Bestie, Are You Messing with Me?!

Although there were few people in the private jet lounge at this time, there were still two groups of guests scattered in different areas.

With Annie Kate's arrival, all eyes were on her.

A beautiful white woman with this kind of looks and temperament is rare anywhere.

Especially with her assistant, bodyguards, and secretary following behind her, it's clear that she has an extraordinary identity.

Noticing the gazes of others, Annie remained quite composed.

She released her grip on Tang Song's hand, but instead of immediately backing away, she deliberately lingered for two more seconds.

Her delicate, straight nose brushed lightly against Tang Song's cheek, a playful smile on her face, "Mmm... you seem to have grown a bit taller. I wish I hadn't specifically changed into low heels. Song, I have to say again, you've changed a lot. Unlike Jin, I'm not as casual about appearances; I prefer you the way you are now."

As she spoke, Annie looked him up and down again.

With his broad shoulders, narrow waist, smooth muscle lines, the silhouette outlined by a tailored suit, his handsome features with a straight nose and thin lips, and his flowing black hair, Tang Song was now extremely outstanding in appearance.

Even though the aloofness and nobility in her eyes have faded, she still exudes a captivating charm.

It perfectly matches her aesthetic.

In fact, she had repeatedly suggested to him in a subtle way that he work out and get in shape, but Tang Song never took those words seriously and would not respond to her "boring" suggestions.

Tang Song didn't know how to explain the changes in her figure, so she just laughed and replied, "Sweet of you."

(You're so thoughtful.)

Before he got the system, he was 180 cm tall, and standing next to Annie Kate, who is 178 cm tall, must have been very stressful.

"This is the first time you've praised me like this, I'm so happy." Annie's smile grew even brighter, and she gently tapped his chest with her finger. "Let's go, handsome and charming gentleman, thank you for picking me up at the airport. Now we need to leave, the long flight must have exhausted me, I need to rest."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and took his arm, her full breasts pressing directly against his arm.

Their movements were casual and natural, as if they were enjoying this intimate moment.

Tang Song smiled and walked towards the door of the lounge.

The assistants bowed and nodded in greeting, then quickly followed behind the two.

Passing through the glass doors of the business jet terminal at Hongqiao Airport.

A Rolls Royce Phantom and two Mercedes-Benz vans were parked there quietly, their high-end paint reflecting the surrounding scenery.

The driver, who was waiting by the car, quickly opened the car door when he saw the group approaching.

Annie was the first to climb into the car, her movements swift yet elegant.

The sound of doors closing echoed one after Yi Yi.

The noise from the outside world was immediately shut out.

As soon as Tang Song sat down in the back row, Annie leaned over and gently placed her right arm on his shoulder.

"So... tell me about your life in Yancheng. I heard you've been quite busy lately, dating several pretty girls, like that Wen Ruan with the amazing figure, right? To be honest, I'm very interested in her."

Tang Song's eye twitched, and he reminded her, "Annie, she's my girlfriend."

When recruiting [Advisor- Annie] in the game, her profile clearly states an important piece of information: she is not interested in men, but rather prefers women with extraordinary charm.

For example, Secretary Jin.

This is also the main reason why she, as one of the heirs of the Kate Family, was able to become close friends with Secretary Jin.

Of course, Secretary Jin's sexual orientation is perfectly fine, and their relationship is completely innocent.

However, after he recruited Annie, Annie's problems gradually and subtly changed, and she returned to normal.

Annie's words now are probably a joke at him, just like Secretary Jin once did.

"Haha, of course I know, it's just a joke, don't mind me. I just think she has a great figure, similar to mine. Maybe we can exchange fitness tips sometime."

"There will be opportunities. Wen Ruan loves fitness just like you." Tang Song's gaze swept unabashedly over the tall and hot Tall Mare. "You both have great figures."

"Thank you for the compliment." Annie leaned back lazily in her chair, her long legs crossed, her light-colored eyes smiling as she looked at him. "From a friend's perspective, I really like your current personality. It's very relaxing to be with you."

In the past, she always behaved obediently and cautiously in front of Tang Song, and almost never dared to cross the line.

She even felt that she wasn't a woman at all in his eyes, because he never showed any lust or ambiguous emotions.

But Tang Song, who personally picked her up at the airport today, showed her a completely different side of himself.

His gaze was no longer cold and distant, but warmer, and he would even stare at her chest.

His appearance and demeanor have also been completely transformed, making him a refreshing sight.

This subtle change surprised Annie, yet also inexplicably pleased her.

You should know that he used to be a god-like figure.

Cold and aloof, arrogant and resolute, it seems there is nothing in the world he cannot do, and everyone should be his pawn.

Tang Song turned his head to look at her delicate face and smiled, "People always change, and so do I."

