Chu Youweiâs dressing style is very similar to An Nuonuoâs.
They both favor a more plain look.
Only for certain important occasions do they dress more formally.
Today, she was simply wearing a pink down jacket and a pair of loose-fitting jeans.
However, being a natural clothes hanger,
even a casual outfit shone radiantly on her.
Chen Shiyen stood up, handed her the flowers he held, and smiled elegantly, âMiss Chu, welcome.â
âThe flower in my hand cannot compare to even one ten-thousandth of your beauty.â
Chu Youwei smiled awkwardly.
She hadnât wanted to accept them.
But remembering Jiang Xuâs instructions, she could only silently take them, âThank you~â
Chen Shiyenâs heart surged with emotion.
Before, when he gave Chu Youwei flowers and various gifts, not once were they accepted.
Now that she was willing to accept them, could it mean that Chu Youwei was coming around?
The two sat down.
Chen Shiyen called the waiter over and said gently to Chu Youwei, âOrder whatever youâd like, donât be shy.â
Chu Youwei said, âJust a sizzling tofu for me will do.â
Chen Shiyen praised, âMiss Chu really knows how to manage a household frugally, denouncing luxury in favor of simplicity, choosing restraint over extravagance, nurturing virtue through frugality, and upholding integrity.â
Chu Youwei: ââ¦â
Chen Shiyenâs random flattery had completely thrown Chu Youwei off her game.
While Chen Shiyen was ordering, Chu Youwei stealthily took out her phone and sent a message to a group chat that only included her, An Nuonuo, and Jiang Xu.
[That Chen Shiyen, heâs⦠so greasy.]
His âoil productionâ alone could probably supply a university cafeteriaâs oil for a day.
Scary.
An Nuonuo replied with a fist-pumping encouragement sticker.
Jiang Xu sent an askew-mouthed, enduring expression sticker.
At this moment, Chu Youwei felt somewhat helpless.
Chen Shiyen ordered ten dishes and one soup.
During the wait for the dishes to be served, he leaned his chin on his hands and gazed at Chu Youwei with deep affection, âMiss Chu, you are so beautiful, truly.â
âYou are like a poem, a gentle breeze, a clear spring, inadvertently entering my heart.â
Chu Youweiâs toes were clenched tightly together.
It was so awkward that she could have dug out a fish pond.
Sometimes, she really felt like calling the police.
She had no idea what to say and could only bow her head deeply.
And this demeanor, in Chen Shiyenâs eyes, was mistaken for shyness.
He immediately felt that this girl was even more adorable, and his heart fluttered even more.
âMiss Chu, you were born in the Year of the Monkey, werenât you?â
âUmâ¦â
âThatâs such a coincidence, I was born in the Year of the Dog. According to the zodiac, weâre a perfect match, you know.â
âIf youâre happy, thatâs all that matters.â
Every second Chu Youwei spent there was agony.
Finally, after enduring, the dishes were served.
Chu Youwei breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought this would shut Chen Shiyen up.
But Chu Youwei was too naive.
Not only did he not stop, but he also kept chattering on and on.
About a dish like Mapo tofu,
he could tell you about its origin, how itâs made, the ingredients, the cultural significance, and all of that.
Whatâs worse, after he finished, he would look at you expectantly.
As if waiting for you to praise him.
Chu Youwei: âYou⦠youâre so amazing.â
Chen Shiyen immediately perked up, âOf course, thereâs also this dish, oil-braised prawns, let me tell you, it also has a significant backgroundâ¦â
Click-click, he chattered on.
Chu Youwei was very doubtful of his current mental state.
âUm, how about we have a drink first?â Chu Youwei had to interrupt his endless talk.
If she listened any longer, she would go crazy.
âHa ha, sure, letâs have a drink.â
Chen Shiyen drank wine, while Chu Youwei drank a non-alcoholic beverage.
To show off his boldness and manliness in front of Chu Youwei, he downed an entire bottle of red wine in one go.
âCome on, letâs eat.â
Chen Shiyen kept offering food to Chu Youwei, but he noticed she hadnât touched her chopsticks.
Chen Shiyen was puzzled, âWhy arenât you eating?â
Of course, Chu Youwei wouldnât say that Jiang Xu had instructed her to just watch Chen Shiyen drink the wine.
He would handle the rest.
She took out her phone and sent a text message to Jiang Xu, then quietly waited.
âMiss Chu, donât space out, eat something. Doesnât it suit your taste?â
Seeing that Chu Youwei was still indifferent, Chen Shiyen stood up and eagerly served her food.
But Chu Youwei shook her head in terror and refused to eat anything.
Chen Shiyen was no fool.
Chu Youweiâs behavior immediately made him realize that something was wrong.
His face changed slightly as he looked at the food on the table.
Before he could take any further action, he suddenly felt the world spinning around him.
Then he completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor.
Chu Youwei stood up, moved away from him, and hid in a corner, trembling.
At that moment, Jiang Xu walked through the door.
Besides him, there were two men wearing black suits and sunglasses.
And a woman in a down jacket wearing a face mask.
âJiang Xuâ¦â Chu Youwei whispered soft and lowâ¦
Seeing him appear, the unease in her heart vanished instantly.
âYouâve worked hard, cousin,â Jiang Xu said with a smile, âGo to the next room. Iâve ordered some drinks and dishes for you, eat something first. Iâll take care of things here.â
âAlright, then be careful.â
Once Chu Youwei had left, one of the men in black closed the door.
Jiang Xu pulled up a chair and sat down.
Without him having to say anything, the three people began to busy themselves.
Before long, all of Chen Shiyenâs clothes had been removed.
The woman in the down jacket also took off her coat to reveal a very sexy slip dress.
She leaned against the unconscious Chen Shiyen, posing in various suggestive ways.
Then the two men in black took out their phones and started shooting photos of them from every angle.
Jiang Xu watched all of this with a cold expression.
Although this method was somewhat unethical and quite crude,
it was simple and effective.
After the shooting, the men in black sent all the photos to Jiang Xuâs phone.
Jiang Xu nodded in satisfaction.
The angles of the photos were very well selected.
They completely concealed the fact that Chen Shiyen had been unconscious.
From the photos, it looked like the two of them were engaging in various intimate acts.
Jiang Xu gave the woman some money and told her to leave the place.
He picked up a glass of beverage from the table and splashed it on Chen Shiyenâs face.
Stimulated by the cold drink, Chen Shiyen regained consciousness in a few seconds.
He shook his head vigorously.
Upon seeing the current scene clearly, he let out a cold laugh, âItâs truly unimaginable,
that the respectable Jiang Yong would resort to such actions. What a surprise.â
Jiang Xu didnât want to waste words, âAs long as you promise to stop pursuing Chu Youwei from now on, I can pretend todayâs incident never happened.â
