Chapter 1141 My husband is not infatuated with me (19)

"Shichu, do you want to go shopping and eat after get off work today?" Wang Tao asked Ju Shichu.

Ju Shichu shook his head: "No, I've already made an appointment with someone else."

"Others? Who? Male or female? Do I know them?" Wang Tao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked Ju Shichu with shining eyes.

Ju Shichu paused, and suddenly remembered that Wang Tao was very crazy about Yan Cheng before. If she knew that the person she had an appointment with was Yan Cheng, I wonder what crazy behavior she would do? Would she tie him up and interrogate him overnight?

Thinking of this possibility, Ju Shichu shuddered and quickly avoided the main point and said, "He's just an ordinary friend. I helped him before, so we have some friendship."

"What kind of relationship?" Wang Tao stared at her with sharp eyes. "You didn't answer the questions I just asked. Are you hiding something?"

Wang Tao was indeed a bad friend. She knew Ju Shichu's character very well and saw through her tricks at once.

Ju Shichu coughed lightly, and without changing his expression, he slapped her eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are just ordinary friends, but you are so gossipy. If you put this little thought into your work, you would have been promoted and had a raise long ago..."

"Haha... Ju Shichu, you are talking around the issue and not answering my question directly. You must be feeling guilty. Don't try to hide it from me." Wang Tao had sharp eyes. How could she not see that Ju Shichu was feeling guilty? She immediately grabbed her and forced her to tell the truth.

Ju Shichu knew that if she really told her, she would have no peace in the future, so she gritted her teeth and kept silent. Fortunately, it was soon time to get off work. Ju Shichu took the opportunity to force Wang Tao's hands open, quickly picked up her bag, and then fled out of the company.

Yan Cheng's car was waiting at the door, so she got into his car as soon as she went out, and kept urging him: "Drive faster, drive faster!" as if someone was chasing her.

Seeing how anxious she was, Yan Cheng naturally obeyed and stepped on the accelerator and drove away. Wang Tao, who had finally caught up with her, only had time to see Ju Shichu's back as he got into the car and the rear of the luxurious car speeding away.

Although she didn't see who came to pick Ju Shichu up, she couldn't escape Wang Tao's interrogation, so Ju Shichu received a message from Wang Tao soon: [Confess the truth! Who just came to pick you up? What's their identity? My goodness, this car is not cheap. ]

Ju Shichu: [A business partner of my company.] She was not lying. In order to repay her for saving his life, Yan Cheng specially cooperated with Ju's father's company and did business together.

[Don't keep avoiding the main point. You know that's not what I'm asking! Tell me quickly, is this person a man or a woman? How old is he? Is he married or single?] Wang Tao kept sending messages.

Ju Shichu looked at her aggressive interrogation with a headache, not knowing how to answer. In the end, he simply acted like an ostrich, pretending he didn't see it and ignored her.

Seeing that she had put down her phone, Yan Cheng asked, "What do you want to eat? The auction tonight doesn't start until 8 o'clock, so we still have time to go eat first."

Ju Shichu said, "Cantonese food, I want something light today."

"Okay." Yan Cheng had no objection.

Ju Shichu met Yan Cheng today because Ju's mother took a fancy to a set of emerald jewelry that would be auctioned at tonight's auction, but she and Ju's father happened to be on a business trip these two days and could not come back to buy it, so they asked Ju Shichu to help buy it.

Yan Cheng called her and found out that she was going to attend the auction. Coincidentally, he also wanted to attend, so they made an appointment to go together.

The two of them soon arrived at a famous Cantonese restaurant. Ju Shichu ordered many dishes he wanted without any hesitation and had a delicious meal.

Cantonese dishes are relatively small in portion, but Ju Shichu has a big appetite. She exercises regularly and is in good health. As an adult woman, she does not diet intentionally. So after a meal, the frequent serving of dishes and collection of empty plates made the waiters here wonder if there were several guests hiding in their private room.

"I ate a little too much today, sorry to bother you." Ju Shichu said to Yan Cheng a little embarrassedly after he finished eating.

Yan Cheng shook his head and said, "You eat so deliciously that my appetite has improved a lot. I should thank you."

"Don't you think I eat too much and don't look like a girl?" Ju Shichu asked curiously, "It seems that girls need to have a small stomach to look more fragile and cute."

Yan Cheng frowned when he heard her words and said disapprovingly: "Where did you get this idea? If you eat more, you won't be like a girl? I think girls should eat more, so that they can be healthier and more energetic. If you diet to maintain your weight, it is a very stupid thing to do. It will only hurt your body. Don't do this."

Ju Shichu smiled and said, "Of course I wouldn't do that. I don't have a hobby of self-abuse. If I can't even enjoy delicious food because of my weight, then life would be so boring. I just expressed this distorted view that many young men and women have now."

Yan Cheng seemed a little confused and had an indescribable expression on his face. As someone who only goes to the gym to maintain his figure and weight, he couldn't understand why some people lose weight just for beauty and not for health.

Ju Shichu immediately laughed and said, "You don't have to understand their thoughts. They are people with mental problems."

After dinner, the two quickly arrived at the auction site. When Ju Shichu and Yan Cheng sat down in their seats, the host came on stage and the event officially began.

Ju Shichu glanced at the scene and saw several familiar people, including Tang Qin, the daughter of Chang Yu Daily, whom she had met once when she attended the banquet with Yan Cheng. Tang Qin had obviously also seen her and Yan Cheng, and was glaring at her with a bad look.

Ju Shichu raised his eyebrows at her. This rich young lady hasn't given up on Yan Cheng yet and regards herself as a love rival?

This auction was indeed a high-end one. There were several items on auction that Ju Shichu really liked. However, if she bought them, the cost would be too high and it wasn't worth it, so she gave up. After all, she had more valuable items in her companion space and had no shortage of collections.

Yan Cheng bought two auction items and was very generous.

When the set of emerald jewelry that Ju's mother liked came out, Ju Shichu immediately perked up and started bidding without hesitation.

But she met a strong opponent, Miss Tang Qin, who regarded her as her love rival. It seemed that she was deliberately against her. Every time she made a bid, she would follow suit and look at Ju Shichu provocatively after making her bid. Ju Shichu almost bit his teeth when he saw her smug look.
