"Hello."

"Hello!"

Lin Shen was so strikingly handsome that when Tang Tian and Xu Manman greeted him, they were too shy to look him in the eye.

Only Cheng Xiao shook his hand confidently before suddenly turning to Zheng Yanfei with a curious question.

"Feifei, was that rich guy who tipped you in the stream last time your boyfriend?"

Cheng Xiao’s goal was to deliberately stir up trouble between Lin Shen and Zheng Yanfei.

But to her surprise, Lin Shen just smiled and nodded.

"That was me. You seemed to think I was some old man, right? You even sent a lot of your photos."

!?

Lin Shen’s words made Cheng Xiao’s heart leap into her throat, her expression one of utter disbelief.

’Wait!’

’It was really him!?’

’Lin Shen... Jianlu... So Lin Shen and "Jianlu" are really the same person!’

Having made such an embarrassing mistake, Cheng Xiao’s face instantly flushed crimson, and she stammered, unable to speak.

Seeing her so flustered, Zheng Yanfei was secretly overjoyed, but on the surface, she put on an icy expression and questioned her.

"Cheng Xiao, what do you mean by sending my boyfriend your pictures? Don’t you have a boyfriend? You keep acting so slutty, and I’ll tell Cheng all about it!"

"Don’t!"

The moment she heard Zheng Yanfei threaten to tell Cheng, Cheng Xiao’s tough facade crumbled. She grabbed her hand pitifully and admitted her mistake.

"I’m sorry, Feifei. I was wrong. For the sake of us being roommates, can you please not tell him? I’ll treat you to dinner later."

"Two meals!"

Zheng Yanfei held up two fingers, accepting Cheng Xiao’s offer.

In truth, she didn’t want to make their dorm relationship too tense either, or life would surely become difficult.

Things could even turn deadly!

Zheng Yanfei couldn’t afford to move out yet. The time to completely burn bridges with Cheng Xiao would come when she had the money.

"Let’s go."

Zheng Yanfei got into the passenger seat of the Jaguar XFL.

After watching Lin Shen drive away, Cheng Xiao, who had just been acting meek, couldn’t help but snort coldly.

"And here I thought he was so rich. What’s so great about a beat-up Jaguar that costs four or five hundred thousand? That’s not even enough to cover the purchase tax on Cheng’s Porsche!"

"Maybe he’s just being low-key. What if someone in his family is in politics?"

Tang Tian nudged Cheng Xiao with her elbow.

"Didn’t you see the Rolex on Lin Shen’s left wrist? That watch alone costs as much as his car. You think he can’t afford a Porsche?"

"Maybe he just likes Jaguars."

...

Cheng Xiao bit her lip, clearly knowing that Tang Tian had a point.

But she just couldn’t admit that Zheng Yanfei had found a boyfriend who was both handsome and rich.

’Why does she get all the good things?’

’Just because she’s pretty?’

’This is so unfair!’

Cheng Xiao’s heart was about to overflow with envy, jealousy, and hatred. She clenched her right fist, then turned and walked away.

「Inside the Jaguar XFL.」

"Thank you for helping me out of that jam~"

Zheng Yanfei thanked Lin Shen in a sweet, delicate voice. The end of her words trailed off melodically, as if she were putting on a cutesy act. She was like a completely different person from the one who had just been angrily rebuking Cheng Xiao.

Lin Shen couldn’t help but find it a little funny.

’She’s a little girl, all right. What a quick change.’

"Just saying ’thank you’ isn’t enough."

Lin Shen glanced at Zheng Yanfei, studying her face carefully.

With her exquisite, full-face makeup, she looked incredibly stunning.

However, Lin Shen could still spot a few details in her face that resembled Lin Ping.

Especially her eyes and brows; both women possessed a seductive charm that could steal a man’s soul.

It was just that Lin Ping, being married, was more reserved. Only recently had she begun to show the distinct allure of a young married woman.

But Zheng Yanfei’s was much more obvious, giving off the feeling of one of the great courtesans of old.

"Then how would you like me to thank you?"

A clever glint flashed through Zheng Yanfei’s beautiful eyes. She immediately shifted her legs toward the driver’s seat, her intention unmistakable.

This made the corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curl up slightly.

’She gets it!’

And so, Lin Shen quite naturally placed his hand on the little girl’s leg.