"Yes, I completely agree." Annie blinked thoughtfully, then slightly lowered the car window, letting a cool breeze into the cabin.

Then, she turned around, took a pack of women's cigarettes from the car's storage compartment, and asked softly, "Song, do you mind?"

"I don't mind."

Annie smiled, and with a "click," the delicate lighter ignited a pink flame, reflecting off the slender cigarette held between her fingers.

She lowered her head slightly, took a drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

A delicate Moli fragrance filled the air, adding a touch of allure to the already luxurious carriage.

In the quiet carriage, the two chatted casually.

Most of the time, the Tall Mare took the initiative to talk about her own affairs. Even though she had sensed the changes in Tang Song, she still habitually narrated rather than asking questions.

Before we knew it, the car had entered the Suhe Bay Overseas Chinese Town.

Located in a prime location on the Suzhou River, adjacent to the Mo Du General Chamber of Commerce Memorial Square, the area boasts convenient transportation and a beautiful environment.

It integrates high-end residential, commercial, office, hotel and cultural facilities.

It is right next to the famous Bvlgari Hotel and Suhe Bay MixC World.

Annie's house here is a rare waterfront private mansion; there are only 10 such properties in the entire Overseas Chinese Town.

The building has a floor area of approximately 580 square meters, but the actual usable area exceeds 1,000 square meters, making it a typical example of Shanghai-style architecture.

Enter the villa from the underground garage and take the elevator to the second floor.

The interior design is full of artistic flair.

The minimalist style of the decor uses white, gray, and natural wood as the main colors, creating a clean and crisp look while maintaining warmth.

The apartment has a bright and airy layout with excellent natural light, and the furniture, appliances, and decorations are placed just right.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see lush vegetation and beautiful river views.

The assistants quickly got to work, tidying up Annie's luggage and personal belongings, and left after saying a quiet goodbye. Once only the two of them were left in the villa, Annie finally relaxed completely.

She took off her suit jacket and casually hung it on a hanger. "Give me two minutes, I need to change. Oh, this flight was thirteen hours long, I'm exhausted."

After saying that, she turned and walked straight towards the bedroom.

Her back was straight and upright, and her full buttocks swayed gently with her steps, exuding an indescribable charm.

Tang Song couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Just then, Annie turned around abruptly and her eyes met his.

"Wow, I guessed it! You really were spying on me! That makes me so happy, Song." Her face beamed with a bright smile, her voice tinged with a hint of smugness and teasing.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Tang Song's face. "You are a very charming woman, Annie. I am just a normal man."

"Thank you, that's probably the best compliment I've heard all week." Annie gave him a flirtatious look and lightly licked her lips. "By the way, I'm going to change in the next room. If you'd like, you can come over and give me some outfit advice. Who knows, maybe you'll be my source of inspiration!"

Tang Song shook his head slightly, "That won't be necessary."

Having just met the Tall Mare, he wanted to establish a positive and stable image in her mind.

Moreover, she and Secretary Jin are close friends, so doing this must have put her under some psychological pressure.

Annie's lips curled into a wide smile, as if she had already anticipated his reaction, and she turned and walked into the bedroom.

It's worth mentioning that she didn't close the door.

A moment later, footsteps sounded.

Tang Song looked up and saw a completely transformed Annie.

Her outfit was bold and sexy.

She wore only a white strapless top that accentuated her delicate collarbones and beautiful shoulder lines, paired with a high-waisted bodycon skirt that perfectly showcased her long, straight legs.

Her blonde hair fell naturally, highlighting her flawless face.

Her muscles were clearly defined, and the outline of her abdominal muscles could be faintly seen on her lower abdomen. She exuded a healthy feminine beauty, like a goddess sculpted from Greek sculpture.

Human aesthetics are sometimes highly consistent.

Standing in front of Tang Song, Annie deliberately struck a Supermodel pose.

Step one leg forward slightly, toes lightly touching the ground, bend the other leg slightly, and relax your shoulders back.

It perfectly showcased her long neck and beautiful shoulder line.

Then, she raised an eyebrow dramatically. "So? What do you think of my figure? Compared to your girlfriends, who's better?"

Tang Song admired her stunning figure and nodded sincerely. "Absolutely amazing, you are one of a kind."

He had to admit that, in this respect, Tall Mare do indeed have an enviable innate advantage.

A perfect nine-head figure, every inch of its lines seems to have been meticulously sculpted.

"Haha, although you didn't say it out loud, I could tell the answer from your expression."

Annie smiled and winked, then walked gracefully to the hidden refrigerator and took out a bottle of whiskey.

He skillfully poured a glass for each of them, then carried the glasses to the sofa and plopped down on it.

"Cheers to our reunion after a year apart."

"Cheers."

The cool liquor slid into my mouth, bringing a slight warmth.

