Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Pretend

An Yin tightened her grip on her chopsticks. Because she had her head lowered, she noticed that Jiang Keke’s hand resting on her lap was clenched into a fist. An Yin slowly raised her head and glanced at Jiang Keke’s face, but didn’t find anything unusual.

Jiang Keke’s eyes always held a smile, and she ate and picked up food naturally.

"The shrimp here is quite delicious, give it a try!" Jiang Keke seemed to perceive that An Yin was staring at her, so she picked up a shrimp and placed it in An Yin’s bowl with a cheerful smile.

"Mm." An Yin looked at her carefree friend, feeling uneasy inside.

Opposite them, Zeng Yun, watching the two eating heartily, turned her face slightly and sneered. The next moment, she stealthily stretched out her hand towards her side.

Bao Cheng was engulfed in anxiety until a soft, supple hand teasingly brushed against his thigh, instantly sparking a strong desire that rushed to his head, almost causing him to let out a soft hum.

His face turned dark; when he lowered his eyes, he discovered that the hand under the table was moving without restraint.

The reprimand that reached his throat was swallowed back, and he pretended nothing was happening as he turned his head, finding that Jiang Keke across from him was eating with her head down, which somewhat soothed his restless heart. Then, he turned his head, giving Zeng Yun a warning glance.

Zeng Yun pouted, her seductive eyes filled with grievance as she looked at the man. Such a bewitching woman would move anyone to pity her.

Zeng Yun’s actions were taken right in front of Bao Cheng’s girlfriend, which gave him an intense thrill. Although he feared Jiang Keke might notice, deep down, he craved this overwhelming excitement.

Zeng Yun was quite experienced in the world of romance, so how could she not discern Bao Cheng’s thoughts? Instead of withdrawing her hand, she hooked her pinky finger tightly around Bao Cheng’s and then tilted her head, giving him an intriguing smile.

Bao Cheng quickly glanced over and then hurriedly turned his head. At that moment, his primal urge had been ignited by Zeng Yun, making even his heart feel as if it was being scratched by a cat, both numb and itchy!

Bao Cheng’s hand was wrapped by Zeng Yun’s. With his strength, he could easily pull away, but he didn’t.

He even felt a bit lucky that their hands were hidden under the table, unseen by the two people across from them.

Jiang Keke discreetly ate her meal, lowering her head, and with the corner of her eye, she observed the interaction between the two in front. She swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, and no matter how upset she felt inside, she dared not show it.

Once certain filthy truths are exposed, she would definitely be the one most deeply hurt!

She stiffly grabbed a piece of vegetable from her bowl, not paying attention to what she picked. She placed it directly into her mouth, and only when a spicy sensation hit her did she realize it was a piece of ginger. Jiang Keke glimpsed at the others across from her and noticed their hands moving slightly. She dared not think about what those hands were doing beneath the table. Jiang Keke didn’t spit out the ginger piece in her mouth; she slowly chewed it until the intense spiciness overwhelmed her mouth, and then she swallowed it whole.

There were still many dishes left on the table, but neither Jiang Keke nor An Yin had any appetite left.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Zeng Yun’s eyes flashed with cunning, and she said with a coquettish smile to Bao Cheng beside her, "Cousin, my dad mentioned he needs to talk to you about something today. How about you come back with me now?"

Zeng Yun’s call of ’cousin’ was extremely insincere, given that from the very first meeting, she had always called him A Cheng.

Her way of addressing him was intentionally dismissive of the two young women. In Zeng Yun’s eyes, Jiang Keke hadn’t stepped into society yet; she was nothing more than an easily manipulated little rabbit. For Zeng Yun, there was no threat. The reason she was Bao Cheng’s girlfriend now likely stemmed from Bao Cheng acting on a fleeting whim. Once he got tired, he would definitely come back to her.

"Well..." Bao Cheng’s gaze fell on Jiang Keke, and it wasn’t until he saw An Yin also looking at him that he felt alarmed and immediately said, "We can discuss business matters later. I..."

"A Cheng, since she’s asked, you should go with her. Work is important," Jiang Keke sat up straight, looked at the man across from her, and said firmly.

"Since your girlfriend insists, A Cheng, let’s go." Zeng Yun’s smile deepened upon hearing Jiang Keke’s words. Realizing her form of address had changed, she looked at the two across from her and explained, "I’m so familiar with A Cheng that I’m not used to calling him cousin, hehe!"

This phrase, like someone denying the obvious, made Jiang Keke smile faintly.

An Yin, however, looked at Bao Cheng, noticing his cautious demeanor as if he had left all the decision-making power to Jiang Keke. But she also noticed the fleeting relief on Bao Cheng’s face when Jiang Keke spoke.

"Let me take you back to school first," Bao Cheng proposed.

Jiang Keke had recently moved back to live on campus. Initially, Bao Cheng disapproved, but couldn’t withstand Jiang Keke’s constant persuasion, and eventually, he relented.

"No need, I still want to go shopping with Yinyin later. You guys go ahead." Jiang Keke’s voice was sweet, with no sign of discomfort on her face.

"Alright then." Bao Cheng nodded.

He then looked at the attendant beside him, "Put it on my tab."

The attendant nodded.

Bao Cheng slowly got up, and possibly out of guilt, he walked over to Jiang Keke, reached out, and gently caressed her smooth hair, his words filled with affection, "Sweetheart, I’ll leave first then."

Jiang Keke beckoned to Bao Cheng with a curl of her finger. Curious, Bao Cheng bent down, and the next moment, Jiang Keke closed her eyes, giving him a quick peck on the cheek, "Go now!"

When Jiang Keke opened her eyes, she saw Zeng Yun’s expressionless face. Not only that, but Zeng Yun’s face also turned noticeably unpleasant. Jiang Keke turned her gaze away, feeling very satisfied.

An Yin watched the receding figures of Bao Cheng and Zeng Yun, growing increasingly anxious.

In An Yin’s mind, she always thought Jiang Keke hadn’t seen the message. After all, based on Jiang Keke’s past behavior, she would have already overturned the table and beaten someone up. How could she possibly remain indifferent, chatting and joking as if nothing happened?

Thinking of this, An Yin felt she should bring it up herself.

Taking a deep breath, An Yin slightly turned her body, looking at Jiang Keke beside her. Before she could speak, An Yin stared in shock at her friend.

"Keke, you..." An Yin panicked instantly, unable to say what she had planned to.

Jiang Keke’s hands were tightly clenched into fists, her eyes filled with resentment as she watched the direction Bao Cheng left. She bit her lower lip forcefully, and soon, a stream of blood seeped from her lips, dripping onto her dress.

An Yin quickly reached for a few tissues on the table and carefully wiped the blood from Jiang Keke’s lips.

"Keke, did you see the message I sent you?" An Yin asked nervously.
