The driver who was supposed to pick her up was none other than Song Zaizhen, who was quite attractive.
In fact, Wen Jin also felt a little awkward. Ever since Song Zaizhen confessed his feelings to her last time, Wen Jin could no longer treat him as a younger brother with ease.
Wen Jin didn't reply to any of the good morning and good night greetings that Song Zaizhen sent her.
Unexpectedly, he appeared right downstairs at the TV station.
It was time to leave work, and colleagues from the TV station were leaving one after another.
Song Zaizhen was good-looking and had an ethereal air about him. In addition, the blue sports car behind him was very eye-catching, drawing the attention of many people.
Song Zaizhen seemed oblivious and walked straight toward Wen Jinye.
"Sister, Ankang sent me to pick you up."
His tone was ordinary, and he remained as obedient and innocent as ever in front of Wen Jinye.
It's as if I wasn't the one who became tainted by stubborn lust that night.
Wen Jin couldn't pretend nothing had happened, and her tone was somewhat distant as she said, "...Thank you."
The large trash can downstairs from the TV station hadn't been emptied yet, and the expensive bouquet of flowers, which had been exposed to the sun all day, had withered but was still eye-catching.
Song Zaizhen saw it as soon as he approached.
He gave a cryptic laugh. "Doesn't your sister like this bouquet?"
Wen Jin also realized, "You sent these flowers?"
"Hmm." He said calmly, "You can't just rely on words to pursue someone, especially since my sister is so hard to win over, I have to put in some effort."
"But my sister doesn't like this bouquet, so I'll choose something different next time."
Wen Jin frowned. "Don't do these things for me, whether it's flowers or anything else, I won't..."
Wen Jinye's voice gradually faded away when the boy in front of her showed a hurt expression.
His suddenly shattered gaze and the overwhelming sense of disappointment on his face even made Wen Jin wonder if her words had been too harsh.
My younger brother is so good at putting up with things.
The expressions alone were enough to portray Wen Jin as a complete villain.
However, being soft-hearted or even feeling sorry for someone should not be confused with liking them.
Her tone softened, but her stance remained unchanged.
"I only see you as a younger brother, just like I see An Kang."
Song Zaizhen chuckled self-deprecatingly, "My sister won't even give me a chance."
He shrugged, finally no longer looking at Wen Jinye with the pained expression of being betrayed by the whole world.
His tone became more relaxed and relieved.
"It's fine if you temporarily reject my feelings, but you can't refuse to get in my car, can you, sister?"
“I’ve brought a pledge with me today. If you don’t go, Ankang and her sister will accuse me.”
Standing here is really not the right place to argue about whether you like someone or not, especially since a colleague who knows Wen Jinye is passing by and is looking at her in a very strange way.
Wen Jin didn't want to cause trouble or have any scandals.
"Get in the car first."
*
They remained silent the entire way.
Nanshan Resort is located at the westernmost end of Jiangbei City, which is the exact opposite of where Wen Jinye lives.
However, this direction is very close to Qiushui Bay.
Wealthy people have their own circles.
The car slowly drove into the grand and imposing entrance. Inside, the scenery was beautiful and the environment was serene. The car made several turns on the spacious road inside, and Wen Jin saw An Yu waiting not far away.
Song Zaizhen parked the car.
Wen Jin unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when her clothes were tugged by a subtle force.
Song Zaizhen twirled his fingers together, a seemingly casual gesture, yet his expression was quite serious.
"Sister, at least don't take away my right to pursue you, okay?"
Wen Jin also stated bluntly, "We can't possibly have a result."
"Does it really have to be a result? If there's no result, just enjoy the process."
Song Zaizhen looked at Wen Jinye's face and said slowly, "Even a moment of pleasure is still pleasure."
But Wen Jin has already suffered the consequences of indulging in pleasure for a while.
She will not fall off the same emotional precipice a second time.
Moreover, it's with someone you could never possibly like.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Song Zaizhen finally smiled and said, "Sister, please don't ignore me."
Not far away, An Yu waited for everyone to get out of the car. She rested her hand on her brow bone near the window, her voice muffled as it came from outside:
"Were you kidnapped by your seatbelts?"
Song Zaizhen calmly loosened Wen Jinye's shirt fabric.
I took the opportunity to unbuckle her seatbelt.
Wen Jin didn't want this short trip to become unpleasant, so when she opened the car door, her serene face showed no sign of discomfort.
Song Jae-jin got out of the car with a normal expression.
An Yu and An Kang didn't notice anything unusual, and the four of them walked together towards the hot spring area.
Completely unaware of how many eyes were watching them from the teahouse building next door.
*
Above the teahouse, the melodious sound of a zither drifted through the air, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
Xu Xiangbai was used to frequenting brothels and was not interested in the things that these literati and scholars liked.
He gulped down the "fresh" liquor, which had been cold-brewed for an hour, like a cow, and then frowned and commented, "What is this? It's bitter here."
He looked at Song Zaicheng beside him and bluntly said, "You're really putting on airs by opening a teahouse in a resort area like this."
"?"
Song Zaicheng glanced at him, and when he saw that the porcelain white teacup was empty, he wished he could reach into Xu Xiangbai's stomach and pluck it out.
He gritted his teeth in anger, "Wild boars shouldn't come here to taste the bran, okay? I waited for an hour, and you just ate it all in one bite."
Song Zaicheng was about to light a cigarette when he saw a shrunken but all-too-familiar figure downstairs.
Especially when he saw that flashy blue sports car, he became even more certain that it was his younger brother.
This resort area is a newly developed property by the Song family, so it's not surprising that he brought his friends here to play.
At first, Song Zaicheng thought that An Yu, who was waiting outside, was Song Zaizhen's new lover, so he couldn't resist making a fuss and said, "She changes women faster than she changes clothes. I wonder where she got this womanizing habit from."
These words piqued Xu Xiangbai's curiosity, and he leaned over to look down.
But then the passenger door opened, and another graceful figure stepped out.
It was Wen Jinye, whom Song Zaizhen had been paying close attention to recently.
Xu Xiangbai recognized her too, "Isn't this Reporter Wen?"
He then looked at another familiar figure and sneered, "And that drunken old woman."
Song Zaicheng's expression became thoughtful.
Originally, he was convinced that Wen Jin was the one who made Song Zaizhen change his personality.
Until recently, news spread in the industry that Fu Yanjing had personally dealt with a minor figure in Huaimi in a fit of rage for the sake of a woman.
The person who caused him to lose control that time was Wen Jinye.
Song secretly investigated Wen Jinye's background in the city.
But then came a shocking piece of news:
Wen Jin also had a three-year relationship with Fu Yanjing in Hong Kong.
...
His gaze was complex, but he looked at Fu Yanjing beside him without changing his expression.
The man's well-defined hands toyed with an exquisite white porcelain teacup, the fragrant aroma of tea lingering around his indifferent brows and eyes.
Hearing Xu Xiangbai's words, his expression remained unchanged.
It was as if they didn't care at all.
