"It doesn't look good, does it? Then I... I'd better change it." Xu Qingyun's voice was as calm as ever, but you could still tell from her phrasing that she was really awkward.

However, before she could turn around and go back to the restroom, Ji Hanchen strode forward, pulled her close, and hugged her tightly.

Xu Qingyun's cheeks flushed. "Ji Hanchen, what are you doing?"

"You look so beautiful, it's precisely because you're so beautiful that I don't want anyone to see you. Yunyun, why are you so pretty? I originally thought that once you took off your cheongsam, you wouldn't be so stunning anymore, so even if you went out, I wouldn't have to worry about other men having designs on you. But you're just too sweet."

Ji Hanchen truly overturned Xu Qingyun's perception of unattainable beauties.

Ji Hanchen is completely different from those aloof and domineering CEOs. He is not reserved, nor is he sparing with words; in fact, he is quite talkative.

But while feeling embarrassed by his praise, Xu Qingyun also felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Xu Qingyun lowered her eyes, her voice becoming softer, "Don't say that. I'm just a nose and two eyes, not as good as you say."

Ji Hanchen released Xu Qingyun, lowered his head slightly, and pressed his forehead against hers, saying earnestly, "You are different from other girls. There's a term called 'sweet and cool,' you know? My Yunyun is the epitome of sweet and cool, unmatched by anyone."

Xu Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle, genuinely amused this time. "Ji Hanchen, be a little more reserved."

"No," Ji Hanchen refused. "If I hold back, how can our love blossom and bear fruit?"

It turns out that men can also act cute, and it doesn't seem out of place at all with his nearly 190cm height and stunning good looks.

Xu Qingyun pursed her pink lips, the curve of her lips growing ever wider.

"Yunyun, come here."

Ji Hanchen pulled Xu Qingyun to stand in front of the full-length mirror, then cupped her hair in his hands and tied it into a loose bun.

His skills were poor; the first time he tried to tie a girl's hair into a bun, the bun was crooked and on the side.

But so what?

Xu Qingyun looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a stranger.

In fact, she rarely wears clothes other than cheongsams.

She got her first cheongsam when she was two years old because her mother liked it.

While other babies were wearing princess dresses, she wore a little cheongsam, looking chubby and adorable.

After her mother died, her grandfather also made a cheongsam for her.

Later, she was kicked out of the Xu family and stayed with her uncle, where she was still required to wear a cheongsam.

Xu Qingyun liked it, so she never asked, and it became her dressing habit.

Ji Hanchen hugged her from behind, looked at himself in the mirror, and said in a muffled voice, "I want to have you all to myself, but I also want to show those people that my Yunyun can not only pull off cheongsams, but also looks stunning in other styles."

After saying that, Ji Hanchen suddenly kissed her cheek. "Am I conflicted?"

"No." Xu Qingyun shook her head, a smile on her face that seemed to sweeten the air. "Then is it alright if I go out like this today?"

"good."

Although she wasn't used to it, Xu Qingyun wanted to give it a try after receiving Ji Hanchen's praise.

This was probably the first time she had tried to change herself for a man.

She didn't understand emotions, but she knew clearly that Ji Hanchen was different to her; he was special.

After dinner, the two went out together, and Ji Hanchen personally escorted Xu Qingyun to their date location.

His leg wasn't fully healed yet, so he shouldn't have been driving, but because the car had an autopilot function, Xu Qingyun let him drive.

“I’ll wait for you in the car,” Ji Hanchen said.

Xu Qingyun unbuckled her seatbelt and said softly, "Don't wait for me, I can go back by myself."

Ji Hanchen refused, "No, I won't wait here. What if you run away?"

Xu Qingyun smiled faintly, Ji Hanchen seemed a little clingy.

But she didn't understand that Ji Hanchen was worried about her.

The woman named Leng Shuang is arrogant and domineering. Jiang Xun reported this morning that Ye Xiao has also arrived in the capital. This mother and daughter are definitely up to no good. He must protect Yunyun.

Xu Qingyun walked into the One Night City, pushed open the door to the private room, and her expression changed drastically.

Ji Lun sat on the sofa like an old man, his shirt open, chest exposed, and legs spread wide, looking very unrestrained.

Several men were sitting nearby, smoking and drinking; they were the same men who had tried to take advantage of Xu Qingyun last time.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Xu Qingyun frowned and turned to leave.

But a figure, like a cheetah, kicked the door, making a loud "bang".

Ji Lun, with his hands in his pockets and his leg kicked in the door, completely blocked Xu Qingyun's path.

Shen Lu paused for a moment, then stood up and went over, "Oh my, who is this beautiful lady? She looks familiar."

Xu Qingyun's eyes darkened. Her first reaction was that Qin Shuang was lying to her. Otherwise, why didn't she see Qin Shuang, but instead saw Ji Lun and the others?!

"Ji Lun, move aside." Xu Qingyun said without a trace of emotion.

Ji Lun looked Xu Qingyun up and down, and for the first time, Xu Qingyun seemed like a complete stranger.

But at the same time, after taking off her cheongsam, the sense of distance from her also decreased.

"Xiaoyun, did you come here specifically to see me?" Ji Lun smiled.

Xu Qingyun looked at him coldly: "You're overthinking it. I'm here to see Qin Shuang and Xia Chu. Ji Hanchen is here too."

She tried to push Ji Lun away, but Ji Lun still looked at her with a wicked expression. "Xiao Yun, are you really with Ji Hanchen? I feel terrible that you betrayed me like this."

"You may not know this, but I'm very selfish. If I can't have something, I'll destroy it so that no one else can have it either!"
