Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 354: Some people are really angry.

Chapter 354: Some people are really angry.

Mr. Lu stayed at Shuguang Garden that night.

Originally, his plan was to spend a while with the counselor before going to find Guan Yongyi to give out his last Christmas gift.

But Guan Yongyi didn’t pay him any attention at all.

Guan Guan was busy.

Busy confirming something very important.

...

The day after the holiday, Guan Yongyi mentioned wanting to get a new manicure, so she took the initiative to ask her best girlfriend out.

The law student had just finished her two afternoon classes and agreed to meet Zhou Sinin near the teaching building.

"What’s with you? Why are you always giving me those weird looks?"

Zhou Sinin always felt that Guan Guan was acting a bit strange today.

The girl with her usual tidy short hair, for some reason, was full of small, uncharacteristic gestures.

Either her shoelaces were untied, she was twisting her ankle, or she was adjusting her coat buttons.

In short, she was not walking in line with her, not linking arms and walking together as usual.

So strange!

"Ah? No, maybe you just dressed up prettier today."

Guan Yongyi blinked her eyes, pursed her lips, and quickened her pace to catch up.

That was a close one.

Just now, she had been sneakily watching her bestie’s way of walking for quite some time but didn’t find anything out.

Last night on Zhihu, Guan Yongyi read related questions for most of the night, believing she had gained expertise, with a keen eye and a firm grip.

But in person, she was still completely clueless.

Whether it was Zhou Sinin’s stride length, pace, the twist of her waist, or the healthy glow on her face, every detail seemed...

Indiscernible.

Ahhhh!

Why am I still so clueless?

Guan Yongyi was disheartened.

Had he made a move on her bestie or not?

Did he keep his gentlemanly conduct or not?

Did something happen or not?

She simply couldn’t tell.

But Zhou Sinin had just lied to her the day before, saying she went back to her dorm to rest early, which eliminated the necessity of asking directly.

She couldn’t ask.

She could only ponder the details.

Re-linking arms with her bestie, the two continued on cheerfully until Zhou Sinin pulled Guan Yongyi over to the parking lot nearby.

Her smile once again solidified on her cheeks.

"Guan Guan, look! The Christmas gift he gave me!"

Zhou Sinin pointed at the brand-new white sports sedan, with shallow dimples and a brimming smile.

The short-haired girl next to her paused for several seconds, glancing at the well-known trident logo, then lifted her chin to look at the bright-eyed and white-toothed Zhou Sinin.

"It’s not like... sisters..."

Guan Yongyi’s throat went dry involuntarily, squeezing out a faint smile, striving to keep her voice steady.

"Lu Jincheng, this guy, he really is willing to splurge for you, huh..."

"Hehe, who knows about him, I even said I didn’t want it, but he insisted."

Zhou Sinin’s lips were tightly pursed, she too strived to maintain an air of nonchalance, restraining her smile so as not to seem too blatant.

For the first time, she felt that the leading lady in feel-good stories showing off her love had real-life prototypes!

This was actually pretty interesting!

The explosively popular and capable male lead, acting like a silly love-struck fool in front of her, lavishly throwing out a million bucks for a Christmas gift, inducing envy in others.

Isn’t this its own kind of feel-good story?

Of course, Zhou Sinin had always been a girl who understood the art of keeping things low-key.

The only person worthy of standing by her side to admire her blissful life was her best friend, Guan Yongyi.

She wouldn’t reveal the reason Mr. Lu gave her the car in such clear detail.

It lacked the thrill that way.

"..."

After all, Guan Yongyi came from a well-off family and had seen the world; she quickly composed herself and kept her subtle feelings deeply hidden.

She sat in the passenger seat, buckled up, and casually chatted with Zhou Sinin as the driver slowly pulled away.

"Sisi, isn’t it a bit improper to accept such an expensive gift from someone?"

"For average couples, of course, it’s not great, but our relationship is a bit different from others, so it’s not that bad."

Hearing her best friend’s question, Zhou Sinin’s delicate peach blossom eyes curved into crescents as she gently and patiently explained.

"What’s different about you two?"

Guan Yongyi immediately pressed on.

"Because he has a card with me, I help him manage his money."

Zhou Sinin was earnestly driving, but her tone, emperor-like as though she was governing the Eastern Palace, was grating to anyone else, particularly jarring to Guan Yongyi.

Her heart felt overturned by the careless words of her best friend, and she was extremely uncomfortable.

The short-haired girl bit her lip and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

"This... he handed over his salary to you just like that?"

"Hahaha, well, men, of course, but I didn’t take the initiative to ask for it from him, he must be more conscientious about it."

Zhou Sinin’s laughter filled the car; her eyes were fixed on the road, completely engrossed in her happiness.

She didn’t pick up on the discordant note in Guan Yongyi’s voice and continued to speak.

"You see, for an ordinary couple, accepting such an expensive gift definitely wouldn’t be good, but I feel, between us, we don’t have to worry about these things."

"At worst, when I have money in the future, I’ll buy him something of a similar value!"

"Wow... that’s really nice."

Guan Yongyi pretended to adjust her seat, secretly clenching her fists out of sight, fingernails digging into her palms.

...

The two friends went for new manicures, had a grand meal, and upon Guan Yongyi’s insistence, also went to a boutique to buy two new pieces of clothing.

A series of observations and probes seemed to confirm to the short-haired girl that Zhou Sinin and Lu Jincheng had not taken the final step the previous night.

Her best friend walked briskly, energetically; the fiery red marks reflected in the fitting room’s lights.

"Oh my God! Sisi, how did you get this?"

Buying clothes was Guan Yongyi’s final probe.

Indeed, even though Zhou Sinin was extremely bright, she hadn’t considered that her best friend’s insistence on clothes shopping was underlain by other motives.

Like sneaking into her fitting room.

A kiss mark was faintly visible on Zhou Sinin’s chest, her naturally pale skin made it incredibly distinct under the light.

"This... this looks like it was bitten by an insect in the dorm."

If not for Guan Yongyi’s keen eyes, even Zhou Sinin herself might not have noticed.

She hastily made up an excuse to brush it off.

"I’ll bring you some bug repellent, you really should be more careful."

Guan Yongyi mentally flipped a thousand middle fingers and rolled her eyes.

Do you really think I’m some idiot who’s never been kissed, never touched a man, and knows nothing?

Those who have experienced it know that a kiss mark has a very distinctive characteristic, which is that it has especially dark little spots.

A kiss mark indicates that subcutaneous capillaries are broken due to negative pressure or squeezing, causing blood to seep out without reaching the skin’s surface.

Especially a kiss mark that just formed the day before is probably instantly recognizable to anyone who’s been there.

Case closed.

Maybe they hadn’t slept together, but oh, so sweet, so sweet.

Guan Yongyi was seething with anger.
