"Is there anything that could surprise you? You've really come a long way!"
Shen Jingyu's eyes clearly showed disbelief, and he was also reminding Su Xing not to believe everything she heard. In this day and age, one must be wary of others' intentions.
Su Xing silently looked at Shen Jingyu, her stubborn gaze seeming to say: Do I need your reminder? She was simply finding it hard to believe.
Jiang Chengfeng continued, "Meng has been silently protecting you all these years. If he doesn't speak up, you wouldn't know about these things."
"Stop! You were sent here by him, weren't you? To set me up on a blind date?"
Su Xing had no desire to listen any longer. Even if what Jiang Chengfeng said was true, she couldn't view these matters through the lens of Du Meng.
"What else did he ask you to convey?" Su Xing quietly wiped the tea stains off her coat. This blind date was turning out to be even more interesting than before.
Jiang Chengfeng remained unfazed, changing his tone, "Not really. We can just consider this a reunion of old friends."
However, Shen Jingyu sensed a subtle tension between the men. Jiang Chengfeng didn't dare to look directly at Su Xing. When he mentioned old friends, his gaze flickered; if he wasn't mistaken, he also had feelings for Su Xing but felt restrained by his relationship with Du Meng.
The connection between Jiang Chengfeng and Du Meng was indeed deep!
"Then please help me convey to Du Meng that no matter what he has done for me, I appreciate it. As for anything else... if Du Gongzi has any thoughts, let him come talk to me."
Shen Jingyu spoke on behalf of Su Xing. Could Du Meng dare to have any other ideas? Regarding the lunch at Wangyue Tower earlier, Shen Jingyu had already discreetly messaged Luo Hao to invite Du Gang along!
No matter how arrogant Du Meng was, he still had his father keeping him in check!
Jiang Chengfeng looked at Shen Jingyu and couldn't help but chuckle, "Since the lovely lady has company, I'll take my leave."
"Su Xing, keep in touch. If there are projects, remember us little brothers whom you've bullied before?"
Su Xing forced a laugh, "Haha, Jiang Zong is joking. With your talents, you'll surely achieve more than I ever could."
She had no intention of working with someone she didn't get along with and chose not to say more.
Jiang Chengfeng could sense Shen Jingyu's occasional piercing glances at him; after exchanging a few polite words, he left first.
"Sister really loves looking after her little brothers! Honestly, how many do you have?"
Once the crowd dispersed, Shen Jingyu suddenly turned towards Su Xing, sitting beside her and grabbing her chin to make her face him directly.
Shen Jingyu's tone was tinged with jealousy, causing Su Xing to burst into laughter uncontrollably.
"Well, it certainly seems that way. Including you, there are about five or seven of us, right?"
Su Xing smiled mischievously, and Shen Jingyu felt a sudden impulse, leaning in closer without warning.
"When did your little mouth become so infuriating, hmm?"
In the next moment, Su Xing's eyes widened, her lips soft yet forceful against hers, reminding her that this man seemed genuinely upset. Was it because he was angry about her matchmaking? Or was it because he was annoyed by how many people liked her?
Regardless, Shen Jingyu's mood was far from pleasant. He wanted to use this burst of temper to steal a kiss, intending to keep it light and fleeting. However, he didn’t expect the silky sweetness to ensnare him so completely.
Sister had been single for years. After being entangled with this man for fifteen years, today was the first time he had kissed her in such an unrestrained manner.
Once the thought took hold, it wasn’t just Shen Jingyu who fell into temptation. Su Xing didn’t know when or how it happened, but she found herself breathing heavily as she welcomed him with parted lips, both of them eagerly drinking in each other's essence.
The sounds of their swallowing echoed clearly in the room filled with the sound of the guqin.
Shen Jingyu's breath quickened.
Su Xing's palms grew sweaty.
It turned out that hormones could indeed make one lose control over certain nerves, leading to an uncontrollable situation.
Ding ding ding!
"Ugh, my phone! It's my mom!"
Su Xing pushed on Shen Jingyu's shoulder twice. When he released her, she lost her balance and fell against his chest.
Shen Jingyu took a deep breath to calm himself; he hadn’t expected to get carried away at such an inopportune moment.
Both their lips were stained with the color of lipstick, glistening like lip gloss.
Su Xing answered the phone while Shen Jingyu wiped his lips with a handkerchief.
Seeing this scene, Su Xing immediately turned away in embarrassment, hurriedly using the back of her hand to wipe away any traces on her lips, feeling flustered as if she were afraid her mother on the other end might see this moment.
Moreover, Ms. He’s booming voice came through loud and clear: "Didn’t we part on bad terms?! Get downstairs now; I’m waiting for you at the entrance of the community!"
Su Xing seriously suspected that her mother had installed surveillance nearby. Every call was a precise strike.
However, her mother hadn’t noticed Shen Jingyu’s presence; she would probably explode when she found out!
Su Xing took out a small mirror and lipstick from her bag.
This was something that one wouldn't realize until they saw it, and upon seeing it, they would be shocked.
Oh my goodness! Shen Jingyu, are you doing this on purpose? My lips are so swollen; how am I supposed to face anyone later?
Shen Jingyu, satisfied with the sight of her swollen lips, leisurely pulled Su Xing to her feet and casually collected her lipstick and small mirror.
This is just right. Do you really want to go out and tempt other boys? You woman, do you think I'm a fool?!
I wasn't tempting anyone! What nonsense are you talking about?
Don't you know what you look like? From now on, when you see others, you're not allowed to laugh or look them in the eye.
With her enchanting charm, it seemed that as long as Su Xing looked at someone, they would be momentarily captivated and then completely mesmerized.
In this regard, Shen Jingyu had deep feelings about it and found himself repeatedly falling into the same trap.
As Su Xing was being pulled along by Shen Jingyu, she squinted at the back of his head, making faces at him.
But even moving her mouth felt tingly and numb, as if the inside corner of her lower lip had been sucked raw by him.
Su Xing didn’t realize that her skin was so delicate that within five minutes of seeing her mother, Ms. He Xiaoqing, she witnessed her mother’s almost stone-like expression for the first time.
Mom. He—he is Shen Jingyu. Su Xing felt a bit shy.
This was the intimidating presence of a mother.
You—both of you look even more shocked than Su Xing herself.
Auntie, I’m Xingxing’s boyfriend. We’ve known each other for fifteen years. I’m truly embarrassed to meet you only now.
Shen Jingyu straightened his posture, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him.
Seeing Ms. He appear as if she were in a daze, Su Xing shifted her suspicious gaze away and greeted the boy next to her.
Shaozheng? Didn’t you go abroad to study?
Another familiar face.
Su Xing guessed that there must be a reason he appeared here today.
Chi Shaozheng was a gentle and refined man with well-defined features. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and exuded an aura that was not only non-threatening but also approachable.
His handsome smile seemed capable of warming hearts as he kindly said, "A Xing Jie, I’m here."
This was indeed the seed candidate brought by Ms. He—the son of Chi Boyue, Ms. He’s childhood friend.
