Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother
Chapter 179: Awesome

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Awesome

"This jade must be very expensive!" Shen Jingrou said with certainty. In her eyes, An Yin had always dressed simply, not like other noble girls who were pampered. Instead, she gave an impression of thriftiness. Shen Jingrou truly did not expect the young girl’s family to be so wealthy, hiding it so deeply.

Just from a piece of jade, Shen Jingrou regarded An Yin in front of her as a rich young lady.

However, the next words from the young girl left Shen Jingrou momentarily speechless.

"I estimate it to be worth a few dozen yuan. My mom said wearing it can keep me safe." An Yin said lightly, her voice incredibly sincere, not joking at all.

Shen Jingrou silently stared at her, and upon seeing An Yin’s clear, pure eyes, she inexplicably believed the young girl was telling the truth.

But, Shen Jingrou was also convinced that the jade was not a counterfeit!

There was only one possibility—the young girl didn’t know its worth, completely unaware of the jade’s value... After all, in most people’s eyes, jade is just an ornament, commonly seen at roadside stalls and jewelry stores, and not expensive. Who would think a young girl is walking around with a priceless jade unless you’re an expert?

What puzzled Shen Jingrou was why An Yin’s mother would let her daughter wear this jade and say something like "it can keep you safe." An Yin’s mother’s words seemed quite incredible to Shen Jingrou.

"Miss Shen, all the dishes have been served, you may enjoy your meal," the waiter’s voice interrupted Shen Jingrou’s thoughts.

An Yin had long been drawn in by the spread of food on the table.

"Hmm, you may go down," Shen Jingrou said.

Shen Jingrou, afraid An Yin might feel uncomfortable with the waiter around, dismissed them.

"Sister Jingrou, did we order too much?" An Yin stretched out her hand, starting to count the dishes on the round table.

One, two, three... When she counted to ten, her voice grew weaker.

All her life, Ms. An warned her that wasting was shameful. Over the years, An Yin adhered to Ms. An’s words, never daring to be extravagant, and could even be considered frugal.

"Each plate only has a little bit of food, quite meager, ordering twenty plates wouldn’t be too much," Shen Jingrou defended loyally.

An Yin discreetly turned her head, observing the waiter’s expression beside them. Luckily, the waiter seemed not to have heard anything, and did not show any anger.

The portion of each dish was indeed a little small! An Yin muttered to herself.

But who knows how it tastes.

"It’s enough, it’s enough, I don’t have a big appetite," An Yin repeatedly said, afraid Shen Jingrou might really continue ordering.

"Here, try this crispy roast duck," Shen Jingrou picked up a piece with shared chopsticks and placed it in An Yin’s bowl.

"Thank you," An Yin, looking at the meat in her bowl, gave a grateful smile, picked it up, and put it in her mouth. The aroma of the meat mixed with the fat burst in her mouth. She had eaten crispy roast duck before; either it was too greasy or the meat was a bit tough, making it hard to chew.

The meat here was different: fresh, tender, aromatic...

An Yin had never tasted such delicious roast duck. After swallowing the meat in her mouth, stars sparkled in her eyes as she praised, "So delicious."

The young girl’s emotions were all written on her face. Hearing An Yin’s words, Shen Jingrou’s smile deepened, and with a sense of pride, she said, "The chef my elder brother hired is a nationally renowned figure, and this roast duck is one of their specialties."

Hearing Shen Jingrou mention her "elder brother" again, An Yin was momentarily stunned, "He’s really impressive!"

Without thinking, Shen Jingrou replied, "Indeed, my elder brother is impressive." It’s just that the most impressive aspect of him isn’t in cuisine; he’s a formidable figure in the business world, albeit with some ruthless tactics...

An Yin didn’t know what to say, so she bowed her head and silently ate.

Mentioning this elder brother seemed to give Shen Jingrou a person to confide in, continuing the previous topic, "My elder brother is in his thirties, and he still hasn’t had a girlfriend, not even female friends. His eyes are only for work."

An Yin placed another piece of roast duck in her mouth and mumbled, "What about male friends, does he have any?"

"Quite a few." Shen Jingrou pondered and then nodded.

Immediately, Shen Jingrou’s eyes burned as she met An Yin’s gaze, incredulously saying, "You, you can’t mean... he likes men..." Shen Jingrou’s eyes widened, shocked by her own speculation, unable to say that last word.

Thinking about how, over the years, the people around Bao Shaojin were a bunch of big men like Lin Yue, Qin Huai, Su Nan, Young Master Liu...

Bao Shaojin didn’t resist these friends.

"I didn’t say that," An Yin turned crimson from Shen Jingrou’s words.

She was merely curious if the man had any friends. After all, how lonely is a person without a social circle! Who would’ve thought Shen Jingrou would take it the wrong way; her imagination was truly extraordinary.

Shen Jingrou pretended not to hear An Yin’s words and couldn’t help but speculate, "Recently, I heard people mentioning that he seems quite attentive to a young girl. I believe this must be a smokescreen he purposely released to confuse everyone!"

These rumors were all told by Lin Yue, who also said that the young girl was Bao Cheng’s girlfriend. After hearing Lin Yue’s description, Shen Jingrou found it unbelievable. Bao Shaojin values rules and decorum. Since he was a child, he had a demeanor of an elder. How could he possibly pursue his cousin’s girlfriend?

To this day, Shen Jingrou thought Lin Yue’s gossip was a bit exaggerated!

The second elder brother of the Bao Family has been out of touch because of romantic affairs, and the ever-rational and clear-headed elder brother of the Bao Family wouldn’t be so foolish! Shen Jingrou thought secretly.

"Elder brother’s mind is so hard to fathom..." Shen Jingrou said to herself, concluding the topic.

An Yin couldn’t get a word in. She had never met the "elder brother" Shen Jingrou spoke of and really couldn’t say anything.

This meal, An Yin ate delightfully, with most of the food going into her mouth. Looking at the empty plates on the table, An Yin shyly lowered her head. She could only blame the food here for being too delicious!

Shen Jingrou shifted her gaze from the table and noticed the young girl looking bashful. She joked with a smile, "If you weren’t so young, I would introduce you to my elder brother. Once you become the lady boss here, you could enjoy these delicacies every day."

"Sister Jingrou." An Yin shyly called out, stopping Shen Jingrou from speaking further.

At that moment, Shen Jingrou never expected how thrilling it would be to one day see the young girl in Bao Shaojin’s arms.

"Alright, I won’t say anymore," Shen Jingrou stopped joking, stood up, walked to the coat rack, put on their coats, and headed out the door.

Shen Jingrou looked at the waiter in front of the private room door and said lightly, "Put it on my tab."

"Okay, Miss Shen, take care!" The waiter bowed respectfully.

An Yin followed behind Shen Jingrou, wanting to ask how much this meal cost. But seeing the waiter, the words stuck in her mouth remained unspoken.

Shen Jingrou did not notice the twists and turns in An Yin’s heart. In her eyes, treating someone to a meal was the most normal thing in the world.
