This afternoon, Chen Pingjiang rushed to the Sports Institute girls' dormitory building downstairs to pick up Yan Yan.
The weather in late March was sunny and bright, and the temperature was getting higher and higher.
Today, Yan Yan was exceptionally beautifully dressed, in a brown women's casual suit paired with a black base shirt, a small black cross-body bag, and knee-high leather boots, further accentuated by black stockings.
Her already slender long legs appeared even straighter and thinner, highlighted by the boots.
Her entire demeanor looked cool, aloof, and chic.
A devilish figure.
Ever since Yan Yan got into the car, Chen Pingjiang couldn't take his eyes off her, admiring Yan Yan's legs pressed together.
As if feeling Chen Pingjiang's fiery gaze, Yan Yan playfully chided him, a little embarrassed:
"Watch the road, why are you looking at me?"
"I just didn't expect you to wear black stockings,"
Chen Pingjiang still stared intently.
This guy was a genuine leg fetishist, and Yan Yan's legs were simply incredibly perfect; one point more would be too fat, one point less would be too thin.
"It...it was Cao Jie who told me to wear them,"
Yan Yan was a little afraid to meet Chen Pingjiang's unrestrained gaze.
"Cao Jie really understands men,"
Chen Pingjiang couldn't help but want to give Cao Jie a thumbs-up.
This was considered a bold attempt by Yan Yan in her dressing style; in the past, she would only wear sporty or cool light-colored clothing.
Today's casual suit, black stockings, and straight, long legs exuded a full sense of restraint and instantly created a different feeling.
Yan Yan still remembered Cao Jie's persuasion:
"Although Yan Yan, you are also extremely beautiful, Chen Pingjiang definitely has a bunch of girls around him at their school. If I were you, I'd have to make him absolutely smitten, let him clearly know that none of the little vixens around him can compare to you."
"It must be black stockings; men all love them. Trust me, you can't go wrong."
And so, Yan Yan, as if by some strange impulse, bought a pair of black stockings.
When Yan Yan shyly changed clothes in the dorm, Cao Jie's eyes went wide, and she clapped her hands, exclaiming:
"This is good, this is good!"
Shaking her head, breaking free from her thoughts, Yan Yan asked curiously:
"Where are we going?"
"Haven't you ever been to Xiao Chen Barbecue? I'll take you to try it today."
"Oh, is this our first time having a meal alone?"
Yan Yan thought for a moment and said.
Chen Pingjiang realized it was true; the two had quite a few muddled hotel stays together, but it seemed like this was truly their first meal, and on Christmas Eve, Cao Jie was also there as a third wheel.
The car arrived at Xiao Chen Barbecue's Cai Da branch.
As soon as Chen Pingjiang and Yan Yan entered, Wei Xiaoqing's eyes lit up.
"Boss!"
Wei Xiaoqing called out sweetly, her expression joyful and excited.
Chen Pingjiang hadn't been here to eat for quite a long time.
She then looked at the unbelievably beautiful woman behind Chen Pingjiang, a beauty with a model's figure, and Wei Xiaoqing quickly called out:
"Hello, Boss's wife!"
Their boss having a girlfriend, and one who was tall and beautiful, was no longer a secret within the catering company.
Zhu Yuanlan was the first to meet Yan Yan, and since she and Wei Xiaoqing lived in the same dorm, Wei Xiaoqing remembered these characteristics.
Yan Yan smiled gracefully and generously:
"Hello."
After countless times of being mistaken for Chen Pingjiang's girlfriend, and with their relationship suddenly improving on Christmas Eve, although neither had confessed, Yan Yan had already begun to actively embrace the role.
Wei Xiaoqing immediately came out from behind the front desk, ran to Yan Yan's side, chattering praises, her little mouth seemingly smeared with honey.
"Wow, I finally get to see you in person! I've long heard from Sister Zhu that the boss's wife is especially beautiful."
"Seeing you today, you're truly like a fairy."
"Boss's wife, you give off a very comfortable feeling, exactly like my idol Gao Yuanyuan."
"You and our boss are such a good match! Both of you are so tall, and the moment you walked in, your aura was powerful."
"Boss's wife, what would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you."
"..."
Wei Xiaoqing was much more outgoing than Zhu Yuanlan; her friendly and familiar manner even made Chen Pingjiang feel he couldn't compare.
But Yan Yan didn't find it annoying at all and chatted with Wei Xiaoqing.
She naturally possessed the dignified elegance and gentle grace of a young lady from a good family, two styles that were completely different from her outwardly cool appearance.
