Chapter 785 - Chu Xia, Who Was Dressed Up As Tang Jing

Chapter 785: Chu Xia, Who Was Dressed Up As Tang Jing

Apart from her attire, Chu Xia’s makeup that day was also slightly off.

Most of the time, Chu Xia would put on nude makeup. Then, occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she would put on some light makeup.

What is nude makeup? It’s just a thin layer of foundation, sunblock, and a slight adjustment to the eyebrows, which practically means no makeup.

This was also the style that Chu Xia had always lived by, feeling refreshed.

After all, she was naturally beautiful to begin with, plus she was 18 or 19 years old at the time, which was the prime age for girls. Hence, she was already perfectly beautiful, even able to be classified as a perfect work of art, so there was no need for any “processing”.

However, at that moment, she had surprisingly put on thick make-up. Combined with her mature outfit, she looked like she had aged seven or eight years. Furthermore, her aura was completely different from before.

In terms of being pretty or not, Chu Xia would definitely be pretty. However, the style she had at that moment didn’t make her look like herself anymore. Instead, she looks like...

At that moment, when Su Yang saw her, Images of women and celebrities flashed through his mind before he locked onto Tang Jing.

‘Hold on? Chu Xia’s style today actually resembles Tang Jing?’

At that thought, Su Yang scratched his head in confusion. He stopped the car beside Chu Xia and opened the door before he got out of the car to greet Chu Xia, “Good evening, Ms. Group Secretary.”

Chu Xia turned around and looked at him with a sad and beautiful smile. Then, she nodded at Su Yang. “Good evening, Su Yang.”

Thus, Su Yang was rendered speechless.

‘What the heck! Why is she becoming more and more like Tang Jing!

‘Have I travelled in time? Or have Chu Xia and Tang Jing exchanged bodies?’

With doubts in his heart, Su Yang waved at Chu Xia. “Come on, get in the car first and let’s talk more.”

Su Yang walked to the front passenger seat and opened the door for Chu Xia.

Chu Xia sat in the car gently, and Su Yang closed the door in confusion before returning to the driver’s seat.

Then, the car started and Su Yang drove towards the restaurant he had made a reservation at.

Even without his [Eye of Origins], Su Yang could sense that something was wrong with Chu Xia. On the way, he tried to probe her as he drove. “Your... Makeup and clothes seem different from before.”

Chu Xia didn’t answer directly. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Do you like it?”

[Eye of Origins] judged it as. [Anticipation], [Conflict], [Worry]...

Su Yang was speechless.

‘What complicated emotions.’

Although the [Eye of Origins] showed Chu Xia’s anticipation and concern towards Su Yang’s reply... Under normal circumstances, Su Yang should be praising Chu Xia’s makeup. However, for some reason, Su Yang felt that... He did not like the Chu Xia he saw that day.

Therefore, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. “Chu Xia, I don’t like your mature look.”

Chu Xia looked a little startled. “You don’t like it?”

Su Yang nodded.

Chu Xia asked curiously, “But, don’t you like mature women?”

[Eye of Origins] judged it as. [Confused]...

Hence, Su Yang was left confused as he drove.

‘Since when have I liked mature women?’

Then, he glanced at Chu Xia and frowned. “I’ve always liked girls who look refreshing, not mature ones.”

This time, it was Chu Xia’s turn to be confused.

Hence, an awkward atmosphere filled the car.

As the car moved, both of them had different thoughts.

Su Yang was a little puzzled. ‘I have no idea why Chu Xia would think that way, nor do I know if I’ve accidentally hinted at Chu Xia previously. After all, the only word that could be associated with “maturity” is “voluptuous”.’

At that thought, he could not help but feel guilty. ‘Could it be that I’ve accidentally laid eyes on a mature woman’s...? And Chu Xia misunderstood me because of it?’

At the thought of this, Su Yang stole a glance at Chu Xia’s breasts. ‘Hmm... It’s still completely flat.’

Su Yang felt as if it would be sinful if Chu Xia’s breasts were a little bigger.

On the other hand, Chu Xia looked confused.

In fact, the past few days had been tough for her. After asking around about Su Yang and Tang Jing, Chu Xia felt a strong sense of danger and insecurity.

On one hand, it made her depressed. On the other hand, it made her want to “take back” Su Yang’s heart. Or rather, she wanted to be more compatible with Su Yang’s preference in women.

As such, Chu Xia had carefully studied the type of woman Su Yang liked.

She took a closer look at the girls around Su Yang, including his secretary, Pan Zhaodi, his unclear relationship with Tang Jing, Xu Lu, her senior, Han Yi, the A-list, and Lin Jiali, the C-list celebrity.

Thus, the conclusion Chu Xia drew was... They were all the mature types!