"To be honest, parties in New York are getting more and more boring. It's always the same faces, the same topics: 'market volatility,' ' Federal Reserve rate hikes,' and so on. I've wanted to visit Huaxia for a while now—"

The air was filled with the occasional crisp "ding" sound of glass colliding.

Annie leaned back lazily on the sofa armrest, looking at Tang Song, complaining about the troubles in New York and her family. It was clear that she was a little tired, and that she really regarded Tang Song as someone she could rely on.

Tang Song listened quietly while admiring the beautiful Tall Mare up close.

He invested a lot of emotion and time into each game character.

Seeing Annie in real life now fills me with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

This feeling is like a two-dimensional character appearing in reality.

After chatting for a while, Annie pulled him into the study and began to show him the photos she had taken during her year-long round-the-world trip.

It was a little after 5 p. m.

Annie stretched and asked, "Song, what do you want to eat tonight? My chef is Michelin- starred; he can make anything you can think of."

Tang Song shook his head. "I'm sorry, Annie. I already have plans tonight, so I can't have dinner with you."

"This is so frustrating," Annie said, scratching her head. "What about tomorrow at noon?"

Tang Song said somewhat apologetically, "I'll be quite busy for the next three days, so the timing isn't sure. I'll come see you when I have time."

Su Yu's mission will begin tomorrow, and he will also receive the corresponding permissions. As long as he is within Su Yu's filming schedule, he can contact her on set.

Compared to Tall Mare, female celebrities are undoubtedly more important to him.

"Okay, your business is the most important." Annie shrugged in disappointment, then asked, "By the way, dear Song, where are you living now? Is it at Cuihu Tiandi or COFCO Property Seaview One?"

Tang Song sat down on the sofa and casually pointed northeast. "Neither. It's at the JW Marriott Hotel, only two kilometers from here."

"Oh?" Annie's eyes lit up instantly. "In that case, why don't you just move in with me? I have a personal chef and a housekeeper here, I guarantee you'll feel right at home. Trust me, it'll be better than any hotel suite."

Tang Song approached, my heart suddenly started racing.

He hadn't actually thought of that suggestion.

Now that the female characters with unlocked privileges, Annie and Mo Xiangwan both have houses in Magic City.

Although he cannot use their authority to do anything to improve his charm rating for the time being, living together does help to cultivate feelings.

"If you don't mind, I have no objection."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Annie stared at him, eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe her ears. "Did I hear that right? You really agreed to move in with me?"

Tang Song raised an eyebrow and replied in a deliberately casual tone, "Well, this was your idea."

The next second, a piercing scream shattered the tranquility of the villa.

"Oh my god, oh my god! This is unbelievable! You, you actually agreed!"

Annie was so excited she almost jumped up and hugged him tightly.

As everyone knows, among these old friends, Tang Song has only ever lived in Jin Meixiao and Su Yu's houses, while she is the third.

This undoubtedly represents her position in his heart.

Feeling the impact of the Tall Mare and watching her deformed basketball, Tang Song helplessly put his arm around Annie.

Breathing in her alluring fragrance, feeling the perfect curves of her waist and hips.

Hai'an Tiankeyuan Residential Area.

The kitchen was filled with the sounds of the range hood and the clinking of spatulas, and the air was thick with the aroma of oil and the fresh scent of seafood.

The whole room was filled with the aroma of cooking.

"I picked these out especially, aren't they amazing?" Zhang Nuo proudly showed off, holding up the freshly steamed crabs. "I'm going to eat the biggest one later!"

"Okay, hurry up and put it on the table. My last dish is almost done cooking, and I need to take a good picture of it."

"Knew."

The aroma in the kitchen gradually intensified.

Sun Jiayue picked up the pot, poured the stir-fried green beans into a plate, and carefully placed it in the center of the table.

Abalone, prawns, crabs, and two simple stir-fries—a sumptuous dinner was thus prepared.

"Mmm, it smells so good." Zhang Nuo took a deep breath and smiled, "Yueyue, do you think your old classmate will think this is too much? Or that you have feelings for him?"

"Hehe, come on." Sun Jiayue laughed indifferently, picked up her Mobile Phone and started taking pictures and posting them on social media.

I also sent a picture to Tang Song with the message, "The food is ready, where are you?"

"Buzz buzz Yi Yi..."

[Tang Song: "We'll be at your neighborhood in four or five minutes."]

Upon seeing the message, Sun Jiayue quickly replied, "Okay, just tell the security guard at the gate and you can come in. I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Just come over."

After sending the message, she took off her apron and casually said as she walked outside, "Nuo Nuo, I'm going downstairs to meet Tang Song."

"Hey, wait a minute, I'll go with you!" Zhang Nuo stuffed the remaining half of the abalone into his mouth, wiped his hands, and quickly followed.

