"???"
Song Xi was confused. By the time she came to her senses, Jin Ying was already swaying her slender waist towards Lou Yuming.
Only when Jin Ying's hand rested on Lou Yuming's chest did Song Xi suddenly understand what she had meant.
She snorted proudly, full of confidence. Jin Ying was beautiful, but Lou Yuming wasn't someone easily swayed.
She continued playing as if nothing had happened, but even she didn't realize that her attention had been unconsciously diverted.
"Mr. Lou, you play so well, could you teach me?"
Jin Ying knew how to be coy, her boneless hands tracing along the man's superior shoulder line. Any ordinary man would have fallen for it by now.
But Lou Yuming's expression darkened. Jin Ying, quick-witted, sensing his impending anger, quickly whispered, "I can help you and Song Xi reconcile."
Lou Yuming's brow furrowed. Jin Ying hastily added, "I'm a woman, and I understand women's hearts best. Trust me." kuAiδugg
Cough—
Ahead, Song Xi suddenly covered her mouth and coughed.
Lou Yuming looked up. Their eyes met, and Song Xi guiltily averted her gaze.
He raised an eyebrow, his thin lips parted, and he asked directly, "What do you want?"
...
Aren't these two getting a bit too close!
Song Xi stared at the two intimate figures ahead, disbelieving.
Lou Yuming actually didn't push Jin Ying away, this was simply unrealistic!
She lost interest in playing, clutching the club in her hand, rubbing it up and down—a habitual gesture when she was anxious.
Yao Yifan watched silently from the side and asked, "Miss Song, are you still playing?"
Song Xi heard nothing, her soul already captivated.
Jin Ying and Lou Yuming were chatting animatedly, but it was unclear what they were saying. Their voices were so low, as if they were whispering secrets.
Song Xi strained her ears to listen, but at several meters away, she couldn't hear anything.
"...Oh, really? Then I'll try?"
Jin Ying beamed with joy and reached for the club in Lou Yuming's hand.
"Use this one."
Lou Yuming subtly dodged and gave her a new club.
Jin Ying's mouth twitched, and she reminded him in a low voice, "Mr. Lou, if we're acting, we have to go all the way."
Lou Yuming replied sternly, "I don't like others touching my things."
"Didn't Song Xi touch it earlier too?"
After asking this, Jin Ying regretted it.
Was Song Xi considered 'others'?
As expected, Lou Yuming's gaze at her turned a bit cold.
Jin Ying quickly changed the subject, picked up the club, and walked to the tee. "Let's play!"
What, was Lou Yuming going to personally teach her to play?
Song Xi pursed her lips, a hint of displeasure appearing on her beautiful face.
"Oh dear, this is so difficult."
Jin Ying deliberately pretended to be clumsy and coquettish, having already forgotten who had invited Song Xi to play earlier.
This was clearly a lie, yet Lou Yuming actually believed it!
He walked behind Jin Ying and taught her using the same stance he had used to teach Song Xi.
Song Xi was furious, almost jumping up. She clenched her jaw.
But in reality, Lou Yuming didn't even touch Jin Ying.
The two cooperated seamlessly. From Song Xi's perspective, the scene was too impactful.
"Wow! Mr. Lou, you're amazing!"
The ball was hit. It was Jin Ying who hit it herself, but she had to pretend it was the result of Lou Yuming's teaching.
She secretly glanced at Song Xi, only to find her eyes filled with hostility.
Jin Ying's mouth twitched. Why did she feel like Song Xi was about to devour her?
After playing, Jin Ying proactively invited Lou Yuming.
"Mr. Lou, would you like to go to dinner together?"
Lou Yuming glanced at Song Xi, who angrily turned her head away, refusing to make eye contact with him.
Lou Yuming didn't know why she was angry, but he vaguely felt that Jin Ying's tactic didn't seem to be working. She seemed to dislike him even more than before.
Jin Ying said, "Then I'll take that as a yes."
Then she walked up to Song Xi, pretended not to see her icy expression, and deliberately said, "Song Xi, come with us for dinner."
