Chapter 13 The Female Supporting Character in the Control Group—The Entangled Shen Yu
Shen Yu's patience had run out. He looked at his watch; it was already 11 p.m.
Seeing the three people beside him eager for another round, Shen Yu raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice weary:
"I'm not coming. I have an important meeting tomorrow. You guys have fun, I'll pay for today."
Wang Zihui, who had been losing all along, was about to disagree when he looked up and saw Shen Yu's eyes, and immediately backed down.
"Brother Yu, you're so generous! Brother Yu, go back and get some rest!" Li Jiacheng, being very perceptive, didn't stop him.
When Zhao Yan heard that Shen Yu was leaving, he glanced at his watch and realized it was indeed very late.
Looking back at my girlfriend sitting on the sofa, I saw her eating fruit and chatting with her best friend.
Noticing Zhao Yan's gaze, Chen Ke asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yan: "It's already eleven o'clock. Are you sleepy? Do you want to go home?"
Seeing Shen Yu about to get up and leave, Zhang Jiaojiao tugged at Chen Ke's sleeve from behind, and Chen Ke nodded to indicate that she understood.
"I'm a little sleepy. We have to go to work tomorrow, Ayan. Let's go now."
Chen Ke stood up and walked straight to Zhao Yan, who was sitting down. She grabbed one of his hands and shook it playfully, saying, "Yan, you really are a thoughtful boyfriend!"
Zhao Yan enjoyed his girlfriend's praise. He got up with her help, raised his other free hand, and gently stroked her nose: "You're such a thoughtful girlfriend!"
The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes, their eyes practically melting into each other's, and their sweet love was tangible in that moment.
Wang Zihui felt goosebumps on his exposed arms, but he was also emotionally intelligent and wouldn't expose his friend's shortcomings in front of others.
Actually, he couldn't understand why Zhao Yan would fall in love with Chen Ke, but now that he saw Zhao Yan, who used to be so unsmiling, had become a different person since falling in love, smiling more often, he could only say that the power of love was really amazing, Wang Zihui thought to himself.
But he couldn't hold back his words, so after thinking for a moment, Wang Zihui blurted out, "The air conditioning is set too low, even my neighbor is getting goosebumps!"
Li Jiacheng: "Me too..."
Zhang Jiaojiao watched her best friend and boyfriend interact with envy, and a surge of motivation welled up inside her. She also wanted to try her best!
In Zhang Jiaojiao's mind, her best friend's experience was like a romance novel: a newly hired ordinary employee became acquainted with the company president after an elevator incident. The huge difference in their social status did not separate them. From acquaintance to love, from the man breaking off his engagement to their public announcement on social media, the journey was not smooth, but the ending was good.
Novels always have balanced literature. Zhang Jiaojiao was looking forward to her other half. From the first time she met Shen Yu, she felt that she had finally found him!
Shen Yu originally intended to leave directly, but upon hearing that his friend was also leaving, he naturally felt it inappropriate to leave alone, so he decided to stay in the private room for a while.
Shen Yu, who was married and enjoying a sweet life, watched the couple pouring out their hearts to each other with great interest. He didn't feel anything was wrong, only regretting that the person he missed wasn't beside him at that moment.

The four of them left the private room together. Shen Yu walked in front, followed by Zhang Jiaojiao, and finally Zhao Yan and Chen Ke held hands.
Zhang Jiaojiao originally intended to sit next to Shen Yu, and Chen Ke deliberately pulled Zhao Yan to chat, wanting to create an opportunity for her best friend. However, Shen Yu did not notice their little schemes at all, and was only thinking about going back as soon as possible.
As I stepped out of the clubhouse, a car was already waiting by the roadside.
Shen Yu walked to the Rolls-Royce, turned around and nodded to Zhao Yan, saying, "I'll go first."
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Shen Yu gripped the back door handle, about to open it, when Chen Ke glanced at Zhang Jiaojiao and hurriedly said, "President Shen, please wait!"
Upon hearing the call, Shen Yu paused, turned around in confusion, wondering why the other person was calling him.
Shen Yu initially disagreed with Zhao Yan's high-profile decision to dissolve the engagement. He offered some advice, but it had no effect, so Shen Yu simply ignored it.
"Is there something you need?" Seeing that the other person looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak, Shen Yu could only ask patiently because she was his brother's girlfriend.
Zhao Yan looked at his girlfriend with a puzzled expression.
Chen Ke smiled sheepishly: "There is something I would like to trouble President Shen with."
“Ayan drove here today. He’s been drinking again. I’m not a very good driver. Jiaojiao lives in the opposite direction from us, so I don’t dare to drive that far. Since Jiaojiao is going the same way as President Shen, could you please give her a ride?”
Before Shen Yu could even speak, Zhang Jiaojiao promptly refused, "Ah... no need, no need to trouble President Shen. Coco, I can take a taxi back by myself."
Chen Ke said with a worried look, "No, I'm not comfortable letting a girl like you take a taxi so late at night!"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yu with a pleading expression.
Zhao Yan chimed in, "Coco is right. Girls should be careful when traveling at night. Let's ride with Brother Yu. He's going the same way anyway."
Zhao Yan was so focused on his girlfriend's thoughts that he didn't notice his brother's icy gaze at all.
The summer night has shed the heat of the day, and a gentle breeze brings a touch of coolness to one's heart.
Shen Yu's voice was even colder than the chill in the air: "Get in the car."
As he spoke, Shen Yu opened the back door and sat down sideways.
Zhang Jiaojiao looked at Chen Ke somewhat helplessly, while Chen Ke, with the air of an older sister, pulled the hesitant Zhang Jiaojiao to the back seat on the other side of the car. At this time, all the car windows were open.
Chen Ke bent down and thanked Shen Yu through the car window: "Thank you for today, President Shen. I'll have Ayan treat you to dinner another day."
As she was about to open the back door, she was surprised to find that it wouldn't open. Chen Ke looked at Shen Yu in confusion and was startled by his sudden eye contact.
Shen Yu's eyes were sharp, as if he could see right through her, and Chen Ke felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Go to the passenger seat." Shen Yu didn't say much, but clicked his tongue inwardly.
Chen Ke was extremely embarrassed, as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, leaving her feeling utterly chilled. She had lost all face and dignity.
Zhao Yan was also standing nearby. Seeing his girlfriend on the verge of tears, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her and quickly came to her rescue: "Yes, sit in the front. Brother Yu is tired and needs to rest."
Zhang Jiaojiao was excited at this moment. Even though there was a small hiccup, the result was good. At least Shen Yu remembered her, Zhang Jiaojiao!
The beginning is always the hardest, but she and he were in the same car and started to interact. She believed that their interactions would not be limited to tonight!
The car started, and the driver focused on driving. Zhang Jiaojiao looked shyly at the rearview mirror and was about to say thank you when she heard Shen Yu's voice.
"Take this lady first."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, before the two people in front of him could speak, he quickly pressed the button, and the partition in the middle slowly rose until the isolation was complete.
Zhang Jiaojiao, who was about to speak, was speechless.
