Ye Cheng stopped walking and glanced back at him: "Oh? Find a place to make do? Like what? Go get a room?"

She spread her hands, with a look of "difficulty": "But I didn't bring my ID! Can't get one!"

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you, always forgetting things..."

Jiang Ye pretended to sigh helplessly: "Then how about this, I'll get a room using my ID. After I check in, you can just go upstairs directly. The front desk won't stop you."

He paused, straightened his back, and added righteously: "Don't overthink it! I'm not trying to take advantage of you or anything! It's mainly because you didn't bring your ID, and me getting a Twin Room alone would be too conspicuous, easily causing misunderstandings. So getting a King-size Room is most suitable... Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa or on the floor! I'll absolutely guarantee your safety!"

Ye Cheng almost laughed out loud looking at his serious expression.

"Cut it out! Stop with that act! Don't I know you? After I go up, are you going to say 'Cheng Cheng, I'm so cold,' 'Cheng Cheng, the floor is so hard,' 'Cheng Cheng, I'll just hug you, I won't do anything'?"

Suppressing her laughter, she slowly delivered the fatal blow: "Did you forget? I still rent a small apartment in the Taian Building! No need for you to spend money on a room, ha!"

Jiang Ye: "..."

The anticipation on his face instantly collapsed.

Damn it! Didn't expect this woman to be three steps ahead!

Looking at his deflated expression, Ye Cheng finally couldn't hold back and "pfft" laughed out loud, feeling inexplicably happy.

Just as Jiang Ye racked his brains, trying to struggle a bit more and fully prove what a righteous, innocent, and absolutely pure gentleman he was, a commotion suddenly came from not far outside the Police Station.

"Zhang Wenhai! I can hold my nose and come here, I'm already giving you face. Can you stop pestering me?!"

"Wanxing, listen to me! I followed you... I really just wanted to properly apologize to you, but I haven't figured out how to say it, my mind is a mess, that's why..."

Jiang Ye immediately raised an eyebrow, his gossip spirit burning fiercely, and he forgot about his "room-getting mission," quickly tugging at Ye Cheng's sleeve:

"Let's go, let's go, watch the show! Didn't expect it to be a freaking drama series..."

The two walked out of the Police Station gate and indeed saw Lin Wanxing and Zhang Wenhai standing face-to-face under the streetlight.

Lin Wanxing's face was full of exhaustion and disappointment, her hands in her Down Jacket pockets, her body slightly turned, looking like she didn't want to talk much.

Zhang Wenhai looked anxious, wanting to get closer but not daring to get too close, his hands gesturing helplessly, desperately trying to explain something.

Seeing Jiang Ye and Ye Cheng come out of the Police Station, the two's argument instantly stopped.

Zhang Wenhai saw Jiang Ye, his face immediately darkened, his eyes filled with resentment, and he walked straight toward Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye frowned, instinctively pulling Ye Cheng behind him, stepping forward and speaking first: "Buddy, I advise you to calm down. If you dare to hit me, I'll immediately lie down. If I don't scam you out of your pants, consider yourself lucky you bought a lot!"

Zhang Wenhai: "..."

Zhang Wenhai was choked by Jiang Ye's shameless words, his face turning bright red.

He looked at the other's six-foot-tall stature, glanced at the nearby Police Station, and finally suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, and turned back to Lin Wanxing's side resentfully.

"Wanxing, let's not talk here. Let's find a place, I'll treat you to a late-night snack, and we can talk properly, okay?"

Lin Wanxing shook her head, her voice cold: "There's nothing to talk about, Zhang Wenhai. I'm really disappointed in you. I even prepared Christmas and New Year's gifts for you, but you..."

At this point, her voice choked up a bit, but she quickly forced herself to calm down. She glanced at Jiang Ye and Ye Cheng nearby, seeming to feel it inappropriate to say these things in front of outsiders, and quickly whispered a couple more things to Zhang Wenhai.

