Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

So, Zhou Yuwen made a call and found out that Tang Xinrou was actually at the company.

She complained, "Brother-in-law, I'm really dedicated to the company, you must give me a raise!"

"Of course I'll give you a raise. If all the employees were like you, I'd be the world's richest man in no time," Zhou Yuwen joked with Tang Xinrou, then looked at Jiang Xinyi.

Jiang Xinyi clearly wasn't in the mood for joking.

Tang Xinrou laughed, saying, "There's no certainty about getting a raise."

"Brother-in-law, you need to find me something certain."

"How about you take some time to treat me to a meal?"

Tang Xinrou was just saying it casually.

To her surprise, Zhou Yuwen said, "Sure, just so happens your sister and I are out and haven't had dinner yet. We'll come pick you up now."

"Ah? This might be a bit too disruptive for you guys, right?"

"What's disruptive about it? Besides, I should thank you anyway. You've been a great help since your sister hasn't been at the company," Zhou Yuwen said with a smile.

"Um."

Tang Xinrou realized she might have misspoken, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper, "Brother-in-law, is my sister beside you?"

Zhou Yuwen chuckled as he glanced at Jiang Xinyi.

Jiang Xinyi's expression was a bit off, and she took the phone and said, "Come downstairs, we're on our way."

"Oh, okay!"

Just like that, Jiang Xinyi's carefully planned couple time inexplicably gained a third person. Tang Xinrou, coming down from the company, was naturally innocent. The first thing she said when she got in the back seat was, "Sis, you even put on makeup? You look beautiful!"

"Hm." Jiang Xinyi responded from the passenger seat.

Tang Xinrou asked, "By coming over like this, am I interrupting your couple time?"

Zhou Yuwen said, "Of course not."

"Two people are boring; three are more fun, right, Xinyi?"

As Zhou Yuwen spoke, one hand on the steering wheel, he placed the other on Jiang Xinyi's leg.

Jiang Xinyi indeed felt uncomfortable at heart, remembering what Zheng Yanyan told her, she also wondered if Zhou Yuwen didn't actually like her.

Could it be just because of her mother's influence?

With such thoughts in mind, she was naturally a bit down during dinner, even when Zhou Yuwen took her to have her favorite street-side hotpot, she seemed absent-minded.

Tang Xinrou, being a perceptive girl, naturally left promptly after the meal seeing this.

Zhou Yuwen asked her why she ate so fast.

Tang Xinrou replied there was another event to attend.

"I won't disturb your couple time anymore, I'm off!"

Saying that, Tang Xinrou quickly fled.

It was past six when they left, but finished dinner by eight.

And there remained Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi.

Honestly speaking, being alone with Jiang Xinyi made Zhou Yuwen a bit uneasy. Although they had reconciled, Zhou Yuwen didn't want to get closer to Jiang Xinyi, always feeling that her family background was troublesome, even if she could turn a blind eye to his interactions with Zheng Yanyan and others.

But Zhou Yuwen knew he would have to choose between them.

So Zhou Yuwen deliberately kept a distance from Jiang Xinyi to ensure he could retreat anytime.

"Time flies, it's already eight." Back in the car, Zhou Yuwen checked the time and said with a smile.

"Hm." Jiang Xinyi was tired and had found dinner dull.

She didn't know why Zhou Yuwen seemed to avoid her on purpose.

Zhou Yuwen suggested taking a walk by the river?

Or going to a movie?

Jiang Xinyi said forget it.

"Take me home."

"Okay,"

Jiang Xinyi hadn't finished speaking when Zhou Yuwen agreed immediately.

It wasn't a big deal, but for some reason, at the moment Zhou Yuwen agreed, Jiang Xinyi felt a pang of sadness, almost on the verge of tears.

But she held back.

She sat in silence the whole time until Zhou Yuwen drove into her apartment complex.

Jiang Xinyi suddenly said, "Zhou Yuwen, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"How long after you were with Su Qing did you have a substantive relationship?" Jiang Xinyi asked.