After that, she started to ponder. ‘With Su Yang’s current status, he would need a female companion to attend press conferences, banquets, and ribbon-cutting events with.

So, if Su Yang is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his female companion would have to wear formal attire as well.

‘For a little girl like me, especially with my refreshing style... I definitely can’t pair up with him...

‘It’s just like on the day the glass phones were released, many people actually thought that I was one of the staff members...;

At the thought of this, Chu Xia felt ashamed.

Hence... After researching for a long time, Chu Xia felt that from that day onwards, she would be a mature woman! A woman who could be by Su Yang’s side and be a good match to him so that he could maintain his reputation!

Thus... That explains Chu Xia’s getup that day.

Of course, while she was doing her makeup, Chu Xia could not help but place herself in the shoes of her potential rival, Tang Jing. Therefore, Chu Xia could not stop herself from mimicking some of the details with Tang Jing in mind.

However, in the car, Su Yang suddenly revealed that he did not like mature women.

Thus, Chu Xia was instantly embarrassed.

‘Su Yang doesn’t like mature women? Then, why are there so many mature women around him?’

Hence, with one feeling guilty, while the other confused, the car fell silent.

Shortly after, Su Yang brought Chu Xia to the restaurant he had made a reservation at, the Earl Atlee.

The Earl Atlee was a famous restaurant in Shanghai, well-known for their Michelin-starred food, and the beautiful skyview.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Su Yang and Chu Xia were led by a waiter to the balcony on the top floor, which was the most expensive spot in the entire restaurant, known as Shanghai’s most beautiful dinner spot with a skyview.

In fact, Su Yang had booked the entire floor.

After lighting up the candles, the waiter poured water for both of them and left the balcony to wait outside the glass door until Su Yang called upon him.

In fact, there was no need for Su Yang to order the dishes as they were all custom-made by restaurants. Hence, for someone like Su Yang, who had a horrifying time at making choices, found that place to be extremely comfortable.

At that moment, Su Yang and Chu Xia sat facing each other and could see into each other’s eyes. Then, the atmosphere gradually quieted down.

Chu Xia looked at Su Yang and the beautiful observatory platform in front of her. For the first time, she felt Su Yang’s sincerity towards her. Thus, the confusion in her heart and the sense of danger she felt earlier had dissipated.

Su Yang looked at Chu Xia and felt that Chu Xia was as beautiful as always. ‘Even though she’s dressed maturely today, it can’t hide her natural beauty.’

At that thought, Su Yang blurted out, “Chu Xia.”

“Huh?” Chu Xia snapped back to her senses like a frightened deer and looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang smiled. “You’re so beautiful.”

A beautiful pink color crept onto Chu Xia’s face. Under the contrast of her red dress, she looked as beautiful as the sunset.

The skyscrapers that reached more than 10 stories high, the spectacular glass observatory platform, the distant seawater, the bustling lights of Shanghai, the beauty in red, and the sunset glow on the horizon formed a beautiful picture.

Su Yang reached out his hand and held Chu Xia’s porcelain-like hand and caressed it gently before asking softly, “I feel that something’s not quite right with you recently. Is there something on your mind?”

Su Yang noticed her thoughts and Chu Xia panicked. “N... No.”

[Eye of Origins] judged it as. [Lying], [Panicking]...

Seeing this, Su Yang tilted his head and looked at Chu Xia’s face. However, he didn’t expose the girl’s thoughts but said softly, “Chu Xia, I’m your boyfriend, am I not?”

Chu Xia looked at Su Yang and nodded silently.

Su Yang said, “So, if there’s anything you can’t solve, you have to tell me. I’ll always be by your side.”

Chu Xia felt a little aggrieved as she listened to Su Yang’s passionate confession. She wanted to tell Su Yang everything that was on her mind, but she felt that it would be too direct and there was no way for her to salvage the situation.

Hence, she hesitated for a moment before retracting her hand from Su Yang’s grasp. She stood up and walked around Su Yang with her red dress before she turned to look at Su Yang. “Su Yang, am I beautiful today?”

Su Yang looked up at Chu Xia, who was as beautiful as a fairy. He nodded and shook his head. “You’re beautiful, but not as beautiful as usual.”

Chu Xia’s eyes were filled with joy. She stood still and asked, “Then... If it wasn’t me in front of you right now, but a mature girl, would you think she’s beautiful?”

Su Yang was speechless when he heard this.

‘What kind of f*cking question is this?!’

Su Yang rolled his eyes. “What would her being beautiful or not have to do with me?”

Chu Xia’s face was already smiling a little. “Well... If you had a choice... Would you choose a more mature woman, or would you choose a more... Well... Youthful one?”

Su Yang stood up and walked over to Chu Xia. He looked down at her and lifted Chu Xia’s chin with his hand as he said with a serious expression, “I won’t choose either. Instead, I’ll only choose you, because you’re my only one.”

