She quickly closed her eyes, feeling a sense of shame while maintaining a calm expression. Zhou and Shu exchanged glances, finding it hard to assess the situation. Zhou, somewhat disdainful, spoke up, "Why are you dressed so provocatively? Are you going on a blind date?"
Jiang Shiyu leisurely sipped her millet porridge with a spoon, her Adam's apple gently bobbing as she replied in a low voice, "I need to launch the center later."
Shu had noticed Yun Li's reaction earlier and questioned, "Does work really require such revealing attire?"
Jiang Shiyu glanced at her with mild indifference but maintained her good temper as she said, "Work should be formal."
Zhou chuckled and fed Shu a grape. As the New Year approached, who would send someone from the launch center on a business trip?
Yun Li set down her spoon and stood up, saying, "I’m done eating."
In Yun Li's room, Shu followed her inside. As soon as they entered, Shu addressed Yun Li, who was sitting on the sofa, "Jiang Shiyu dressed so flamboyantly today must have ulterior motives. Hao Hao, don’t fall for it."
Yun Li tilted her head, looking somewhat disillusioned. She knew that Jiang Shiyu had come here for more than just work.
Indeed, she was being flashy. Yun Li took out her phone to contact Fu Jing.
"Do you think Fu Jing is interested?" Shu asked as she sat beside her.
"Of course!" Shu immediately responded. "Look at his big build; he might be tired from work, but he's in his prime—he just needs some rest."
Yun Li questioned her, "Didn’t you say that men are done by thirty?"
Shu paused. It was true that she had read that online, but she hadn’t experienced anything with anyone else. Zhou was an exception.
"How many relationships has Fu Jing had?" she asked.
"I don’t know," Yun Li answered honestly.
"You don’t know? Aren’t you two close enough to talk about this?" Shu pressed.
Yun Li generously showed her phone screen. "Here, these are all our conversations."
Shu scrolled through the messages; their exchanges were very straightforward—discussing work and life but avoiding any hint of romance.
Shu took over her phone and asked, "What kind of people were your previous girlfriends?"
Yun Li snatched the phone back, "Why are you asking that? Talking about relationships is just too ambiguous!"
She quickly added, "But his first girlfriend passed away."
Shu was taken aback, "Oh? Then we should change the subject quickly."
Yun Li looked at her with a serious expression, "If we change the subject now, just pray he didn't see it, or you might really offend him."
In the next moment, Fu Jing replied, "One was a police officer, and the other was a journalist."
Yun Li and Shu exchanged glances. Yun Li let out an "Oh," but Shu quickly deleted it. What a great opportunity, and you just ended the conversation with that!
Shu took the phone again to type for her. Yun Li watched as she wrote, "So how did you break up with your ex?"
Fu Jing sent a crying-laughing emoji in response, "She thought I didn't know how to say sweet nothings."
"Sweet nothings can be learned," he added.
"Oh! I should find some time to learn," Fu Jing replied.
"For example, right now, you should say 'Can you teach me? I'll try my best!'"
Yun Li felt that this was inappropriate; no, she couldn't say that.
Shu held the phone away from her before sending it. Did she really want to be targeted by Jiang Shiyu, that Old Fox?
Yun Li still felt embarrassed; she thought things were moving too fast.
Fu Jing replied again, and Shu caught a glimpse of it. He got her!
Yun Li couldn't bear to look anymore and covered her eyes, saying, "Don't read it out loud to me."
When Shu saw the message, she pressed her lips together and handed the phone back to Yun Li without saying anything—just look for yourself.
Yun Li squinted one eye to sneak a peek before opening both eyes wide.
"You're not Yun Li; she doesn't talk like this," she exclaimed.
Yun Li burst into laughter.
Shu crossed her arms and let out a hum, clearly unimpressed. Ming Ming Zhou was quite taken by this attitude.
Shu muttered in dissatisfaction, "No sense of romance. No wonder they wanted to break up with him."
