Chapter 95: Freshly Made Couple Outfits
In this round, Ye Ziming clearly had the upper hand, and Lin Muqing had no way to fight back.
But at the crucial moment, Lin Muqing used her special skill. The "Cute Act to Get Away With It" Technique!
From after class until they left the classroom, they knew that Zhang Suxin had been secretly watching them, but they pretended not to notice. However, just before leaving the school, to stop her from following them, Ye Ziming glanced at her twice.
Those two looks were very clear. They meant he had already noticed Zhang Suxin and knew she was watching him. Once this person was dealt with, Lin Muqing could finally go home and change clothes peacefully.
"What is it, boss?"
After changing into the outfit her good buddy bought for her and coming back to the first floor, Lin Muqing noticed that he was staring at her. His gaze was kind of weird, like he was sizing her up from head to toe… which felt a bit creepy.
"It’s nothing, let’s go."
When he heard her voice, Ye Ziming quickly looked away and turned to walk toward where Uncle Liu was waiting. Just now, as he looked her up and down, his conclusion was no matter how he looked at her, she just looked like a cute girl.
And he also noticed something, Lin Muqing wasn’t wearing that strange jade pendant.
So now the question was should he break the disguise himself, or wait for Lin Muqing to do it?
As he thought about it, his eyes became full of hidden meaning, and a weird smile appeared on his face. Then, while sitting in the car, he quietly observed Lin Muqing.
"Emmm…"
After getting in the car, Lin Muqing started to feel something strange, like someone was secretly watching her. When she turned to look at her good buddy, she saw that he was just casually playing on his phone with a normal expression. She then looked at Uncle Liu, who was focused on driving and hadn’t glanced at her once.
Just like that, they arrived at the cafe. It wasn’t until she entered the break room that the weird feeling finally went away.
"Good afternoon, sisters!"
She casually closed the door and greeted the maid sisters in front of her, then turned and headed to the changing room. What made her feel a little helpless was that even though she wasn’t working today and was just here to learn makeup, she still had to wear her uniform.
She remembered that last night, Sister Yu held her by the shoulders and seriously said, ‘Wearing your uniform to work is an attitude, you understand!?’
Back then, Lin Muqing was full of question marks and really wanted to shake her head and say, “I don’t understand.” But facing Sister Yu’s pressure and authority, she could only weakly nod, and then was dragged to the changing room to change.
"Sister Yu, what are we learning today?"
After changing clothes and walking out of the changing room, she happened to see Sister Yu coming in from outside. She walked over and asked with a smile.
"The plan has changed, we’re going to learn a different way today."
"Ohhh."
Originally, Lin Muqing was supposed to learn basic skills today.
But since she was going on a date with the cafe manager this weekend, Sister Yu decided to take the chance to teach her something new.
So next up was Sister Yu’s private lesson for Lin Muqing.
While she was still learning, over in the office, Ye Ziming had already finished his work and was now sitting in his office chair playing on his phone.
[Ye Mengze: Little brother, I heard you're going on a date this weekend, is it true?]
[Ye Ziming: Fake.]
Seeing the message from his older sister, Ye Ziming frowned a little and replied with just one word, fake.
He wasn’t surprised by this at all, since he knew Ye Mengze and Sister Yu used to be classmates and were now best friends.
[Ye Mengze: Aiya, I spent several days making a set of couple outfits. Do you want it?]
[Ye Ziming: Yes.]
His reaction was very fast. The moment he saw the message, he replied right away.
The thing he had agreed to last week, Ye Ziming had always kept it in mind. Now that he finally received a message about it, of course he wouldn’t miss the chance.
Just earlier, when he was standing downstairs at Lin Muqing’s apartment, he was thinking about what he should wear when they go out this weekend. What he wanted was an outfit that would make people immediately think he and Lin Muqing were a couple.
So this couple outfit was the perfect choice.
[Ye Mengze: Hehe, I’m not going to give this to you for free, you know~]
[Ye Ziming: What’s the condition?]
Knowing his sister well, he didn’t waste time guessing or playing around. He just went straight to the point.
They chatted a little more, and actually, the condition wasn’t too hard.
Ye Mengze just wanted Lin Muqing to be her model, try on the clothes she made and take some pictures.
[Ye Ziming: She might not agree.]
Thinking about Lin Muqing’s feelings, Ye Ziming didn’t immediately say yes.
But what surprised him was that his sister quickly replied.
[Ye Mengze: Don’t worry, I won’t make her uncomfortable or force her to do anything. After all, she is your girlfriend ❤️]
That message came with a bunch of goofy emoji faces.
Reading that, Ye Ziming frowned again and stared at his phone with a complicated expression. He had a strong feeling that Sister Yu might’ve told his sister about someone being a little money-hungry. He didn’t have any proof, but that’s just how he felt.
[Ye Ziming: I have to be there.]
He didn’t feel completely at ease about his sister “borrowing” Lin Muqing like that. He was genuinely worried something unexpected might happen. So, he had a condition too, he had to be there. This was to protect Lin Muqing.
It definitely wasn’t because he wanted to see her wearing all kinds of pretty clothes.
Nope. Not at all.
After the chat with his sister ended, there was a knock at the office door. Then, Sister Yu pushed it open.
“Manager, your package has arrived.”
With a sly smile, Sister Yu came in carrying two bags and placed them on his desk.
After saying that, she gave him a meaningful smile… then turned around and walked out of the office.
Ye Ziming stared at the door with a strange expression.
Those two bags on his desk. No matter how he looked at them, they didn’t look like any kind of real package. There wasn’t even a shipping label!
He quickly figured out that these must be the couple outfits his sister mentioned. And yep, that was exactly it. Sister Yu was just the delivery person.
One bag held the guy’s outfit, the other held the girl’s. When the time came, he just had to give the girl’s set to Lin Muqing, and keep the guy’s set for himself.
He glanced at the time and guessed Lin Muqing was probably eating dinner, maybe just about done.
Just as he was about to stand up and check on her in the break room, Lin Muqing arrived right outside the office.
Then the door was pushed open with a burst of energy. First came her cheerful voice, and then her bright, cute self appeared.
“Boss, are you done with work yet?”
“Yeah, I’m done.”
