When they returned to the floor below Purple Cloud Temple, Ye Jinyan turned her head and whispered to Zhang Jingdong, "…Let go of ."
However, her tone at this mont was neither angry nor commanding, but rather almost pleading.
Zhang Jingdong knew she was thin-skinned. After all, she's the boss here and didn't want her employees to see this scene, so he quietly brushed her slender hand and then let go.
Ye Jinyan gave Zhang Jingdong a brief sidelong glance and then went into the Purple Cloud Temple.
The two of them changed their clothes separately and then returned to the private room from before.
At this mont, through the window, admiring the West Lake at night presented a unique beauty.
Shortly after, Zhao Qing personally led people to serve another table of dishes.
This ti, in addition to Huaiyang cuisine, there was also Cantonese cuisine's crispy roast goose and white-cut chicken, as well as Shandong cuisine's sweet and sour carp and Four Joy atballs.
The four of them were perhaps tired from walking around West Lake all day, so they didn't speak much, quietly eating all the while.
Just as they were about to finish, Ye Jinyan's phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and glanced at it, hesitated slightly, then got up to the window to answer the call.
"Hello, Yu Ting."
"Sis, it's so late already; why haven't you co over yet?"
"You guys have fun first. I'll just show up when you're about to finish up…"
"Don't, sis, this dance is so much fun. Aren't you just avoiding it because you don't have a dance partner? I've arranged one for you, handso and young, talented too; you'll definitely be satisfied!"
"So you actually just wanted to use the guise of a party to set up on a date? Be honest; how much did you take from the other party this ti?"
"Sis, how could I? How could I possibly sell my dear sister's lifeti happiness for money? Mainly, the guy's really excellent!"
Ye Jinyan teased, "The guy is Xu Sicheng from the Xu Family, isn't he?"
"Sis, you're… you're a genius!"
"If you can interact with him, you think I wouldn't know it's him?"
"Sis, I… I was wrong, but he gave five million, just for you to show up and et him. Mainly, I've already spent the five million. You know my company's operations haven't been very good lately, sis, I'm begging you!"
"What does that have to do with ? You asked for the money yourself; you pay him back!"
"Sis, I swear this is the last ti. I won't use you as a cover to make money anymore, really! I swear!"
Ye Jinyan turned to glance at Zhang Jingdong, then said, "…Alright, I'll go over in a bit."
"Thank you, sis, thank you! I knew you would agree to help , and I really think Xu Sicheng is a good match for you…"
"If you keep talking like that, I won't go!"
"Okay, okay… Sis, I won't say any more, waiting for you!"
After Ye Yuting finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone.
Ye Jinyan shook her head while looking at her phone and then returned to the dining table.
She took another two bites of food, then suddenly turned to Zhang Jingdong and said, "Do you know how to dance?"
Zhang Jingdong put down his chopsticks, "Of course, back in high school, I was known as the Dance King of our school."
"Then can you help with sothing later?"
"What do you need?"
"Co with to a dance party."
"Dance party?" Zhang Jingdong blinked rapidly, "Then what would my role be? Surely not just your dance partner?"
Ye Jinyan knew he had already guessed, so she simply said, "Alright, what you said before was quite accurate. People really shouldn't say they'd never do sothing. Later, just pretend to be my boyfriend."
Zhang Jingdong was instantly delighted, but he said, "Your attitude doesn't seem very sincere, though?"
Ye Jinyan didn't expect that after finally gathering the courage to do sothing for him, he'd start acting up. But as the matter was pressing, she couldn't help but say, "How can I appear sincere?"
Zhang Jingdong held back his laughter, "After all, you're asking for a favor, not the other way around, so you have to plead with a little, right?"
"You…"
Ye Jinyan glared at him grudgingly, "…Alright."
"Boss Zhang, today it's urgent; just pretend to be my boyfriend. Consider it a favor, would you?"
Zhang Jingdong curled his lips, "That's better than before, but still a bit…"
"Zhang Jingdong, don't push it too far. If you don't want to, I'll just…"
Zhang Jingdong quickly waved his hand, "Okay, okay… Don't be upset, alright? I agree, happy now?"
Although Ye Jinyan was a bit annoyed, seeing he finally agreed, she quickly let it go.
Zhang Jingdong then leaned over to hold her hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm a pro at this… Oh no, tonight I'll play the role perfectly and absolutely make everyone envy that you have such a perfect boyfriend as ."
Ye Jinyan saw he wanted to take advantage again and hastily swatted his hand away, "Hey, we don't need that yet, you… You better not ss around!"
Zhang Jingdong replied confidently, "Mr. Ye, you don't understand. Playing a couple can be both simple and complex, mainly in getting the key details right."
"As long as the details are right, even if we slip up a bit, it won't arouse suspicion from others."
"But if we don't get so crucial details right, no matter how hard we try, others will see we're faking it at once."
"And these instinctive intimate actions are one of those key details; see how I instinctively reached for your hand, but you instinctively pulled away. Anyone would see we're pretending, so you must fully adapt to this now!"
