In the business world, Xiao Yufan might indeed be a peerless overlord, but before the woman he loved, he was merely an ordinary man. Staying by Lin Jiayao’s side, he had almost forgotten the struggles and conflicts of the business arena…
Although Lin Jiayao wore sunglasses, she still attracted countless glances. Xiao Yufan could only sigh helplessly at this situation. This girl was simply a little enchantress, exuding an irresistible charm without even trying. No wonder passersby couldn’t help but steal a second glance.
“If this keeps up, a riot might actually break out. Let’s find a place nearby to grab a bite to eat…”
Xiao Yufan appeared extremely helpless. This girl was naturally a heartbreaker, her every move brimming with an indescribable allure. If she continued to flaunt herself like this, who knew what chaos might ensue? One thing was certain—tonight, many men would definitely be demanding extra attention from their wives…
“Alright then, since you insist!” Leaning her entire body against Xiao Yufan, Lin Jiayao wore an expression of languid charm. Her slim, supple figure stretched slightly, and Xiao Yufan immediately felt the softness pressed against his arm. Fortunately, they were in a public place; otherwise, he might have lost control already.
“Boss Xiao, are you getting excited again? Hehe…”
Sensing his reaction, Lin Jiayao tilted her head, gazing into his deep eyes, her tempting lips curling upward into a smile that could topple empires.
“I do want you, but not here, right? Wait until we get home—I’ll show you what happens to this little temptress!” Xiao Yufan was momentarily dazed, then looked at her crescent-moon eyes hidden behind the sunglasses, his lips twitching. Didn’t this girl realize the consequences of teasing him like this?
“Then come and get me! Don’t just talk tough!” She made a teasing gesture with her finger, laughing so enchantingly that onlookers swallowed hard, and screeching brakes echoed all around…
They walked into a small nearby restaurant and sat down. Since it wasn’t quite mealtime yet, the place was nearly empty. Just as they settled in, an older woman approached. Her face bore the marks of time, hinting at a life filled with hardship.
“What would you like to order?” Seeing the picture-perfect couple before her, the woman hesitated slightly, then resumed her normal expression. Such a beautiful pair—if only the girl hadn’t been wearing sunglasses, they might have seemed like celestial beings.
“Just something simple. Two bowls of noodles will do…” Xiao Yufan glanced lovingly at his companion before handing the order to the woman with a smile.
Returning a smile, the woman turned and walked away, though she couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d seen this girl somewhere before. There was something oddly familiar about her, but she certainly never expected it could actually be *her*…
“Aren’t you going to take off your sunglasses? It must be uncomfortable eating like this!”
Seeing that Lin Jiayao still hadn’t removed her glasses, Xiao Yufan felt a bit strange. After all, this girl had no qualms about being completely naked in front of him—why wear sunglasses now?
“Are you sure you want me to take them off?” Lin Jiayao countered without moving. If she really did remove them, there was no doubt that the entire place would soon be swarming with people. They wouldn’t be able to enjoy a peaceful meal together.
“Never mind then. I don’t want to become the target of everyone’s hatred. If people found out that the woman they idolize is having dinner with me, I’d probably be hacked to death with knives!”
Xiao Yufan shook his head helplessly. Although he didn’t want her to keep the sunglasses on, he still had to consider others’ reactions. If Lin Jiayao took them off, the place would be packed in an instant—that was the power this goddess-like woman possessed…
“Here’s your noodles…” A soft, clear voice came from behind them. As Xiao Yufan stood up, he accidentally bumped into the tray the waitress was carrying. Just as it was about to fall, he caught it steadily.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” The waitress was a woman in her early twenties. Though she wore little makeup, she was undeniably beautiful. Her face was filled with apology, clearly worried that Xiao Yufan would be angry…
“Do I look like a monster to you? You didn’t hurt me, so no need to apologize!”
Her timid demeanor combined with her delicate beauty left a pleasant impression on Xiao Yufan. However, Lin Jiayao, watching from the side, couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. This womanizer really couldn’t help flirting wherever he went—was he interested in this girl too?
“Not really, I guess…” Seeing that Xiao Yufan wasn’t upset, the girl let out a breath of relief. She had only come to help her mother out and didn’t want any trouble.
“There you go then! I’m a good guy!” Xiao Yufan chuckled, though even he couldn’t quite believe his own words. Perhaps to his loved ones, he was a decent person, but to his enemies, he was undoubtedly a devil incarnate.
“What’s your name…?” He asked, prompting Lin Jiayao to roll her eyes again. Xiao Yufan could only cough awkwardly—his little game was all too obvious.
“My name is Jiang Rou. This small restaurant is run by my mother, and I just came to help out when I had time…”
A faint glow lit up Jiang Rou’s delicate face, perhaps out of respect, or perhaps because she found Xiao Yufan somewhat appealing. Her response carried no hint of reluctance.
“Jiang Rou… A nice name. Like gentle snow on a dreamlike evening, dancing gracefully in silken robes!” Xiao Yufan said casually, his eyes unusually clear. He truly had no ulterior motives, though both Lin Jiayao and Jiang Rou seemed to interpret his words differently.
“Big flirt, keeping one eye on the bowl while eyeing the pot…”
Lin Jiayao muttered, her lips curling into a slightly petulant smile. He was shamelessly flirting with another woman right in front of her—she couldn’t stand it, but after all, this was just Xiao Yufan’s nature. Nothing she could do would change that.
“What bowl? What pot?” By the time he came back to his senses, Jiang Rou had already left. Seeing the look in Lin Jiayao’s eyes behind her sunglasses, Xiao Yufan felt a chill run down his spine. Even the most generous woman couldn’t ignore what had just happened.
“No wonder Yi Han said you’ve been getting worse lately. Now I see what she meant…”
Her serious expression lasted only a moment before fading away. Lin Jiayao was smart enough to know when to act and when to let things go. As soon as she finished speaking, both of them keenly sensed a commotion coming from behind them…
