Su Tao's eyes were filled with sarcasm. Upon seeing the woman's clean and elegant face, she felt even more disdainful, assuming such an appearance was only possible with someone backing her.
Her gaze fell upon the woman's slender, fair neck. The white shirt was a low-cut style, revealing half of her collarbone. Su Tao also noticed the necklace the woman was wearing. With just one glance, Su Tao recognized it as a Bulgari design from half a year ago, which had been the most popular style and cost over ten thousand yuan.
At the time, Su Tao had desperately wanted to buy it, but she had hesitated because the price was equivalent to several months of her salary if she didn't eat or drink.
Shen Yue, a woman who was worthless except for her beauty, who took the bus to work but lived in a prime location apartment, and whose jewelry was never below five figures. There was no other explanation for it except for her seducing a sugar daddy.
She learned to seduce people at such a young age.
How filthy.
This was what she thought in her heart, yet her gaze couldn't pull away from the necklace.
As if sensing Su Tao's particularly intense stare, Shen Yue tilted her head slightly. Su Tao's eyes flickered, and she immediately lowered her head to attend to her own tasks.
Shen Yue simply blinked and calmly lowered her eyelashes.
The coffee shop provided meals but not accommodation. There was a small cafeteria with decent food. Shen Yue took her bowl, served herself, and sat alone in a corner to eat.
Compared to those who clustered together, Shen Yue appeared somewhat pitiful.
Shen Yue didn't mind. Those people subtly excluded her, and since Shen Yue wasn't very social, she didn't feel anything about it.
Furthermore, several of the male colleagues looked at her in a way that wasn't quite right. How to put it? Crudely, it was lustful, making her feel uncomfortable.
Shen Yue ate with great concentration, disliking conversation and not playing with her phone. She ate obediently with her head down, her cheeks puffed out, showing a hint of cuteness.
A tall shadow suddenly fell over her. Shen Yue looked up in surprise, and a dark, resolute face entered her view. The tall man sat opposite her, staring directly at her. Her cheeks flushed, which wasn't very noticeable on his dark face.
In this shop, only Luo Kai was willing to talk to her.
Perhaps because they were both ostracized, they inexplicably felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
This was what Shen Yue thought.
Shen Yue subconsciously offered a faint smile, like a lotus emerging from water, or a peach blossom bathed in rain, clean and clear.
Luo Kai stared almost blankly at the smile on the woman's face, the intense, boiling emotions in his eyes almost unconcealed.
After smiling, Shen Yue lowered her head to continue eating. Upon looking up again, she found the man still staring at her foolishly. She couldn't help but touch her face.
She asked, confused, "Luo Kai? Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Luo Kai froze for a moment before suddenly snapping back to reality. As if scalded, he immediately averted his gaze, his face turning bright red. This time, even his dark skin couldn't hide it.
He was almost at a loss for what to do.
"No, no, it's not, it's nothing."
The more nervous he became, the more he stammered, almost unable to form a coherent sentence. He seemed to realize his behavior was embarrassing, so he pressed his thin lips together, anxiously and nervously clenching the chopsticks in his hands, lowering his head to speak no more, like a young bride.
