Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Cousin

When Jiang Keke arrived at the school gate, she hung up the phone, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Seeing the familiar car by the roadside, her eyes lit up and she turned, "Yinyin, let’s hurry, A Cheng is waiting for us here."

An Yin’s steps paused slightly, not expecting Bao Cheng to be waiting at the school gate, so Jiang Keke had planned to go out with him from the start?

"Oh." An Yin didn’t want to spoil the mood and agreed timidly.

As they were about to reach the car, Jiang Keke suddenly stopped, leaned towards An Yin’s ear, "Yinyin, about A Cheng’s matter you..." Jiang Keke hesitated and didn’t continue.

"Don’t worry, I won’t mention it." An Yin said seriously. As a friend of the person involved, she chose to play dumb; with what standing could An Yin intervene in others’ affairs?

"Thank you!" The initially tense Jiang Keke noticeably breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing An Yin’s words.

Arriving at the car, Jiang Keke proactively opened the backseat door for An Yin.

An Yin bent down to sit, "Thank you."

"What’s between us, no need to be this polite." Jiang Keke pouted, and as she closed the door, she immediately rushed to the passenger seat.

An Yin, hearing this, gave a slight smile.

From the driver’s seat, Bao Cheng turned his head, gave An Yin a once-over, then beamed brightly, "An Yin, long time no see!"

"Mm." An Yin gave Bao Cheng a light glance, answering perfunctorily.

Bao Cheng turned back awkwardly and started the car.

Jiang Keke sat there nonchalantly, a faint trace of sadness passing through her sparkling eyes.

As the car drove towards downtown, An Yin slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Jiang Keke’s back, she asked, "Where are we going?"

"A Cheng mentioned this Chinese restaurant that’s pretty good, he’s taking us to try it." Jiang Keke’s voice was crisp, with a hint of anticipation in her words.

An Yin looked at the two in the front seat with a troubled expression, feeling a bit helpless inside.

Being from an ordinary family, her financial means were limited, and she really didn’t want to go to upscale places with them to spend, even though she knew Bao Cheng would insist on paying, An Yin didn’t want to owe Bao Cheng any favors at all.

Seeing An Yin staying silent, Jiang Keke turned her head and noticed An Yin looking troubled, she comforted her, "Don’t worry, A Cheng is treating!" Jiang Keke said it as if it was the most natural thing.

Hearing Jiang Keke’s words, An Yin felt even more anxious inwardly, but facing Jiang Keke, she dared not speak her mind, only stammered a response.

An Yin turned her head helplessly towards the car window.

The two in the front chatted back and forth, during the conversation, it wasn’t hard to see that Bao Cheng showed care and tenderness towards Jiang Keke in every aspect.

If she hadn’t seen Bao Cheng’s betrayal with her own eyes, An Yin would have found this scene in front of her quite beautiful!

But what puzzled An Yin was that Jiang Keke could actually pretend as if nothing had happened, flirting with Bao Cheng naturally, her smile never leaving her face.

An Yin couldn’t comprehend their feelings; it was really complicated!

When Bao Cheng’s car pulled up in front of a familiar building, An Yin was momentarily stunned, isn’t this...

The place where sister Jingrou had brought her to eat last time, and Jingrou had mentioned that this shop was opened by her big brother, recalling last time when her eye was injured, Jingrou directly addressed him as brother Bao Shaojin.

Which indicated that this Chinese restaurant in front of her was opened by Bao Shaojin?

"Yinyin, what are you dazing off for, get out!"

The attendant came forward and voluntarily opened the backseat door. Standing not far away, Jiang Keke looked at the daydreaming An Yin inside the car and raised her voice.

Having her thoughts interrupted, An Yin hurriedly got out of the car.

Just then, a valet took the keys from Bao Cheng, helping with parking.

The three of them followed the attendant into the restaurant.

Bao Cheng walked steadily ahead, while Jiang Keke noticed An Yin being absent-minded and feared she might inadvertently bump into someone, so she slowed down her pace, walking side by side with An Yin.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Keke asked softly.

An Yin looked up in panic at Jiang Keke beside her, "N-nothing." As she spoke, she tried to push a certain someone out of her mind, but to no avail.

Jiang Keke suspiciously scrutinized An Yin for a moment, privately concluding: An Yin must have never been to such a luxurious restaurant before, so she felt uncomfortable!

The attendant led them to a spot in the hall.

After the three sat down, Jiang Keke promptly handed the menu to An Yin, "You pick first!"

An Yin didn’t take it, softly muttering, "You guys order."

Seeing this, Jiang Keke didn’t hesitate, picked up the menu, and read off a few dish names, the attendant beside noting them down on a tablet.

When it was Bao Cheng’s turn to order, he didn’t even look, simply named three dishes.

Seeing this, Jiang Keke squinted and asked, "Do you come here often?"

A fleeting look of discomfort crossed Bao Cheng’s face, but he quickly covered it, then smiled, "My elder brother owns this place; I often come to support it, of course."

With one sentence, Jiang Keke’s doubts were dispelled.

"Your cousin?" Jiang Keke asked uncertainly.

"Mm." Bao Cheng snorted coldly.

Thinking of that aloof man, Jiang Keke only felt a chill down her spine, casually saying, "Your brother is impressive!"

Mentioning his cousin filled Bao Cheng with a suppressed anger.

Just because he impregnated someone else, was it worth his cousin beating him nearly to death? Every time Bao Cheng thought of this matter, he seethed with anger, though he helplessly couldn’t do anything against him.

Before the dishes arrived, Jiang Keke looked around, noticing the restaurant’s tranquil scenery, full of poetic charm, clearly showing the owner invested significant effort.

Just then, Jiang Keke saw an attendant leading a woman down the corridor, finding her slightly familiar, after three seconds of pondering, a light bulb went off in her mind.

"Bao Cheng, isn’t that your cousin?" Jiang Keke lowered her voice, looking at the woman not far away.

As soon as Jiang Keke uttered "cousin", An Yin and Bao Cheng simultaneously startled, glancing towards where Jiang Keke was looking.

Being no stranger to romantic escapades, Bao Cheng’s face initially stiffened but he quickly regained composure.

In contrast, An Yin looked directly at the woman, the shock in her eyes overly evident.

Perhaps their stares were too intense; as Zeng Yun brushed her hair off her forehead, she felt someone watching her, scanning around to spot that remarkably handsome man several meters away.

Zeng Yun paused her seating movement, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile, amusement dancing in her eyes, as she glided gracefully towards Bao Cheng’s direction.

Quickly, she was standing beside Bao Cheng, her gaze filled with a playful charm, "You don’t mind one more, do you?"

Clearly, this was directed at Bao Cheng.

Coldness flashed in Bao Cheng’s eyes, but with Jiang Keke watching him, he looked at Jiang Keke calmly, "What do you think?"