"Uh, you caught me off guard with this question," Zhou Yuwen said awkwardly.

But clearly, Jiang Xinyi wasn't letting Zhou Yuwen brush off the question.

So Zhou Yuwen had no choice but to say, "Su Qing and I were together in high school. We were quite naive then, and actually nothing much happened."

Jiang Xinyi stared at Zhou Yuwen without saying a word.

Zhou Yuwen had to add, "It happened during the summer holiday after graduation."

"And what about Zheng Yanyan?"

"I forgot."

"Hmm?"

"I really can't remember..."

"Zheng Yanyan told me that you guys were together in less than a month?" Jiang Xinyi asked.

Zhou Yuwen chuckled, "How come you two are still in touch?"

Jiang Xinyi told Zhou Yuwen that today Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin went to the company gym.

Zhou Yuwen simply acknowledged with a sound.

He said, Yanyan has a great image, and I'm currently developing that Campus Fun app.

"You know, her external image is good and attracts fans."

Jiang Xinyi asked Zhou Yuwen if he was explaining why Zheng Yanyan would appear at the company.

Zhou Yuwen said if that's how she feels, then yes.

Then Jiang Xinyi inexplicably started crying, saying she didn't understand why her relationship with Zhou Yuwen ended up like this.

Zhou Yuwen was silent at first, then said it was his own fault.

Jiang Xinyi leaned on Zhou Yuwen's shoulder and cried, her tears soaking his shoulder.

After crying for a while, Jiang Xinyi wiped her tears and said, actually, none of this matters.

"Because I trust you, Yuwen. I know you're kind, and you want to give Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan an explanation. I understand you; I heard from Xinrou that you plan to send Su Qing abroad. I can understand all this."

"Yes."

"I just don't understand..."

As Jiang Xinyi said this, she couldn't help but shed two more tears. She asked Zhou Yuwen if he didn't like her.

Zhou Yuwen asked why she thought that.

Jiang Xinyi said, when you were with Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan, you guys...

"When you're with me, I feel like you're always pushing me." As she said this, Jiang Xinyi felt extremely wronged and asked if Zhou Yuwen disliked her for being older or if he was with her because of her mother.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen was quite helpless, saying, so this is what's been making you unhappy.

"How could I not like you, I'm just afraid."

Zhou Yuwen hugged Jiang Xinyi, their heads touching, kissing her over and over, this girl six years older than him, yet more sensitive than any other girl.

Zhou Yuwen said, okay, okay, baby, don't cry anymore.

"Is it not enough that I'm admitting I'm wrong?"

"Then tell me, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Xinyi said through her sobs.

Zhou Yuwen said, I'm afraid we won't be able to be together.

"I have to be responsible for you, Xinyi."

Zhou Yuwen spoke earnestly, saying: "Moreover, being boyfriend and girlfriend doesn't necessarily mean we have to do that thing. When you were with Mr. You, didn't you even avoid holding hands?"

"I thought you liked this Platonic style, I was respecting you."

Jiang Xinyi was almost choked by Zhou Yuwen's words, she cried and said, I'm a normal girl, how could I not like these things!

"So you do like it?" Zhou Yuwen retorted.

Jiang Xinyi blushed, finally realizing Zhou Yuwen was teasing her, and angrily slapped him.

Zhou Yuwen laughed heartily, hugged Jiang Xinyi and said, okay, okay, stop crying, baby.

Jiang Xinyi was still angry, pouting as she looked at Zhou Yuwen.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuwen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately kissed her, and Jiang Xinyi responded quickly. For a time, they were inseparable.

The BMW X7 had a lot of space; Jiang Xinyi was even more familiar with its features than Zhou Yuwen.

They only kissed for a while.

Jiang Xinyi reclined the passenger seat herself, letting Zhou Yuwen come over and hold her while kissing.

Moreover, as they kissed, Jiang Xinyi began to pull down her...

Zhou Yuwen froze at the sight of this.

"Shouldn't we? Xinyi, here?"

....

...

"Put, put it in..."
