Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 889 - 371: Oh no, I've been discovered!

Jiang Xinyi initially intended to leave in a huff, but as she walked further, she realized Zhou Yuwen didn't come after her?

What do you mean by this, Zhou Yuwen?

Jiang Xinyi's pace slowed down, and she grew more frustrated thinking, why didn't he express his male chauvinism earlier, but waited till now?

You've already kissed me. What do you mean now?

Do you not want to take responsibility?

Ha! You think it's so nice to get everything your way?

With such thoughts, Jiang Xinyi became upset and came back to give Zhou Yuwen a romantic wet kiss.

Zhou Yuwen hadn't even reacted when Jiang Xinyi started wiping her mouth, looking again at the shocked Zhou Yuwen.

Now are you satisfied?

"Zhou Yuwen, we're even!"

"Hmph, tomorrow, I'm quitting your company!"

Jiang Xinyi said with an air of authority.

"Jiang Xinyi, come back here," Zhou Yuwen sensed trouble upon hearing about quitting, having just planned to fire Lv Hui, and if Jiang Xinyi left now, it would be a big issue.

So, Zhou Yuwen yelled at Jiang Xinyi.

But there was no way Jiang Xinyi would listen to Zhou Yuwen; she'd go as she wished.

Zhou Yuwen then got out of the car and chased after her.

He grabbed Jiang Xinyi's hand and pinned her against the car.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Xinyi fearlessly asked, tilting her head up.

"Who gave you permission to kiss me?"

Zhou Yuwen asked.

"Ha, how funny, I kiss whoever I want, do I need your permission? I'm willing!" Jiang Xinyi wouldn't indulge Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen looked at Jiang Xinyi and couldn't help but laugh, then gently pinched Jiang Xinyi's chin and kissed her again.

"Mmm!"

Jiang Xinyi, a stubborn girl, was kissed by Zhou Yuwen against the car, yet she refused to admit defeat, struggling for a while. Her little hands, at first clenched into small fists, soon loosened, holding Zhou Yuwen's shoulders.

From the initial "Mmm!" to eventually, "Hmm..."

Tilting her head, she started kissing Zhou Yuwen.

Initially, Jiang Xinyi did think about resisting, but then realizing Zhou Yuwen's skill and also her own craving, everything suddenly became clear, wondering why she should resist?

Just kiss then.

Let's see who can out-kiss whom.

Hmm...

Jiang Xinyi dressed casually, wearing an orange shirt paired with a denim A-line skirt today; such skirts have a slit, and her long legs looked particularly stunning.

Zhou Yuwen held Jiang Xinyi while kissing her, and his hand slid down from her slim waist.

Jiang Xinyi naturally felt it but didn't object.

After all, it wasn't their first kiss.

They kissed for quite a while.

"Ahem!"

Until someone coughed from behind.

Though just one cough, it was particularly familiar, and Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi thought it couldn't be good upon hearing it.

Quickly separated.

However, it was already too late.

Standing behind them was Jiang Xinyi's mother, Liu Jing.

In the best of springtime, with perfect moonlight and gentle breeze.

Liu Jing, taking her nearly seventy-year-old mother out for a refreshing walk.

And this is the scene they stumbled upon.

Zhou Yuwen holding her daughter and kissing her.

Liu Jing naturally smiled, watching the young couple with interest.

Now, both Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi blushed.

Especially Jiang Xinyi, caught by her mom and grandma, she was too shy to lift her face, only sneaking glances at the expressions of her elders.

And Zhou Yuwen felt awkward too, thinking, it's over, all over!

The grandmother finally broke the awkward silence, nearly seventy years old, with a shrinking body and mostly lost teeth, but seeing Zhou Yuwen made her happy, continuously pointing at Zhou Yuwen saying, "Grandson-in-law!"

This made Zhou Yuwen even more embarrassed.

Liu Jing chuckled at this: "Mom, they're just dating. They're not married yet."

