Chapter 49 - Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch

Undoubtedly, he was indirectly telling her about He Zimin’s whereabouts. Her dark eyes lit up while she lifted her head to kiss him.

Ji Jinchuan took another drag of his cigarette, causing his sexy Adam’s apple to move. “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

Shen Youran looked at him, confused while she waited for him to continue his sentence. He disposed of his cigarette and continued, “You need an invitation to enter.”

She looked at him with hopeful eyes. “You are invited too?”

Ji Jinchuan replied with a “Hmm,” and her pitch-black eyes looked even brighter, only for her to hear his next sentence: “But I have never brought a female date to any banquet parties before.”

The excitement and joy she felt a moment ago suddenly disappeared after hearing his words.

That’s right. Although Ji Jinchuan changed his lover every once in a while, he had never been involved in scandals with any woman before. This was because he always attended banquets alone and never brought a female date along.

“In that case, may I ask you for an invitation?”

Judging from his status, as long as he asked, Madam Xue would definitely give him another invitation.

He said without hesitation, “No.”

Shen Youran chuckled and tugged her hair behind her ear before using a towel to cover herself. “I am going to bathe.”

After she entered the bathroom, she placed the towel on the shelf and turned on the shower, allowing the warm water to slowly flow down her snowy white back.

She seemed to have heard someone knocking on the door and Ji Jinchuan opening it. However, they did not communicate with each other. After a while, she heard the door close again.

When she came out of the bathroom, she immediately saw the latest handbag that she saw on the magazine cover two days ago on the table. The handbag was rose-red in color, which looked very bright, making it very easy to match with other apparel.

Ji Jinchuan stood up and walked to the bathroom. Before he reached the bathroom door, he said, “In the future, if you like anything, you can directly tell Feng Yi.”

After the bathroom door closed, Shen Youran shrugged her shoulders and saw a name card placed beside the new bag.

She picked it up to take a look, only to realize that it was Feng Yi’s name card. She scoffed and placed the name card back onto the table.

As per usual, Ji Jinchuan left after he came out of the bathroom. He would never stay overnight in the hotel, and regardless of how late it was in the night, he would always take his leave.

After Ji Jinchuan left, Shen Youran walked out of the hotel with the exquisite luxury bag that he bought for her and walked toward the trash bin outside of the hotel.

She stopped in her tracks, and her lips curled up to form a self-mocking smile while she threw the bag into the dustbin.

Not too far away, in the black Maybach, Ji Jinchuan silently watched the whole scene while his deep and dark eyes darkened and looked more mysterious.

Xiao Cheng, who was sitting on the driver’s seat, and Feng Yi, who was sitting on the passenger seat, looked at each other while wearing a stiff expression on their face as they held their breaths.

Shen Youran hailed a cab by the roadside and bent down to enter it. With the closing of the car door, the cab slowly disappeared from their line of sight.

Ji Jinchuan remained very silent, and Xiao Cheng and Feng Yi could clearly sense the tense atmosphere within the car.

Feng Yi boldly mumbled, “President Ji, perhaps Ms. Shen doesn’t like the color of the bag.”

Although it was said this way, Feng Yi’s mind was filled with confusion as the rose-red bag looked very striking and suited Ms. Shen very much.

Besides, she always had a good eye when it came to choosing bags. In the past, whenever President Ji wanted to give presents to his lovers, she never failed to choose a present that his lovers liked, be it the brand or design.

Yet Ms. Shen was an exception. She threw away a bag that was worth a hundred thousand yuan just like that without even feeling sorry for it. However, what made it even worse was that it was actually seen by President Ji. Indeed, as the saying went, it never rained but it poured.

Ji Jinchuan remained silent for a moment before saying in a deep and cold voice, “Start the car.”

Upon hearing that, Xiao Cheng immediately started the car and drove the car away from the scene.
