13: Chapter 13 Cute, Pretty, and Well-Figured Younger Sister

"Jiang Che!"

At the end of the workday, just as Jiang Che walked out of the building, he was chased down by Luo Yao from behind.

"What's wrong? Did I forget to clock out?" Jiang Che asked with a smile, looking at Luo Yao, who was slightly out of breath from running.

"No, I was just wondering... are you free? I'd like to treat you to dinner." Luo Yao's fair face flushed slightly pink as she looked up at Jiang Che.

"I have a huge appetite," Jiang Che joked.

"I just got paid last week, I'm very rich right now!" Luo Yao waved her phone in front of Jiang Che, saying happily.

Jiang Che was amused by her adorable appearance and then said, "Alright then, there's a place around the corner. I've eaten there once and the food is quite good. Want to go together?"

"Okay." Luo Yao's lips curled up, and she nodded vigorously.

The two walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the restaurant Jiang Che had mentioned. The place wasn't very big, with only eight tables inside, but the environment was nice. At a glance, it looked clean and tidy, and it was quite crowded with diners.

"There!" Luo Yao pointed to the only remaining empty table inside and said hurriedly.

Jiang Che led Luo Yao over, and after they sat down, he pointed to a large menu on the wall. "What do you want to eat?"

Luo Yao looked at the dense text, her eyes blurring slightly. In the end, she simply turned her head to look at the owner: "Boss, what is the most expensive thing you have here?"

"The most expensive?" The owner was also taken aback by the question, then smiled and said, "Our shop's specialties are *** and **."

Luo Yao glanced at Jiang Che, "Then let's have one of each."

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Che again, "You order two more?"

"That's so much, can we finish it?"

"I'm afraid you won't be full," Luo Yao said earnestly.

Jiang Che smiled and looked at the owner, "Just add a soup, that will be enough."

After ordering, Luo Yao looked around the restaurant, and then looked at Jiang Che opposite her.

Seeing that she was a bit reserved, Jiang Che couldn't help but say, "Are you socially anxious?"

"Huh? No..."

"You look a bit nervous." Jiang Che poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Luo Yao.

"I... I just rarely eat with boys, so I'm a bit flustered."

"Rarely?"

"Yeah, this is the first time..."

Jiang Che found it both funny and helpless, "If I had known, I would have called Yang Fei and An Ran over, then you wouldn't be so nervous."

Hearing this, Luo Yao pouted, then hesitated, "Four people... I'd go bankrupt."

"Hmm?"

"My internship period hasn't ended yet. I got my salary, but it's not that much. I'll treat them once I become a full-time employee."

Looking at Luo Yao's straightforward and honest demeanor, Jiang Che was instantly amused and helpless.

"You specifically invited me to dinner today, is there something going on?"

Although this girl had been in the company for a while and he had helped her a few times, Jiang Che wasn't narcissistic enough to think that just because a girl invited him to dinner, she liked him.

Moreover, during the day at the company, Luo Yao had looked at him several times with a hesitant expression, clearly having something on her mind.

Sure enough, Luo Yao looked at Jiang Che, hesitated for a few seconds, and then nodded.

However, after nodding, she immediately raised her right hand as if taking an oath: "First declaration, I'm not borrowing money!"

"Go ahead."

Luo Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Doesn't our office have a poster of Su Su? I asked Sister An Ran today, and she said our company has opportunities to come into contact with some celebrities and influencers..."

"Do you want to take a photo with them?"

Luo Yao shook her head, then frowned slightly, saying embarrassedly, "Well, it's about the same... I want an autograph from Su Su."

"Are you a fan of hers?"

After hearing this, Luo Yao shook her head.

Now it was Jiang Che's turn to be confused. "No, why do you only want her autograph?"

"My dad likes her."

This one sentence caused Jiang Che, who was taking a sip of tea, to immediately choke and spit it out.

Fortunately, it wasn't directed at the girl, otherwise that would have been embarrassing.

After coughing several times and finally recovering, Jiang Che wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and asked in disbelief, "Your dad likes her?"

Luo Yao nodded with a serious face, and then, seemingly feeling that it wasn't sincere enough, added, "He likes her a lot."

Jiang Che was amused and helpless. He had seen plenty of people chasing celebrities, but this was his first time encountering someone chasing celebrities for their own father.

"Our company does come into contact with celebrities and influencers much more frequently than the average person, but as for our department, we don't deal with them directly."

"I know, but I heard that you have the best reputation in the company, and everyone likes you."

"So that's what this was all about?" Jiang Che said with a smile.

"Hehe, if it's convenient, next time there's a chance to see her, could you ask other colleagues in the company to help me get one signed?" Luo Yao leaned forward, hands clasped over her chest, looking at Jiang Che with anticipation.

"It's difficult..." Jiang Che said with a straight face, "But, it's not too bad. I'll ask for you next time."

"Thank you, Brother Che! Let's have a drink, I'll toast you!" Luo Yao's eyes smiled like crescent moons, and she immediately got up and walked towards the refrigerator.

Jiang Che was a bit surprised, thinking that this girl looked soft and weak, did she actually drink?

As it turned out, when he turned his head, he saw Luo Yao walking over with two bottles of AD Calcium Milk. Then, with a pop, she inserted the straws and handed one to him.

"The toast you mentioned, is it to drink this?"

"Yeah." Luo Yao said with a sincere face, "I don't drink alcohol."

Jiang Che was amused, then took it and clinked it with Luo Yao's.

Soon, the dishes arrived one after another. After tasting them, Luo Yao nodded repeatedly, saying that Jiang Che's recommendation was spot on, and this place was really quite delicious.

It was almost seven o'clock when Jiang Che's phone, which was placed in the corner of the table, suddenly rang.

He picked it up to take a look, and it was a message from Stinky Girl.

"You're not at home?"

Jiang Che was a bit surprised, "You're at home?"

This girl, shouldn't she be in the dormitory?

Soon, Jiang Ning's call came through. After telling Luo Yao, Jiang Che answered the phone.

"I was in a rush when I left this morning, so I didn't take my bedsheets and quilt to school, that's why I came back."

"Alright, then take them to the dormitory. Remember to lock the door."

Hearing that Jiang Che only gave such simple instructions, Jiang Ning was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Are you still working overtime?"

"No, I'm off work. I'm having dinner with a colleague."

"A colleague?"

"Yeah, Sister Luo Yao, you met her at the supermarket over the weekend."

On the phone, there was silence for a moment, then Jiang Ning let out a soft "Oh."

"By the way, have you had dinner? Do you want me to bring you some?"

"I haven't eaten, no need to bring any, I'm full." Jiang Ning said a few sentences in a flat tone, but it left Jiang Che feeling puzzled.

Not eaten, but full? What does that mean?

"Then you guys go ahead and eat, I'll wait for you to come back." Jiang Ning continued.

"No need to wait for me. Just go back to the dormitory after you're done packing."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning snorted, then muttered:

"It's late at night, and the school is pitch black. What if your cute, pretty, and well-proportioned little sister runs into human traffickers?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che was left speechless. Human traffickers are just human traffickers, what's the point of adding such a long string of modifiers in front of it?