Zhang Wenhai's face became even uglier, alternating between green and white. But looking at Lin Wanxing's resolute attitude, he finally sighed heavily, said nothing, directly turned around, flagged down a Taxi, got in, and left.

A storm seemed to temporarily subside.

Lin Wanxing watched the direction where the Taxi's taillights disappeared, stood silently for a few seconds, then turned and walked toward Jiang Ye and Ye Cheng.

"Hello, just now inside, the police roughly told me the situation... Thank you. Although the method was a bit... special, it was still because of me."

Jiang Ye smiled and waved his hand: "No problem, just a small effort, it's what I should do. Seeing injustice on the road!"

Lin Wanxing smiled, seeming to relax a bit.

She hesitated, took out her phone from her pocket, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Um... how about I return that 1000 yuan to you? My thing... after all, isn't worth much."

Ye Cheng, standing nearby, heard "1000 yuan" and immediately raised an eyebrow, instinctively glancing at Lin Wanxing's long legs and the boots she was wearing, comparing them to her own in her mind.

Jiang Ye smiled, took out his phone, swiped a few times on the screen, and showed a QR Code: "Up to you."

Lin Wanxing picked up her phone and scanned it, then froze—what popped up on the screen wasn't a payment interface, but a friend request.

She looked up at Jiang Ye in surprise, then at his very pretty girlfriend beside him, thinking to herself:

Hah, another big scumbag who dares to add another woman's WeChat right in front of his girlfriend!

However, since the other had protected her all the way earlier, Lin Wanxing didn't want to embarrass him in front of others, especially in front of his girlfriend.

She hesitated and tactfully said: "Just now... it didn't scan. Can you bring up the payment page again?"

But Jiang Ye acted like he didn't understand her hint, shaking his phone screen again: "Really no need to return the money. Let's just be friends, add me as a friend. Looking at the situation just now... you and that Buddy, aren't you already broken up?"

Lin Wanxing looked back in the direction Zhang Wenhai left, her eyes dimming a bit, and shook her head: "Not officially broken up yet. He's actually..."

She paused, seeming not to want to talk more about Zhang Wenhai, and instead looked at Ye Cheng, tentatively asking: "Is this... your girlfriend?"

Ye Cheng immediately let out a light "hmph" from her nose.

Looking at the other woman's figure and appearance, combined with the "1000 yuan" and "reverse stalking" incident she just heard, she was already prepared to hear ridiculous titles like "little sister," "classmate," "ordinary friend," or even "long-lost sister-in-law," but didn't expect... Jiang Ye actually shamelessly nodded, saying affirmatively:

"Yes, girlfriend, Ye Cheng."

Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat, feeling tickled as if by a small feather, but also sweet.

But immediately after, her alarm bells rang loudly:

Wrong!

This guy is acting strange, not even caring about the "new prey," trying so hard to get me to a hotel, and now admitting so straightforwardly that I'm his girlfriend... Could his target tonight have been me from the start?!

Not even caring about the Girl he wants to pick up, just coming for me? Really that desperate?

Lin Wanxing looked at Ye Cheng in surprise but found that the Girl's face didn't show the anger, rage, or jealousy she expected. Instead, it was a complex expression of "holy crap!" "it's over!" "oh no!" as if facing a great enemy.

She shook her head speechlessly, guessing to herself: Probably a little Girl completely brainwashed by this scumbag, how pitiful.

Thinking of her own utterly disappointing first love, Lin Wanxing suddenly felt a sense of "fellow sufferers in a harsh world" and thought it necessary to let the Girl in front of her see this man's true colors.

She smiled, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear: "This... isn't it inappropriate? Adding another Girl's WeChat right in front of your girlfriend?"

Jiang Ye didn't blush or panic, calmly saying: "Everyone has a love for beauty. Cheng Cheng is generous, she'll understand."

Lin Wanxing looked at Ye Cheng again and found the Girl still had no intense reaction, becoming even more surprised.

Not even angry about this? How brainwashed must she be?

Such a pretty Girl, what's the point? It can't be that bad, right?
