Chapter 180
Everyone present was stunned.
Yun Youyou even wondered if something had gone wrong with her ears.
Wang Yuanyou finally recovered and shot out of his chair.
This plot seemed to be heading in the wrong direction!
Miss Wang ignored Wang Yuanyou, who had abruptly stood behind her. She had eyes only for Yun Youyou.
She slowly approached and tucked a loose strand of hair behind Yun Youyou’s ear.
“I think we’re perfect for each other. Even if you wanted to lock me up and do something to me, I wouldn’t refuse.”
Miss Wang gave Yun Youyou a suggestive wink.
Yun Youyou: “…”
She did not dare move. She truly did not dare move.
What kind of scandalous proposition was that? Was Miss Wang into imprisonment play?
“In that case, lock her up at the Company. We happen to be short-staffed.”
Ji Lin stepped forward, his voice cold, and used his sunglasses to indifferently block Miss Wang’s hand.
Naturally, when Miss Wang spoke of being locked up, a Company was not what she had in mind.
This awful man understood nothing about romance!
She glared at Ji Lin, then tried to hook her little finger around Yun Youyou’s.
“Look at these awful men. They don’t understand romance at all. Only a woman truly understands another woman, don’t you think?”
Every gaze converged on Yun Youyou.
The pressure from Ji Lin beside her was especially immense.
“Uh… well, women do understand women better, but…”
“Shh. Don’t say anything else.”
Miss Wang’s slender hand hovered lightly over Yun Youyou’s lips.
“I’ll show you exactly how sweet I am.”
Yun Youyou blinked her almond-shaped eyes. “But I have diabetes. I can’t eat anything sweet.”
Miss Wang brushed back her hair and laughed softly. “Don’t worry. I’m made with xylitol.”
Wang Yuanyou watched for a long moment and decided this sapphic situation was looking extremely promising.
Whose blind date was this supposed to be?
How had Yun Youyou become the one getting pursued in the blink of an eye?
He could not resist bouncing around beside them. “What are you two doing? I’m the main character of today’s blind date!”
Miss Wang continued staring at Yun Youyou and ignored him completely.
Unwilling to give up, Wang Yuanyou approached Ji Lin.
“What exactly is going on with you–”
Before he could finish, Ji Lin planted a hand on his face and ruthlessly shoved him away.
Wang Yuanyou: “…”
Understood. He was born to be a supporting character.
Yun Youyou calmed down and thought it through.
The outfit had to be the problem.
Miss Wang probably liked the cold, dazzling type, and today’s disguise had given her the wrong impression.
Once Yun Youyou understood, she dropped the act.
Pointing at herself, she confessed, “Everything you see today is fake. Usually, I’m a complete goofball, the kind of idiot who can laugh three times for no reason. You understand?”
Yun Youyou tried her hardest to express pure stupidity through her eyes, hoping Miss Wang would turn back before it was too late.
Miss Wang merely chuckled and tapped the tip of her nose.
“Adorable. I like you even more now.”
Ji Lin’s brows drew tight. “Keep your hands to yourself.”
Yun Youyou: “…”
Had she accidentally bound herself to some irresistible-heartthrob System?
Since when had this Sis become so charming?
Whatever. Let her fall in love. Plenty of people loved this Sis.
At that moment, a phone began vibrating madly.
“Sorry. I have a meeting I absolutely must attend.”
Miss Wang regretfully returned the phone to her purse. When her hand emerged again, it held a business card.
She slipped the card into Yun Youyou’s pocket and gave her a seductive smile.
“Cutie, if you ever want to try things with me, remember to call~”
Then, catching Yun Youyou off guard, she kissed her cheek.
Yun Youyou’s eyes went perfectly round.
Before leaving, Miss Wang suddenly patted Ji Lin on the shoulder.
“Little Linlin, your older cousin is leaving now.”
Ji Lin remained cold and expressionless.
Wang Yuanyou’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. “She knows you?”
Ji Lin’s expression darkened. “She’s my older cousin. She lived abroad for years and only recently came back.”
“Your cousin?”
Wang Yuanyou leaned dramatically backward. “She doesn’t look anything like you.”
“I just went on a blind date with your older cousin!”
The realization arrived several beats too late.
Ji Lin ignored him. He glanced back and found Yun Youyou still standing where Miss Wang had left her, absently touching the cheek that had been kissed.
Her expression almost looked as though she were savoring the memory.
Ji Lin’s face darkened even further.
Yun Youyou was still questioning her life.
Never had she imagined that a woman would force a kiss on her.
The feeling seemed…
Something cool suddenly pressed against her cheek, interrupting her thoughts.
She instinctively leaned away but failed to escape.
“Don’t move.”
Ji Lin held a wet wipe. Eyes lowered, he carefully cleaned the mark from Yun Youyou’s cheek.
Only then did she realize what had happened.
“Did she leave a lipstick mark on my face?”
Seeing was believing. Ji Lin showed her the wet wipe.
A smear of red stained the white fabric.
Yun Youyou examined it. “That’s a pretty color. I’ll ask her for the shade next time.”
Ji Lin: “…Is that all you have to say?”
Yun Youyou looked at him in confusion.
“What am I supposed to say?”
Ji Lin abruptly shifted his gaze aside. “Nothing.”
Yun Youyou thought he was acting strange, though she could not identify how.
Wang Yuanyou, ignored for so long, finally approached. His expression was unusually serious.
“Something went wrong at the Company. I need to go take a look.”
“I’ll go.”
Ji Lin volunteered before anyone else could react.
Wang Yuanyou froze. “It’s nothing major. Someone used the wrong contract, that’s all. I can handle it.”
“It’s fine. I’ll go.”
Ji Lin tossed the car keys to Wang Yuanyou and walked outside alone.
Yun Youyou and Wang Yuanyou watched his retreating back together.
“You two started a Company together?”
“Yeah. We started it for fun and accidentally made quite a lot of money.”
Yun Youyou was silent for a moment.
“Was that a humblebrag?”
Wang Yuanyou waved a hand. “I was only stating the facts. Who would’ve thought a Company we threw together would actually make money?”
“Evil rich people! From this moment on, I want nothing to do with either of you!”
Wang Yuanyou waved modestly.
“How can you call us rich? We’re obscenely rich!”
Yun Youyou: “…”
She hated rich people. She especially hated rich people who bragged. Most of all, she hated that she was not one of them!
Wang Yuanyou patted her shoulder consolingly. “It’s only a little money. Why make that face? If you’d started earning in the Ming dynasty, you could probably have that much too.”
Yun Youyou did not feel consoled in the slightest.
If someone had been working since the Ming dynasty, anyone would question that person’s mental health.
The mere thought of going to work was enough to drive a normal person insane.
“Let’s go. I’ve finished helping you. Now it’s your turn to help me.”
Yun Youyou grabbed a chicken wing from the table and headed out while eating it.
Wang Yuanyou followed and took one for himself.
“What are we doing?”
“Handing out flyers.”
“Huh? Did you find another part-time job?”
Yun Youyou searched for the nearest print shop on her phone and took Wang Yuanyou with her.
She sent a file she had prepared earlier to the shop’s computer.
