Su Yue and Chen Ziming went to open the door together.
Upon seeing her, Jin Yan feigned surprise again.
"Sister, you're even more beautiful than last time. You weren't wearing makeup last time. It's true that beautiful women look good with light or heavy makeup."
"You have a good memory," Chen Ziming said flatly, shielding Su Yue behind him.
"Of course..."
"Do you still remember your sister's name?"
Jin Yan: ??
Su Yue felt a little embarrassed. She had only introduced herself when Jin Yan entered last time, and hadn't mentioned her name at all afterward. She guessed he had already forgotten.
So, before the two could continue arguing, she spoke first:
"My name is Su Yue, Su from Suzhou, Yue from excellent. Hello, Mr. Jin."
"Oh my, Yueyue sister is so polite." Jin Yan walked around Chen Ziming, giving her a grateful glance.
"Yueyue? Is that what you call her?" he asked Jin Yan with cold eyes.
The latter ignored him and, smiling at Su Yue, asked very gently:
"Can I call you that? Yueyue sister?"
Su Yue felt that this was not an appropriate place for her.
However, out of politeness, she still tugged at the corner of her lips, smiled, and said, "This... let's listen to Officer Chen. I'll listen to him."
After speaking, she deliberately moved closer to Chen Ziming, linked her arm through his, and assumed a united front against the outside.
This Jin Yan was too good at diverting conflict. Last time she lost because she didn't understand him well enough. Now that she knew his way of speaking, she could counter his moves.
At a time like this, she had to stand with Chen Ziming, as he was her true backing.
Her actions surprised both men.
But immediately, a smile flickered across Chen Ziming's face. He lowered his head to look at her and whispered:
"You performed well."
"You two... sigh, if you don't listen to me, and he wrongs you in the future, don't come crying to me!"
She was speechless again.
What did it have to do with him?!
Chen Ziming couldn't listen any longer and interrupted him: "Does this hotel have a place that sells clothes?"
Jin Yan was taken aback, scratched his head, and after thinking for a moment, said, "There should be. I'll ask the butler."
The butler he mentioned was a general term for the hotel's management staff.
While he was on the phone, the man turned to face her, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
"Someone's here!" Su Yue's face instantly turned red.
"You don't need to consider him a person," he said with a smile. "Didn't you just say you'd listen to me?"
"Mmm... what do you want to do?" She certainly couldn't reveal her original intention, so she decided to go along with him for now.
"When we have dinner together tonight, just say you're my girlfriend, okay?"
This truly surprised her.
Had the morning's events left him psychologically scarred?
He underestimated her too much. Since she had agreed to have dinner with his friend, she would definitely say she was his girlfriend.
To give him face.
"Alright, Officer Chen, as you command." She couldn't be bothered to explain and lazily agreed.
"And also," he put his hands around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, lowered his voice, and said:
"Be as clingy to me as you are now."
...What kind of bizarre request was this???
This was too childish.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she really wouldn't have imagined Officer Chen having this side to him.
"Officer Chen, you have so many demands," she said with a smile, her crescent-moon eyes showing surprise and helplessness.
"No?" he narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
"It's not that I can't..."
It was just that this clinging behavior was a bit difficult to master.
"Then it's a yes." He smiled again, then leaned into her ear and said, "My darling is the best."
Su Yue: ...
From now on, she would have to be careful about using phrases like "it's not that I can't..." in front of him.
"How can you two be so lovey-dovey? It's sickeningly sweet," Jin Yan's voice suddenly rang out. Su Yue quickly pushed Chen Ziming away and looked at him.
"Are we?" Chen Ziming didn't answer him directly, but asked instead.
"Yes, absolutely. There are designer brands on the first and second floors of the building, and they're already open. I'll take sister to buy some, on my tab," he replied, looking at Su Yue with a smile.
"You'd better save more of your private money, so you don't have to cry poor every time you're with me."
Jin Yan: ...
