Su Xing's enchanting peach blossom eyes blinked playfully at Shen Jingyu, silently inviting him closer. Shen Jingyu found it hard to control his emotions as he leaned in, their heated lips finally meeting. The desire within them urged them to explore each other further.
Yet, as their tongues touched, Su Xing's mind suddenly snapped back to reality. What was she doing? Was she really as unworthy as she claimed, trying to bind this man with her beauty? Undoubtedly, Shen Jingyu liked Su Xing, and she had come to realize that a man like him would not say "I love you" unless he truly meant it.
Shen Jingyu rarely spoke, but he never stooped to lying. His breath quickened, his body tensed, and his mind raced with the thought that he wanted her—she was the woman he wished to protect for a lifetime. Why not seize the moment and claim his rights?
But then, Su Xing suddenly pulled away from him. Unable to contain himself, Shen Jingyu pressed kisses to her cheek and ear, nibbling gently on her earlobe before burying his face in her neck. "What have you been learning behind my back? I wouldn’t mind if you used all your skills on me," he murmured.
The husky sound sent shivers down Su Xing's spine, yet she smiled softly in response. "You should stop now." In that moment, Su Xing felt content because he understood her.
Shen Jingyu sighed in frustration. "Then what should I do? You don’t want this? Am I really supposed to force you?"
In her heart, Su Xing silently thought: It's not that I don't want it; it's just that the distance between us is not something you can simply dismiss. Perhaps one day in the future, if I can clear my name, being with you wouldn’t be impossible.
Su Xing had given them both a chance in her heart, but without any certainty, how could she dare make any promises?
After a brief silence, Shen Jingyu finally rolled off her and accidentally caught her lace dress on his belt buckle with a ripping sound.
"Hey! Was that intentional?" Su Xing exclaimed. Now she couldn’t even go out; the tear was embarrassingly low on her abdomen.
With one hand, Shen Jingyu pulled her back toward him as they both lay back on the bed. He remained remarkably calm. "It’s fine; we’re not in a hurry to leave. The auction doesn’t start for another half hour. I’ll have someone bring you some clothes."
"Oh great! After spending so long with you, I’ll have to change outfits later and everyone will see the gossip written all over my face!"
Su Xing was baffled as to why Shen Jingyu’s presence turned her life into such chaos. Meanwhile, Shen Jingyu seemed quite pleased with himself as he took out his phone and dialed a female secretary's number. "Send a size kg women's gown to my suite at Shenghao Yujing within half an hour."
Su Xing looked up at the sky in exasperation. Did it have to be so ambiguous?
"I won't be attending the auction; I'm leaving first." Su Xing grabbed her handbag and stood up again.
After she sat up, Shen Jingyu reached out to hold her back. The two of them sat side by side at the foot of the bed.
"Xingxing, you already know about the situation on Xinghe Street. Shen will also be competing for the development rights there, but I won’t leverage our relationship to pressure you into making a deal for that land. You can choose a buyer that satisfies you or one that meets your psychological price point. However, I want to tell you that when Du Meng speaks, there will be people who can help you stop this development on Xinghe Street, but that is definitely nonsense. No matter how he tries to lure you later, don’t believe his words."
Shen Jingyu couldn’t help but remind Su Xing again; he was terrified that she would get involved and end up getting hurt.
"Do you know who he’s referring to?"
"Yes, I do. But trust me, that will be a huge trouble in the city; they are definitely not good people. Promise me you'll pay attention to your safety, okay? And I hope you won’t refuse my offer to protect you."
Su Xing frowned; for a moment, she felt a bit confused. She wanted to find an opportunity to clarify what Du Meng meant with those words, but Shen Jingyu had already brought it up ahead of time, implying that Du Meng was also a very dangerous person.
Su Xing had naturally dealt with Du Meng before. It was true that she didn’t like him, but she hadn’t thought of him as particularly dangerous until now; did she really have to be cautious?
"I’ll take care of myself. But I still won’t attend the auction tonight."
Not to mention how others would perceive it; just her so-called plastic friend would surely write her a five-thousand-word essay about her changing outfits and the recent interactions between her and Shen Jingyu.
Su Xing knew her too well!
However, tonight, Shen Jingyu seemed determined to make her stay.
"Xingxing, tonight at Starry Convergence there will be an auction followed by an event. This will mark the beginning of your new identity."
Su Xing naturally understood this situation; it was something she had discussed with Mu Beiyao before. Mu Beiyao hoped she would come into the open and manage the brand together with her. Su Xing was hesitant.
Moreover, now that she had gotten involved with Shen Shiyan Tuan's president, this was even less of an opportunity.
Su Xing couldn’t help but say to Shen Jingyu, "If I appear as the Chief Designer of Starry Convergence, perhaps it will lead to the brand’s downfall. Do you understand?"
If public opinion couldn’t cover up Su Xing’s scandalous news even when she presented herself as one of the hottest jewelry designers, then how could she stand alongside someone like Shen Jingyu?
Shen Jingyu understood well that Su Xing was a very intelligent woman. She could face public scrutiny with calmness and think of ways to maximize her benefits in real-time. However, deep down inside, she truly cared about these matters.
He couldn't help but reassure her, "Star, I really don't care about my current identity. I can even promise you that after I fulfill my grandfather's orders, this position as the President of Shen Shi Yan Tuan will be entirely up to you."
This Shen Shi Yan Tuan was not his primary career; everything was for the sake of this crisis mission. More importantly, this identity allowed him to protect Su Xing more conveniently.
Su Xing fell into a long silence. On what grounds could she decide whether he stayed or not? In life, family, friendship, and love were all hard to let go of. Since he acknowledged his grandfather, he had become someone he cared about—how could he truly not care?
Yet Shen Jingyu was willing to say such things and make such promises for her, Su Xing. How could she not be moved?
Since she wanted to strive for their future together, Su Xing had to be the woman who stood by his side in the most fitting way!
After about ten minutes, the doorbell rang, and Shen Jingyu got up to retrieve a set of formal wear. To Su Xing's surprise, the secretary had chosen a bright red outfit.
The style was cold and noble, exuding an aura of a sophisticated woman, which matched well with her other makeup and accessories.
What matched even better was Shen Jingyu, who had also changed into a suit—a red bow tie paired with a pure black wool suit. Even the cuffs echoed the shape of Su Xing's dress neckline.
They were clearly dressed as a couple.
As they stood facing each other in their outfits before heading out, Su Xing hesitated. "Your secretary must have received special training before you came here, right? If anyone saw us in these outfits, they would think we were attending an engagement party!"
"Yes! Good job! I'll give Secretary Zhang a bonus. This dress is exactly to my liking!"
