Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother
Chapter 206: Been Here Before

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Been Here Before

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Jingrou waved a hand in front of An Yin’s face. At the same time, she noticed a small scab the size of a mung bean on the young girl’s lower lip, likely from biting it earlier, but Shen Jingrou didn’t ask further.

"No, nothing." An Yin snapped out of her thoughts, responding hesitantly.

She couldn’t possibly tell Sister Jingrou that she had been pondering Uncle Meng’s appearance!

Shen Jingrou noticed the girl’s evasive demeanor and didn’t pursue the topic further.

The two of them walked leisurely among the crowd.

The surrounding noise and vendors’ shouts rose and fell incessantly.

Shen Jingrou glanced at the bustling street and casually asked, "Have you been here before?"

"I have." An Yin nodded.

"Well, this place is a popular spot for young people like you to check in."

Shen Jingrou leisurely looked around, approaching anything she liked, while An Yin eagerly followed behind her.

Shen Jingrou stopped in front of a store selling bracelets. The glass counter was filled with various accessories, and Shen Jingrou immediately noticed a vermillion bracelet.

"Boss, could you please take this one out for a look?" Shen Jingrou pointed to the piece she wanted.

The shopkeeper, seeing the two beauties, greeted them enthusiastically.

Soon, both of them wore vermillion bracelets on their wrists. After Shen Jingrou paid the bill, they continued strolling.

An Yin raised her hand, gazing at the vivid red bracelet on her wrist, and murmured, "Thank you, Sister Jingrou!"

"With that expression, people might think I bought you a gift worth millions!" Shen Jingrou turned her head, looking at the girl’s sincere expression, and exaggerated.

An Yin was amused by Shen Jingrou.

Shen Jingrou was momentarily dazed by the girl’s exquisite beauty.

An Yin’s beauty always gave off a pure yet alluring and delicate feeling, coupled with the classical beauty aura she possessed, a mere blink or gaze could captivate anyone’s heart.

Even as a fellow woman, Shen Jingrou was amazed by the girl’s beauty.

Actually, Shen Jingrou had invited An Yin out today to verify a suspicion. Earlier, she had seen her brother’s car in front of T University’s gate, a matter that lingered in her mind. Despite her unwillingness to believe her brother would be interested in his cousin’s girlfriend, curiosity led Shen Jingrou to discreetly consult Su Nan.

Upon learning that Bao Cheng’s girlfriend was named An Yin, Shen Jingrou was momentarily incredulous. She sent someone to verify at T University and eventually confirmed there was only one person named An Yin there. It took Shen Jingrou quite a while to process this.

Initially, she thought about confronting An Yin directly to ask if Bao Cheng was indeed her boyfriend. After some contemplation, Shen Jingrou calmed down.

She needed time to digest this news.

After holding it in for some time, she couldn’t resist any longer and called An Yin to invite her out, intending to inquire about it indirectly.

She was too eager to know if the person her brother liked was indeed An Yin! Although she already had a rough answer in her mind.

On the street corner, a street performer was drawing a crowd of spectators.

An Yin could only see heads applauding excitedly and did not notice Shen Jingrou’s introspective mood.

An Yin originally wanted to squeeze in for a view, but the crowd was too large. Just as she was about to leave, the spectators suddenly dispersed.

An Yin was momentarily stunned but was eager to check it out. "Sister Jingrou, let’s go take a look!"

"Sure!" Shen Jingrou was pleased to see the young girl making a request and agreed readily.

However, as soon as they approached the street performer, he extended a QR code towards them, smiling widely, and earnestly said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

The man repeatedly expressed his thanks.

An Yin, seeing the man come forward, nervously took a step back. At this moment, she heard someone behind her say, "If you’re watching the performance, it’s only fair to give a little money!"

The bystander’s words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Only then did An Yin realize that it was a request for money through scanning the code!

She quickly took out her phone to scan the code.

Beside her, Shen Jingrou shook her head, sighing at the young girl’s naivety, "I’ll handle it." Shen Jingrou acted swiftly.

Soon, the man’s phone received a payment notification.

An Yin was surprised, "Sister Jingrou, did you make a mistake? You gave a thousand."

Hearing the young girl, the man holding the QR code quickly retracted it warily, returning to his original position, diligently performing again.

Soon, more people gathered around.

Shen Jingrou leaned closer to An Yin’s ear, "It’s fine."

Seeing the other party’s composed demeanor, without a hint of panic, An Yin realized she had overreacted. At that moment, An Yin began to realize the cognitive gap between herself and Sister Jingrou.

For An Yin, a thousand yuan was a significant amount, yet Sister Jingrou didn’t hesitate to give it to a street performer.

The continuous applause interrupted An Yin’s thoughts.

"Let’s go, it looks like he’s going to collect money again." Shen Jingrou whispered.

An Yin nodded vigorously.

Sister Jingrou had just spent a thousand; An Yin didn’t want her to continue being the fool. An Yin eagerly stepped forward, tugging on Shen Jingrou’s arm, and the two made their way through the crowd.

Then, they exchanged a glance and smiled!

"Let’s go!" It had been a long time since Shen Jingrou felt so at ease.

The young girl was pure and honest, without any pretense, and interactions with her were free of ulterior motives; in all this time, Shen Jingrou had never encountered someone so genuine, thus she didn’t hide her fondness when faced with the young girl.

If the young girl was indeed involved with her brother... Shen Jingrou didn’t know what she would do?

Based on her understanding of the Bao Family matriarch, there was no way her brother’s wife could be a girl from an ordinary family!

Moreover, if An Yin truly was Bao Cheng’s girlfriend, the situation might become even more tense...

"Sister Jingrou, we’re almost at the end of the alley."

Most people lingered at the shops along the street and would turn back before reaching the alley’s end.

After hearing An Yin’s words, Shen Jingrou still didn’t voice her thoughts. Her gaze fell on a courtyard in the distance, and with a touch of mystery in her tone, she said, "Come, let me take you somewhere!"

After speaking, Shen Jingrou linked her arm with An Yin’s, heading towards the nearby courtyard.

An Yin blinked a few times, hesitantly asking, "What place?"

"I’ll keep it a secret for now. I’ll tell you once we’re inside." A hint of mischief appeared on Shen Jingrou’s face.

An Yin didn’t ask further, but an inexplicable sense of unease welled up inside her.

Until Shen Jingrou brought her to the courtyard she had seen earlier, with the plaque that read "An Residence".

Shen Jingrou released An Yin’s hand, stepped forward, and stood before the imposing door. She reached out and gently knocked.

"Knock, knock, knock....."
