Jiang Cheng's familiar way of warming her hands made her eyelids twitch involuntarily.
Seeing Si Nian staring at him with wide eyes.
Jiang Cheng's expression didn't panic at all; he looked back at Si Nian without flinching.
After all, the person in front of him was Si Nian, not Si Qing whom he met yesterday.
He could fully exploit the information gap between the two to stir things up, using it to get closer to Si Nian.
Although Jiang Cheng felt the two would probably talk to each other.
But it wasn't seen with one's own eyes.
Unless these twins didn't just have the same faces, but their thoughts were also synchronized.
Otherwise, how could one be sure who was lying?
Looking at Si Nian's expression and micro-movements, it was clear that the person she suspected first wasn't Jiang Cheng.
Because from her facial expression and psychological thoughts, she didn't feel any disgust or suspicion towards Jiang's behavior.
It was more shock and confusion.
At this moment, a strange feeling indeed welled up in Si Nian's heart.
She tried to find a flaw in his eyes but found his gaze firm and sincere.
After the two stared at each other for a while, Si Nian was eventually the first to look away.
Her face flushed slightly as she said, "It really is cold today."
Seeing Si Nian about to pull her hand back, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and looked at her with a confused face, asking, "What's wrong? You've become so shy after not seeing each other for a day? Your hands are always so cold, you should wear more."
Hearing this, Si Nian secretly cursed Si Qing in her heart.
What did that mean?
Did it mean Si Qing was very open in front of Jiang Cheng?
Although Jiang Cheng had known her earlier, for the real her, she and Jiang Cheng had only spent a few hours together.
That was the first time they met when Jiang Cheng helped her out of a situation.
At that time, Jiang Cheng had also held her hand, but it was only for a few brief seconds...
The next three meetings were all Si Qing pretending to be her on dates with Jiang Cheng.
She didn't expect that with Si Qing using her name, the relationship between her and Jiang Cheng had actually progressed to this point.
For a moment, Si Nian didn't know whether she should pull her hand back.
Feeling Jiang Cheng's well-defined, thick hand covering her palm, Si Nian's heart couldn't help but thud. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes dodged his, not daring to look directly at him.
Si Nian: "favorability value +5!"
Unable to withstand the sensation of Jiang Cheng's rubbing, Si Nian somewhat unnaturally pulled her hand back.
She bit her lip lightly and said, "I'll just put them in my pocket to warm up, it really is quite cold today..."
Seeing that Si Nian's favorability value had finally gone up by five points, the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up, and he didn't mind her withdrawing her hand.
Originally, Si Nian's favorability value towards him had stayed at 70 points.
After all, there wasn't much actual interaction between the two.
He didn't expect that just holding her hand would increase it by five points.
Feelings really are developed through contact.
Seeing Jiang Cheng take out his phone seemingly to reply to a message, Si Nian took the opportunity to immediately send a message to Si Qing.
Si Nian: "Be honest, to what extent have you two developed??"
Si Qing was clearly on her phone; in less than two seconds, a message was sent back quickly.
Si Qing: "Big sister, it's you, not me, okay??"
As twins, Si Nian knew Si Qing very well.
Growing up, people often mistook them for each other. Although they sometimes swapped identities as a joke, they would never let the other suffer a loss.
Letting Jiang Cheng hold her hand meant Si Qing herself might not have been able to resist.
Si Nian: "Acting?? Keep acting??"
Si Qing: "No way?? What do you mean? So what exactly did you two do??"
Si Nian: "Didn't you say we'd definitely win because we're twins?? I don't see you winning at all."
Si Qing: "What on earth are you talking about?? I don't understand??"
Not arguing with Si Qing any further, Si Nian turned to look at Jiang Cheng and asked with eyes full of expectation, "Big Boss, can we go eat at Food Street??"
Seeing Si Nian say this, Jiang Cheng spoke somewhat apologetically, "Can we go there for lunch tomorrow? A dinner party suddenly came up; shall we go together?"
If an ordinary guy said this on a date, a girl might get sulky, feeling he didn't care about her or put her first.
However, for a Big Boss with a status like Jiang Cheng's.
When ordinary girls heard this, they usually had two different reactions.
One was feeling excited and happy, and the other was worrying about whether they would cause him trouble.
Si Nian immediately thought of the scene of the first time she met Jiang Cheng and mooched a meal; he was eating with a Second-generation rich person then.
But fortunately, they were just classmates, so she wasn't particularly timid.
But according to what Si Qing said, when she ran into Jiang Cheng last time.
He ended up eating at the mall with the son of Zhou Dafu.
If she were to meet these people of status, then she... A dinner party joined by a Second-generation rich person like him probably wouldn't be an ordinary one, right?
Although she felt like retreating, being brought along to such an occasion.
This showed that Jiang Cheng didn't look down on her at all; instead, he valued her very much.
"Can I go??" Si Nian blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Cheng with a face full of doubt.
"Why not?? It's just a few ordinary friends. They're all people I usually hang out with. After eating, they'll probably go to the next venue, but I won't. Just eat and drink as you like, and I'll take you away after we're done."
Hearing Jiang Cheng say they were ordinary friends, Si Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she said teasingly, "So, why aren't you going to the next venue??"
Looking at Jiang Cheng, it didn't seem like he had just suddenly found out about this gathering.
So he could have just notified her on wechat to reschedule, there was no need to bring her along.
She asked this just to know Jiang Cheng's specific thoughts.
Facing Si Nian's direct gaze, Jiang Cheng replied without blushing or his heart skipping a beat, "Why would I go to the next venue when I can be with you??"
Without suspense, this sentence combined with those few seconds of eye contact made Si Nian lose immediately.
Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
That playful face was once again silently covered with a flush of red.
Turning her head toward the window nervously, she hummed softly, "You sure know how to use me as a shield~~".
Ten minutes later, the rolls-royce began to arrive at The Bund.
It was currently lunchtime.
Traffic along The Bund was heavy.
The area around the Peace Hotel was already filled with various luxury cars.
Although most were for commercial photoshoots.
But because of that, traffic was even more congested.
The car stopped near the corner of the entrance.
Jiang Cheng looked out and saw a black Highlander blocking the way.
After waiting for nearly a minute, Wang Sheng got out of the car and jogged over to check the situation.
While Jiang Cheng and Si Nian were chatting, a few knocks were heard on the window on his side.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw a man standing by his window.
Looking closely, the person was actually Shen Chong... Thanks to the Big Bosses [Shushu Laila] and [Xuanxuanxuanxuan 0323] for the Update Charms!