After that, Su Yang kissed her.

When Su Yang walked up to Chu Xia and lifted her chin, Chu Xia’s heart was pounding like crazy and felt like she was going to die.

However, when Su Yang finished his passionate confession and kissed her, Chu Xia’s mind went blank.

Then, her eyes widened involuntarily, her beautiful eyelashes fluttered, and her body stiffened.

But very quickly, Su Yang’s gentleness melted her heart. Her body softened and she closed her beautiful eyes.

After a long while, their lips parted, but Su Yang gently pulled Chu Xia into his embrace and called her name softly, “Chu Xia.”

“Hmm...” Chu Xia was in Su Yang’s embrace. Her body was burning as she made that silent noise.

Su Yang then said, “I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Chu Xia, who was in Su Yang’s embrace, broke into a sweet smile when she heard Su Yang’s affectionate words. She was no longer worried about whether she would still win or lose at that moment.

However, being the cheeky girl that she was, she did not want to agree to Su Yang’s request. Hence, she rubbed her face against Su Yang’s and said proudly, “We’ll come back to this later. I haven’t thought about it yet.”

When Su Yang heard Chu Xia’s reply, he was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head to look at her and saw her sly expression.

Su Yang smiled. “Oh, I see... Then, If we can’t spend the rest of our life together, I’d make do with one night.”

Chu Xia’s expression froze when she heard this.

Then, a moment later...

“Su Yang! I’ll beat you to death!” Chu Xia angrily waved her fists and started chasing after Su Yang!

Su Yang laughed and ran away.

Thus, their laughter filled the observatory platform.

After their fight, the knot in their hearts was finally untied.

Su Yang returned to the table and sat down. After a while, all the dishes were served, so the couple chatted as they ate.

Su Yang asked, “Oh yeah, why were you in a bad mood these few days?”

Chu Xia took a sip of water, a little embarrassed, and then said, “Actually... It’s because I was on my period. Maybe it’s because I’m not feeling well, so I became a little frustrated and over-thought things.”

Su Yang nodded. ‘I suppose that’s understandable. After all, it was not strange for anything to happen when a girl is on her period.’ However, he still asked, “But, there should be a reason, shouldn’t there?”

Since the knot in her heart was gone, Chu Xia dared to say it. She pretended to be nonchalant as she cut the steak and said, “Because of Sister Tang Jing.”

“Tang Jing?” Su Yang was shocked. “Why?”

Chu Xia lowered her head and took a bite of her steak before saying, “It’s because I saw Sister Tang Jing that day and felt that she was especially beautiful and gentle, so I became so envious of her.”

“And...” Chu Xia whispered tentatively. “I have a feeling that she looked at you strangely as well.”

Su Yang laughed out loud. “You’re thinking too much.”

He explained, “I met Xiaomi a few days ago. Xiaomi also said that something’s wrong with Sister Jing. Xiaomi suspects that there’s someone she likes, but this all happened before she met us that day.

“Xiaomi also told me about Sister Jing’s strange behavior and the people she interacted with. In conclusion, Sister Jing must have fallen in love with someone from work.”

Chu Xia glanced at Su Yang. “But, you have a working relationship with her though.”

Su Yang smiled as he ate a mouthful of foie gras. “Actually, the two of us can only be considered to be partners. Furthermore, we’re working together to split the workload, where I will only make the decisions for important matters, while Sister Jing will handle everything else.

“That’s why we don’t even see each other, or even chat for that matter.”

Then, Su Yang jogged his memories. “Now that I think about it, we haven’t contacted each other for about a month.”

Hearing Su Yang’s words, Chu Xia’s heart finally settled. She smiled and raised her glass. “Right, let’s drink some water!”

Su Yang smiled and raised his glass as well. “Sure, let’s drink some water.”

In the end, the couple enjoyed their meal very much. In particular, there were no longer any grudges or misunderstandings between them, which made their relationship seem to have improved.

After dinner, Chu Xia looked at Su Yang and said that she had to go to the washroom.

Su Yang knew how troublesome girls were during their period every month, so he waved his hands casually.

After Chu Xia left, Su Yang took out his glass phone and was about to scroll TikTok to kill some time.

However, the moment he turned on TikTok, a call request appeared on his phone screen.

‘Who’s calling me so late at night?’

Su Yang looked at the screen curiously, which revealed to be Jiang Yan.

‘Jiang Yan?

‘Why is she looking for me?’

Puzzled, Su Yang answered the call.

Then, Jiang Yan’s voice came through the phone. “Su Yang, are you at Earl Atlee? I have a friend who saw you there. I have something urgent to discuss with you, so I’m coming to meet you now.”

Su Yang was confused when he heard this.

‘What?’
