Jin Jun was both angry and amused. She grabbed the powder puff on the table and threw it at Yun Xu: "You are the one living in the Qing Dynasty!"
She had said that on purpose. Who knew Yunxu would actually give her such a reaction? Who was so feudal and old-fashioned? She was the successor of socialism. How could she be such an old-fashioned person?
"I understand your concerns," Yun Xu took the powder puff and gently placed it next to Jin Jun's hand. "Don't worry, our family doesn't discriminate based on family background. As for the talk of her being an actor, that's completely nonsense."
Qi Yao lowered her eyes as she listened to the conversation. That's why comparison is so important. How sincere is Yun Xu towards Jin Jun? Looking at Chu Zheng again, Qi Yao raised the corners of her lips in sarcasm. You can tell whether someone is sincere or not.
Since others don't put their minds to it, why should she spend her time on others? It will only make her dirty.
Jin Jun had said something quite right. Chu Zheng was clearly a seasoned expert in the world of romance. Qi Yao felt uncomfortable the moment someone like him got even slightly close.
But it's other people's business, and it has nothing to do with her. As long as he doesn't get close to her, Qi Yao can completely pretend that she doesn't know such a person and that they are not the same kind of people.
Chu Zheng felt a little uncomfortable, wondering if Yun Xu was really serious. This made his own insincerity seem particularly lacking. Knowing he wouldn't gain anything by staying any longer, Chu Zheng forced himself to say a few polite words before leaving.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the lounge calmed down considerably. Jin Jun tied her long hair into a high ponytail and asked, "Are you and your friend... very familiar?"
"It's okay," Yun Xu answered carefully. "We grew up in the same compound, and we occasionally have some interactions at work. As for private gatherings, I rarely go."
Jin Jun laughed: "I just feel that... he seems to like A Yao, but his attitude is not right. It's like he wants to give A Yao a try."
"I won't give it a try with him," Qi Yao said, removing the jewelry from her hair. "If I were to just give it a try, then he'd only want to give it a try with me. My feelings aren't that cheap, and he's not my type."
Jin Jun was curious: "What type do you like?"
Qi Yao thought for a moment and said, "I like gentle and refined people, like the scholars of ancient times."
"Many scholars are unfaithful," Jin Jun said quietly, "and there are too many scholars who are heartless and disloyal."
"I know," Qi Yao smiled, "I'm just giving an example. Besides, I don't want to have a long-distance relationship, and I don't want to be too far away from home."
Jin Jun understood: "It doesn't matter. Our A Yao has so many suitors. There's no need for her to end up with someone who has no moral integrity."
Qi Yao: "That's the truth. Just because he likes me doesn't mean I have to like him. How is that any different from flirting with men? I really don't want anything from him."
Listening to the two of them talking, Yun Xu thought to himself that Chu Zheng would probably never get what he wanted in this lifetime. That was the truth. He had put so much effort into pursuing Jin Jun, with flowers, gifts, family, and friends, everything.
How could Chu Zheng come here empty-handed? Perhaps Chu Zheng thought that because of his status and position, as long as he showed the slightest sign of affection, the other party would take the initiative to pounce on him?
Who did he think he was? This was an extremely disrespectful behavior. No wonder Qi Yao and Jin Jun were so unimpressed with him; Chu Zheng was inherently condescending.
Yun Xu just thought, haha, who in this world is more noble than who? If you really want to pursue someone, you should show your sincerity. It's not like you have to accept my love for you. This kind of attitude will not be popular with anyone else.
Moreover, Qi Yao, while seemingly quiet and gentle, actually hides a lot of hidden edges. Compared to the straightforward Jin Jun, Qi Yao is clearly more thoughtful. In short, a girl like this is not easy to pursue.
So after looking around, Jin Jun is still the best. After once again lamenting his own judgment, Yun Xu checked the time: "Let's go eat? Do you want to join us?"
Qi Yao politely declined: "I won't be joining you. The team leader just said he needs me for something."
"Junjun, just remember to bring me food when the time comes."
Jin Jun agreed immediately: "No problem."
As soon as Chu Zheng left, Jin Jun felt the lounge was very quiet, and she spoke without hesitation: "Chu Zheng was like that...how could you be like that?"
Yun Xu chuckled: "What am I like?"
"It's pure love," Jin Jun said frankly: "I heard Jingjing and Sister A Li talk about you, and I feel that you are an absolute pure love god of war."
"I can't help it. Maybe my family is too happy." Yun Xu smiled and said, "Because the love I've seen is so beautiful, I have higher expectations for my own love."
"I'd rather be single than settle."
Jin Jun scratched his head: "There's nothing special about me."
"No, you're very special." Yun Xu retorted: "Extremely beautiful, extremely charming..."
Qi Yao smiled and shook her head: "Alright, you two should go out and eat."
Don't torture her here. She was already upset enough that a playboy like Chu Zheng liked her, and now her friend also met the god of pure love. To be honest, Qi Yao felt a little weird.
Why hasn't she met a pure love warrior? Why are the ones who like her always Neptunes like Chu Zheng? Is it because she has a face that attracts Neptunes?
Qi Yao was helpless. As expected, it was better to focus on career than on men.
Jin Jun and Yun Xu went on their own dates, while Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun finally arrived in City S. After leaving the airport, they were naturally picked up by the driver Brother Fan had arranged in advance, and the friends went back to their respective homes.
After getting in the car, Xie Jing fell asleep leaning on Zhou Jiyun's shoulder. She had been busy every day for eight days during the Spring Festival and was much more tired than usual.
Zhou Jiyun touched her cheek and didn't bother Xie Jing. He wasn't an iron man, so he was naturally a little tired. They both fell asleep in the back seat. Si Xi glanced at the two people in the back seat, and the car drove more steadily.
After arriving downstairs, Zhou Jiyun opened his eyes. Compared to before, his eyes were much clearer. After settling Xie Jing into her room, he informed the elders that she was safe.
Afterwards, Zhou Jiyun went to the bathroom to wash up, while the bodyguards and assistants who accompanied him went to the opposite room to rest.
Xie Jing was woken up by the heat in the middle of the night. It felt like there was a huge furnace next to her, scorching her whole body. She shifted uncomfortably, pushed Zhou Jiyun's arm, and muttered, "It's hot."
Zhou Jiyun quickly woke up and looked at the air conditioner temperature: "I turned it down one degree. Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Xie Jing's eyes were a little hazy. When Zhou Jiyun asked her if she was hungry, she subconsciously looked at her stomach, and then her stomach growled twice out of courtesy.
Xie Jing blinked: "I'm hungry. The airplane food...is not tasty."
