Chu He subconsciously stopped the car. Inside the large floor-to-ceiling glass window, a fair-skinned woman was sipping her juice, a smile playing on her lips as she spoke to the person opposite her. Her almond-shaped eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.
Those eyes glanced over here unintentionally, clean and clear like two pools of spring water.
For a moment, he was so engrossed in the story that the blind fortune teller had said before came to mind: wearing red underwear in your birth year will bring you wealth and even more romantic opportunities.
Du Qingyan didn't notice anyone watching her; her eyes sparkled as she spoke to Gu Baiwei across from her.
"Sister Weiwei, your boss Shen is really terrifying. I just touched your arm, and his eyes almost glared through my arm."
Du Qingyan had been holding these words in all the way, and only after Shen Xuan and Shen Yanqing left did she have time to pour out her grievances to Gu Baiwei.
She was so cold on the way here that she almost got goosebumps.
Gu Baiwei found it somewhat amusing: "You must have seen it wrong."
How could someone like Shen Yanqing be jealous over such a trivial matter, especially since Qingyan is a girl?
Du Qingyan pouted: "I'm telling the truth. Your husband is such a jealous person. You should spend less time with men in the future. He gets all worked up over just me linking arms with him. If you spend too much time with men, won't Boss Shen throw you into the sea to feed the sharks?"
She felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about that look in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, "I absolutely can't date men like Boss Shen or that Chu guy from earlier. They're so fierce and creepy, they scare me to death. I'll date someone gentle, kind, and considerate..."
Gu Baiwei was amused by her and wanted to laugh. She turned her head and seemed to see a familiar figure flash by outside the window.
What happened? She thought she just saw Chu He?
Today's events were all a misunderstanding. They have no connection whatsoever, and even out of respect for Shen Yanqing, he would never cause them any more trouble. Perhaps she just misread things.
The thought had barely crossed her mind when a strong male voice suddenly rang out behind her: "Miss Du, Miss Gu, would you mind coming together?"
Why does that voice sound so familiar?
Gu Baiwei stiffened, and she and Du Qingyan turned their heads at the same time, only to see a tall man with a buzz cut standing by their table, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Chu He's gaze swept over Gu Baiwei and landed on Du Qingyan. He took a long stride and sat down directly next to her, casually crossing his legs and starting to look at the menu.
No, is this person crazy? They don't even know each other!
The two looked on in bewilderment at the uninvited man beside them, only to find him calmly instructing the waiter, "I'd like the same one as this lady next to me."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Du Qingyan, a slight smile playing on his lips. His features were sharp and handsome, and his bronze skin gave him the air of a tough guy from a TV drama.
Du Qingyan felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and after holding back for a while, she couldn't help but say, "No, what exactly do you want? I already said that today's events were a misunderstanding."
Chu He rested his elbows on the table, his fists clenched, and propped his chin up: "Isn't it obvious? I'm pursuing you."
Gu Baiwei almost spat the glass of juice she had just drunk onto Du Qingyan's face. The two looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes: Holy crap, this person is crazy.
Du Qingyan's face darkened: "You're sick, Sister Weiwei, let's go."
She preferred handsome young men like Shen Xuan, not the burly man in front of her who looked like he could be killed with a single punch.
Chu He stretched his long leg forward, completely blocking Du Qingyan's way out: "Miss Du, you haven't answered me yet, whether you're willing or not."
Du Qingyan: "..." I really want to curse.
She suppressed her frustration: "What exactly do you like about me? I'll change it, okay?"
I like them both.
As soon as Chu He finished speaking, Du Qingyan raised her foot sharply, her high heel stomping directly on his instep, causing him to yell in pain and almost jump up.
Du Qingyan walked right past him, grabbed Gu Baiwei, and left.
Chu He clutched his injured left foot, watching the two leave, and waved goodbye with a smile: "Goodbye."
"Never again!"
Du Qingyan gritted her teeth, thinking that this person must have something wrong with their brain.
She quickly forgot about the little farce.
The two lost interest in strolling around and wandered for a little while longer before heading home early.
The next morning, as soon as Du Qingyan arrived at the film set, she found that everyone she met was looking at her with a very strange expression.
She touched her face: "I don't think I forgot to wash my face, did I?"
Seeing Gu Baiwei in the distance, she hurriedly chased after her: "Sister Weiwei, good morning."
The two walked hand in hand into the film set, and when they arrived, they were stunned by what they saw.
The ground was covered with roses and candles, densely packed together, and above them stretched a banner more than three meters long with the words: Du Qingyan, I love you.
Du Qingyan blinked, making sure she wasn't seeing things; it was indeed her name written there.
Director Chen was raging: "Damn it, who put this junk together? It's turned the whole set into chaos."
When she looked up and saw Du Qingyan, her face darkened even more: "Xiao Du, tell your boyfriend to confess his feelings outside. He's ruined my peaceful film set."
"No, Director Chen, I really don't know which idiot made this thing..."
Du Qingyan hurriedly explained.
At the same time, the fool Chu He suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, turned another page of "The Thirty-Six Stratagems of Love" in his hand, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Second stratagem, hero saves beauty, what a brilliant plan!"
