dress, off-white, her hair swept back over her shoulders in soft curls, adorned with a pearl hair accessory. She looked every bit the refined young lady. But the moment she spoke, it was clear Song Ni wasn't the demure type. Tan Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and spotted the band-aid on Song Ni's palm. He suddenly leaned forward towards the passenger seat. Song Ni's eyes widened, her body already leaning back. Before she could even ask what he was doing, Tan Zheng had taken her phone out of the passenger side storage compartment and handed it to her. Song Ni recognized it as her own phone. She opened her mouth, unsure what to say. So, Tan Zheng had recognized her? But why did he show no surprise at all? She couldn't detect even a flicker of emotion from him. Seeing Song Ni frozen, Tan Zheng tossed the phone onto her lap. The phone was spotlessly clean, clearly wiped down. Song Ni pouted, suppressing her questions. "Thank you." It wasn't just the phone; he had also taken her to the tent and gotten her a first-aid kit that day. Tan Zheng merely glanced at her, a smirk playing on his lips, and finally spoke. "First time I've seen someone your size fall while walking." Song Ni: ... This man wasn't just laughing at her, he was also speaking ill of her. What kind of temper was this? Song Ni abandoned her curiosity about Tan Zheng. While fastening her seatbelt, she turned cold. "Someone like you, Mr. Tan, would also be forced into blind dates by your family?" Hearing this, Tan Zheng glanced at Song Ni, not rushing to answer. He turned the steering wheel, and only after the car merged into the main road did he speak. "Are you a fortune teller?" Song Ni never expected Tan Zheng to say such a thing. It was so absurd that for a moment, she couldn't control her facial expression. Tan Zheng saw the astonishment in her eyes without missing a beat. Tan Zheng let out a laugh from his chest. "If you're not a fortune teller, how can you know what kind of person I am?" Song Ni: ... This man not only mocked her and belittled her, but he also retorted, and the laughable part was she didn't even know how to retort back. A knot of frustration tightened in Song Ni's chest. She rolled down the window, looking outside, clearly not intending to continue the conversation. But after a while, she suddenly remembered why she had asked Tan Zheng to pick her up. She wasn't here to be angered by him. With that thought, Song Ni turned her head, her gaze falling on Tan Zheng's hands on the steering wheel. The heavens were kind; the sun had come out, and the light fell perfectly on Tan Zheng. The prominent veins on his hands, in the sunlight, were not only sexy but also possessed a certain aesthetic beauty. As he navigated a turn, his hands controlled the wheel with ease and composure. Song Ni's eyes flickered. Her intuition was correct. His hands driving were incredibly handsome and sexy. Song Ni rarely swore, but that word had truly popped into her mind, as if only that could perfectly describe the feeling of Tan Zheng's hands while driving. Her gaze was bold and direct, making it difficult for Tan Zheng not to notice. Following her gaze to his own hands, Tan Zheng raised an eyebrow, not understanding what was so captivating about his hands. But Song Ni's gaze seemed glued to his hands, making him feel a strange discomfort. "What are you looking at?" As Tan Zheng spoke, he lowered his right hand, gripping the steering wheel with his left. Then he noticed Song Ni's gaze was fixed on his left hand. Tan Zheng: ... Out of rare curiosity, he turned his head during a red light and asked, "Do men's hands look that good?" Song Ni finally showed some reaction, withdrawing her gaze and looking into Tan Zheng's eyes. It's not that men's hands look good, it's that your hands look good. Tan Zheng's hands weren't slender and delicate; rather, they were somewhat rough, and with the clearly protruding veins on the back of his hands, they appeared exceptionally sexy. She just happened to be attracted to that. However, Song Ni didn't voice her thoughts but didn't hide her interest in Tan Zheng's hands. Under Tan Zheng's gaze, she nodded. Tan Zheng frowned, first looking at his own hand, then at Song Ni's hand resting on her lap. Pale and tender, slender and long. He tutted, thinking women were truly strange creatures. Tan Zheng didn't speak much, and Song Ni wasn't the type to initiate conversation. Moreover, her mind was focused on Tan Zheng's hands, so they remained silent the entire way. It wasn't until the car stopped outside the restaurant that Song Ni suddenly asked, "Why did you agree to the blind date?" Tan Zheng glanced at her and retorted, "And why did you?" Hearing this, Song Ni looked up at Tan Zheng. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall, and wearing heels, she was not short, but in front of Tan Zheng, she still had to tilt her head to meet his gaze. "Naturally, because I'm somewhat interested in you." Song Ni didn't say this aloud, but Tan Zheng clearly saw it in her upturned lips and the spark of interest in her eyes. Tan Zheng narrowed his eyes. At this point, he had begun to understand Song Ni's personality. She was bold and direct, not hiding her interest in a man, but without saying it, she would stare intently, letting the man feel it. What do you call this? A Persian cat, noble and arrogant yet also capable of acting cute. She was putting on an act. Tan Zheng found this young lady quite interesting. He pinched his left wrist with his right hand, leaned forward slightly, and opened the door. Then, the supposedly proud Song Ni in his eyes suddenly took a deep breath, blinked, and adjusted her moon-shaped brows, her eyes becoming alluring. She instantly transformed into a demure and well-behaved young lady, perfectly matching the clothes she wore. Tan Zheng raised an eyebrow, finding her even more interesting. ... Madam Song and Madam Tan had been chatting for a while. Hearing the sound, they both looked up towards the entrance. They saw Song Ni and Tan Zheng standing together, the girl demurely positioned beside the man, appearing exceptionally petite. Madam Tan's heart warmed, and she quickly beckoned them in. Song Ni, with her naturally gentle appearance, consciously restrained her personality in front of elders. At first glance, she truly looked sweet and soft. Tan Zheng sat beside them, watching his mother and the young girl chat, seeing how effortlessly she won his mother's favor. He was suddenly reminded of a saying: one cannot judge a book by its cover. Song Ni was already adept at interacting with elders. Sensing Tan Zheng's gaze, she met his eyes without guilt. She seemed completely unconcerned about showing two different faces to Tan Zheng, nor did she worry about him exposing her in front of their elders. She was confident because she had substance. The two ladies, being perceptive, noticed the exchange of glances between them. They exchanged a knowing look, their hearts filled with joy, assuming the two had hit it off. "Nini, Tan Zheng is a few years older than you, but older men know how to take care of people. Don't let his current demeanor fool you; he's very caring." Madam Tan genuinely liked Song Ni and wished they could finalize the engagement that very evening. Hearing this, Song Ni raised her eyebrows and looked at Tan Zheng with a hint of teasing. Caring? At the school entrance earlier, he acted like a grand lord, and she opened the car door herself. Tan Zheng understood Song Ni's implication and indeed felt his mother was exaggerating a bit. Madam Song, on the other hand, had been observing discreetly. Although Tan Zheng didn't speak much, he answered earnestly whenever he was mentioned. She already found Tan Zheng handsome and tall, exuding a sense of security, believing such a man could protect his woman. She had met all sorts of people, and a quiet man who truly cared would deeply cherish his wife. The more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became with Tan Zheng, and she secretly gave Song Ni several encouraging glances. ??? Please vote for your beloved babies.