How did it turn into dating...

Zhou Yuwen silently thought.

But it clearly didn't help; the grandmother kept calling him grandson-in-law.

Liu Jing seemed quite happy too, saying, alright, alright, grandson-in-law.

Then she told Zhou Yuwen, "Yuwen, it seems Xinyi's grandma really likes you, come and sit at our place for a while."

"No need... Ah..." Zhou Yuwen refused at first, then Jiang Xinyi, hiding behind him, tugged at his shirt.

Facing difficulties from both sides, Zhou Yuwen scratched his head and said, "It's mainly because I didn't prepare anything today..."

Liu Jing said, "You're not an outsider, what's there to prepare, come on up and sit."

"..."

Seeing their hospitality hard to decline, Zhou Yuwen had to agree.

Zhou Yuwen felt downcast, he had been cautious all along, just hoping to not make his relationship with Jiang Xinyi public, but now it seemed inevitable.

Following behind Liu Jing and the grandmother, who seemed quite pleased with her granddaughter's choice of a husband, as Zhou Yuwen was tall and handsome, she came over to hold his hand.

With one hand holding Jiang Xinyi and the other holding Zhou Yuwen, she led them into the house.

Liu Jing, seeing her mother so happy, smiled as well, telling Zhou Yuwen that Xinyi's grandmother hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Zhou Yuwen merely smiled at this.

Then they arrived at Jiang Xinyi's small villa, with a truly elegant and luxurious interior, befitting the wealthy district of Jinling, a glimpse of Republican-style architecture from the outside, but the interior felt anything but outdated.

Liu Jing said nobody was home.

"Xinyi's dad is abroad for business, and we gave the others a holiday, Xinyi, go make Yuwen some tea."

Liu Jing instructed Jiang Xinyi to take care of something.

Jiang Xinyi responded, going to make the tea.

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Have a seat."

Zhou Yuwen obediently sat down, but he felt like sitting on pins and needles, uneasy.

Jiang Xinyi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Yuwen with an attitude that seemed less than respectful, practically tossing it to him.

Liu Jing looked on, displeased, and said, "This child, doesn't she have any manners?"

Jiang Xinyi thought, what kind of manners do I have? I was just forcibly kissed by him!

Too lazy to mention these things, she simply went back to her room.

Liu Jing was unsure of what was going on with the girl and told Zhou Yuwen not to take it to heart.

"That girl probably saw us catch you in the act and got upset." Liu Jing said, covering her mouth.

Zhou Yuwen thought, could you not mention that...

But on the surface, he could only smile along.

Liu Jing told Zhou Yuwen to drink tea, joining him, and then asked how long he and Jiang Xinyi had been together.

"Not long..."

Zhou Yuwen replied with a stiff face.

"Makes sense, given you've only been back in Jinling for a little over a month and are so busy. If it weren't just the beginning, you couldn't possibly be caught holding each other and kissing, haha!"

As Liu Jing spoke, she laughed at herself.

"..."

Then Liu Jing continued sharing a lot of her thoughts, saying, "Yuwen, although there's a certain age gap between you and Xinyi, Auntie is very open-minded and believes you'll surely take good care of Xinyi."

"Auntie supported you from the start."

"Don't let Auntie down, okay?"

"..."

Zhou Yuwen just drank tea; any more words were pointless now.

As Liu Jing talked more and more about this and that, Zhou Yuwen couldn't take it anymore and said, "Auntie, I have some other matters to discuss with Xinyi—can we talk another time?"

Before Liu Jing could respond, Zhou Yuwen stood up and made a quick exit.

Liu Jing had wanted to say more, but seeing it was indeed getting late now.

Besides that, Zhou Yuwen kept saying, "Auntie, I have work matters to discuss with Xinyi."

"Business, it's really business."

Saying this, he dashed upstairs.

