Chapter 183: I can tell whether they are friends or lovers.
At the celebration banquet, Yan Zongjing patted Yan Zhaozhou's shoulder repeatedly, and anyone who wasn't blind could see his satisfaction.
In contrast, Jiang Yingxu, who was once very prominent, has become much quieter.
Alone in a corner of the banquet, he appeared indifferent, lacking his usual cold and sharp aura.
Everyone in high society is shrewd; before the banquet even ended, all sorts of speculations had already spread throughout the circle.
Shi Miao, biting the cake fork with her teeth, couldn't help but smile as Zhu Ting subtly inquired about the matter.
"It doesn't matter."
She knew about Jiang Yingxu's plan, but she couldn't say it outright, so she could only express it subtly.
"That's not important."
Zhu Ting raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked thoughtfully at her cheeks, which were puffed up with a piece of cake.
"Okay, as long as you and Jiang Yingxu know what's going on."
Zhu Ting and Shi Miao's acquaintance was purely accidental.
Jiang Yingxu was obsessed with the slim chance of a miracle.
I'll buy luxury brand clothes and accessories.
Coincidentally, Zhu Ting is also a fashion designer with a very distinctive aesthetic sense.
Dress brands, jewelry styles, and haute couture processes.
Jiang Yingxu asked politely two or three times.
Zhu Ting handed over the sign while remaining silent.
One day at the mall, he unexpectedly bumped into Jiang Yingxu, who was strolling around with a girl.
The girl had fair and smooth skin, round and clear eyes, and when she smiled, a little bit of soft cheek fat would appear.
Zhu Ting watched for a few seconds, then stepped forward confidently and began to help choose clothes and jewelry to match.
I knew you had such a beautiful girlfriend!
The young lady, completely oblivious to the subtle implications, happily dressed up Shi Miao in several outfits, indulging in her desire to dress her up. She even took out her phone and added Shi Miao on WeChat.
Jiang Yingxu: ".
He didn't say anything.
Shi Miao should have some friends to go out with, instead of being confined to his house all day long.
It just so happens that Zhu Ting is the kind of person who never suffers a loss, so it would be good to subtly guide this naive little cat.
Therefore, Zhu Ting would often ask Shi Miao to go out for shopping and meals.
This time is no different.
Zhu Ting stirred her coffee, then lazily propped her chin up and watched Shi Miao eat cake.
How can someone be so cute?
The young lady sighed inwardly more than once.
It's cute from the left, cute from the right, cute from the front, cute from the back, cute from the top, and cute from the bottom!
We need to see these adorable creatures to have the energy to live!
As she was admiring the view, she noticed with her sharp eyes that when the girl lowered her head, the collar of her sweater was slightly askew, revealing the side of her snow-white neck.
There seems to be a very faint red color on it.
Zhu Ting raised an eyebrow, clicked her tongue, reached out to tug at her collar, and said irritably, "Honey, didn't you set any rules for Jiang Yingxu?"
Shi Miao: "?"
Zhu Ting gestured, "The hickeys shouldn't be on the outside of your clothes."
Shi Miao: "??"
Shi Miao asked, bewildered, "What hickey?"
Zhu Ting: "?"
Zhu Ting asked hesitantly, "Isn't this a hickey?"
Using the small mirror that came with the Zhuting cushion foundation, Shi Miao looked at the side of her neck and said blankly, "This is from when I was bitten by a mosquito this morning, and I scratched it."
How can there be mosquitoes in winter!
If Zhu Ting hadn't known Shi Miao's personality, she would have been so angry at this obviously perfunctory excuse that she almost laughed.
But if it was Shi Miao who said it.
Zhu Ting still harbored some doubts—not about Shi Miao's words, but about a certain ruthless wolf in sheep's clothing.
"It really wasn't Jiang Yingxu who secretly kissed him?"
Shi Miao was stunned for a moment, "Why did he kiss me here?"
Zhu Ting was even more puzzled, "Otherwise, where did you kiss? You only kissed on the lips?"
Shi Miao: "."
Shi Miao: "...Kiss my head."
It still has a cat-like head.
After transforming into human form, Jiang Yingxu, who used to bite her ears and suck her belly, became much more restrained every time he petted the cat, only kissing her head and little paws, and rarely burying his face in her belly.
Humanoids are even less likely to be one.
Every time, he would eagerly approach her with his cat-like eyes, his long eyelashes drawn up, his posture somewhat tense for some reason, as he raised his hand to rub her head.
Even if they hug, they'll let go very quickly.
The lines of her profile are a bit stiff, as if she is restraining or suppressing something.
If Jiang Yingxu's gaze hadn't remained so gentle, the cat would have almost doubted whether her appeal to humans had diminished.
That's what I was thinking.
Zhu Ting asked in surprise, "You two are so innocent in your relationship, you haven't even kissed?"
Haven't you been living together for several years?
The cat remained silent.
The cat was suspicious.
The cat was shocked.
"What do you mean, dating?!"
-
Shi Miao walked out of the mall feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Jiang Yingxu had already parked the car on the side of the road. After she got in, he started the car and pushed the dessert box that was placed in the middle of the seat over.
"I heard them say last time that there's a dessert shop here that makes really good chestnut rolls."
"Try it and see if you like it."
Jiang Yingxu has always been like this; he especially likes to bring things for Shi Miao.
From small desserts and snacks to large items like jewelry and clothing.
Shi Miao never found it strange.
It's only right for your humble servant to offer good things to the Cat King!
But after what Zhu Ting said today...
fall in love.
The three words seemed to have been enlarged, bouncing around in her mind like a bouncy popping effect.
After hearing her denial, Zhu Ting looked unconvinced.
After hearing her describe their relationship, Zhu Ting gave a knowing laugh.
"What else is this but dating?"
She coldly replied, "Anyway, I won't kneel down to put shoes on for an ordinary friend."
"I don't think about bringing delicious food or interesting little things to ordinary friends every day."
"I would never send a message to ask when I'm coming home after a period of socializing with ordinary friends."
Shi Miao silently covered her phone, which had just received a message from Jiang Yingxu.
Zhu Ting said, "I can distinguish between friends and lovers."
Jiang Yingxu's eyes were so tender, almost like they were filled with sugar threads, overflowing with precious love.
Just looking at it makes my teeth ache; it's like being force-fed a huge block of candy, cloyingly sweet.
"Otherwise, you can go and ask Jiang Yingxu."
Zhu Ting raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of anticipation.
"Let's see if he wants to be just friends with you, or if he wants to take things further."
"..."
Shi Miao simply hadn't thought about it.
But with Zhu Ting's touch, those budding feelings seemed to instantly transform into a sweet, soft spring, bubbling in his heart and sending a tingling, throbbing sensation and burning heat throughout his body.
Even the winter wind when I came out couldn't dispel it.
If I were to date Jiang Yingxu.
So, will he just kiss the cat and hug it tightly, like he used to?
With her face flushed like a warm kitten, she quietly tilted her head to look at the driver's seat.
His gaze swept over Jiang Yingxu's high brow bone and nose bridge, and then down to his pale, thin lips.
So, if we're dating, we can kiss?
What would happen if they kissed?
Is it as soft as a marshmallow?
Shi Miao was lost in thought.
The car stopped at the red light. Jiang Yingxu turned his head, his dark eyes meeting hers, and he lowered his voice, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
This cat has always been ignorant of its own limitations.
Having been pampered for so long, all my requests have been fulfilled.
Therefore, they have no idea how to be tactful or subtle.
They just went ahead and charged in recklessly.
With a serious expression, she asked the question.
"Jiang Yingxu, do you want to date me?"
