Yin Shuyang decisively took out her phone and opened the QR code. “Actually, I really want to fall in love too. You’re all my brother’s good friends. Since he’s so outstanding, you must be very outstanding as well. Can I add your contact information?”
Adding the others’ contact information was just a pretense; what she truly wanted was to add Xie Guanlan’s.
She first had the others scan her code, and only at the end did she turn the QR code toward Xie Guanlan. “Brother Xie, can you add me?”
Xie Guanlan took out his phone, scanned the code, and her information popped up. Her profile picture was a photo of sunlight falling on her profile, and her nickname was: Yang Yang Ya!
Just as cute as she was.
Xie Guanlan added her.
Yin Shuyang was overjoyed. Tonight’s harvest was bountiful. Even if her brother didn’t bring her out in the future, she could still flirt with Xie Guanlan online.
Yin Shuyang quickly sent Xie Guanlan a cute sticker of a little rabbit waving hello, only to see that he had already put his phone back into his pants pocket.
Tycoons don’t like playing with their phones.
T^T
If the phone won’t work, she’ll have to rely on real-life action.
But with her brother here tonight, it wasn’t convenient to pretend to be drunk and cling to Xie Guanlan—her brother would just drag her away.
Sigh~
Brother, you’re the stumbling block on my path to love!
“Is this drink tasty?” Yin Shuyang asked Xie Guanlan softly and gently.
Xie Guanlan held a beautiful glass containing Macallan whiskey.
His hands were so long and so good-looking, with well-proportioned, slender fingers, neatly trimmed nails, and cool, pale skin on the back of his hands, where faintly visible blue veins and light greenish blood vessels crisscrossed.
Yin Shuyang instantly became a hand enthusiast.
“Want to try it?” Xie Guanlan’s voice was clear and resonant.
Yin Shuyang nodded slightly, her eyes full of anticipation. “Yes.”
She thought Xie Guanlan would hand her his own glass, but he didn’t.
Instead, he took an empty glass, poured a little into it, and turned to ask Yin Shujun, “Your sister wants to try it. Should I let her?”
Yin Shujun’s face darkened as he scolded sternly, “Yin Shuyang!!”
“Brother~”
Yin Shuyang hid behind Xie Guanlan’s back, her body pressing softly against him. “I was just thinking about it, I haven’t tried it yet. Don’t be so harsh on me~”
In front of the person she likes, please save her some face!
Please, she could repay him after they got home.
Xie Guanlan’s figure was really good—broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. She really wanted to sit on his long legs and swing like on a seesaw.
Xie Guanlan’s body stiffened. The girl’s soft body was pressed tightly against him. Tonight, there was no smell of smoke or other women’s perfume in the private room; all he could smell was the fresh, clear scent of fruit and pear on Yin Shuyang.
Even her hair strands had fallen onto his arm, draping down along his suit.
They were too close.
Xie Guanlan had never been this close to a girl before. Caught between the siblings, the icy-cold glass in his hand seemed to be burning.
He hadn’t meant anything else earlier; he just thought that since Yin Shuyang was a girl out with her brother, and the alcohol content of that drink wasn’t low, he should ask for her guardian’s opinion.
“Even thinking about it isn’t allowed. Don’t you know your own alcohol tolerance?” Yin Shujun couldn’t bear to look, his tone icy. “You’re a girl. Can’t you sit properly?”
Where was her reserve?
Where had it gone?
Was she already starting to cling to Xie Guanlan?
And Xie Guanlan, you’re not right either. Normally, if any woman tried to cling to him, she’d be pushed away in an instant.
Tonight, one hand held a wine glass while the other rested casually on the sofa, unmoving as if frozen in place.
Yin Shujun quickly realized that Xie Guanlan was merely being lenient toward Yin Shuyang out of consideration for him.
Yin Shuyang adored being close to Xie Guanlan, but she wanted to leave a good impression on him.
She wasn’t a frivolous girl; she only wanted to be close to him because she liked him.
At that moment, she could only obediently sit still as instructed by Brother.
“Come here,” Yin Shujun said coldly.
She silently rose and returned to Brother’s side.
Brother was so fierce, hindering her efforts to charm the handsome guy!
Later, they discussed topics like economics, stocks, new energy, funds, technology, real estate, tourism, retirement, and so on—a whole slew of things Yin Shuyang couldn’t understand at all.
She grew tired.
But she didn’t want to lean on Yin Shujun; she wanted to lean on Xie Guanlan.
“Let’s go.”
She was drowsy and half-asleep when Brother woke her.
She picked up her bag and stood, following behind them as Xie Guanlan and Brother walked ahead, chatting.
Going downstairs, exiting, and getting into the car—all seamlessly done.
“Yin Shuyang!!”
Sitting in the car, Yin Shuyang stared blankly at Brother’s fierce expression outside the car door, then slowly turned her head to meet Xie Guanlan’s calm, deep black eyes.
Her heart instantly raced—this man was truly so handsome.
She wanted to kiss him, to pounce on him.
Outside, Brother called her again, and Yin Shuyang hurriedly apologized, “Yes, sorry, I got into the wrong car…”
“Sorry…”
Yin Shuyang quickly got out. What had she been thinking just moments ago?
Indeed, even his figure from behind she found Xie Guanlan more handsome.
Xie Guanlan murmured softly, “It’s fine.”
Yin Shuyang fled too quickly, failing to notice the faint smile at the corner of Xie Guanlan’s eyes.
After getting into Brother’s car, Yin Shujun was furious. “Were you so eager to go home with him? Would he even want you? You just follow behind him.”
“I made a mistake,” Yin Shuyang lazily yawned, leaning closer to him and unabashedly resting her head on his arm. “Wake me when we get home.”
Yin Shujun gritted his teeth, but his body remained motionless.
She had been spoiled too much since childhood and never knew that there were things like hitting a wall in this world.
The delicate young lady needed to face some setbacks.
After returning home, Yin Shuyang took a shower, lay on her bed, and stared at Xie Guanlan’s profile picture.
His profile picture was so fresh—it was actually blue sky and white clouds.
[Yin Shuyang: I’m really sorry about getting into the wrong car tonight. I must have startled you. Can I invite you to dinner to express my apology?]
The opportunity to meet had arrived just like that!
Alone, just the two of them.
No third wheel!
[Xie Guanlan: I wasn’ startled. No need to apologize.]
[Yin Shuyang: Then dinner? Can we have it?]
[Xie Guanlan: I’ll invite you. What do you like to eat?]
I like eating your lips, your abs, your…
Ahhh!
Can that be said?
No, it can’t!
Yin Shuyang’s cheeks flushed red, her thoughts wild, but she typed back: Anything works, I’m not picky.
She was super easy to please.
[Xie Guanlan: Okay, I’ll arrange it.]
[Yin Shuyang: Good night, good night!]
She almost sent a “kiss kiss” along with it.
Fortunately, she held back.
Yin Shuyang had been home for three days, staring at her chat window with Xie Guanlan every day.
Scoundrel!
Wuwuwu…
He said he’d arrange it, but three days had passed.
Had he arranged it into outer space?
“What are you crying about, wailing all day long? Stop crying in front of me all the time, take some money and go out.” Yin’s mother had listened for three days and couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Mom~”
Yin Shuyang hugged her arm, “The man I like said he would invite me to dinner, but three days have passed and there’s still no news. Does that mean he’s just brushing me off and isn’t interested in me?”
