Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother -
Chapter 59 Encounter
Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Encounter
After An Yin finished speaking on the phone, she hung up.
Shi Qing was engrossed in reading, not thinking much about An Yin’s phone call until she heard the name "Bao Cheng," which made her frown slightly.
Shi Qing had seen Bao Cheng before. When she worked at a bar, many people gathered around him, including some sycophants, and even the female staff at the bar looked at him with admiration, which indicated Bao Cheng’s extraordinary family background.
Shi Qing didn’t particularly pay attention to Bao Cheng himself, but at the bar, her colleagues were always gossiping about how generous he was, making the waitresses delivering drinks quite popular.
Having heard it often enough, the name Bao Cheng gradually became familiar to her.
Unexpectedly, Bao Cheng seemed quite familiar with An Yin and was even involved in things like a "girlfriend."
Shi Qing was never interested in other people’s gossip, and now she was just listening casually without taking it to heart.
***
Bao Cheng’s apartment.
In the bedroom, Bao Cheng leaned against the headboard, worriedly holding Jiang Keke’s phone and casting a sidelong glance at the person next to him, "I never expected An Yin to have the ability to command my cousin!"
As he spoke, Bao Cheng’s previously laid-back demeanor changed, and his eyes became gradually more serious.
Jiang Keke, nestled in his arms, felt weak all over. Hearing his words, she discontentedly defended her friend, "Don’t overthink it, I believe what An Yin says. She must not be familiar with your cousin." During the years of knowing An Yin, Jiang Keke was well aware of her friend’s character, so if An Yin said she wasn’t close with his cousin, it must be true.
However, Jiang Keke didn’t expect that there was a connection between her and Bao Cheng’s cousin.
After Jiang Keke finished speaking, Bao Cheng fell into deep thought.
What An Yin said at the end just reminded him.
His cousin knew from the beginning that "An Yin" was his girlfriend. Even if they accidentally met later, his cousin merely treated her as his "girlfriend," so it seemed like his cousin was helping his "girlfriend," but in fact, he was worried about him.
After all, he was his legitimate cousin!
Usually looking at his cousin as cold-hearted, who knew he actually cared so much about him? Even when he opened his "Laid-back" business last time, his cousin attended to show support, which clearly showed that his cousin valued him.
Thinking about this, Bao Cheng felt much relieved.
Who could blame Bao Shaojin for having such high status and skill in the Bao Family, making people have to respect and obey him from the heart!
And since childhood, Bao Cheng was suppressed by this cousin, who he was naive enough to dislike when he was young, but as he grew up, he realized the reality.
The Bao Family’s current standing was not just due to the wealth accumulated by their ancestors; it also owed a lot to Bao Shaojin’s efforts.
Bao Cheng knew he had no talent for business, but whatever he wanted to do, his cousin never intended to suppress him, rather turning a blind eye, and just for this attitude, even if he was not smart, he understood that this meant he was allowed to make mistakes!
The more he thought about it, the more his fondness for this cousin increased!
"I was overthinking!" Bao Cheng finally replied to Jiang Keke.
Jiang Keke wasn’t satisfied, saying, "Earlier, you made it sound as if An Yin was seducing your cousin, hmm..."
When Bao Cheng and An Yin called earlier, he had it on speakerphone, so Jiang Keke heard everything clear as day!
From what Jiang Keke knew of An Yin, she got upset!
"I was wrong." Bao Cheng tightened his embrace around her.
"I’ll speak a few good words for you in front of Yinyin tomorrow." Since her boyfriend upset An Yin, Jiang Keke couldn’t just sit by.
"Alright, arrange a dinner sometime to apologize to her for me." Bao Cheng instructed.
"I know." Jiang Keke nodded, then, thinking of something, looked up at her boyfriend, pleading, "Also, don’t clarify with your cousin about pretending to be a couple with Yinyin. I haven’t joined the crew yet. What if your cousin gets mad and removes me?"
Jiang Keke looked worried.
"But with An Yin, I’m afraid she..." Bao Cheng wasn’t in a rush to clarify An Yin wasn’t his "girlfriend," mainly because he didn’t have the courage!
Because the person he deceived was Bao Shaojin!
The head of the Bao Family!
Could he allow being deceived by others?
Just thinking about it made Bao Cheng feel a chill from the heart!
"Don’t worry, I’ll talk to An Yin properly!" Jiang Keke confidently assured Bao Cheng.
Bao Cheng was more than happy to see it!
He wanted to stall this matter! Plus, the longer he could delay it, the better!
After some time passes, maybe his cousin will forget about this! Bao Cheng thought carefully.
***
In the end, An Yin was convinced by Jiang Keke.
Jiang Keke promised earnestly that after she joined the crew, she would definitely make Bao Cheng confess everything to his cousin. An Yin didn’t doubt Jiang Keke’s words, and when Jiang Keke pleaded, her eyes brimming with anticipation for joining the crew, An Yin didn’t want to shatter Jiang Keke’s dream of becoming an actor, so she finally compromised.
An Yin was against pretending to be Bao Cheng’s "girlfriend"!
Yet, since things had come to this point, it would continue for a while longer!
Under Jiang Keke’s repeated invitations, An Yin agreed to have dinner with Jiang Keke and the others that evening.
Even though An Yin still held some grievances against Bao Cheng, she didn’t show it on the surface. After all, he was now Keke’s boyfriend, and she didn’t want to make things difficult for Keke!
The dinner was at six in the evening.
After class, Jiang Keke hailed a cab, and An Yin followed by her side, feeling quite conflicted!
Clearly, there was a rift between her and Bao Cheng, yet now she was having dinner with him. It felt a bit awkward! However, remembering her friend’s earnest pleas, An Yin couldn’t bear to refuse.
They arrived at a place in the city center.
It was a western restaurant, and from entering to sitting down, An Yin could clearly feel that this restaurant’s prices would not be cheap.
An Yin felt vaguely uneasy!
Jiang Keke and An Yin sat together, and it was evident from Jiang Keke’s natural actions that she had been here before.
"Didn’t Ah Cheng say he’s here? How come..." Just as Jiang Keke finished speaking, she saw Bao Cheng walking toward them, and not just that, but with another man.
This man was unfamiliar to Jiang Keke, but at first glance, he exuded an aura of royalty, with deep eyes and an air of grace, three parts pride, three parts aloofness, and four parts disregard, as if everything in his sight was lifeless. Even from a distance, Jiang Keke sensed a chilling aura, like ice forming in an instant.
For a moment, Jiang Keke forgot to react and greet them, not even noticing her boyfriend signaling her.
When they reached the table, Jiang Keke was so intimidated by the man’s imposing demeanor that she sat in her seat with trepidation.
It was Bao Cheng who, with a grimacing smile that barely resembled a smile, introduced to the person next to him, "Bro, I’m here on a date with Yinyin. This is Yinyin’s friend, Jiang Keke."
