Meanwhile, in Shui Yilan's magnificent bathroom, Shui Qing looked at her left hand, which had been slapped red by Mu Liuyun, her face flushed.
That feels so good!
Even though it hurt a lot, Shui Qing felt a strange sensation welling up inside her, and she even wanted to imitate the female e-sports commentator's soft humming.
"Calm down! Shuiqing, calm down!"
Shuiqing, who has always been a well-behaved girl since childhood, has knowledge in this area but has never put it into practice and has no intention of doing so in a public area like a restroom.
So she repeatedly scooped water from the sink and splashed it on her face. She repeated this countless times until the blush on her face and the pinkness in her mind faded considerably.
Even after the strange feeling disappeared, Mu Liuyun's image remained etched in her mind, lingering for a long time.
After staring at herself in the mirror for a while, Shui Qing seemed to suddenly wake up. Without even wiping the water droplets off her face, she ran out of the bathroom.
She wanted to see Mu Liuyun; she wanted to continue holding onto Mu Liuyun's arm, or better yet, grab her directly with her hands.
A short while later, Shui Qing, who was panting slightly from anxiety, returned to the dining table.
"Shuiqing, are you alright? You seem a little agitated?"
Long Haochen immediately came over and asked all sorts of questions in a gentlemanly manner.
But Shuiqing seemed not to see or hear anything, looking around the dining table, searching for that familiar figure.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruyu felt that another opportunity to improve Long Haochen's favor had come: "Shuiqing, you're being aloof again~ You don't even respond when Haochen talks to you?"
Where is Mu Liuyun?
Shui Qing finally caught her breath, and the first question she asked was about Mu Liuyun.
Zhang Ruyu was immediately furious: "Shuiqing! I'm talking to you about Brother Haochen!"
Seeing that she couldn't get an answer, Shuiqing's expression immediately fell, like a little girl who had lost her teddy bear.
With Mu Liuyun gone, she suddenly felt that hanging out with Zhang Ruyu was pointless. She bit her lip as if making a decision: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You guys enjoy your meal."
Without giving Long Haochen and Zhang Ruyu a chance to speak, Shui Qing turned and walked towards Shui Yilan's door.
"Shui Qing! This is Shui Yilan, this is Shui Yilan who was treated by Brother Haochen, don't you think it's a waste!"
Seeing that Shui Qing was about to leave, Zhang Ruyu became a little anxious. This was her best supporting character, a rich second-generation girl who was both foolish and beautiful, the perfect prop to highlight her. If she left, the meal would be pointless, and she was counting on Shui Qing to increase the popularity of her short videos.
Upon hearing Zhang Ruyu's words, Long Haochen suddenly felt that his plan to get close to Shui Qing through Zhang Ruyu was incredibly foolish.
However, the foolish one was not him, but Zhang Ruyu.
The second young lady of the Shui family is so noble, how could she be so short of food like you? If she wanted to eat, wouldn't she just have to beg her elders to get it?
Thinking of this, Long Haochen shook his head: "I'll be going now, you guys eat."
This table was booked by Long Haochen's grandfather, Long Aotian. No matter who ate at the meal, the bill would go to Long Aotian. However, Long Haochen wasn't short of food either. Rather than continuing to stay with this stupid woman, he'd rather go home and figure out how to get closer to Shui Qing.
"By the way, that dress was custom-made by a French designer. Although it's not a limited edition, it's still worth 200,000. You got a bargain."
After saying that, Long Haochen left.
Two hundred thousand...
Zhang Ruyu was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Looking at the little dress in front of her, she wanted to catch up with Long Haochen, but after thinking about it, she sat down again.
It's not that she didn't want to continue to get closer to Long Haochen, eventually marry into a wealthy family, and incidentally compensate for the dress.
Recently, videos of people showing off their wealth, such as "The Daily Life of a Refined Girl," have become very popular on Douyin (TikTok). She wants to try and get on the trending list by having this meal with Shui Yilan.
Compared to marrying into a wealthy family, becoming a trending topic is clearly more appealing to Zhang Ruyu right now. Besides, if she becomes famous, she can earn money herself; what's 150,000 yuan then?
What's there to panic about? I'm confident!
So she calmly sat down and greeted her classmates like a hostess.
The students looked at each other, wondering if it was still necessary to eat the meal since the person who had hosted them had already left.
Oh? You mean the bill for this meal has already been settled?
Since things have come to this, let's order some food first.
...
...
"Miss Chu, is it possible, is it possible to let go? I can walk by myself."
Chu Yaqin was stronger than Shui Qing, and she grabbed his hand directly. Perhaps Mu Liuyun couldn't help but blush, making him feel like a fallen leaf, whichever way the wind blew him.
This undoubtedly hurt his pride as a man, but...
Miss Chu's hands are really soft.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but just by holding hands, Mu Liuyun felt a fragrance wafting into her nose.
"No, I'm worried you'll get lost again."
Chu Yaqin's mature and sexy voice came from just above Mu Liuyun's head, causing Mu Liuyun to lower her head even further.
This woman is a true enchantress!
"I didn't get lost. Just now, they dragged me there by force."
"I see. Then let's prevent you from being pulled away by someone else again."
Chu Yaqin still wore a faint smile, but her heart was already bursting with joy. She could hold him in her arms the very first time they met, and hold his hand the second time—how far away could the next step be?
Mu Liuyun looked at Chu Yaqin with a puzzled expression. He felt that Chu Yaqin's attitude did not seem to be angry about yesterday's gender fraud.
Doesn't she know he's a man?
With this suspicion in mind, Mu Liuyun let it go and allowed the other party to pull her into the luxurious private room on the top floor of Shuiyilan.
In any case, Mu Liuyun's greatest skill is to let others do as they please.
The luxury of the top floor of Shuiyilan was beyond Mu Liuyun's imagination. Although it was glittering with gold everywhere, it did not feel dazzling, which showed the high level of the designer and architect.
Pushing open the door to the Peony Pavilion, a middle-aged man with a serious expression stood there, his hands clasped together below his nose, his elbows resting on the table. He looked frighteningly serious; this was Chu Yaqin's father, Chu Tianxing.
"Dad, we're here!"
Chu Yaqin's tone became much more playful. After all, the person sitting there was her own father, so what did she have to be afraid of?
But Mu Liuyun was different. Staring at him with wolf-like eyes behind Chu Tianxing's reflective glasses, he felt uncomfortable all over and could only slowly take off his hat and greet him respectfully.
Hello, Uncle.
Chu Tianxing didn't respond for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, then continued to maintain that "frighteningly serious" posture.
Chu Yaqin showed no intention of indulging her father. Without asking any questions, she pulled out a chair directly opposite Chu Tianxing and forcefully pressed Mu Liuyun into the chair.
The restraints on Mu Liuyun's hands were finally removed, but what followed was the oppressive feeling of being face to face with Chu Tianxing, making him increasingly uncomfortable.
What made him uncomfortable was not only Chu Tianxing's seriousness, but also the bitterness of almost being delivered to his door in a package deal.
