Chapter 9, Why are you so cowardly?
The moment she turned around, the university student look she was going for was half-gone.
That was what made Su Yi special – when she put on makeup, she became stunning, but even without any makeup on she was still attractive. Quirk her lips and curve her eyes and she’d be the picture of a flirt.
“No,” Chu Ying stepped on the gas. “I just arrived.”
Liu Xi stood there staring at the back of the rover, only managing after a long while, “…Damn, it really is Su Yi!”
Tu Jinglan had to put in plenty of effort to disguise the hatred on her face. She tugged on the edges of her lips, exaggeratedly saying, “So you know Director Chu, that’s really impressive.”
“What’s so impressive about that?” Tu Jinglan’s attempt at flattery clearly hit the wrong spot, causing Liu Xi to scrunch up his brows as he gave her a glance.
Tu Jinglan shut up.
A few steps later, Liu Xi stopped. “Right, you know who was on his car just now?”
“Of course,” Tu Jinglan smiled forcefully. “Yi-jie.”
Liu Xi asked, “You know her?”
“Yeah,” Tu Jinglan said. “We’re pretty close.”
Liu Xi didn’t entirely buy that. “Then why didn’t you greet each other just now?”
“Wasn’t it that you guys were talking and it’s not good for us to interrupt?” Tu Jinglan made sure to sound cute.
Liu Xi rolled his eyes in his mind. What’s wrong with this person’s IQ?
Nevermind, when the lights are off they’re all the same, Liu Xi turned around and asked, “Then do you have her contact number?”
Tu Jinglan asked, “Huh?”
“Yes or no?” Liu Xi cut her off. “Didn’t you say that you’re close?”
Tu Jinglan was still struggling for an excuse, “Yi-jie doesn’t really like giving away her contact number…”
“What do you know,” Liu Xi said. “The car she just got onto was my best buddy’s car, if I asked for a contact she wouldn’t say anything.” He upturned his hand, making a taking gesture. “Give me.”
Tu Jinglan bit her teeth. “…Give me a second.”
She was fuming, and yet she still had to use Weixin to find her agent Lin-jie to ask for Su Yi’s contact number.

It was after they left the parking lot that Chu Ying asked, “Where are we going?”
“What do you want to eat?” Su Yi was holding her phone and scrolling through the restaurants on the app.
“Anything’s fine,” Chu Ying said. “The shoe’s by your feet.”
Su Yi lowered her head and glanced at it. The red heel contrasted with the black carpet, giving a sort of lingering charm.
“Anything you don’t eat?”
As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Ying’s arm, her heart pumping away.
Chu Ying’s arm muscles had beautiful lines, not the exaggerated kind, but the white sleeves barely contained his arms and he appeared infused with power.
Chu Ying looked at her askance. “No.”
Su Yi already had an idea before. Bending forward, she entered the address and the navigator immediately started searching for a route there.
She was close to him, the smell of her body wash covering Chu Ying’s soap smell.
The fragrance stole into his nose and Chu Ying couldn’t help wondering, do all women live this exquisitely?
Su Yi chose a shop that specialized in Mala soup.
It was the sort of shop where the shopkeepers only needed to drag the metal doors up to open up the business. A few big fans worked noisily on the walls, the paint peeling off. The only praise this place could get was that it looked quite clean.
Chu Ying was a little surprised, he’d originally thought that Su Yi was going to pick some kind of French restaurant, or at least somewhere where that was air-conditioned.
“I found this shop by chance, it may have a really small storefront but the soup served tastes amazing.” Su Yi walked in front, turning around to smile at him when she finished speaking. “You don’t mind, do you?”
“No.” When he used to go on assignments, instant noodles could be considered delicacies.
Su Yi had slung a small pouch over, as for how small it was – after putting in a single spectacles case, it was full, she had to hold her
