Chapter 30: The Real Beauty Trap!

Chen Keqing: (picture)

Chen Keqing: I’m about to start making the cake, we’ll chat later. (fight on)

After preparing all the ingredients, Chen Keqing snapped a photo and sent it over.

If replying while baking were not so inconvenient, Su Ze felt she could probably have kept chatting with him for another 10 yuan’s worth of messages.

Compared with some scheming, deeply shrewd women Su Ze had met,

Chen Keqing was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Her thoughts were truly easy to read.

Simply put…

The girl had fallen in love.

If Chen Keqing had no romantic feelings for him, she would never have opened with a line like “How does the cake taste?”.

Because that was nothing but an excuse of “I just want to talk with you for a bit”.

“No wonder, once doomsday started, she followed me so readily…”

Su Ze could not help curling his lips into a smile.

Mm…

You could call it mutual attraction, although at first he just wanted to “throw her in a sack”, and his intentions were far less pure than Chen Keqing’s.

“Is this the place?”

The taxi driver’s voice pulled Su Ze back from his thoughts.

“Yeah, right here, thanks.”

After opening the door and getting out, Su Ze checked the address Prince Xin had sent again; it was the 5th floor of the building in front of him, where a board-game room was located.

“Seven waiting for one, Brother Ze, hurry up.”

Prince Xin sent another message urging Su Ze to come upstairs.

According to him, there were 3 men and 4 women in the room, a perfectly balanced head count.

Moreover, the prettiest girl had specially saved the seat beside her for Su Ze…

Before long,

Su Ze knocked on the private room’s door.

“Brother Ze, your face is really big; everyone’s been waiting for you.” Prince Xin opened the door and, while keeping his back to the others, kept winking at Su Ze.

He was probably saying, “See, that beauty in the corner is gorgeous, isn’t she? As your bro, I’d never forget you when something this good comes along.”

However…

When Su Ze’s eyes turned toward the girl in the corner…

“Hello, Su Ze.”

The beauty in the corner was an acquaintance…

“Qin Yushi, so the stunning beauty they were talking about is you.”

Su Ze smiled and greeted her politely.

At Qin Yushi’s beckoning, he walked over and sat down in the seat beside her.

“Damn, you two know each other?”

Only then did Prince Xin realize he was the clown.

He stared wide-eyed, trying to communicate with Su Ze via eye contact, but Su Ze refused and deliberately diverted his gaze, giving the beauty beside him another appreciative look…

Qin Yushi.

In terms of figure and looks…

She probably was not inferior to Chen Keqing.

“I didn’t let you down, did I, Su Ze?”

Qin Yushi joked with Su Ze in an open and easy manner; Su Ze only smiled without saying anything, as for whether he was disappointed…

It could hardly be called that.

Even so, Su Ze was not particularly fond of Qin Yushi.

Because, in Su Ze’s experience, Qin Yushi was exactly the type of woman who was calculating and deeply shrewd.

She was beautiful, but not that likable.

There were basically two reasons why she was unlikable.

First, Qin Yushi flirted with people but never truly gave them a chance.

In other words, she exploited her looks.

She deliberately gave people the illusion that they could reach out and touch her, yet in reality it was just like the “one more slash” on Pinduoduo.

She would always keep you just a tiny bit short.

By the time you came to your senses, you had been thoroughly used…

The other reason

Was that getting too close to Qin Yushi would invite all kinds of trouble.

Qin Yushi’s background was substantial; she came from genuine high society.

Even among the elite circles of 2nd-generation and 3rd-generation heirs, Qin Yushi was still outstanding.

Therefore, if you wanted to make Qin Yushi your woman, you first had to consider her background.

In that circle, the phrase “a marriage between social equals” was no joke.

Su Ze knew himself well; although he held considerable assets and was regarded as wealthy by many,

In front of Qin Yushi… or rather, in front of her family background… he was nothing…

Those two reasons

Caused the former Su Ze to have only a so-so impression of Qin Yushi.

After all, there were plenty of pretty women; why bother with a character like her?

……………

“Since everyone’s here, let’s start the game.”

Apparently the others had been waiting for a while.

Su Ze had barely warmed his seat when the game began.

The game was nothing unusual, just the common Monopoly.

“I heard from your roommate that you’re single now?”

Chatting did not interfere with playing; Qin Yushi smiled and talked with Su Ze.

“Mm, kind of…”

“What do you mean ‘kind of’… oh, so you’re still flirting with other girls, huh.”

It was much the same as his previous impression.

Like a high-level player, Qin Yushi kept increasing her perceived availability.

They were only chatting casually, yet she seemed displeased that Su Ze was flirting with other girls, deliberately showing a disappointed expression…

To be honest.

Su Ze’s mind was also very active at this moment.

The past was the past; now is now…

There were only 3 days left until doomsday; where could he find a “doomsday sister” for Chen Keqing…

Maybe he should just make do with Qin Yushi; at least this woman passed the looks test and, moreover… kept herself clean.

Those four words sounded rather odd when applied to her.

Yet they were not misused…

“Crap, I have to mortgage my property; Su Ze, you’re loaded with cash, could you buy my plot at a high price? It’s in a prime location!”

Using the game as a pretext, Qin Yushi fired up her flirtation with Su Ze again.

She stared at Su Ze with pleading, limpid eyes that were incredibly alluring… at least the others nearby were transfixed.

The expressions of the other guys looked as if they wanted to dump all their chips and give them to Qin Yushi.

At the same time, they cast contemptuous looks at Su Ze.

“You fool, she spelled it out for you… just agree already!”

Honestly…

Su Ze felt something intangible at that moment.

This was probably what people called a beauty trap…

Of course, you need to understand the beauty trap correctly.

Some imagine a beauty trap as a scantily clad girl swaying her hips before some big shot, playing cute or seductive, the whole scene dripping with springtime allure.

But the real beauty trap…

“Hello, Teacher Luo, my name is Zhuang Yan.”

In Su Ze’s eyes, Qin Yushi might not match up to Zhuang Yan, but she was indeed hard to refuse…

Therefore…

“No deal, just go bankrupt already.”

Su Ze snorted with a laugh and said half-jokingly.
