C30 They're Flattering Each Other

Hsu Jin was really serious when he wanted to be serious. Zhan Pengfei watched from not far away. He felt like he had fallen into an ice hole. Hsu Jin's appearance made him panic.

Soong Jiao had been waiting for him. She was not afraid that Hsu Jin would directly open his mouth and ask Yov Yue when he heard her. "Sister Yov Yue, that is your friend. He is so handsome. What does he do?" Soong Jiao's eyes were full of excitement. Clearly, she was very interested in Hsu Jin.

"We are not friends. We do not know each other well. We are just ordinary friends." Yov Yue was an honest person. What she said was the truth. However, Soong Jiao did not think so.

Soong Jiao thought that Yov Yue was just putting on an act. She thought that Yov Yue wanted to monopolize Hsu Jin's resources.

Since Yov Yue was not willing to help her, she could think of a way to help herself.

"The dishes are all served. Let's eat quickly." Reporter Wang greeted the two of them. The atmosphere became a little strange. He did not want to see the two women fight each other's hair.

Reporter Wang hoped that Soong Jiao could quickly understand the chief editor's painstaking efforts. It would be better if she did not cause any trouble in the next month.

Food filled the mouths of a few people. Soong Jiao finally did not ask any more questions. Yov Yue was also happy and relaxed. Since it was already destined that this meal would cost a lot of money, Yov Yue chose to let her stomach and mouth enjoy it.

When calling the waiter to pay the bill, Yov Yue almost put on a heroic expression and went to take the wallet. But the waiter told her that someone had already helped her pay the bill.

"How is that possible?" Yov Yue asked in disbelief. She felt that the waiter had made a mistake.

"It was the waiter who sat there just now." The waiter pointed to the seat Hsu Jin had made.

Yov Yue turned around and saw that the seat was empty. She frowned. She did not like Hsu Jin's behavior. Yov Yue thought that she needed to find a time and opportunity to return the money to Hsu Jin.

Soong Jiao did not see Yov Yue's dissatisfaction. Instead, she was immersed in joy. In the beginning, Soong Jiao was only attracted by Hsu Jin's outstanding appearance. She did not expect him to be a golden tortoise's son-in-law. Such an expensive meal, he actually paid for it without even thinking about it. Soong Jiao felt that she could not let go of this outstanding man even more.

It was very rare that the first thing Yov Yue did when she returned to the office was not to work but to send WeChat instead. She took the initiative to "chat" with Hsu Jin.

"Did you help me settle the bill just now?" Yov Yue was almost certain of the answer to this question. But she had to confirm it again. It would be more awkward if she made a mistake.

"Yes, I paid the bill on the way." Hsu Jin had already expected this message. Ever since he left the hotpot restaurant, his hands and eyes never left his phone. He seemed to be waiting for his lover's message, guarding his phone.

Zhan Pengfei could not stand his silly look anymore. He simply left him in a random place. He did not care, but Hsu Jin could still keep staring at the phone, enjoying himself.

In the past hour. Hsu Jin also found Yov Yue's account on Weibo. He had secretly paid attention to her.

Before Yov Yue's message arrived, Hsu Jin looked through Yov Yue's Weibo one by one. She did not post many Weibo posts, and it rarely involved her life and emotions. Every Weibo post she posted was a few simple scenic photos. Only then did Hsu Jin know that Yov Yue had walked through so many places. Desert, lake, snow... She had left her footprints on more than half of the earth.

In that moment, Hsu Jin suddenly felt that it was a bit of a pity. If it wasn't for Shen Shengsheng and Zheng Ting's relationship, he and Yov Yue might have had a chance to become very good friends.

Hsu Jin's message was like a stone sinking into the sea. Yov Yue did not reply to him for a few minutes. He was a little impatient from waiting. Just as he was about to find a topic to continue their conversation, his phone finally rang.

He opened WeChat with some anticipation. Hsu Jin looked at the transfer message and smiled silently. She was really a stubborn woman.

Yov Yue was not used to using her phone to pay. She had just come into contact with this thing not long ago and she did not have enough money on WeChat. In the few minutes just now, she went to find her good friend Meng Lingling to borrow some money.

"Do you need to be so serious?" Hsu Jin helplessly replied that the number Yov Yue sent him was precisely the meal just now. It was very accurate.

"I am the one who invited my colleague to dinner. How can I let you spend money?" Yov Yue replied. She insisted that Hsu Jin accept the money.

"That shop was opened by my friend. I have a discount. It didn't cost much. You don't have to be polite with me." Hsu Jin replied. He did not accept the transfer. He had never taken money from a woman before. This was not in line with his principles. This would hurt his self-esteem.

"Your discount is your business. I still need to pay for this meal." Yov Yue insisted.

Even without seeing Yov Yue's face, Hsu Jin could still imagine how serious her expression was now. After thinking for a while, Hsu Jin clicked on the red packet and asked carefully, "What I did made you unhappy, didn't I?"

"No." Yov Yue lied.

Hsu Jin could tell how dishonest she was at first glance. Only then did he realize that he had made the wrong move. He originally wanted to show off his wealth and generosity in front of Yov Yue. He basically used this method to deal with all the women around him.

But Hsu Jin had forgotten that Yov Yue was completely different from those women who wanted his money. His actions would only make Yov Yue feel disgusted.

Fortunately, Hsu Jin reacted in time. If he continued to be a little arrogant, Yov Yue would choose to stay away from him.

"I just thought that we were friends and paid the bill for you. I didn't think too much about it. If my actions make you feel uncomfortable, I apologize." Hsu Jin sent several apologizing emojis to show his sincerity.

Hsu Jin did not expect himself to do such a cute thing. But he did not want to leave a bad impression in Yov Yue's heart.

There was something that went against his original goal, but Hsu Jin did not want to admit it. As he tried to please Yov Yue, he reminded himself that no matter what strange things he did, he only wanted Shen Shengsheng to be happy.

Self-deception was one of the best things humans did, but in the end, it was all his fault.

Yov Yue looked at Hsu Jin's cautious words and felt guilty instead. She wondered if she was too sensitive. Perhaps the other party just wanted to show some goodwill. She should not be so sensitive.