Chen Pingjiang didn't ask what Yan Yan's family did, but to cultivate such an aura, her family must be extraordinary.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Chen Pingjiang, seeing that Wei Xiaoqing's enthusiasm had drawn the gazes of surrounding diners, quickly gave a cough:
"You go busy yourself."
After speaking, he led Yan Yan into a small private room.
After seeing Chen Pingjiang enter the private room and close the door.
Students nearby whispered amongst themselves.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's Chen Pingjiang, right?"
"Who else could it be? Didn't the store manager just call him boss? It's definitely Chen Pingjiang."
"Have you seen that woman? She's so damn beautiful, just looking at her back, I was utterly captivated."
"She's definitely not from our school. I haven't seen anyone this beautiful at school anyway. They say there's a really pretty one in the freshman International Trade major, but it's definitely not her."
"Damn it, all the good cabbage is being eaten by pigs."
"Heh heh, Chen Pingjiang is a prominent figure at Cai Da now, handsome and rich, treated like a father by the school leaders, so picking up a girl like that is just about right."
"That's true, but... sigh, anyway, suddenly, the beef in front of me doesn't seem so appealing anymore."
"..."
After entering the private room, Yan Yan unwrapped the plastic film from the tableware, dutifully scalded the tableware with hot water, and then handed it to Chen Pingjiang.
"You sit for a bit, I'll go check on the kitchen."
After walking out of the private room, Chen Pingjiang didn't pay attention to the gazes around him and walked into the kitchen to greet Ai Zhiwei and Bao Yufang.
In the kitchen of Xiao Chen Barbecue's main branch now, he only recognized these two people; Chen Lei and others had already been transferred to other branches to be head chefs.
"Boss, what brings you here?"
"Oh, Xiao Chen!"
"..."
Cong Nini found the private room according to the address Chen Pingjiang provided.
To prevent the girl from bothering him further, Chen Pingjiang specially arranged this setup.
When she pushed open the private room door and saw Yan Yan sitting opposite her, even though Cong Nini considered herself a beauty, she suddenly realized that she absolutely could not compare to the girl in front of her.
The last time Cong Nini had felt this way was because of her former roommate — Zhang Xinyue.
But unlike Zhang Xinyue, although the girl in front of her didn't smile much, had a dignified posture and a cool demeanor, she possessed a serene beauty.
Her inherent aura was unmistakable; this feeling of a cultivated young lady, gentle and graceful, made Cong Nini feel that this girl was very gentle.
Cong Nini felt that even Zhang Xinyue couldn't exert such pressure on her.
This pressure was an overwhelming dominance in every dimension: appearance, temperament, and height.
Cong Nini, suddenly a little nervous, walked to a stool and sat down under Yan Yan's surprised gaze.
"Hello, excuse me, did Chen Pingjiang book this private room?"
"Ah, yes."
Although Yan Yan was very puzzled, she still spoke, and then abruptly added a sentence:
"I'm his girlfriend, and you are?"
"I..."
Cong Nini suddenly felt choked and unable to speak.
This girl's cool demeanor and clear yet seemingly distant voice put a lot of pressure on her.
Cong Nini felt she had a hint of madness in her bones; outwardly, she usually liked to pretend to be aloof, but the person in front of her was truly cool, cool to the point of serene indifference.
In front of her, she felt a sense of inferiority.
If forced to describe it, it was probably the difference between a mortal woman and a fairy.
"Chen Pingjiang is my class monitor. I just heard he was here, so I came to get a free meal."
Yan Yan nodded, revealed a bright and gentle smile, and put away her cool expression:
"He went to order food, he'll be back soon. You can wash the tableware."
"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."
Cong Nini disliked Zhang Xinyue's pride, but she had a new appreciation for Yan Yan's gentle and graceful demeanor and quickly took the kettle to clean the tableware herself.
While they were talking, Chen Pingjiang had already returned to the private room from the kitchen.
"Oh, why are you here?"
Chen Pingjiang feigned surprise and asked, staring at Cong Nini.
Cong Nini smiled calmly:
"I heard you were here, so I came to get a free meal. I didn't expect to see your girlfriend."
Chen Pingjiang nodded and introduced to Yan Yan: "A classmate from our class."
"I know, Cong Nini, a very nice name."
Looking at Chen Pingjiang and Yan Yan, perfectly matched in front of her, Cong Nini laughed mockingly in her heart,
"Perhaps this is what people call a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfectly balanced match."
She had convinced Chen Pingjiang to let her meet his official girlfriend precisely to see if she still had a chance.
If she had just found her to be ordinary, Cong Nini would not have been willing to give up and might even have resolved to break them up.
But facing Yan Yan, Cong Nini knew she had no chance at all.