Yi Yi door was closed.

Sun Jiayue glared at her, annoyed. "What are you going to do? You don't even know him."

"Hehe, I just wanted to see him freeze in shock." Zhang Nuo winked and teased deliberately, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You even took out your Prada business suit today, put on a full face of makeup, and sprayed on perfume. You're not even this formal when you're on a date with Xu Pengyuan."

Sun Jiayue arrived home at 5 pm today, and she changed her clothes and put on makeup, taking a very special approach.

This is also the main reason why she just joked with the other person.

"You're overthinking it. I'm not that materialistic," Sun Jiayue replied casually, but a slight smile crept onto her lips.

"Whether it's true or not, you know it in your heart. We both know each other perfectly well."

Sun Jiayue smiled and said nothing more.

"Ding- Yi Yi," the elevator doors slowly opened.

The two stepped inside.

Sun Jiayue's gaze involuntarily fell on her reflection in the elevator mirror.

The exact opposite of the Tang and Tang Song.

In high school, she was a slightly chubby girl, about the same height as Liu Qingning, but weighing over 130 pounds.

Back then, she always stood quietly beside her friends, playing the supporting role.

Whether at class gatherings or other occasions, she was never the center of attention, and she didn't even pay much attention to her clothes or appearance.

However, after entering university, I was exposed to a wider world and gained a clearer understanding of my future.

She started trying to lose weight and taking care of her appearance.

Now she weighs 100 pounds, has exquisite makeup, dignified features, and an annual salary of over 300,000 yuan and a respectable job.

She has already transformed into an outstanding urban woman.

This meeting with old classmates may well have been a way of returning home in triumph.

She really wanted to see Tang Song's shocked expression, and also hoped to use this meeting to showcase her growth and changes over the years.

Whether it's appearance, career, or lifestyle.

The reason she invited Tang Song to her home was to let him witness firsthand her superior living environment. The apartment complex she shared with Zhang Nuo was excellent, right next to the Huangpu River and less than 3 kilometers from Lujiazui. To get to work, she only needed to take bus number 82, which took about ten minutes.

Of course, the rent is also very expensive. A 100-square-meter two-bedroom apartment with full decoration costs as much as 10,000 yuan per month.

In fact, they hadn't seen each other for more than seven years.

Seven years is enough time to change many things, especially the gap between people.

The elevator stopped on the 1st floor Yi Yi a "ding".

The two stepped out of the building entrance.

The sky had completely darkened, and a refreshing evening breeze, carrying the unique crispness of autumn, was blowing in my face, making me feel relaxed and happy.

The two stood under a street lamp.

Zhang Nuo gently nudged Sun Jiayue and stepped aside with a smile, "Alright, now it's your moment to shine. Let's see if he can still recognize you."

Hearing her words, Sun Jiayue shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, and kicked a fallen leaf at her feet with the tip of her high heel.

The crisp, elegant sound of her heels striking the ground accentuated her capable and composed demeanor.

Letting out a breath, Sun Jiayue straightened her back and looked intently toward the South Gate.

It was as if they were waiting for the opening of a long-awaited stage play.

The quiet atmosphere lasted for a moment.

A tall, imposing figure suddenly came into view.

He wore a well-tailored gray suit with a white shirt underneath, which accentuated his excellent proportions of broad shoulders and narrow waist.

The evening breeze stirred, lifting his jet-black hair and vaguely revealing his broad, straight forehead and undulating profile.

In the autumn night, a subtle, indescribable stirring of emotion arises.

Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo's eyes were fixed on him.

As he finally approached, his handsome features became apparent, further enhanced by his confident and elegant demeanor.

He then stopped in front of the two of them.

Those clear, black and white eyes swept over, carrying a hint of inquiry.

"Sun Jiayue?" A magnetic voice rang out.

A smile then appeared on his face, his red lips and white teeth illuminating the entire night.

A moment later, "Tang Song!" Sun Jiayue blurted out, her voice trembling slightly, her face filled with disbelief.

"Long time no see, Sun Jiayue. You've lost so much weight, I almost didn't recognize you."

Tang Song looked at this old classmate he hadn't seen for many years, yet who had appeared many times in his memories of 2016.

A deep sense of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Nuo, standing next to him, felt his eyelids twitch, his throat bob, and his mind screaming wildly.

Girl, are you kidding me?!

(.□°))

This is the "ordinary" high school classmate you were talking about?

Are you sure this male lead didn't just step out of the set of an elite business drama?

You said he just finished filming with Su Yu? I almost believe it!

Good grief, you're trying to pull this trick on me, huh?!

I haven't washed my hair, changed my clothes, or brushed my teeth, but I'm dragging myself downstairs in my slippers to come and have some fun with you!

And I ended up being the clown?!
