Chapter 321: Chapter 322 We Live Together

He Jinxia’s face broke into a bitter smile, and she looked around and said, "Indeed, there is something I should share with you, it’s just..."

She reached out and poked Dong Qiin, who had her pinned against the wall, "Shouldn’t you give me some personal space first?"

With a "bang," another hand reached out, blocking He Jinxia’s path on the other side as well.

Xiao Xiuxiu also performed a pinning maneuver, sandwiching her between herself and Dong Qiin, smiling as she said, "Let’s talk about your love life first."

She heavily emphasized those words.

Seeing that there was no escape, He Jinxia simply gave in generously.

Omitting various love-related details, He Jinxia’s response was merely a sentence, "I am dating Sheng Yan."

And that was all Xiao Xiuxiu and Dong Qiin needed to hear.

Xiao Xiuxiu and Dong Qiin looked at each other, lowered their arms, sporting a ’we knew it’ expression.

Dong Qiin’s lips twitched, as if she wanted to offer a word of caution, but ultimately gave up, patted her shoulder, and earnestly said, "You have to be strong. Staying by Sheng Yan’s side can be tough. Let me know if you ever feel wronged."

Xiao Xiuxiu nodded, "The worst case scenario is to just break up with him. Although I don’t know much about Sheng Yan, he doesn’t seem like the kind of man who would seek revenge if you dumped him."

"Right, love is love, and business is business, he understands that clearly," Dong Qiin said.

He Jinxia quickly said, "Wait a minute, shouldn’t you be wishing me well? Why are you already thinking about my potential breakup? What if we don’t split up, and even end up getting married?"

She blinked innocently, although the hand hidden in her pocket was clenched tightly, reflecting the unease in her heart.

Dong Qiin sighed, "It’s not that we don’t believe in your relationship, but as outsiders, we have to prepare for the worst scenario, and Sheng Yan, that person..."

She tilted her head, seemingly pondering how to put it, and after a while said:

"I’ve known him since we were kids. You might see him looking impeccable in public, but behind the scenes, he’s quite scheming and venomous, always avenging his bruises, never letting himself suffer a loss. You are gentle and peaceful, completely the opposite of Sheng Yan; I’m afraid you’ll end up being hurt!"

Xiao Xiuxiu’s eyes sparkled as an idea struck her, murmuring, "Wait, isn’t this just like the classic love story in the dramas? Lovers should complement each other; it’s exactly these personality differences that might allow two people to come together..."

Embracing her role as a scriptwriter, Xiao Xiuxiu referenced numerous love stories from the past three decades, analyzing and deducing that Sheng Yan and Jinxia were a match made in heaven, perfectly suited for each other.

Initially, Dong Qiin was not optimistic about Jinxia and Sheng Yan, but under Xiao Xiuxiu’s persuasive reasoning, she gradually began to see them as a good pair.

By the end of the conversation, the topic had shifted to discussing who would be godmothers to Jinxia’s future children and the bridesmaids at the wedding, with the dialogue rapidly proceeding to such an extent that He Jinxia was left bewildered.

She looked up at the two enthusiastically chatting in front of her, swallowing back the words she wanted to say.

Well... she hadn’t even started anything substantial with Sheng Yan yet, and here they were discussing wedding details. Was that really okay?!

However, having her friends’ blessings for her love with Sheng Yan felt pretty good.

He Jinxia’s lips slightly curved up, listening warmly to their animated discussion.

It was only when Sheng Yan came over to hurry them that they reluctantly exited the bathroom.

When women get talking, it doesn’t matter the occasion – they can keep the conversation extremely lively, oblivious to time.

Sheng Yan walked over decisively, reached out and enveloped He Jinxia in his arms, bringing her close and succinctly said, "We’re leaving now."

Dong Qiin pretended to be confused this time and glanced at him, deliberately asking, "Are you guys heading the same way?"

Sheng Yan glanced at her, "We live together."

That statement was a knockout blow.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, no one expected Sheng Yan to move so fast!

It seemed they had only just started dating not long ago, and now they were already living together?!

He Jinxia was also stunned, momentarily unable to recover.

By the time she regained her senses, Ye Lunfei had already coughed a few times and turned to speak with Dong Qiin and Xiao Xiuxiu, "How are you getting back?"

Dong Qiin’s eyes sparkled as she said, "Why don’t you—"

"We’ll take a ride back," Xiao Xiuxiu interrupted Dong Qiin, smiling warmly.

Ye Lunfei paused, "It’s quite late, maybe I—"

Xiao Xiuxiu seemed to know what he was about to say, shook her head and preempted, "No need, we can get a taxi. It would be bad if we were photographed."

Ye Lunfei agreed, hence he said no more; Dong Qiin seemed to want to say something but was grabbed by the arm by Xiao Xiuxiu.

Looking up, Xiao Xiuxiu gave her a resolute shake of her head.

With everything arranged, the group headed towards the restaurant exit.

He Jinxia found an opportunity, her lips slightly parted to explain, but Sheng Yan gently scratched her waist, causing her to pause.

Looking up, he winked at her, his eyes dark as ink, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing a sly glint.

He gently shook his head.

Seeing him like this, He Jinxia thought Sheng Yan had reasons for letting others misunderstand, so she closed her mouth, choosing to wait for a better moment to ask him.

By the time Ye Lunfei reached the restaurant, it had been cleared out, not serving any more customers; essentially, they had the place to themselves for the evening, making it convenient to leave.

As Sheng Yan was about to push open the ornately carved wooden door, suddenly, both his and He Jinxia’s cell phones rang at the same time.

He Jinxia hesitated, then looked at Sheng Yan and answered her call; Sheng Yan thought for a while and answered his too.

The first thing both agents asked was, "You haven’t left yet, have you?"

Sheng Yan’s voice rang out calmly, "No."

Zhang Ming sighed with relief and rapidly said, "That’s good, I just got home. I just received news that you’ve been ambushed by paparazzi!"

Zhang Ming had left the restaurant before they did. In the restaurant, Sheng Yan was talking to Ye Lunfei while Jinxia and the others were chatting. Time flew by, and half an hour had passed to the point where Zhang Ming had reached home and they hadn’t left yet.

Upon understanding their situation, Zhang Ming remarked, "It seems like procrastination can sometimes be quite beneficial. It’s good you didn’t leave. I realized there was a car secretly following me right as I reached my house, and only after making some calls did I learn it was paparazzi."

"We didn’t disclose our whereabouts after leaving the company. I had a talk with the media first thing in the morning about not deliberately reporting your movements. The media knows your status and wouldn’t be so tactless. This sudden ambush at the restaurant was because of Ye Lunfei."

Zhang Ming’s voice carried a bit of a grind, no wonder he had felt uneasy ever since Ye Lunfei appeared in the private room; now it all made sense.
