"Lie on the bed, you can't go up." Chen Ziming didn't fall for his act.
Jin Yan was a year younger than him. They grew up in the same large compound, and Jin Yan had always followed him around when they were kids. Later, Jin Yan's father went into business. Although they didn't live together, they attended the same schools from elementary to high school. The bond cultivated through this was truly rare.
It was precisely because of this age difference that he often played the role of an older brother among them.
For example, this afternoon, he had indeed given him a good lecture.
Jin Yan also feared his angry look, and with Ren Siyuan there to egg him on, the two of them had lectured him to the point where he couldn't lift his head. In the end, he had surprisingly taken the initiative to apologize to Liang Mu.
He thought it was over, but unexpectedly, the pretty sister was still angry, and this troublesome guy wouldn't be going to the gathering either. This truly left Jin Yan in a desperate situation.
"Officer Chen, would it be appropriate for me to go?"
Just as Jin Yan was in a dilemma, Liang Mu, standing behind him, suddenly spoke softly.
Both men were a little surprised and looked at her.
She wore a gentle smile, standing there, graceful and dignified.
"Yes, yes, let her go persuade Yue Yue. They're both girls, they can talk things through." Jin Yan quickly reacted and immediately pushed Liang Mu forward.
Chen Ziming gave him a cold glance, then looked at Liang Mu, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
"No need, I'll go up. You two wait in the living room for a bit."
With that, he turned and walked towards the stairs.
Su Yue was lying on the bed contemplating matters. Seeing Chen Ziming enter, she quickly sat up and asked, "Who is it?"
"Jin Yan and Liang Mu."
The two of them??
She was a little surprised. What were they here for? Shouldn't they be going for dinner by now?
Moreover, judging by Jin Yan's actions this afternoon, she felt their relationship would be quite strained. How could they show up together?
"They're here to ask us to dinner." Seeing her confusion, he walked around to the side of the bed, sat down, chuckled, and pinched her cheek.
They came specifically to ask them to go??
She furrowed her brows, a look of displeasure on her face.
She didn't have that much influence. They were definitely here for Chen Ziming, and adding her was just out of politeness.
Furthermore, Jin Yan's previous attitude towards Liang Mu, and now bringing her along as if nothing happened, made his duplicity even more detestable.
She didn't want to go even more.
"Still don't want to go?" He could tell what she was thinking.
"Mm... I don't want to," she replied softly.
"Then we won't go. I'll go and tell them." His voice was gentle, not causing her any trouble.
But when he reached the doorway, he turned back and said, "Wait for me, darling. I'll be right back."
Su Yue: ???
"Wait a minute, what do you mean?" She immediately got off the bed, went to the door to block him, and stared at him with wide eyes.
How did she get the feeling he wasn't planning to go either?
"My darling came with me, how could I leave you behind?" He smiled, put his arm around her slender waist, and replied.
She looked at him in disbelief, her mind racing at the same time.
The friends they were going to have dinner with this time seemed to include more than just Jin Yan and Ren Siyuan.
During lunch, they were chatting, and Jin Yan had even mentioned that everyone hadn't gathered in a long time, and it was only because Chen Ziming was here that they could all get together.
Therefore, he couldn't *not* go.
She wasn't someone who lacked manners. The reason she chose not to go was fundamentally because when they had first arrived, he had asked her if she was willing to meet his friends.
She then felt she had a choice.
But that didn't mean she wanted to drag him down and prevent him from going either...
If he didn't go because of her, then by the time people came, it wouldn't just be Jin Yan and Liang Mu. She would be incredibly embarrassed and ashamed.
She absolutely did not want to be labeled as a childish and dramatic girlfriend who didn't know any better.
"You don't need to worry about me, I'm really fine on my own." After these thoughts flashed through her mind at lightning speed, she spoke to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ziming just smiled somewhat indulgently and replied, "No, my conscience would be troubled."
What kind of ridiculous logic was that???
Su Yue stared at him for a few more seconds, then suddenly seemed to realize something...
She immediately put on a stern face and asked,
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you, Officer Chen."
After all, they had slept together for so long, and she had come to understand him a little.
He was deliberately doing this now, wanting her to accompany him to this gathering.
