“Tiantian…”
Zhou Suisui cut her off, her tone laced with mixed emotions.
“That dress was ordered by your brother for another woman, and her figure is about the same as mine.”
The moment she finished speaking, Jiang Ruitian said excitedly, “I begged my brother to order it after agreeing to intern at his company. He had it flown in from overseas overnight. Going by the timing, it should be arriving in the next couple of days.”
Zhou Suisui’s mouth fell open in shock. “Are you saying that dress was ordered by your brother for you?”
“Of course! Suisui, you seemed to like that dress too, didn’t you? Once it arrives, I’ll lend it to you for a couple of days.”
Jiang Ruitian was being incredibly generous.
“Heh… heh…”
Zhou Suisui could barely manage a smile.
Her mouth suddenly went dry. She licked her rosy lips with the tip of her tongue and said guiltily, “What if your brother gave the dress to someone else?”
“What?! He dared to give my dress to another woman?! I’ll kill her!”
Jiang Ruitian’s sweet voice instantly transformed into a terrifying roar.
Zhou Suisui immediately felt guilty. “Tiantian, I’ve decided to give you the other half of my allowance too. How does that sound?”
“What?! Sis, why are you being so nice to me? We really are sisters!”
Jiang Ruitian paused, then frowned. “Wait, since when did you become so generous?”
The next second, her voice suddenly rose several octaves as she figured it out. “My brother gave the dress to you?!”
“…”
Zhou Suisui wished she could sew her mouth shut.
What did it feel like to gossip about someone, only to discover that you were the subject of the gossip?
She cleared her throat and put on a calm expression. “Weren’t you just saying that you’d lend me the dress for a couple of days once you got it? After I wear it for two days, I’ll return it to you.”
“Ah!!”
Jiang Ruitian suddenly let out a shriek and jumped off the bed in excitement. “My brother really gave the dress to you?”
Then she burst out laughing. “You don’t have to return it. It was a gift from my brother to you, so it’s yours.”
Zhou Suisui was stunned. “Weren’t you angry just now?”
“I didn’t know my brother had given it to you! Hahaha, it’s fine, it’s fine. Wear it as much as you like! I’ll have him buy me ten more later!”
“I’m hanging up. I’m going to find Mom!”
Jiang Ruitian ended the call in a rush.
Zhou Suisui clutched her phone and sniffed, deeply touched. My best friend is so wonderful!
She was even willing to give up her favorite dress for her.
What was she supposed to do? She was starting to fall for her.
She wanted to become her sister-in-law.
—
Realizing that she had made a huge mistake, Zhou Suisui hurriedly slipped on her slippers and scampered downstairs to find Cui Wu.
Jiang Zongyan was such a liar.
So he didn’t have another woman after all!
For some reason, Zhou Suisui’s gloomy mood suddenly brightened. The clouds in her heart dispersed in an instant.
“Sister Wu!”
Cui Wu had just changed into her pajamas and was preparing for bed when she quickly put her clothes back on.
“Miss, what’s the matter?”
“Sister Wu, where are those things from earlier? The things Jiang Zongyan had someone deliver to me.”
Seeing her anxious expression, Cui Wu smiled knowingly. “I knew you liked that dress, Miss. I’ve kept it somewhere safe for you.”
As she spoke, she took a small box and a gift bag from the wardrobe beside her and handed them to Zhou Suisui with both hands.
“Mm, thank you, Sister Wu.”
Zhou Suisui accepted the box and bag, thanked her, then turned around and hurried back upstairs in tiny steps.
Behind her, Cui Wu shook her head with a smile.
The young master and the young miss had both grown up. They were even starting to date now.
Back in her room, Zhou Suisui immediately took the dress and lingerie out of the bag.
She hadn’t looked closely before. Now she noticed that the lingerie was white lace, with a small black bow right in the center.
Um… Had Jiang Zongyan chosen this style?
Did he like this sort of thing?
Something sexy?
With lace?!
Zhou Suisui pinched the sexy little bow between her fingers and examined it again and again, her cheeks turning bright red.
In the end, she reached a conclusion: Brother Yan was secretly quite racy.
She set the lingerie aside and opened the box. To her surprise, it contained a bottle of burn ointment.
The corners of Zhou Suisui’s lips slowly curled into an unbearably smug smile.
She took back everything she had said about him.
Zhou Suisui pulled out her phone, opened the contact card Jiang Ruitian had sent her, and tapped to add him by scanning the QR code.
The next moment, a profile page popped up.
At the top were the user’s basic details. Beside the profile picture was the nickname “J,” a simple single letter.
The phone number and tags below were blank.
It certainly suited his aloof, domineering-CEO image.
But there was one difference…
Under the words “Moments,” there was also a line of red text.
Before the text was a circle containing an exclamation mark.
Zhou Suisui paused.
Why didn’t this look like the usual interface for adding someone on WeChat?
Could it be that a domineering CEO’s WeChat page was different from everyone else’s?
Zhou Suisui was mildly nearsighted.
She switched on the bedside lamp, brought her phone close, and examined the screen carefully.
“(!) This user has been added to your blacklist. You will no longer receive messages from them…”
Boom!
A bolt of lightning seemed to explode inside Zhou Suisui’s mind, leaving her completely frozen on the spot!
Oh God!
She had blacklisted Jiang Zongyan on WeChat!
At that moment, his account was lying there quietly in her blacklist.
She couldn’t help recalling the meaningful look in Jiang Zongyan’s eyes when she had asked him for his WeChat account.
It took several seconds before Zhou Suisui finally recovered from the shock. She forced out a smile that looked even worse than crying.
It was over. Jiang Zongyan would definitely think she was an idiot—a ridiculous, impossible-to-please idiot.
She had blacklisted him, then gone and asked him for his WeChat?
Was that even something a normal person would do?
Wait. At the time, Jiang Zongyan seemed to have asked her in return, “You don’t have my WeChat?”
How had she answered him?
She had said that he didn’t care about her and didn’t even know that she didn’t have his WeChat…
Zhou Suisui buried her face deep in her pillow.
She was too mortified to face anyone. What on earth had she done in front of Jiang Zongyan over the past few days?
When had she blacklisted his WeChat?
Why couldn’t she remember any of it?
She couldn’t even remember when she had added his account!
How was she supposed to explain to Jiang Zongyan that she had blacklisted him?
Zhou Suisui grabbed her hair in distress and agonized over it for a long while. Finally, she gritted her teeth.
As long as you had thick enough skin, you could conquer the world.
So what if she had blacklisted his WeChat?
Besides, she hadn’t done it on purpose!
She climbed out of bed, picked up her phone again, tapped the three dots in the upper-right corner, and removed him from her blacklist.
Her slender, fair fingers opened the chat window.
[Brother Yan, it’s me, Suisui.]
[Sorry, maybe my cat blacklisted your WeChat…]
“No, no!”
That sounded way too deliberate!
What cat was clever enough to happen to blacklist him?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Suisui deleted the message and opened the sticker panel below.
She searched through the stickers and found an adorable one—a chubby little girl with two tiny pigtails, holding a phone to her ear with her plump little hands. The image was captioned, “Moshi moshi~~”
It was so cute it was almost lethal.
She tapped send, then sat quietly waiting for Jiang Zongyan’s reply.
She had already made up her mind. As long as he replied, she would seize the opportunity to ask whether his injuries were serious.
And whether he had gone to the hospital to get them checked out.
