The man lowered his gaze to those smiling black eyes, as if he could see his own reflection in the girl's dark pupils. When he saw that Qi Jiu's eyes were only for him, he smiled.
I like you, I like you a lot. I liked you before, and I like you even more now.
Liu Yun: "..." No, this feeling of liking someone is different, isn't it? How can the past compare to the present?
Upon hearing this, the girl was stunned, and her eyes widened involuntarily as she looked at him.
This was clearly an answer to her question, such a normal answer, so why did it sound so different coming from his mouth?
Teasing? Confessing your feelings? Or...?
Liu Yun: "..." You can't see me, you can't see me.
Before the two people who had just locked eyes could say anything, a sharp voice came from next door.
It was sudden, and the voice was also very familiar.
"What do you mean? I already said it was a misunderstanding! Why can't I go in? You're not the owner, why are you making this decision?"
The sound was so jarring that it not only attracted the attention of Qi Jiu and the others, but also drew the attention of other people who were shopping nearby.
In an instant, everyone in the area was drawn to that place.
However, Lin Yue didn't seem to feel ashamed at all, and was still arguing with the manager of G China's direct sales store, her mind solely focused on the argument.
"I'm sorry, miss, but our superiors have regulations that you are already on a blacklist and cannot be released permanently. Moreover, this is also the master's order; you are not allowed to enter."
The manager smiled kindly, but the words he spoke were icy cold, making Lin Yue's face darken and even stiffen.
Is this the master's intention? G is now in charge of everything.
"Miss Lin?"
Liu Yun recognized the person and turned to look at him. He had overheard everything that had just happened and understood instantly.
"No wonder he had to take the back door; it turns out he was blocked by G and was trying to sneak in."
Qi Jiu smiled, a hint of agreement on her face, and slowly walked over.
"Miss Lin?"
Upon hearing Qi Jiu's voice, Lin Yue, who was about to continue arguing with the manager, froze, her breath caught in her throat, and she slowly turned her head away.
Upon seeing the girl's alluring appearance, a sense of guilt welled up inside him.
Perhaps because she had secretly posted Qi Jiu's photos online before, she felt awkward and guilty after seeing her in person. However, since the two of them hadn't publicly broken off relations yet, she could only force a smile.
A forced smile.
"Miss Qi."
Lin Yue didn't notice the extremely respectful manner of the G direct sales store manager after Qi Jiu arrived.
However, Qi Silin noticed this slight movement, his dark eyes gleaming with scrutiny and interest.
"Is there something you want to buy?" Qi Jiu asked softly, looking at Lin Yue. She could still remember what happened at the G direct sales store last time.
Although they didn't have a full-blown argument, things still got a bit tense.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yue's features stiffened for a moment, then she nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
"Actually, it's alright. I don't particularly like it. I just heard about Wan Zhou's new work and became interested, so I wanted to go in and listen to it."
Liu Yun: "..."
Listen to this reason yourself, is it reasonable?
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu laughed, looking at her as if she were an idiot. "It's okay, if you want to listen, you can listen on your phone, it's free, and there's no need to block the way at the entrance of the G direct sales store."
Lin Yue didn't break off the facade, but Qi Jiu couldn't keep up the act.
She has no desire to continue interacting with such a hypocritical person. It's too disgusting.
Perhaps it was because the young girl was being too blunt, but Lin Yue's face visibly paled.
Now that things have come to this point, she can no longer continue to pretend. Although posting other people's photos without permission is wrong, she's only trying to find out the truth.
Yes, she did nothing wrong.
By doing this, she revealed the truth to the public, and she was right.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yue's guilty conscience dissipated considerably, and her expression and eyes changed significantly.
"Wanzhou is a good singer and a promising talent. The composer of this new song is the internationally renowned composer Q. Wanzhou's future is bright."
As she spoke, she smiled, her eyes carrying a strange glint in them, her words carrying a hidden meaning.
"He could have become a huge star, but he spends all his time hanging out with all sorts of shady people. What a mess. He's not going to go far."
Qi Jiu could clearly feel the sarcastic looks from the people next to her after she finished speaking.
She could easily figure out who those "random people" were referring to.
But she wasn't angry; instead, she laughed. It seems the paparazzi from before were hired by her.
Sure enough, she couldn't resist.
The man who had remained silent until now seemed to be suppressing his emotions upon hearing this.
A few seconds later, he finally couldn't take it anymore and turned to look at Liu Yun.
"Is the Lin family idle lately? Now they're even making sarcastic remarks? Give them something to do, preferably so that this young lady doesn't even have time to go shopping or show her face in public!"
Qi Silin looked at Lin Yue's profile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint chill slowly emanated from him.
What is that?!
Liu Yun, who had just nodded, was speechless.
"clear."
What's this called? You can't hide the urge to kill someone in your eyes.
On the other side, Qi Jiu smiled and said, "You're right, birds of a feather flock together."
The smile on her lips was somewhat inexplicable. Lin Yue followed her gaze to the G logo, and now she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
"Birds of a feather flock together"? What does this saying mean?
Actually, the conflict wasn't initially between the two of them; Qin Yao was involved. What does this mean? Is this a dig at her?
Does that mean she's the same kind of person as Qin Yao? Or that she'll end up like Qin Yao?
That's incredibly malicious! An adopted daughter is just an adopted daughter; even if she marries into a wealthy family, she's nothing!
However, Lin Yue didn't show it; she just smiled awkwardly and quietly changed the subject.
"Miss Qi, I heard you're the one who got the letter of introduction? Congratulations! University A is a great school, and it's also my school. I'm sure we'll see each other often in the future."
Lin Yue's smile seemed somewhat forced. Before Qi Jiu could say anything, she spoke again. "I heard that the letter of introduction was personally given to you by the director of the Education Bureau this time? I'm so envious."
Qi Jiu nodded. "You've already posted it online, why are you still asking? Are you envious? Why didn't you say you were envious when you secretly took pictures of me?"
The sudden revelation of the truth was unexpected for Lin Yue, and also for Qi Silin, who was standing next to her. He thought this little girl was planning to play a roundabout tactic, but he didn't expect her to be so disrespectful.
