Hearing the boy’s unreasonable request, Liu Yun’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she anxiously asked.
“W-What kind of help?”
Lin Xiu gave a faint smile at her words and replied in a low voice.
“It’s very simple. In a bit, you’ll dress up as a woman and pretend to be my girlfriend to meet that woman surnamed Gu.”
Liu Yun froze at his words, then hurriedly shook her head in protest.
“No, I won’t do it…”
If she really did that, this cooperation would definitely fall through, and besides, it was totally unethical.
Not to mention—why should she have to pretend to be this guy’s girlfriend? She absolutely didn’t want to…
But clearly, Lin Xiu had no intention of letting it go. Seeing the woman’s resistance, he didn’t bother with more words and simply pressed his lips onto the mature beauty’s soft lips…
“Mm…”
In an instant, Liu Yun’s beautiful eyes widened, and she began to struggle and twist her delicate body.
But after turning into a woman, her strength was nothing compared to Lin Xiu’s.
After a bout of struggle, Liu Yun not only failed to break free from the boy’s clutches, but ended up panting softly, flustered and out of breath.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu pressed his advantage, continuing to kiss her relentlessly, all while asking,
“Sister Yun, is this good enough now?”
Liu Yun turned her head away at his words, still struggling weakly under the boy’s grip, refusing to give in.
“No.”
Lin Xiu just let out a light laugh and said leisurely,
“In that case, I’ll just have to keep going, until Sister Yun agrees. How about that?”
Liu Yun froze at those words—kiss her until she agreed? Was this guy kidding?
“Don’t, wait… mmph—”
Yet before she could finish, her pink lips were blocked by the boy once again…
A long time passed. The hotel room, bathed in the noonday sunlight, seemed so peaceful and warm.
At this moment, Lin Xiu lay on one side of the big bed, completely satisfied, still smacking his lips with relish.
As for Liu Yun, she was sitting at the edge of the bed, the corners of her eyes red as she looked into her phone’s mirror, looking as if she wanted to die from embarrassment and anger.
Seeing her own swollen, slightly broken pink lips in the phone, she was filled with lingering fear—if she hadn’t finally begged him to stop, the boy might really have kissed her endlessly…
“Bastard!”
Thinking of this, Liu Yun couldn’t help but curse softly, yet even that tiny sound was heard by Lin Xiu.
He rolled over and smiled faintly.
“Sister Yun, what did you say?”
Liu Yun’s delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly waved her hand.
“N-Nothing, I was just thinking… I’ve met Miss Gu so many times already, how could I pretend to be your girlfriend and meet her?”
Lin Xiu, however, didn’t care in the slightest.
“That’s easy. She’s never seen you dressed as a woman. Just wear a wig and a mask, and she definitely won’t recognize you.”
Hearing this, Liu Yun nodded almost unconsciously, but when she realized, her expression turned a little resentful. She clearly shouldn’t have to do this sort of thing…
In the afternoon, at the same café called Shiguang, the number of customers inside was gradually increasing, yet everyone maintained the store’s quiet atmosphere without needing to be told.
When Lin Xiu appeared in the shop holding the reluctant Liu Yun’s hand, they immediately drew a lot of attention.
The two were simply too eye-catching—a handsome and sunny young man paired with a mature beauty, they were already a scene unto themselves.
The woman wore a mask, her long wavy black hair cascading freely, covering most of her small face, and paired with a black camisole dress, made her fair, jade-like skin appear even more dazzling.
But the most captivating thing about her was those eyes—shy, charming, and bewitching, like a succubus, always stirring the hearts of onlookers.
Sensing all the gazes around them, Lin Xiu released Liu Yun’s hand, but the next moment, he simply slipped his arm around her slim waist to declare his ownership.
Liu Yun was mortified by the boy’s move, shooting him a silent glare, her ears blushing bright red.
Fortunately, they soon found Gu Jiajia. The woman’s expression turned slightly colder upon seeing them approach.
“Young Master Lin, what’s the meaning of this?”
Weren’t they supposed to be on a matchmaking date? Why did he bring another woman, and act so intimately with her?
Lin Xiu, however, apologized sincerely.
“Sorry, Miss Gu. This is my girlfriend. I brought her today because I wanted to be upfront. The marriage alliance between us won’t be possible—I truly love my girlfriend.”
Gu Jiajia narrowed her eyes at his words, then smiled lightly.
“Oh? If that’s the case, I really shouldn’t come between you two. But how can I be sure Young Master Lin hasn’t just randomly brought a companion to fool me?”
“After all, from the information I found, Young Master Lin isn’t supposed to have a girlfriend, is he?”
Lin Xiu just laughed softly.
“Then it seems Miss Gu’s information is a bit outdated. To tell the truth, my girlfriend and I got together after I returned to the country, so we haven’t been dating very long.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman next to him, who was zoning out over her coffee, and under the table, pinched her soft waist.
“Xiao Yun, isn’t that right?”
Startled by his sudden use of her name, Liu Yun reluctantly replied,
“Ah, yes, that’s right. Lin Xiu and I have only just started dating not long ago. Hello, Miss Gu, I’m Xiao Yun Yun.”
Gu Jiajia’s face gave nothing away at their words. She glanced at the mask on Liu Yun’s face and casually said,
“Miss Yun, right? On such a stuffy day, if you don’t mind, why not take off your mask?”
Liu Yun tensed at her words, giving Lin Xiu a quick glance before coughing softly and replying,
“B-better not. I set the air conditioner too low last night, so I’ve caught a bit of a cold. It’s better to keep the mask on.”
Gu Jiajia took a sip of her coffee, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
“What a coincidence. That’s really too bad.”
Hearing her seemingly let it go, Liu Yun quietly let out a sigh of relief. But the next moment, she heard the boy say,
“It’s not like it’s the flu. Taking off the mask to properly introduce yourself to Miss Gu isn’t a big deal, right, Xiao Yun?”
Liu Yun’s beautiful eyes shot him a resentful look.
She’d come here to help him—so why was he stabbing her in the back? This was too much!
Lin Xiu, though, only gave her a reassuring look. Seeing this, Liu Yun hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly.
“All right then…”
Gu Jiajia raised an elegant eyebrow and looked at Liu Yun, as if expecting to confirm something.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yun slowly raised her hand and removed her mask…
As her true face was revealed, a flash of surprise flickered in Gu Jiajia’s eyes, but she genuinely smiled.
“Miss Yun truly is breathtaking—no wonder Young Master Lin is so smitten. In that case, I’ll inform my father that the marriage alliance is off. Let’s leave it at that.”
It turned out that Liu Yun’s heavily made-up face looked nothing like her bare face, making it impossible for anyone to link the two as the same person.
Still, even with this makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful, radiating a seductive charm that was hard for men to resist…
This, of course, was Lin Xiu’s idea. Before coming here, he’d told Liu Yun to make two preparations, and had even specially hired a makeup artist to give her this alluring look…
