nAfter thinking it through, she folded the bill carelessly and chucked it into her bag. It looked like she was keeping some random receipt from the supermarket.

nThe staff in the shop interpreted her casual actions as the natural conduct of the wealthy.

nXuxu shifted her gaze to Yan Rusheng who seemed to wear a lingering shadow of a smile on his good-looking face. She declined casually, “I don’t feel like having Western cuisine for lunch.”

n“You knew that I went to a Western restaurant yesterday?” Yan Rusheng feigned a look of surprise.

nWhen he heard her response, it only reaffirmed the speculations in his heart, making Young Master Yan really pleased and satisfied.

nIndeed, time will change everything, including a person’s heart.

nXuxu coldly rolled her eyes at him. “The fact that you booked an entire restaurant to have dinner with the beautiful actress Weng Meimei has spread across the city. Perhaps even the whole country or even the whole universe is aware.”

nShe read the headlines this morning, including the details of the situation and the restaurant. The paparazzi had captured and described the dinner date in detail, so it was no longer a secret.

nWith the news report, she could face his questions while still looking unperturbed.

nYan Rusheng saw her clear and unfeeling eyes and a flash of disappointment streaked through his heart. The feeling was faint, but it pricked his heart and left him vexed.

nHe didn’t believe that he’d gotten the wrong idea; Zhou Shuang’s text had made it clear that Xuxu was angry over his dinner with Weng Meimei.

nNo doubt, being composed was one of her strengths.

nIf she was deliberately trying to hide it, she wouldn’t reveal a single thing that would give her jealousy away.

nYoung Master Yan consoled himself, and his mood lightened considerably. Without thinking much about all the eyes focusing on him, he held Xuxu’s hand and said, “Let’s go get some lunch.”

nThey left the shop, and Xuxu sneaked a peek at Yan Rusheng tightly holding her hand. Then she moved her eyes upwards to his body.

nHis casual outfit brought out his youthful and sunny disposition. From any angle, he looked extremely attractive.

nShe couldn’t help but tighten her grip around his hand.

nWhen she saw their fingers intertwined together, she felt that they looked like a couple in love and out on a date right now.

nEven though she knew it was a one-sided illusion on her part, nevertheless it lifted up her mood, and she walked beside him cheerfully.

n…

nYan Rusheng led Xuxu to a nearby restaurant—the signboard at the restaurant’s entrance showed that they specialized in spice food, which made Xuxu feel a little touched.

nThey entered the restaurant, and she heard him exchanging words with the waiter. She realized that he had already reserved a private room.

nSo he said those things at the ‘Private Customization’ shop on purpose?

nBut why? Why did he intentionally suggest that they dine at the restaurant he went to last night?

nWas it because I was too obvious with my jealousy last night and he realized it?

nXuxu began to get restless and uneasy at her suspicions. She timidly looked at Yan Rusheng, and from her position, she could only see half of his face.

nShe couldn’t read anything from his expression.

nThus, she tried to recall everything that happened last night after he got home. But she couldn’t seem to think of anything suspicious. And as she concentrated on her thoughts, her face began to heat up, and she slowly started to blush crimson.

nShe had no idea how she’d managed to muster enough courage to act like that yesterday.

n“It’s broad daylight—why are you letting your imagination run wild when you look at me?”

nYan Rusheng turned around and noticed the tiny woman next to him was staring at his lower body. She was blushing and obviously thinking of something improper.

nHer bashful expression stirred up his heart once again.
