Chapter 23: The Overbearing Boss's Runaway Bride (Twenty-Two)



Xi Mengru noticed Sophie's restraint and took the initiative to explain the reason to her.

"Brother, when you asked me out for afternoon tea, Si Jin picked me up and took me to his bar for the anniversary celebration. I thought we were all friends, so I brought him along. Si Jin said..."

"I said I wanted to help her screen and stop her from always looking for men in the garbage dump."

Si Jin replied coldly.

Sophie was caught off guard and spat out a mouthful of tea.

Brother, are you polite?

Is it really okay for you to be so straightforward?

"Si Jin, don't scare the little brother."

Xi Mengru glared at Si Jin with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, and she considerately handed Sophie a tissue.

"Thank you, Miss Xi."

Sophie wiped it and thanked him.

"Brother, from now on, just call me Mengru."

The tips of Xi Mengru's ears turned slightly red, and she raised her hand awkwardly to smooth the hair beside her ear.

"Okay, Mengru. From now on, you don't have to call me brother. Just call me Jia Nan."

Sophie didn't hesitate and went along with it.

Xi Mengru nodded shyly.

"Jia Nan, right? I heard from Mengru that you rescued her from danger several times?"

Si Jin stroked the wall of the cup beside him and spoke casually.

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Sophie smiled brightly, and her anxious heart slowly settled down.

It seems that today's game is just a simple introduction by a friend, and there is no tricky stuff going on.

As long as she can successfully hide it from Si Jin and not arouse his suspicion, she will soon be able to successfully conquer the heroine and obtain a high-value gift package!

Sophie happily imagined the wonderful moment when she would get the gift package.

Si Jin looked at the faint smile on the corner of her mouth calmly.

His eyes were slightly cold.

After three rounds of tea, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Seeing that Si Jin was no different from usual, Sophie secretly affirmed her disguise skills.

When the conversation got heated, she made up jokes about what she had seen and heard in the fairy tale world and told them, which made Xi Mengru laugh continuously.

On the contrary, Si Jin successfully maintained his aloof personality until the end.

"Mengru, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll take you home when I come back."

Sophie raised her eyebrows towards Xi Mengru.

Xi Mengru blushed and nodded in response.

"Today is a good day, everything you want will come true~"

Sophie hummed a little tune as she came to the bathroom. Without thinking too much, she walked into the women's bathroom on the right.

It was not until she had taken care of her menstrual problems and saw herself in the mirror while washing her hands that she realized that she was now a man!

Fortunately, there was no one else in the bathroom except her at this time.

Sophie lowered the brim of her hat, turned quickly and walked out of the women's restroom.

As she turned the corner, a pair of shiny leather shoes suddenly appeared in her sight.

Why is it that everywhere she goes, there are people blocking her way?

Sophie raised her head unhappily, and Si Jin's expressionless handsome face suddenly caught her eye.

She froze.

Coincidence, just coincidence.

After skillfully giving herself some psychological self-suggestion, Sophie took the initiative to greet Si Jin.

"Si Jin, what a coincidence, you're here to use the restroom too."

Sophie spoke with an awkward smile, but Si Jin remained silent.

He lowered his eyes and stared at her, a curve appearing at the corner of his cold mouth.

Dangerous and dazzling.

!!!

Sophie's heart snapped and she thought to herself that something was wrong.

She reflexively wanted to run.

Si Jin didn't give her this opportunity.

He easily rolled her into the men's restroom nearby.

"Tell me, why do you want to get close to Mengru?"

Si Jin leaned over and pushed her against the sink, asking in a stern voice.

A hint of sinisterness was faintly rolling in his dark eyes.

Sophie looked at Si Jin, who was so close to her, in a daze, and simply put on a brave face and pretended to be stupid.

"Si Jin, I don't understand what you're talking about. The reason I'm close to Meng Ru is naturally because I like her. Could it be that you have some prejudice against me?"

She shook her head in feigned confusion, blatantly shifting the blame.

Si Jin narrowed his eyes and raised his hand towards her face.

With a "hiss", the two small mustaches at the corners of Sophie's mouth were pulled off by him.

Sophie was in so much pain that tears came out, but she couldn't scream.

What if the heroine finds out at this time, wouldn’t she be in trouble?

Si Jin lowered his eyes to look at her red rabbit-like eyes, his expression froze. Then he raised his hand to grab her jaw and pushed her closer to him.

"Jiang Ying, you still refuse to tell the truth?"

Hiss, her jaw seems to be dislocated...

Sophie frowned in pain.

Damn, this madman is so cruel!

You don’t even know how to be gentle with women, what a waste of having such a handsome face!

Sophie secretly complained, but because she was under someone else's control, she had to pretend to be submissive.

"Brother Si Jin, listen to my excuses. No, listen to my explanation! Things are definitely not what you think!"

Sophie once again threw out that most useless line as a delaying tactic.

Si Jin let go upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appearing between his cold brows.

"Actually, the reason I did this is entirely because..."

Sophie spoke sincerely, and Si Jin listened carefully.

The opportunity has come!

Sophie's eyes lit up. She pushed Si Jin away with one palm and rushed out of the men's room without looking back.

Si Jin immediately realized what this woman was up to.

He reached out his hand to her, but what he got was the black baseball cap on her head.

The beautiful long hair was no longer covered by the hat and poured out in an instant.
