Si Jin skimmed the surface of the water like a dragonfly, only taking a brief sip.
His narrow eyes fell on Su Weiwei's raised right hand.
Are you going to hit him?
She noticed his scrutinizing gaze.
Sophie quickly retracted her magic-stained fingertips and put her hands behind her back.
This guy shouldn't have seen anything he shouldn't have seen, right?
While she was pondering, a strong force pinched her chin.
"Jiang Ying, what is your purpose in getting so close to me?"
Si Jin's voice was indifferent and cold.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the absent-minded woman in front of him, feeling a little unhappy.
He didn't miss any of her movements in that surprise kiss just now.
From the initial surprise to shock, and then to frustration and anger...
That's right, anger.
He really couldn't guess this complex change of emotions.
"Of course it's for the cooperation between you... and me."
Sophie calmed herself down and quickly tried to save face for what she had blurted out.
If it weren't for the remaining 45 points of bond value, did he really think he could still jump around in front of her safely like now?
They must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!
What's the matter? At least he needs to be given a full set of this lightning spell massage.
Guaranteed to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you will be reincarnated on the spot!
"cooperate?"
Si Jin half-closed his eyes and picked out two words from the conversation.
"Mr. Si, you are really a forgetful person."
Sophie giggled and distanced herself from him without leaving any trace.
"Didn't we agree before that if I helped Master Jiang and Miss Xi get together, you'd rent me a place to stay temporarily? But your rent is so expensive, so I thought of applying for a job at 'Ye Se' to earn some money. Who knew that 'Ye Se' would just happen to be your shop? Perhaps we really are destined to be together."
Sophie smiled sweetly and talked nonsense seriously.
Si Jin's eyes were cold, and he obviously didn't buy her words.
"The Jiang family is very wealthy. When did you, Miss Jiang, ever need to earn money yourself?"
This guy really doesn't believe her.
Sophie secretly criticized him and pinched her thigh hard.
Hiss, it hurts so much.
A layer of mist instantly filled her eyes.
"I openly ran away from my marriage, which violated Daddy and Mommy's bottom line. Not only did they freeze my bank account, they also confiscated all my assets. I'm penniless and homeless. The only money I have is used to pay rent..."
Sophie was about to cry when she talked about her sadness.
Si Jin remained silent.
Mr. Jiang's way of doing things is indeed quite famous in the industry.
"Since you know that's the bottom line, why do you still choose to escape the marriage?"
Si Jin raised his eyes and changed the subject.
After all, Jiang Ying's "deep affection" for Jiang Yichen was well-known among the major families. Now that Jiang Yichen had finally agreed to the engagement, she suddenly changed her mind?
It's really unbelievable.
Facing Si Jinyao's dark eyes, Sophie knew that he was not so easy to fool.
She put away the fake tears on her face and asked seriously.
"Mr. Si, if you were repeatedly rejected and disliked by the person you liked, how would you feel?"
Si Jin's eyes froze and he remained silent.
Sophie smiled softly and answered her own question.
"Perhaps to outsiders, marrying Jiang Yichen has been my long-cherished wish, Jiang Ying. But only I, the person involved, know how many times I experienced heartbreaking disappointment before finally giving up on the man I loved but couldn't have. I know he didn't marry me out of true love, but to impress Xi Mengru. Since that's the case, why not take the initiative to help him? That way, I can still be known as someone who 'helps others achieve their goals,' right?"
As the last word of the words fell, a hint of sadness appeared on Sophie's bright face.
Inadvertently, a tear slid down the corner of her red eye.
Si Jin's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
He frowned almost imperceptibly.
This doesn't seem to be a good sign.
[Ding! Successfully aroused the hero's pity, bond value +5.]
Sophie still had tears in her eyes and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Fortunately, he lowered his head in time to hide the joy in his eyes.
"Since Miss Jiang has nowhere to go for the time being, I can let you stay at 'Night' and work for a week on trial."
Si Jin's indifferent voice came from above his head.
Sophie knew when to stop and bowed to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, boss. Long live the boss!"
Ignoring the woman whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, Si Jin turned and left.
After the footsteps faded away, Sophie stood up happily.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind.
Sophie realized it later.
Damn!
That bastard took her first kiss!
…
When Sophie chased out from the corridor, Si Jinzheng and Xi Mengru were talking on the side.
Jiang Yichen is nowhere to be found.
She leaned over and listened with great interest.
"Si Jin, thank you for inviting me to come to 'Night' to see me off. I took the initiative to bring Yi Chen along, and I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Xi Mengru apologized to Si Jin with an apologetic look on her face, but Si Jin just smiled indifferently.
He played with the silver ring on his index finger and said casually, "Mengru, you just returned to China not long ago. Are you really not considering staying here?"
What? The heroine still wants to leave?
Sophie frowned, feeling that her sincerity had been betrayed.
So all her efforts and sacrifices for half a day were in vain?
How can this be justified!
"Si Jin, Yi Chen... I have no reason to stay any longer."
Xi Mengru seemed to be hesitant to speak, looking melancholy.
Si Jin knew what she was thinking and did not show any intention of stopping her. Instead, he talked about the "Night" anniversary celebration.
"Night's anniversary is in two days. Why don't we celebrate it together before heading back?"
Xi Mengru bit her lip, seeming a little hesitant.
Such an awkward attitude made Sophie, who was standing by, very anxious.
If the heroine is really unable to let go and abandons the hero and just walks away, her Plan B - the plan to bring the hero and heroine together will be completely ruined!
Wait a minute, I got it.
Sophie's eyes lit up.
She quickly picked up her phone and typed a text message to Xi Mengru.
Feeling the vibration of her phone, Xi Mengru shyly exchanged glances with Si Jin, turned around and clicked to check.
The four big words "Driver Brother" immediately caught my eye.
What followed was that unique name.
"Beautiful lady, I'm going to move out of this city in a few days. You're one of the few people I know here. How about we have a meal together before we leave?"
Looking at the ghost face with its tongue sticking out at the signature, Xi Mengru couldn't help laughing.
To be honest, after they parted at Efes Restaurant last time, she had not personally thanked the driver for being drunk.
Without thinking, she raised her hand and replied with two words.
"OK."
After receiving the heroine's affirmative reply, Sophie cheered silently while holding her phone.
Yes!
The retention plan was successful!
