Hearing her best friend's words, Ye Tingru shuddered and instantly became much more alert. After quickly glancing around and seeing that they were all staring at her, she suddenly felt caught in a dilemma.
Do you want me to see you out?
Jiang Muyao's unusually gentle voice rang out. Her beautiful and charming eyes were fixed on Ye Tingru, filled with anticipation, as if she was afraid that the other party would suddenly change her mind.
Standing there, Ye Tingru felt stiff all over. She looked down at Su Che and her best friend as if pleading for help, but when she saw that the two of them were eating with their heads down and didn't dare to look at her, she instantly realized that she couldn't count on them.
She knew that if she walked out that door today, there would be no way she could come back. Who knew how long that vixen would keep Su Che captive!
She felt a pang of regret. Where had her usual decisive and strategic skills from the workplace gone? She had actually been outmaneuvered by a woman today; it was a disgrace to her, a beautiful CEO, if word got out.
She's already standing up, she can't possibly sit back down, can she?
If this happens, what will become of her dignity? How will she face anyone here afterward?
"Are your legs numb from standing for too long?"
"Let me help you out and see you off. I'll call a taxi for you when we leave and I'll pay for it. After all, we've all been sitting in the same place..."
After saying that, Jiang Muyao stood up, wanting to send her away directly to avoid any unforeseen complications.
She could tell that Ye Tingru wanted to back out, but she absolutely couldn't give her another chance. That was the professionalism of a criminal police officer. Opportunities are for those who are prepared, but seizing them is even more important!
"Let me help too..."
Wen Shuran also joined in the fun. The two women came up to Ye Tingru and were about to carry her away when Ye Tingru took a step back and said calmly.
Where is the restroom?
Did you wash your hands before eating?
"I need to wash my hands first, otherwise it's very unhygienic!"
Wen Shuran and Jiang Muyao were slightly taken aback, and their confident smiles instantly froze on their faces.
Wen Shuran sat back down in her chair with a look of regret. She hadn't expected Ye Tingru to pull this stunt.
Jiang Muyao, with a gloomy expression, pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
She wanted nothing more than to throw all these women out, but Su Che was still there. She had to consider his feelings, even if she didn't care about him. If she did that, it would definitely leave a bad impression on Su Che, which would be very detrimental to her future.
An old saying goes that a woman's jealousy is a major taboo!
Ye Tingru calmly walked towards the bathroom, secretly relieved.
"That vixen is truly cunning and treacherous. No wonder she's a criminal investigator. I'll have to be more careful from now on!"
Su Che and Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Ye Tingru would slam the door and leave in a fit of anger, which would not only embarrass them, but also the young rich woman.
As the saying goes, both sides are equal, and it's hard for him to favor one over the other. He may have had a lot of ex-girlfriends, but at least he's always been one-on-one with them and has never cheated on them.
Right now, he just wants to give them a home. What's wrong with that?
It's so lonely for just the two of them. Wouldn't it be nice if they got to know each other better and played mahjong together?
However, to be fair, neither of the professions of a beautiful female detective nor a beautiful female CEO is exactly easy to deal with!
He felt that if he could overcome these two major obstacles, he would be 90% successful in realizing his dream of sleeping in the same bed with his partner...
When Jiang Muyao sat down, she looked at Shen Zhiyi with a displeased expression.
"Sister Muyao, why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Zhiyi blinked her big, watery eyes, her face full of innocent expression.
Jiang Muyao gritted her teeth in anger at Xiong Da's naive and innocent appearance. She had always thought that Xiong Da's women were all brainless, but who would have thought that one of them was so cunning!
Why did you remind her just now?
Shen Zhiyi's eyes darted around, and she stammered, unable to give a coherent answer. This was clearly a way of putting Pang Hu in a difficult position, knowing full well that the two were best friends, yet still asking her such a question.
"Don't you like him a lot? Your best friend seems to like him too. Don't you want to have him all to yourself? Are you willing to share a man with your best friend?"
Jiang Muyao's brows furrowed, and she posed a soul-searching question to the young rich woman.
The young heiress pursed her lips and remained silent. She couldn't very well tell them that her best friend had said last night that after Su Che won them over, they would prioritize their own interests above all else, and that she even wanted to acknowledge her as her older sister.
The young heiress didn't say this to anyone else, but if she had told Su Che, he would definitely have replied, "She's playing you, Your Majesty. That's not what she told me..."
Jiang Muyao was full of menacing aura, and Su Che felt a headache coming on. He quickly picked up a small steamed bun, took a bite, and his eyes lit up. He quickly put the remaining half of the steamed bun on her plate and changed the subject.
"Muyao, have one. I just tried the pork and corn one. Isn't pork and corn your favorite?"
Jiang Muyao was touched. She didn't expect that after so many years, Su Che would still remember her preferences. Her anger subsided instantly, and she didn't mind Su Che's words. She picked up the steamed bun he had bitten and started eating.
"Hmm...it doesn't taste good."
"Back then, before dawn, you would get out of bed and cook delicious food for me yourself..."
The other women didn't say anything, just kept their heads down and ate their breakfast silently. As for whether they were cursing her or not, Jiang Muyao didn't care at all. After all, when it came to the idea of holding the emperor hostage to command the nobles, only Cao Cao and she could do it!
