Chapter 175: Chapter 161 He Likes Girls Like This
Jialihua Chain Hotel.
Chen Cheng hasn’t been to such a budget hotel for a long time, at least not since he graduated from college.
The simple rooms obviously can’t compare to the luxury and extravagance of the Waldorf or Bulgari, but they evoke the tender feeling of student days.
But what Liu Zhiya offered him was a passion as explosive as a volcanic eruption.
Ever since their encounter at Huashan Golf, Chen Cheng never had in-depth conversations with her again.
As soon as she entered the door, Liu Zhiya couldn’t wait to wrap her arms around Chen Cheng, kissing his cheeks and lips.
Under her passionate assault, Chen Cheng reciprocated.
"I missed you so much."
Liu Zhiya murmured, "Thinking of you every moment."
Chen Cheng patted her butt and said, "I’ve been too busy recently, haven’t been able to accompany you properly."
Liu Zhiya started to unbutton Chen Cheng’s shirt while saying, "I’ve been focusing on studying lately. I also want to win a scholarship."
"Then I’ll have to check your homework."
Chen Cheng carried Liu Zhiya onto the bed, beginning to get intimate with her.
Liu Zhiya giggled and dodged, her eyes filled with anticipation and flirtation, "Hey, you have to keep your word, not just check my ’homework’, but also look at my actual achievement."
Amused by her demeanor, Chen Cheng gave a light laugh and gently wrapped his arms around her waist, "Alright, then I will wait and see how hard my little treasure has worked."
In the room, the atmosphere between the two grew hotter as Liu Zhiya clung to Chen Cheng, feeling the intimacy and warmth she had missed for a long time, her heart brimming with happiness and contentment.
Fifty minutes later.
Liu Zhiya lay in Chen Cheng’s arms, "Can you have dinner with me tonight?"
Chen Cheng sat up, "Not tonight, I have promised someone else."
A flash of disappointment crossed Liu Zhiya’s eyes, but she quickly forced a smile, "Okay, then you go ahead with your things."
Chen Cheng got dressed and headed to the bathroom, "Be good, I will accompany you when I’m free."
Liu Zhiya’s tears finally fell silently the moment Chen Cheng walked into the bathroom.
She hugged the pillow tight, muttering to herself, "It’s always like this... am I really worse than my sister?"
Shortly afterward, Chen Cheng came out of the bathroom.
He saw the tear traces at the corner of Liu Zhiya’s eyes, walked to the bedside, and tenderly stroked her hair.
"Did you cry?"
Liu Zhiya sniffled and looked up at Chen Cheng, "Brother Cheng, I know you’re busy, I will wait for you patiently."
"You’re still upset, even the way you address me has changed."
Liu Zhiya shook her head.
"Let’s do it tomorrow," Chen Cheng spoke slowly, "I’ll pick you up, and we’ll go for something delicious."
"Really?" A gleam of surprise instantly lit up Liu Zhiya’s eyes, dispelling the gloom.
Chen Cheng nodded and smiled, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Liu Zhiya broke into a smile, hugging Chen Cheng tightly, "Then I’ll wait for your call tomorrow."
"There you go, get changed, I’ll drop you back at school."
"Okay!"
After leaving the hotel, Chen Cheng dropped Liu Zhiya at the school gate.
As she was about to get out of the car, Liu Zhiya clung onto Chen Cheng’s arm, "I am going in then."
Chen Cheng nodded, "Go ahead."
Reluctantly letting go, Liu Zhiya got out of the car and took reluctant steps into the campus.
At this moment, Su Liya, who had just finished her classes, also saw the luxury car at the school gate.
Her eyes lit up immediately, just about to rush over when she saw Liu Zhiya stepping out of the car.
Su Liya froze, her brows furrowed, thinking to herself: "Is she Uncle’s..."
She remembered Wen Shulin once mentioned that Chen Cheng had other women.
Su Liya initially thought it was Xiao Meier from Wanbao Hall, but now it seemed there were others.
"Li Ya, didn’t your family’s maid come to pick you up today?" Zhou Dan asked curiously.
Watching Liu Zhiya’s tall figure, Su Liya asked, "Dan Dan, is she from our school?"
Zhou Dan followed the direction of Su Liya’s pointing, Liu Zhiya’s impressive physique was recognizable even from the back.
"That’s Sister Xiao Ya, a renowned figure in our Communication University," Zhou Dan said.
She added, "She’s a model and was voted as the school’s top beauty."
Su Liya felt a jolt in her heart. No wonder that figure seemed so outstanding.
Her gaze turned towards the departing luxury car, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"What’s wrong, Li Ya?" Zhou Dan asked, noticing her distant gaze.
"Nothing, just asking casually," replied Su Liya with a forced smile.
Shrugging, Zhou Dan said, "Okay. If your maid isn’t coming, do you want me to wait with you?"
"No need, Dan Dan, you go and have your meal. I will just wait here a bit longer," said Su Liya.
"Alright then, take care of yourself, see you tomorrow," Zhou Dan nodded.
"Byebye~"
Su Liya stood alone at the school gate, the image of Liu Zhiya getting down from Chen Cheng’s car replaying in her mind, her lips progressively pouting.
After a while, the family car arrived.
Mrs. Shen got out of the MPV to open the door for Su Liya, "Miss, there was a traffic jam today."
Su Liya made no response, simply diving into the vehicle.
She took out her phone, looking at Chen Cheng’s WeChat message, the red exclamation mark still hadn’t disappeared.
"Why won’t Uncle add me?"
...
...
Back at home, Su Liya locked herself in her room.
