To tell the truth, Xu Xinran was not a shy person at all; otherwise, she wouldn't have beco a police officer.
The reason she was blushing now was entirely because the person speaking to her was Su Chen.
Ever since the last class reunion, Su Chen's figure had appeared in Xu Xinran's mind multiple tis every day, unannounced, like a curse!
Moreover, her master Jiang Lixing had also teased her about it a few tis, which further embedded Su Chen's image in her heart.
She knew it wasn't right; after all, he was the man her cousin liked. But so things are just uncontrollable. The less she wanted to think about him, the more he invaded her thoughts.
It caused her considerable pain and even so guilt—sotis she dared not look her cousin in the eyes.
Although Xu Xinran had appeared calm upon first encountering Su Chen, only she knew that her heart was already churning with turmoil!
So, when she heard Su Chen say "You have a great figure," a phrase with a tinge of ambiguity, she couldn't help but blush, even feeling a bit hot.
Seeing her suddenly blush, Su Chen was quite puzzled. Was a casual comnt about her figure really cause for such blushing?
And she wasn't usually this humorless!
"Why are you blushing like that?" Su Chen cocked his head and asked.
"Maybe it's because I got too hot from running just now."
Xu Xinran's voice was clearly flustered, her eyes flickering.
Su Chen couldn't help but curl his lip. Who are you kidding? You weren't blushing when you walked in, okay?
"Alright, eat up, it's getting cold."
Seeing that Su Chen was still staring at her, Xu Xinran felt both embarrassed and slightly irritated.
Su Chen chuckled but said nothing.
After finishing their al, the two of them walked out together.
"Where are you heading?" Su Chen asked.
"What else could I be doing? Obviously going ho to shower and head to work." Stay tuned to empire
Xu Xinran gave him a white glance.
At the ntion of a shower, Su Chen imdiately thought of the promise they had made before. He sidestepped closer to Xu Xinran, nearly leaning his upper body on her shoulder.
Xu Xinran was startled and thought he had sothing in mind. Just as she was about to step aside, Su Chen's voice sounded in her ear.
"When do you plan to wear that purple set... for to see?"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, a sly smile on his lips.
If it weren't for Xu Xinran bringing up the shower, Su Chen might have almost forgotten about that incident.
Of course, he didn't really expect Xu Xinran to keep that promise.
He had ntioned it now rely to tease the beautiful policewoman.
However, to his surprise, after a mont of silence, Xu Xinran replied:
"Can it wait a bit? I'm not ready yet!"
Her voice was soft, quiet, shy, and nervous, but Su Chen still heard it clearly.
For a mont, Su Chen was also taken aback, feeling an unexpected surge of happiness!
"What did you just say?"
Su Chen was sowhat uncertain and quickly asked again.
"Didn't you already hear it?"
Xu Xinran spoke and ran off, leaving Su Chen alone in a daze. After a while, a smug smile spread across his face!
When he got ho, Su Chen specifically went to the bathroom, earnestly gazing at his reflection in the mirror, assessing whether he had beco even more handso.
Otherwise, why would Xu Xinran agree to such a thing?
But after a while, Su Chen still hadn't noticed any changes in himself and couldn't help but think to himself, "Could that girl have noticed my inner beauty?"
Just then, Auntie Wang also happened to get up, and as soon as Su Chen ca out, he imdiately asked:
"Auntie Wang, have I gotten handsor lately?"
Auntie Wang was startled by Su Chen's question at first but then pursed her lips and started to laugh:
"Son-in-law, you've always been handso. If Auntie Wang were twenty or thirty years younger, I would surely like you too!"
"Auntie Wang, you really know what to say!"
Su Chen was even more overjoyed upon hearing Auntie Wang's words.
"What do you an I know what to say? I'm just speaking the truth, you know."
"Auntie Wang, if I were twenty or thirty years older, I would surely like you too."
"Son-in-law, are you complinting or making fun of ?"
Auntie Wang retorted, not pleased, but just a second later, she couldn't help but start laughing as well.
The two of them were very familiar with each other, practically like half of a family, so Su Chen would often joke around with her.
He found that Auntie Wang was actually a very humorous person, completely different from the cold Lin Ruoxue.
Normally it was like this: one would make breakfast and the other would clean up; they'd chat and laugh—a very comfortable arrangent!
Today was no different; Su Chen walked into the kitchen, laughing. Even though he had already eaten, Auntie Wang and Lin Ruoxue hadn't yet!
As usual, around the ti breakfast was almost ready, Lin Ruoxue also got up.
It wasn't that Lin Ruoxue was waiting for breakfast to get out of bed, but rather Su Chen made breakfast according to the ti Lin Ruoxue usually woke up.
Now that the two of them had gotten much closer—no, rather much more intimate—Lin Ruoxue wasn't that guarded anymore and often ca downstairs in her pajamas.
Su Chen gazed at Lin Ruoxue, wearing her loose silk pajamas, with her face sporting a mane of fluffy hair and still showing signs of sleep, and thought that she had a different kind of lazy beauty at that mont!
He had to admit, his wife was always a sight for sore eyes, no matter when he looked at her!
Seeing Su Chen staring at her, Lin Ruoxue scoffed and said, "Dummy!"
"Even a dummy is shocked by the beauty of his wife!" Su Chen instantly replied.
Lin Ruoxue felt a slight joy in her heart upon hearing Su Chen's words and thought to herself, "How co this guy's getting sweeter by the day?"
Auntie Wang, seeing the two of them like this, felt sweetness in her heart as well, her face unable to conceal her smile.
Soon, they all sat down for breakfast together, a harmonious scene. Su Chen had already eaten, but he still joined them for a bowl of porridge.
"You should start working at the public relations departnt today."
Lin Ruoxue took a bite of her sandwich and said casually.
"Ah, maybe in a few days."
Truthfully, Su Chen had grown accustod to working in the security departnt. There, he was the boss; ng Shan and Liu Yuan pampered him so much, he really didn't want to leave.
If it hadn't been for not wanting to let Lin Chao succeed that day, he wouldn't have wanted to ddle.
"No way, without rules there's no square and circle. You're already the head of the public relations departnt now, what does it look like still hanging around the security departnt!"
As soon as the topic of work ca up, Lin Ruoxue imdiately switched gears, turning into her usual ice-cold face!
"Alright, alright, I'll go, isn't that enough?"
Seeing her like this, Su Chen quickly nodded and agreed.
He could ignore others, but what could Su Chen do about his wife's words?
If the old brothers from the Nether Temple knew that the Hall Master had beco henpecked, they'd probably laugh their heads off!
Perhaps each of them would be scrambling to hold onto Lin Ruoxue's coattails...
