Free Web NovelChapter 405: Chapter 230: Three Birds with One Stone! Dumbfounded
It seemed...
...
Chen Jincheng didn’t know about any of this. After Wei Weiwei saw him out, he got into the Lamborghini with Xiaoju.
But Xiaoju was completely stunned.
In her mind, internet celebrities just filmed videos, did some live streams, and at most, took on a few ad deals to make a little money. But just now, she had followed Cheng and watched him command the room, laughing and chatting with a leader from the publicity association, and even sealing a one-hundred-million-yuan project in the blink of an eye.
’Is this really something an internet celebrity can do?’
In that moment, she felt a special radiance emanating from him. It was so captivating, so charismatic. She wanted to hug him, to possess him, to be his...
’Faced with someone so brilliant, and I’ve been playing hard to get? I’ve let him be back in Coastal City all this time and haven’t even touched him.’
The moment that thought surfaced, her gaze filled with adoration, and her eyes grew misty.
It was an intense gaze, and Chen Jincheng noticed it immediately. He asked teasingly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you worship me? Adore me?"
Hearing his words, Xiaoju immediately looked away in embarrassment, pouting slightly. "Who’s worshipping you? Cheng, can you not be so narcissistic?"
Chen Jincheng said playfully, "Is that so? If you don’t even worship me, I won’t have any motivation to film a video."
’I just swore I wouldn’t play hard to get, so why am I doing it again?’ Xiaoju grew anxious at his words. She immediately switched to a sweet, delicate tone. "Cheng, a girl can be shy, you know. You just have to make me say I worship you. Fine, I worship you, happy now?"
"See how easy I am to please right now? Since I worship you, you filming one video is enough to satisfy me. In a few years, who knows, my demands might be higher. You’ll miss the me of today back then."
Hearing this, Chen Jincheng retorted teasingly, "By then, I’ll probably have a new girl by my side who’s satisfied with just one video, just like you are now."
"..." Xiaoju was checkmated by his single sentence, completely stunned.
What he said, it seemed... perhaps... was a fact.
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng couldn’t help but laugh. He started the car and drove away from the publicity association’s building.
"Cheng, where are we going now?"
"Didn’t I say I was taking you to buy clothes from the ’Widow’ collection?"
His words made the dazed girl’s face light up with joy.
Since he still had dinner with Leader Fu that evening, he took Xiaoju to a mall and first bought a few outfits in the "Widow/Yuki-onna" style.
What was the "Widow/Yuki-onna" style? It was fuzzy blue knit sweaters with black stockings, white blouses with black stockings, and black one-piece dresses with black stockings...
Xiaoju had never realized she had the "widow" constitution before, nor had she ever bought these kinds of clothes for herself. But trying on one outfit after another today really made her feel a little ashamed.
She had no idea why she gave off such a specific, indescribable aura when she wore these clothes. She was still a pure and beautiful young woman, after all.
’How could I...’
"So, you see your own charm now?"
In the clothing store, Chen Jincheng leaned in close behind Xiaoju. He watched her reflection in the mirror, admiring her in the black dress and stockings, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "I’d like to try this style out tonight."
Xiaoju’s face flushed with shame. "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"You really don’t know?" Chen Jincheng gave a half-smile.
"I really—" Xiaoju started to answer out of instinct, but then she remembered not to play hard to get and quickly changed her tune. "So which outfit do you want me to wear tonight!"
Hearing this, Chen Jincheng was very satisfied. He paid for the girl’s clothes, and they left to head to the dinner.
He had already gotten a message from Wei Weiwei. The restaurant the publicity association had booked was nearby.
When Chen Jincheng parked the car, he saw Wei Weiwei already waiting outside the restaurant. Her outfit surprised him—she was wearing a set of Hanfu, but crucially, it was men’s clothing. She was dressed like a young nobleman.
Wei Weiwei saw Chen Jincheng’s expression and understood what he was thinking. Her own expression was a bit odd as she explained, "Leader Fu had us do a test shoot for the project to see how it looks, so we rented some clothes. We made some arrangements this afternoon. We still have to go film after dinner."
"Mm," Chen Jincheng nodded. At that moment, he didn’t quite realize what was going on. It wasn’t until he followed Wei Weiwei upstairs into the private room and saw the scene inside that he felt his mind go numb.
