Chen Cheng didn't think much of it. "Am I not a rational person?"
"..."
Sun Xin suddenly realized that she couldn't outmaneuver him in a battle of wits, nor could she win a verbal sparring match against him.
That wasn't right either; it wasn't quiet.
"..."
"Look at you, why are you so careless?"
"..."
Sun Xin was dying of shame and indignation, her face flushed red as she didn't dare to make a sound.
How could she blame me?
...
Early the next morning.
Chen Cheng was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when Sun Xin came running in with her phone.
She stared at Chen Cheng with wide eyes, her jaw practically dropping. "Your company is this big?"
"The fund that recently acquired Company Name belongs to you?"
"Ptooey~" Chen Cheng spat out some toothpaste foam. "Wait, you only just found out?"
Sun Xin nodded, dumbfounded. "I just asked He Jing."
"In the end, she just sent me a rolling-eyes emoji. Then she sent me a link to a news article."
"It's about Zhencheng Capital joining forces with Guokun Group to acquire Company Name Coffee."
Chen Cheng laughed and shook his head. "He Jing was right to roll her eyes at you."
"I want to roll my eyes at you too."
"You care far too little about your old classmate."
A blush crept onto Sun Xin's face, looking a bit embarrassed. "After graduation, I didn't really keep in touch with anyone from class."
"That class group chat you left is dead now; nobody talks in it anymore."
Chen Cheng rinsed his mouth and washed away the foam. "Yeah, it's not a big deal."
He wrapped his arm around her slender waist. "Let's go, time for breakfast."
Sun Xin was still a bit dazed. After a few steps, she turned to look at Handsome Chen again. "So, Zhencheng Capital really is yours?"
Chen Cheng nodded patiently. "Yes."
"So you're really rich now?"
Chen Cheng looked at her as if she were a fool. "Didn't I already answer this question yesterday?"
"I'm rich!"
Sun Xin blinked. "I'm just a bit dazed. In my memory, as of yesterday, you were still that somewhat dull..."
"In today's trendy terms, a somewhat dull 'small-town test-taker'."
Saying that, Sun Xin thought about it again. "Uh... you don't really count as a small-town test-taker either."
"Your family already had several milk tea shops back then."
Chen Cheng exhaled. "This just shows that my efforts as a 'small-town test-taker' have paid off."
"Let's not talk about that. Let's go eat."
After talking for a bit, Sun Xin's excitement calmed down somewhat, and she nodded.
"Okay, let's eat."
Chen Cheng picked up several shopping bags from the sofa. "I had the front desk send some clothes up for you. See if they fit."
"A French-style white shirt outfit—white top and pants, paired with a brown belt and a dark bag. It's quite suitable for commuting."
As he spoke, Scum Cheng looked Sun Xin over with a gentle expression. "On you, paired with some black sunglasses, it should... exude ease and elegance in every gesture, with a pure and charming aura."
Sun Xin took the clothes to check them out. His praise made her face flush. "You're making me blush with all these compliments."
"It's not that exaggerated."
The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up. Flattery was a basic skill for picking up girls.
"This set is a green sleeveless top with loose wide-leg trousers and sandals. Simple and fashionable..."
"And there's a white camisole dress with blue floral prints, paired with white sneakers. It's fresh and elegant, very 'sweet girl' style..."
Sun Xin raised an eyebrow. "You seem to know a lot about fashion."
Chen Cheng shrugged. "You know I have a good memory. I spend time online and 'at school' every day, so naturally, I've learned a lot."
Well, as everyone knows, women are a man's school.
One should attend 'school' as much as possible while still young.
And the 'schools' Scum Cheng had attended were enough to grant him a doctorate.
Seeing his smug look, Sun Xin smiled and held up all three outfits to compare.
In the end, she chose the combination of the green sleeveless top and black wide-leg trousers.
Just as she was about to change, she suddenly noticed there was underwear at the bottom of the shopping bag.
Sun Xin's eyes widened. "Do you even know my size? Buying underwear like this..."
Chen Cheng gave a wicked grin. "Didn't I measure it personally last night?"
"There shouldn't be any mistakes."
"..." A blush immediately flared up on Sun Xin's face. She clicked her tongue. "I don't know what you went through abroad to turn such a fine young man into a playboy."
"Turn around, I'm going to change."
"I've seen everything there is to see, so why be so shy?"
"Oh, just turn around!"
Chen Cheng followed her wishes and went to the walk-in closet to grab a white polo shirt.
After they checked in, Ming Zhen had come over to tidy up the room.
Things that belonged in the wardrobe were put in the wardrobe, and things for the watch cabinet were put in the watch cabinet.
Why do big shots bring so many people with them when they go out?
When someone needs to be waited on for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the number of people naturally grows.
A few minutes later, Chen Cheng came out of the walk-in closet.
Sun Xin had also finished changing and was standing in front of the full-length mirror applying lipstick.
She turned to look at Chen Cheng, and her eyes immediately lit up.
She walked over, straightened out his slightly bunched-up hem, stepped back, and took a careful look.
"You did that on purpose yesterday, didn't you? Going to the class reunion in short sleeves and shorts made you look a bit unreliable."
"Today's outfit actually looks the part," she said, swallowing hard. "You look a bit like a male temptress."
Who says women don't know how to flatter? It just depends on who they're talking to.
The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up. He stepped forward, wrapped his arm around her waist, and changed his tone. A dreamlike, ethereal voice rang out, "Bodhisattva, why don't you just give in to this demon?"
Sun Xin looked at his lethally attractive jawline, her fair face instantly flushing bright red. "Stop it!"
"I still have to go to work."
This bad man...
If she didn't stop him now, she could forget about going to work today.
Chen Cheng chuckled. "Alright, I'll stop teasing you."
"Since you're ready, let's go."
Sun Xin breathed a secret sigh of relief. With a smile on her face, she grabbed her bag, took Chen Cheng's arm, and left the room.
They went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.
"Are you going straight to the office later?"
Sun Xin took a sip of soy milk and nodded. "Yeah, I've changed, and it's about time. I'll go straight to the office."
Chen Cheng nodded. "Then I'll drive you."
The corners of Sun Xin's mouth curled up slightly. "Okay!"
After finishing breakfast, the two of them left the hotel.
Sun Xin immediately saw Zou Yu and Eleven waiting by the bentley.
Zou Yu was in a black suit skirt, looking intellectual and elegant.
Eleven wore a white T-shirt and casual trousers, looking simple and clean.
Suddenly becoming alert, she whispered, "Who are these two beauties?"
"Oh~" Chen Cheng's tone was flat, without a hint of guilt as he began the introductions.
"This is my Bodyguard, Eleven. You can just call her Eleven."
"This is Zou Yu, my secretary."
"This is Sun Xin, my college classmate."
With a glowing complexion, Zou Yu smiled and extended her hand to Sun Xin. "Hello, Miss Sun. I'm Zou Yu. Please take care of me in the future."
As for why she was glowing, it had to be said that after Scum Cheng lulled Sun Xin to sleep last night...
...he had tirelessly climbed into Zou Yu's courtyard and comforted her for half the night.
Only when dawn was approaching did he return to his own courtyard to hold Sun Xin and sleep for two hours.
Sun Xin reacted quickly, hurriedly shaking Zou Yu's hand with a bright smile. "Hello, hello~"
After the introductions, Chen Cheng ushered everyone into the car.
