Yan Jian could only rub his forehead.
In the pastry chef’s worldview, the entire world should be like the sweet shop, always wafting with a sweet and soft aroma; unfortunately, this wish is just a dream bubble in front of soone like Ben Shaming.
Just like the large hollow inside a puff pastry, apart from the cream, it looks so big, but one bite causes it to collapse.
"Can I be rude to you?" Ben Shaming squinted, his 1.9-ter fra seeming to tilt toward Yan Jian: "Miss, what do you wish, or rather expect, for to be rude to you?"
Yan Yu was frightened, hurriedly stepping back, yet still mindful to correct: "Don’t call Miss; you should still call Young Lady."
Ben Shaming raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You’re so old and still not married?"
Yan Yu froze: "I’m, old?"
A 25-year-old woman, how could she be old?
Ben Shaming’s gaze swept up and down Yan Yu. Yan Yu was wearing a loose wool dress, cylindrical from top to bottom, in a deep cal color; paired with a deep gray wool coat, also loose-fitting. Her hair fell to her shoulders, with slight waves, but it appeared sowhat fluffy and aged.
In this fashion circle studio, Yan Yu’s aura indeed did not align with the cutting-edge aesthetic.
"Enough!" Yan Jian stepped forward to shield his third sister, coldly glaring at Ben Shaming: "Cutting-edge fashion is worn for others’ eyes, but only comfort is worn for oneself. Don’t use your eyes to demand from my third sister; she doesn’t know you, nor is she obliged to abandon her comfort to please your eyes!"
.
A good thing almost ended unhappily.
From the second floor, Catherine watched the scene, coldly curling her lips into a smile.
Suppressing his anger, Yan Jian went upstairs to ask for leave, then accompanied his third sister out.
The campus atmosphere was much better; though it was already winter, the cold wind on the large playground swirled and sent golden leaves to their feet, but the third sister evidently loved it, thereby relaxing.
Yan Jian tilted his head: "Sorry about that."
Yan Yu generously smiled: "Don’t say silly things. I’m not mad; I’m actually quite glad."
Yan Jian didn’t know, she wasn’t just here to deliver sweets and curry favor; she was here to observe the people around Yan Jian firsthand. If all she saw were nice gentlen nodding and smiling, then she’d have co for nothing.
She was here to discover people around Yan Jian who "grew thorns."
Ben Shaming was the first to et the criteria.
She ca today for the first ti, bringing hot and aromatic puff pastries and goodwill; logically speaking, that cold big guy had no reason to be so rude to her. The only explanation is... his hostility is directed at Yan Jian.
A guy with undisguisable hostility towards Yan Jian...
And according to Yan Jian, they had never had any interaction before.
This was a story waiting to be uncovered.
.
That night, after getting ho from work, she sneaked into her second aunt Su Xi Liu’s room, pulling out the phone album to show her.
All the photos she took were selfies with Yan Jian, using Yan Jian’s work environnt as the background.
In this day and age, this is quite normal.
It’s just that she adjusted angles countless tis, framing Ben Shaming "accidentally" into the photos.
Hearing the family’s kindest niece say she wanted help checking out a guy, Su Xi Liu laughed: "Why, our Yan Yu finally noticed there are n in the world more delightful than pastries?"
Yan Yu’s face turned crimson, but she took a deep breath and admitted it.
For now, she couldn’t let the second aunt beco suspicious; she only claid she had a fondness for Ben Shaming.
She couldn’t let her second sister handle this either, otherwise, with her second sister’s temperant, it would all be laid bare again.
As the police news officer, Su Xi Liu knew best not to misuse police power for private matters; it was just... her niece using such a reason still moved her. She agreed with a smile: "Alright, I’ll give it a try."
.
For the background check, Su Xi Liu first accessed the criminal database to see if the man had any criminal records.
Next, using the facial recognition system, she accessed other databases.
Ben Shaming entered M Country from France, so fortunately, both customs and airport databases had his images, which quickly restored Ben Shaming’s identity.
From official data, all Su Xi Liu could obtain was: Na - Ben Shaming, Occupation - Secretary at Fude Group...
As for his original identity, it was heavily concealed.
Su Xi Liu handed the information to Yan Yu. Yan Yu blushed, pleading with her aunt not to disclose it.
