Hahahahahahahahaha

Inside Tefulai Mall, on the first floor in the cosmetics section, Han Yixing was asking the clerk about recent sales figures, using the data to make adjustments to the company's future market direction.

"Recently, perfume sales have been far lower than the demand for cosmetics like lipstick. The hottest product has been this new facial mask launched by the company..." the female manager kept explaining beside Han Yixing.

Han Yixing listened while looking over the bills beside the computer, clearly multitasking.

His deep eyes and composed features gave people an inexplicable sense of security, while also carrying a powerful allure. At the very least, the gazes of quite a few female college students working part-time in the store sparkled whenever they looked at him.

The Han Family's business in Su City was enormous, with holdings in nearly every sector. Calling them the local overlords of Su City would not be an exaggeration. As the Han Family's eldest son, Han Yixing clearly carried a heavier burden than most.

Otherwise, he would not have gone into the military for training first, then returned to university to study while taking over management of the cosmetics company.

The lights in the cosmetics store were exceptionally bright, making the products displayed in the counters appear even more expensive.

The corners reflected dazzling brilliance under the incandescent lights, making the whole place look sparkling from outside.

Han Yixing was very satisfied with the store's appearance. After all, once he had revised the lighting design, the store's overall monthly revenue had increased by ten percentage points.

Yet while looking at the displays, he unexpectedly spotted Su Qi, who had vanished for the entire day.

At that moment, a refined, mature woman was standing close beside her.

From far away, Han Yixing saw the woman say something, and Su Qi began to laugh.

Han Yixing quietly followed the two of them. He wanted to see where they were going, and what exactly had happened with Su Qi running off early that morning.

As Wang Yun and Su Qi walked through the mall, Wang Yun realized that the burning sensation in her chest had gradually faded. She could not help but sigh in relief. Good thing she had not confessed just now. She really needed to calm down.

Su Qi was not much of a talker. Wearing Soochow University's uniform while strolling through the mall, she drew plenty of attention. After all, other than high school students, who still wore school uniforms? Along the way, Wang Yun kept teaching Su Qi how to slack off and skip work in the workplace.

She even invited Su Qi to become her subordinate after graduating from university, promising to teach her how to slack off step by step.

Su Qi was left speechless. How could a company like that be a major chain corporation, and even one of the world's top 500 companies?

She could not understand it, could not understand it at all. Still, she managed to indirectly find out Wang Yun's salary. It was actually over forty thousand a month, enough to make Su Qi's jaw drop.

What did over forty thousand mean? It meant she could achieve cherry freedom! Su Qi even wanted to cling tightly to this rich woman's thigh.

Unfortunately, she knew that even if she hugged it now, she could only do so for a few days. A few days later, she—no, she would only be able to hug men's thighs.

Thinking of that somewhat thick leg hair, Su Qi shuddered. Forget it, she would rather hug a rich woman's thigh.

At night, plenty of couples wandered around the streets. Looking at pair after pair of them, then at the mature and elegant Wang Yun beside her, Su Qi suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although they were not boyfriend and girlfriend, other people did not know that. Seeing the occasional envious and jealous looks from men, Su Qi felt that her vanity of eighteen years had been greatly satisfied.

Of course, Han Yixing, following behind them, noticed this as well. He had not expected quiet little Su Qi from the dorm to have landed such a stunning beauty. What skill.

No wonder she had left so early in the morning. She was spending time alone with a beautiful woman!

With that thought, Han Yixing no longer intended to go up and greet them. He was also afraid of disturbing their private time.

But just then, Su Qi spotted Han Yixing in a mirror as he was about to turn away. She turned around, lowered her voice, and greeted him. "Brother Han, why are you wandering around the mall alone so late? Want to join us?"

She had just heard Wang Yun talk about the awkward encounter she had with her boss in the restroom today. At that moment, a smile bloomed on Su Qi's palm-sized face. Her brows curved, her eyes shimmered, and dimples appeared on both cheeks, paired with her smooth, luminous skin. With one backward smile, she eclipsed every other beauty.

Even Han Yixing felt his throat go dry. Why was Su Qi becoming more and more bewitching?

"Hey, isn't that Han Yixing? You know each other?" Wang Yun spoke first.

Su Qi had not expected the two of them to know each other.

"Yun, I didn't expect it to be you either." Han Yixing greeted Wang Yun.

"You know each other?" Su Qi asked Wang Yun in a lowered voice.

Hearing Su Qi speak in that hoarse voice again, Wang Yun found it amusing. No way, was someone really fooled by her clumsy disguise? Su Qi did not even have an Adam's apple. Wasn't that obvious at a glance?

Wang Yun looked at Su Qi, only to discover that she had flipped up the collar of her school uniform. Her Adam's apple really could not be seen. In this summer heat, wasn't she worried about getting hot?

"We know each other. Little Han and I are neighbors. When he was little, he used to cling to me all the time," Wang Yun said.

At the mention of his childhood, Han Yixing, whose expression was always unchanged, finally showed a shift in expression. But a second later, he returned to normal and calmly said, "Those were just childhood memories. The relationship between you two is...?"

"Land...lady."

"We're a couple."

Su Qi's lowered voice was clearly drowned out by Wang Yun's answer.

"I didn't expect Yun to end up liking Little Qi. When did you two start dating?" Han Yixing asked with interest. He had always wondered what kind of man this mature Campus Belle from Soochow University had liked back then. He had not expected her to be won over by little Qi from his dorm. And lately, Su Qi's romantic luck had clearly been rather strong.

And this girl had been oddly captivating lately. Just that smile when she turned around had made his heart itch.

"Two months ago, we met when I twisted my ankle in high heels on the road," Wang Yun lied without batting an eye. The hand wrapped around Su Qi's arm tightened slightly, making her meaning perfectly clear: Don't expose me.

Feeling the soft warmth against her arm, Su Qi's thoughts began to wander, and she stopped arguing.

If Wang Dongxu or Wu Wei had heard Wang Yun's explanation, they would definitely have known she was lying. The reason was simple: why would shut-in Su Qi ever help someone on the street? She was the kind of person who could go an entire semester without leaving campus.

But Han Yixing was a busy man and did not understand Su Qi's daily routine. He merely hummed and asked, "Then what's the relationship between you two?"

"We're roommates!" After Han Yixing said that—

He saw the mature and steady girl-next-door sister, who had always been so composed, burst into unladylike laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

She even laughed until tears came out, clutching her stomach as she squatted on the ground.

Quite a few people turned to look.

How had such a beautiful woman suddenly gone crazy?

Wang Yun looked Han Yixing over. She had not expected this eldest son of her neighbor's family, the genius his grandfather praised as peerless, to fail to notice that Su Qi was a girl.

And he thought they were roommates, yet he still had not realized it.

She could not take it anymore. Let laughter kill her. Hahahaha.
