The restaurant was by the sea, with the sound of waves ebbing and flowing. Newest update provıded by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
The two sat under a palm tree, enjoying Thai seafood.
In fact, Sun Ling also really liked summer. Under Jing Yizhou’s relaxed expression, she unexpectedly began to let down her guard and felt a hint of comfort.
"How long do you plan to stay here?" Sun Ling asked as she sipped on the refreshing coconut juice.
"I don’t have plans to leave for now. Isn’t it nice here? Sunny skies, white clouds, champagne, and beauties," Jing Yizhou answered. As he did, two Western beauties wearing bikinis and with great figures passed by their table, greeting Jing Yizhou familiarly.
And at that scene, Sun Ling suddenly thought of Gu Zheng, who never turned away a comer.
So, Sun Ling’s expression turned a bit sour.
Jing Yizhou might have noticed and said with a smile, "It’s their sisters who stayed in the villa you had last night. I begged them for quite a while before they agreed to move rooms."
"I also...I don’t necessarily have to live next to you," Sun Ling retorted.
"If not next to me, then are you going to live with me?" Jing Yizhou asked half-jokingly.
Sun Ling, teased in such a way, was even more defiant, "Why couldn’t I have other choices?"
"Come on, ’big sister,’ the jealousy is getting too strong to cover up even with this hot weather," Jing Yizhou said as he put a peeled shrimp into Sun Ling’s plate.
At that moment, a same-sex couple was kissing by the shore not far away. After Sun Ling glanced at them, she couldn’t help but click her tongue twice, "It seems staying here means not only warding off the temptation of women but also the men."
"Can’t it just be because of the weather that I love staying here?" Jing Yizhou raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit challenged.
"There must be quite a few who throw themselves at you here..."
However, before Jing Yizhou could reply, a Thai waiter approached and said in accented English, "Mr. Jing, Mrs. Jing, this is just a complimentary juice from the hotel."
"Put it down," Jing Yizhou said, and then gave a tip.
But Sun Ling heard very clearly, Mr. Jing and Jing... Mrs. Jing?
What was more important was that this person ruining her reputation didn’t seem panicked at all and only after the server left did he say, "I made it clear from the start that I’m married."
"So what’s with Mrs. Jing?"
"They have never seen a woman by my side before, you are the first. So it’s natural for them to assume you’re Mrs. Jing," Jing Yizhou explained nonchalantly, "Anyway, you’re only staying for a couple of days, and you won’t come back again, so no big deal, right? ’Big sister,’ you’re not really going to make me explain such a trivial matter to them, are you? I’ve also explained away quite a few encirclements for you."
"Or, are you very worried... that something scandalous might happen in a foreign country’s hotel between a single man and a woman?"
Sun Ling was at a loss for words, this man still had such a filthy mouth, so she mocked, "Only these fools would believe our relationship. If you’re married, how come you don’t wear a wedding ring?"
"So you were hoping I’d wear one..."
"What does it have to do with me..." And just like that, in their unconsciousness, the atmosphere between them became very delicate.
It was a game of cat and mouse, each testing the other. Yet, after making the other break into a sweat, they suddenly didn’t know how to continue.
"Let’s talk about the website," Sun Ling quickly changed the subject, "I want to coordinate with ’The Silent’ to get it online as soon as possible. So, even though the big boss likes your design, I still have to speak from the perspective of a layperson. After all, ordinary people don’t have your level of sophistication and won’t understand such sarcastic techniques. And us laypeople need to see the most relatable content first glance, whether it’s examples or modes of seeking help, we can empathize more with these things."
After hearing Sun Ling’s words, Jing Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "Describe to me in detail what you want later."
At that moment, Jing Yizhou couldn’t resist teasing one last time, "But ’big sister’... sitting next to me... will get very hot!"
