Chapter 97 Am I not pretty?
This made Long Jiu doubt his own charm, wondering if he was really that bad.
After all, most men would be like Chen Daozai, showing her concern and care.
Only Chen Yuan, upon their first meeting, was thinking about how to get her home as quickly as possible.
Long Jiu thought Chen Yuan was playing hard to get.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan only released the enemy without capturing him at all.
For a long time after that, there was no news of them.
It was as if Long Jiu was just a passerby who brushed past her.
She stood up, preparing to visit Huang Bingyao's wife.
Seeing Long Jiu walk outside, Chen Daozai quickly followed, beaming with joy.
"Ah Jiu, you're cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
He followed Long Jiu to the garage and was about to open the door to get in the car when he found that he couldn't open the passenger door.
Just as I was about to say something, Long Jiu had already driven away.
Chen Daozai: "
'
It's that he thinks too much.
Several days later.
Hongxing Restaurant.
Long Jiu parked the car steadily in the parking space, but did not get out of the car immediately.
She looked at her makeup carefully in the rearview mirror; it was meticulous and flawless.
In the passenger seat sat Chen Daozai.
Somehow he persuaded Long Wu to come along, and he insisted on doing so.
Fine, let Chen Yuan see that Long Jiu is not unwanted.
Long Jiu pushed open the car door, stepped out with her long legs, and wore a well-tailored dark suit skirt, which made her cool temperament stand out even more.
Chen Daozai followed behind, like a henchman.
Under the respectful guidance of the waiter, the two went up to the second floor and headed towards the largest private room.
The moment he pushed open the door, Chen Daozai instinctively gasped, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Inside the private room, a somber atmosphere prevailed, with people dressed in white shirts and dark uniforms.
Looking around, almost everyone was wearing flowers.
Inspector, Senior Inspector, Chief Inspector...
This was a completely different world from the casinos he was familiar with, filled with the clinking of chips and flashing neon lights.
Long Jiu remained calm, his gaze precisely fixed on Huang Bingyao and his wife at the main table, and he walked leisurely through the crowd.
"Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang."
Her voice was clear and gentle, carrying just the right amount of respect.
"Oh dear, A-Jiu!"
Aunt Huang affectionately took Long Jiu's hand, while Huang Bingyao waved with a smile to Chen Yuan, who was talking to someone not far away.
"Ah Yuan, come here quickly!"
While waiting for Chen Yuan to arrive, Huang Bingyao and his wife naturally noticed Chen Daozai next to Long Jiu.
"Ah Jiu, who is this?"
Aunt Huang looked at Chen Daozai with curiosity.
"He is a friend of my brother Long Wu, Chen Daozai."
Chen Daozai immediately seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and put on what he thought was his most handsome smile, extending his hand to Huang Bingyao.
"Hello, Inspector Wong, I've heard so much about you!"
"My name is Chen Daozai, and I'm Ah Jiu's... friend."
Huang Bingyao: "...
His warm smile paused almost imperceptibly, and he extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Daozai.
"Welcome, welcome, Knife."
At this moment, Chen Yuan walked over.
He was wearing a crisp shirt with the top button undone.
Huang Bingyao immediately gave him an encouraging look.
When Long Jiu saw Chen Yuan arrive, his heart stirred for some reason, but he still maintained that distant smile on his face and took the initiative to speak.
"Congratulations, Inspector Chan, you've cracked another major case."
"You flatter me, it's my job."
Chen Yuan smiled, a polite but brief smile.
His gaze then fell on Chen Daozai, who was standing next to Long Jiu.
"Is this...your boyfriend?"
Chen Yuan asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Long Jiu felt a surge of joy for no apparent reason, but his face remained expressionless.
"Just friends."
"I found this gentleman to be handsome and elegant."
Chen Yuan turned to Chen Daozai with a "I understand you, bro" smile on his face.
"How can we just be friends? You need to work harder!"
Long Jiu:
'
99
Her initial joy vanished, replaced by a nameless anger.
This guy... he's actually encouraging others to pursue her?!
She wanted to say something more, but her lips barely moved.
Chen Yuan, however, nodded to her and Huang Bingyao and his wife as if he had already completed a social task.
He turned and walked toward Stephen Chow and Tsao Ta-hua, who were enjoying their food in the corner while playfully teasing each other.
They...they've left?!
Long Jiu stood there, his smile almost unable to hold on.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
At this moment, Chen Daozai approached, glancing at Long Jiu and then at Chen Yuan's carefree departing figure.
A gambler's intuition told him that something was amiss!
"Ah Jiu".
Chen Daozai lowered his voice, his tone tinged with suspicion and inquiry.
"You and this guy...do you have some kind of story?"
There's nothing there!
Long Jiu immediately answered decisively.
On what grounds?
Why is he not interested in her at all?!
Long Jiu's innate competitive spirit, which never admits defeat, was completely ignited at this moment.
She suddenly turned around and stopped looking at Chen Daozai.
"Go home by yourself tonight."
"oh."
Chen Daozai subconsciously responded, then suddenly realized what he was doing, looked up abruptly, and his eyes widened.
"
Long Jiu ignored him and walked in the direction Chen Yuan had just left, her high heels clicking on the ground.
Chen Yuan was sitting in a relatively quiet corner, holding a glass of water in his hand.
Just now, the system's cold yet familiar notification sound rang out again deep within his mind.
[Attention, host! The second mission world is about to begin. A 24-hour countdown has started. Please prepare!]
Just then, a shadow carrying a faint, cool fragrance and an invisible sense of oppression enveloped the light in front of him.
The aura emanating from the newcomer clearly indicated that he was "not here with good intentions."
Chen Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked up.
Standing before him was Long Jiu, who had returned.
She stood ramrod straight, her face bearing her signature indifferent expression.
But those eyes were fixed on him, unblinking.
Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then gave a polite smile.
"Inspector Lung, is there anything else?"
Long Jiu didn't answer his question. Instead, he took a small step forward, closing the distance between them.
"You really don't want to see me?"
Chen Yuan was taken aback again, this time genuinely confused.
He shook his head, his smile unchanged.
"How could that be?"
His tone even carried a hint of deliberate relaxation.
I don't know how much I want to see you.
hypocritical!
Long Jiu sneered inwardly, his face growing even more icy.
"So, you haven't contacted me during this time?"
Chen Yuan blinked, gave an expression that said, "This is normal," and explained.
"It's too busy. You know that being a police officer means you're either working yourself to the bone or on your way to work yourself to the bone."
The reasons are sound and irrefutable.
Excuses! They're all just excuses!
Long Jiu almost roared inwardly.
She stopped beating around the bush and sat down in the empty seat next to Chen Yuan, turning her head to look at him with sharp eyes.
"Now that you have time, why did you turn around and leave?"
Chen Yuan's face showed just the right amount of innocence.
"Really? I don't think so..."
"No?!"
Long Jiu suddenly sat up straight, her movements slightly larger than usual, causing her entire center of gravity to lean towards Chen Yuan's side.
She stared intently into Chen Yuan's eyes and blurted out a question.
"You don't think I'm pretty?"
"Well...
'
Chen Yuan was caught off guard by this unexpected direct question, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.
But he quickly composed himself, his expression becoming incredibly sincere as he replied.
"Of course it's beautiful."
That's the truth; Long Jiu's looks and figure are impeccable.
"Then why aren't you interested in me?"
Long Jiu followed up with a question, speaking a few steps faster.
