Sensing that Lin Qingyou’s mood was off, Gu Xi quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Youyou?”
Lin Qingyou stared intently at the man by the window, her voice laced with fury. “My man cheated on me.”
Gu Xi staggered in shock, almost losing her balance. “…Your man???”
She looked at Lin Qingyou in disbelief. “Youyou, since when do you have a man?”
Lin Qingyou narrowed her eyes dangerously, still locking onto the man by the window. “Xixi, the point right now isn’t whether I have a man or not. The point is—cheating!”
Gu Xi: “…”
“No, wait. Not just cheating. The point is beating up the cheating man.” Lin Qingyou’s rage was about to explode.
Gu Xi swallowed nervously and followed Lin Qingyou’s gaze.
At first glance, all she could see was the back of a man’s head and a partial side profile.
The man’s side profile was breathtakingly handsome, but Gu Xi didn’t immediately recognize him as Yin Hanyu.
Because his clothing style was completely different.
At that moment, the man by the window was dressed in a red leather jacket and leather pants, looking like a carefree delinquent.
But Yin Hanyu was always in tailored suits—a cold, abstinent, and domineering CEO.
So Gu Xi really didn’t associate this man with Yin Hanyu at all.
Lin Qingyou, however, was absolutely, unquestionably, one hundred percent sure.
Even if Yin Hanyu turned to ashes, she would still recognize him, let alone just changing his outfit.
Gu Xi took another look.
The man said something, causing the girl sitting across from him to look visibly distressed.
Suddenly, the girl received a phone call, grabbed her bag, and rushed out the restaurant’s back door like she was escaping.
This time, Gu Xi got a clearer look.
It really was Yin Hanyu.
Oh my god, had he gone insane???!!!
Or was he possessed by something? Why was he suddenly dressed like this?
Wearing red—red leather from head to toe.
He looked like a flamboyant playboy!
At that moment, Gu Xi was completely convinced—Yin Hanyu must have been possessed by some evil spirit.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingyou was already entering the restaurant through the revolving door while dialing Yin Hanyu’s number.
Yin Hanyu saw the caller ID and instantly panicked.
His guilty conscience made him instinctively glance out the window.
For some reason, he had a strange feeling—like he was being watched.
But when he looked outside, there was nothing.
Not a person, not even a bird or a stray dog.
So he finally picked up the call.
As soon as the line connected, Lin Qingyou’s voice came through the phone.
“Darling, where are you right now?”
Yin Hanyu’s heart skipped a beat, his guilt skyrocketing.
He braced himself and replied, “I’m at the Yin family estate. My grandfather needed to talk to me about something.”
“Oh, really?”
Lin Qingyou’s voice dragged out the words.
“Did you need something, Youyou? If not, I’ll hang up now.”
He had another meeting to attend—he still needed to change outfits.
If he was late, the old man would definitely lecture him again.
“Sure, hang up then.”
Lin Qingyou ended the call before he could.
She was using a foldable phone, and because of her anger, she snapped it shut with such force that the screen made a loud click.
Gu Xi jumped in shock.
Silently, she lit a candle in her heart for Yin Hanyu.
But Yin Hanyu was still oblivious to the incoming disaster.
Because his phone rang again.
It was a call from Yin Yichen.
“Bro, hurry up! I can’t hold the fort anymore. The girl has been waiting for almost an hour!”
“I know, I know, I’m coming…”
Yin Hanyu stood up and looked ahead—
“You… You… Youyou…”
Lin Qingyou was standing right in front of him, watching him with a half-smile.
She stepped closer to him. “Baby, weren’t you at the Yin family estate? Since when did the estate turn into a Western restaurant?”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
He really wanted to say he was sleepwalking!
Would it work if he pretended to faint?
Should he claim he wasn’t Yin Hanyu? That she had mistaken him for someone else?
Or should he say he had dissociative identity disorder and this was his second personality?
Ahhh! Heaven, I, Yin Hanyu, have never believed in gods or Buddha, but if you can tell me what to do right now, I swear I’ll start worshiping you!
Amitabha, may the deities protect me!
“Youyou, I… can… explain…” Yin Hanyu stammered.
“I don’t want to hear it… I don’t want to hear it… I don’t want to hear it…”
Lin Qingyou covered her ears like a dramatic heroine from a romance drama.
“Youyou…”
Yin Hanyu reached out his hand, but Lin Qingyou punched him right in the stomach.
With a lion’s roar, she shouted, “EXPLAIN…”
“RIGHT…”
“NOW!!!”
Yin Hanyu clutched his stomach, wincing in pain.
He said, “It’s just… uh… I came out… for a blind date.”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Gu Xi: “…”
Wow. He was surprisingly honest.
But… he dressed like this for a blind date?
No wonder the girl ran off after getting a phone call.
That call was definitely a fake “emergency” to escape the situation.
That girl seemed like the elegant, well-mannered type.
And Yin Hanyu, at this moment, looked like a flamboyant punk.
Lin Qingyou took a closer look—he even had dark, seductive smoky eye makeup.
She almost burst into laughter.
He really went all out.
But she kept her angry facade.
Because Yin Hanyu had lied to her.
Hmph.
“A blind date?” Lin Qingyou pointed at herself. “You have me, and you’re still going on blind dates? Yin Hanyu, has it been too long since I last hit you? Are you itching for a beating?”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
That’s why he sneaked out!
Wait, that made him sound like a scumbag.
Yin Hanyu quickly explained, “I tried to steal the household registration book from the estate last night, but I failed.”
“What???? Steal the household registration book???”
“What???? Steal the household registration book???”
Lin Qingyou and Gu Xi exclaimed in unison, their big, round eyes staring at Yin Hanyu in shock.
The word “steal” and Yin Hanyu in the same sentence?
Gu Xi gave Lin Qingyou a thumbs-up. “Youyou, you’re amazing! You’ve truly tamed him!”
Lin Qingyou shook her head frantically.
This had nothing to do with her!
Not in her wildest imagination did she think Yin Hanyu would try to steal the household registration book last night.
What on earth was he thinking?
This wasn’t in his character setting at all!
“You failed? Then what?”
Lin Qingyou reached out and wiped off some of Yin Hanyu’s smoky eye makeup.
Honestly, he still looked good with it.
A striking, handsome man like him could totally pull off the look.
It wasn’t weird at all—just very different from his usual style.
“Then the old man said if I agreed to meet all the girls he and my uncle carefully selected, he’d give me the household registration book.”
“All those girls come from prestigious families, and if I refuse to meet them, it’d make things difficult for my grandma.”
But he only agreed to meet them.
He never agreed to “properly meet them.”
So, in just half a day, he had already scared off several of them.