She lay on her bed, searching for Liu Zhiya’s information online.
Quickly, she found Liu Zhiya’s social media account.
Looking at Liu Zhiya’s shared beautiful pictures and life snippets, Su Liya felt increasingly uneasy.
"She is really beautiful..."
Su Liya muttered to herself, watching Liu Zhiya’s youthfully animated and adorably pleasant appearance, suddenly sat up straight.
She remembered the tenderness and consideration of Xiao Meier, as well as observing the current state of Liu Zhiya, and concluded in her heart, "Could it be that he likes this type of girl?"
With that thought, Su Liya rolled out of bed, opened her wardrobe.
But inside were all spicy girl outfits; she flipped through each piece of clothing in the wardrobe and tossed them onto the bed, yet she could not find a single item that matched the "obedient" image in her mind.
"No, I have to buy something new." Su Liya bit her lip, resolutely determined.
She quickly changed clothes and left the house.
"Miss, the meal will be ready soon, are you going out?" Mrs. Shen asked when she saw her hurrying.
"I’m thinking of buying a few clothes."
Mrs. Shen wiped her hands on the apron, "Madam has said..."
"My mommy didn’t stop me from shopping." Su Liya responded.
"Then I’ll accompany you, is that okay?"
Su Liya didn’t answer, nor did she refuse; she opened the door and went out.
Mrs. Shen hurriedly followed, fearful that in the next second, the young miss would vanish without a trace.
Arriving at the mall, Su Liya shopped from one store to another, meticulously selecting those clothes that looked sweet and cute.
After trying on one after another, she eventually chose a dress and was pleased to put it on.
The long dress hem covered her usually exposed long legs, with only a pair of white cotton socks visible outside.
Her brown hair was tied into pigtails, the fluffy skirt made her look like a doll.
She looked into the mirror, a smile on her face, imagining how Chen Cheng would react upon seeing her.
"Uncle would probably like this outfit," she thought to herself.
It was the first time that Mrs. Shen saw Su Liya dressed so conservatively, a complete departure from her usual style.
"Miss, you look really nice in this, it’s very different from usual," Mrs. Shen couldn’t help but praise.
Su Liya smiled faintly, "Really? Mrs. Shen."
"Of course, it’s true, miss," Mrs. Shen nodded her head.
"Then do I look good in this?"
"Miss is the most beautiful."
Su Liya took a deep breath, "Then this one it is."
She paid for it herself, and Mrs. Shen went on to say, "If madam sees your transformation, she would be very happy."
Su Liya handed over her phone, "Take a picture for me and send it to mommy."
"Alright, miss."
Soon, the photo was sent to Wen Shulin.
Su Liya asked with a sweet voice, "Mommy, I bought a new piece of clothing, what do you think?"
Wen Shulin replied to the message promptly: "Baby, it’s very beautiful and suits you well."
Su Liya saw the response and felt elated.
"Miss, shall we go back home for dinner?"
Su Liya thought for a moment, "Mrs. Shen, I feel like eating red bean paste from Wanbao Hall, let’s go together."
"Alright."
The two got back into the car and drove straight to Big Willow Tree.
On the way there, Su Liya was very excited.
Besides the thought of meeting Chen Cheng, getting Wen Shulin’s approval was even more important.
"Mommy thinks I’m beautiful, uncle definitely will too!"
With that thought, a smile crept onto her lips.
The MPV quickly arrived at Wanbao Hall.
Su Liya was quite familiar with the place.
As soon as the car stopped, she couldn’t wait to run inside.
But upon a glance, she did not see Chen Cheng’s figure, nor did she see Xiao Meier.
Zhao Ling had a deep impression of her; seeing her looking around, she approached with a smile, "Miss, hello. Would you like to dine?"
"Is Chen Cheng not here?"
Zhao Ling was taken aback and responded, "The boss isn’t in the store at the moment."
Su Liya’s eyes dimmed a bit, "Then where did he go? Can you help me get in touch?"
"I’m sorry, miss."
Su Liya pursed her lips, "What about Sister Xiao Er?"
"Xiao Er has gone home."
"Gone home?" A light returned to Su Liya’s eyes, "Alright, thank you."
She dashed out quickly, running towards Fennel Noodle House not far away.
Su Liya ran up to the noodle house panting, only to find the door tightly shut, no sign of the shop sign, just a deep imprint.
"How could this be?" She frowned in confusion.
Mrs. Shen finally caught up, "Miss, don’t run so fast, be careful not to fall."
Su Liya looked forlorn, "Aren’t they living right here?"
Mrs. Shen came up to look and said, "Miss, perhaps this shop closed down."
Su Liya shook her head, "Impossible, it was fine before."
She took out her phone again, looking at Chen Cheng’s WeChat.
But for her without a friend status, she simply couldn’t make a voice call.
"What is going on?" Su Liya’s voice carried a hint of urgency.
Mrs. Shen consoled, "Don’t worry, miss, maybe you’ll find out after a while. Didn’t you want to eat red bean paste? I’ll go pack it for you."
Su Liya shook her head, "I don’t want to eat anymore, I don’t feel like it."
She tugged at her dress and walked towards the parking lot, "I’m hungry."
Mrs. Shen hurried to follow and they returned to the car.
Along the way back, Su Liya was silent, just looking out of the window, her eyes full of confusion and loss.
Once home, Su Liya had little appetite. She ate a few mouthfuls of food and then locked herself in her room again.
Sensing something was wrong, Mrs. Shen sent a message to Wen Shulin: "Madam, the young miss seems to be out of sorts again."
Wen Shulin: "I’m on the flight tonight, we’ll talk when I get home."