Seeing Zhou Yuwen rushing hastily, Liu Jing couldn't help but say, "Hey, can you even find Xinyi's room!"

Zhou Yuwen kept saying, "I can find it, I can find it!"

Actually, Jiang Xinyi had been hiding on the second-floor corner, listening to Zhou Yuwen chatting with her mother. Now that Jiang Xinyi saw Zhou Yuwen coming upstairs, she was sure to dodge, so Zhou Yuwen caught her tail.

How could he not find it?

As Zhou Yuwen ascended, he happened to see Jiang Xinyi's heel entering the room.

Jiang Xinyi was still thinking of closing the door, but before she could, Zhou Yuwen held the door open.

"Hmph!" Jiang Xinyi snorted disdainfully at the sight of Zhou Yuwen.

She turned around and went into the room.

Closing the door, Zhou Yuwen said, "You ran pretty fast!"

"Serves you right,"

Jiang Xinyi, like a little girl, sat on her big bed, crossed her legs, and pouted at Zhou Yuwen, saying it served him right.

"When did I start dating you? How come I don't know?" Jiang Xinyi asked Zhou Yuwen, tilting her head.

Zhou Yuwen sighed, sitting next to Jiang Xinyi, and said, "Otherwise, if we're not dating, why were we kissing so passionately?"

"What's wrong with kissing? Who says kissing means dating? I just won't date you!"

Jiang Xinyi played along, speaking arrogantly with a mischievous grin.

Zhou Yuwen said, "Sis, stop messing around. I have serious business to discuss with you."

"Well, admit you were wrong then?" Jiang Xinyi asked.

Zhou Yuwen said, "How was I wrong?"

"You were enjoying chatting so much with Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing, aren't you at fault?" Jiang Xinyi immediately countered.

"No, they're just regular friends..."

"Then, You Changjin is also just a regular friend to me."

"That's not allowed." Zhou Yuwen flatly denied.

Jiang Xinyi said, "Why not?"

Zhou Yuwen said, "Can't I be jealous?"

"?" Jiang Xinyi was taken aback.

Zhou Yuwen knew this was the answer Jiang Xinyi wanted, so given the situation, he might as well give it.

Not pretending any longer, Zhou Yuwen directly hugged Jiang Xinyi by the waist and said, "Sister Xinyi, let's not fight, okay? I know you're just trying to make me jealous, but there's no need for that."

"You know how I feel, don't you?"

Zhou Yuwen rested his head by Jiang Xinyi's ear, speaking softly.

And Jiang Xinyi turned to listen, feeling perhaps inexperienced in such relationships, was easily appeased.

With just a few words, Jiang Xinyi hummed a couple more notes in response.

"Not angry anymore, okay? At worst, I won't talk to them in front of you anymore?" Zhou Yuwen said.

"Not even behind my back." Jiang Xinyi quickly added.

Zhou Yuwen nodded, definitely.

"Okay, Sister Xinyi, don't be upset,"

"Then why were you so fierce just now?" Jiang Xinyi asked, looking aggrieved.

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Wasn't that because Lv Hui made me mad?"

"Liu Shuo treats her so well, yet she doesn't appreciate it."

Jiang Xinyi nodded, "I never expected her to get involved with your roommate."

"I felt uncomfortable talking to her, but didn't think it would come to this."

Zhou Yuwen said, this woman doesn't appreciate what she has.

"Sister Xinyi, you know Liu Shuo is my best friend. Him getting into this mess made me react impulsively, and then you provoked me..."

"If you hadn't provoked me..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, we won't upset each other, alright?"

Zhou Yuwen hurriedly embraced Jiang Xinyi again.

At this point, Jiang Xinyi's anger subsided, and she hummed one more time at Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen hugged Jiang Xinyi, whispering in her ear, "You and Lv Hui both work in finance. Why not check out if she's done anything improper at the company tomorrow? You..."

His voice grew softer and softer.
