"....."Qin Yu couldn't help but fix his gaze on Yan Mingyu's catastrophically beautiful face.
Even his heart tightened slightly.
He didn't know why this was happening.
Subconsciously, he just didn't want this beautiful lady boss to take a liking to another man.
"Kong Jingtai is a great man, but my heart remains undisturbed,"
Yan Mingyu said, a hint of confusion flickering through her eyes.
She truly hoped to fulfill her grandfather's wish and marry soon, yet despite Kong Jingtai being an exceptional man among men, why did she not feel even a flicker of excitement?
"Don't worry, baby, there are plenty more high-quality men in my circle. I'll introduce them to you one by one until you feel a spark!"
Liu Xiaoxiao consoled Yan Mingyu.
"Xiaoxiao, let's talk about this later,"
Yan Mingyu gently massaged her temples.
She felt an inexplicable weariness, managing the deceit and cunning in the business world with ease, yet completely at a loss in the realm of romance.
"Baby, then don't bother going back to the office this afternoon. I won't go to the hospital either. Let's go shopping, buy things, watch a movie, how about it?"
Liu Xiaoxiao knew Yan Mingyu was under a lot of stress, so she thought of ways to help her relax.
"Mhm, okay,"
Yan Mingyu nodded her head.
Afterwards, the three of them left the private room together. After Liu Xiaoxiao paid the bill, they arrived at the parking lot.
"Miss Yan, do you... need me to follow along?"
After all, Yan Mingyu was going out with her best friend to go shopping and watch a movie, and it would definitely be somewhat inconvenient to have an adult man tag along.
"Follow!"
Yan Mingyu nodded.
If Qin Yu wasn't there to protect her closely, she would feel very insecure.
"Hee hee, just consider it a perk for you! How prestigious it is to go shopping with two gorgeous women!"
Liu Xiaoxiao winked as she said.
"Uh... then I'll go drive the car!"
Qin Yu scratched his head.
He remembered a news story from the other day about a beautiful woman who went shopping with her Husky and ended up carrying the dog back home.
Look at that!
Even a dog could get worn out shopping with women!
Before long,
the three of them drove to the most bustling commercial street in East Sea.
After Qin Yu parked the car, he began to stroll behind the two beauties.
"Hey, what's going on over there? There's a crowd of people!"
Liu Xiaoxiao pointed at the group ahead forming a circle and said, "Come on, let's have a look at what's happening!"
"Mhm!" Find more adventures on empire
Yan Mingyu, who spent most of her time cooped up working in her office, rarely had the chance to enjoy a stroll on the streets.
Seeing there was something exciting to watch, she and her best friend walked over, hand in hand.
Street interviews!
Some people were even filming with their smartphones.
Nowadays, short video platforms were quite popular for these kinds of street interviews.
Some tested knowledge of ancient poetry, others quizzed on all sorts of trivia, and some involved playing pranks.
"What is the one thing you dislike the most about your boyfriend?"
The street interviewer, holding a microphone, asked a girl who seemed a bit naive. A boy was standing beside her, and they were holding hands, clearly a couple in love.
"Um... being stingy!"
The cute girl thought for a moment before answering.
"Oh, could you give an example of how stingy he is?"
The street interviewer probed further.
"Ah, why do you ask such private questions?"
The naïve girl shyly covered her face.
"Uh...."
"Hahaha...."
The onlookers paused for a second, then burst into laughter.
"Let's go!"
The naive girl's boyfriend, with a darkened face, pulled his silly girlfriend away quickly.
"Miss, could you accept an interview?"
The street interviewer then turned the microphone towards another couple.
"Sure!"
The girl nodded her head.
"What should your boyfriend pay attention to the first time he visits your home?"
The street interview host asked.
"Hmm... I hope that when someone calls 'Daddy,' he doesn't respond..."
The girl said calmly.
"Uh..."
"Hahaha..."
Everyone paused again, then laughed even louder.
"Well... let's interview someone else."
The street interview host felt a bit awkward, as all his questions were about positive energy, so how did they end up being so suggestive?
He then spotted a chubby little boy in the crowd and asked, "Kid, what's your dream for when you grow up?"
This question's got to be full of positive energy, right?
"A patient, electrician, teacher, delivery man!"
The little boy rattled off several seemingly unrelated professions in one breath.
Electrician, teacher, delivery man are understandable, common professions in life.
But what in the world was a 'patient'? Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Is that a profession too?
While the street interview host was utterly confused, a middle-aged man slapped the back of the little boy's head with a stern face: "You little rascal, did you mess with my computer?"
"Uh..."
The street interview host, with a face full of disbelief, could only say sheepishly, "Well, that's the end of today's street interviews, we'll see you next time!"
"Oh, that's it? I thought you were going to interview me!"
Liu Xiaoxiao looked like she hadn't had enough.
"Interview you? You want to get their channel banned!"
Yan Mingyu rolled her eyes.
She understood her friend's brazenness too well; Liu Xiaoxiao could take a bus meant for the nursery school and end up on the freeway.
"Hehe, am I really that awesome?"
Liu Xiaoxiao laughed smugly.
Afterward, the three continued shopping.
When they entered the lingerie store, Qin Yu hesitated, but seeing that the store was large and crowded, he worried that Yan Mingyu might be in danger, so he followed them in, steeling himself.
While picking out lingerie, Liu Xiaoxiao held it against herself and asked, "Baby, how about this one?"
"....."
Yan Mingyu was speechless and pretended not to hear.
"Come on, what do you think, Qin Yu? You're a man—do you think this set is pretty or not?"
Liu Xiaoxiao asked Qin Yu again.
"Cough cough... I don't know!"
Qin Yu shook his head, his face a bit flushed.
This girlfriend of the shop owner was too unrestrained; any man who married her would definitely live several years less.
In the end, the two beauties each bought two sets, spending close to ten thousand at the checkout.
Qin Yu was inwardly amazed; such high-caliber beauties were truly beyond the financial reach of an average man.
"Here, take these!"
Liu Xiaoxiao stuffed the bags into Qin Yu's hands and continued to the next shop with Yan Mingyu.
Qin Yu followed behind, looking dejected and soon covered in bags of all sizes.
He looked like a peddler of old.
Eventually, the two beauties, feeling a bit tired, entered a milk tea shop.
"I'm going to take a call."
Yan Mingyu held her milk tea in one hand and her cellphone in the other as she walked to the side.
"Qin Yu..."
Liu Xiaoxiao called out to Qin Yu, her rosy lips smeared with some white milk tea: "Give me a tissue!"
After she said it, she stuck out her tongue and licked it.
Qin Yu felt a bit thirsty and quickly handed some tissues to Liu Xiaoxiao.
Indeed, women only have two missions when they come to this world: to save men, and to torment them.
"Are you done drinking? Let's go watch a movie!"
Then, Yan Mingyu came over.
The trio stepped out and walked towards the movie theater.
Something's not right!
Qin Yu walked with two beauties for a few minutes, then suddenly, without any warning, he looked back.
Behind him were a series of unfamiliar faces, without any hint of oddity.
Wasn't someone following them?
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. Was he being overly sensitive?
