The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 117

Chapter 117

“It’s a beautiful bracelet. I really like it.”

Jiang Zhouzhou looked at the jade bracelet in the box, pressed her lips together, and said softly, “But… it feels too expensive.”

Even though she knew nothing about jade, she could still read one word from it.

Pricey!

Seeing Jiang Zhouzhou’s reaction, Yin Yue smiled faintly. “The value of an object is something people give it. If you like it, it has value. If you don’t, it’s worthless.”

Just like the person in front of him. If he liked her… then he was willing to spend both thought and money on her.

In a businessman’s eyes, it was like an investment.

Even if it failed, there was nothing to regret. The marketplace was like a battlefield, filled with ever-changing risks to begin with.

Yin Yue picked up the jade bracelet, and with his other hand, he naturally took Jiang Zhouzhou’s left hand.

“I’ll put it on for you and see if it fits.”

Her hand was very fair, slender, and long, yet soft and pleasantly fleshy to the touch. The clean, translucent jade bracelet on her wrist made her skin look even fairer.

After putting the bracelet on her, Yin Yue’s gaze fell on her ring finger.

That spot was empty too. He really wanted to put something there as well.

“It fits perfectly, and it suits you very well.”

A bracelet was different from a chain bracelet. If it was too small, it was hard to put on; if it was too big, it would easily slip off.

When he watched her livestreams, he had carefully observed her wrist. After thinking it over for a long time, he had finally decided to give her a jade bracelet.

“Jade needs to be nurtured. Don’t take it off casually.”

He let go of Jiang Zhouzhou’s hand, a faint warmth still lingering in his palm.

Jiang Zhouzhou nodded. “Mm-hmm. Since Brother Yin Yue gave it to me, I won’t even take it off when I sleep.”

She innocently thought he was merely telling her how to wear jade, unaware that the reason he gave her jewelry was like a male in nature marking a female, leaving a trace on her body that belonged only to him.

For the rest of the meal, the two of them got along very pleasantly. As Jiang Zhouzhou gradually relaxed, the smile on her face appeared more and more often.

When the meal was nearly over, Jiang Zhouzhou asked curiously, “How long will Brother Yin Yue be staying in Haishi?”

Yin Yue replied, “Three days. I’m here to do some preliminary inspection first. If the later cooperation needs follow-up, I may have to come often.”

Haishi was a place on the mainland where every inch of land was worth gold. If he wanted a piece of the pie here, he would have to put in a great deal of effort at the early stage.

Just thinking of that difficult business partner made his head ache.

“I still have a meeting with the partner this afternoon. I’ll take you back first in a bit.”

Knowing he would be busy that afternoon, Jiang Zhouzhou didn’t want to take up his time, so she waved her hand and said, “There’s no need. I can just take a taxi back by myself.”

To her surprise, the gentle man in front of her suddenly became firm, his tone leaving no room for refusal. “No. What if you run into trouble again? Only by taking you back myself will I feel a little more at ease.”

Since he put it that way, Jiang Zhouzhou could only agree. “Okay. Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Yin Yue.”

She lowered her head, secretly hiding the faint blush spreading across her face.

With Yin Yue, Jiang Zhouzhou discovered that certain parts of his aura were very similar to Gu Nanfeng’s.

They both liked to guide things with a sense of dominance, making it impossible for people to refuse, yet not making them feel annoyed either.

And these two men… both seemed oddly fixated on taking her home themselves!

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Zhouzhou was thinking of using an app to call a ride, but a black business van had already stopped at the entrance.

Yin Yue opened the rear door for her and reminded her to get in. “Let’s go!”

Seeing her pause in surprise, he explained, “I’ve been going around a lot these two days. The business partner arranged a driver for me. Might as well use him since he’s here.”

Jiang Zhouzhou put her phone back into her bag and said with a bright smile, “Then I should thank your business partner for saving me twenty yuan in taxi fare.”
Yin Yue smiled too. “Mm. When I see him, I’ll pass that along for you.”

Jiang Zhouzhou: “…”

After they got into the car, Yin Yue sat down beside her. Jiang Zhouzhou, her face flushed, told the driver the name of her residential complex.

Their route gradually led them away from the bustling city center. As the buildings around them grew older and more run-down, Yin Yue frowned slightly. “You live here?”

Jiang Zhouzhou gave a soft hum of acknowledgment. “I couldn’t find a job before. This complex is a bit out of the way, but it’s cheaper. But I’m planning to move soon. The Guild contacted me and said they’ve arranged an apartment for me, asking if I wanted to move in. I haven’t decided yet.”

Yin Yue fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the car instantly quieted.

A moment later, he said slowly, “How about… I buy you a place?”

Jiang Zhouzhou froze. Then, belatedly, shock spread across her face. Her bright eyes widened as if she’d been badly frightened.

“No, no, no… I don’t need that. Don’t buy a house. I really don’t need one…”

Her heart was pounding wildly, and even her words turned incoherent.

Only heaven knew how badly Yin Yue’s words had scared her!

Even with eight figures sitting in her bank account, she still didn’t dare buy a house in Haishi.

And yet the man in front of her just said it like it was nothing!

What was worse, Jiang Zhouzhou knew perfectly well that he absolutely wasn’t joking.

Seeing Jiang Zhouzhou’s reaction, Yin Yue realized his concern had gotten the better of him and that he’d scared her.

“Mm. Still, living here really isn’t safe. Once you find a new place, tell me. I’ll see if I have time to help you move.”

Since he stopped mentioning buying a house, Jiang Zhouzhou quickly nodded like a pecking chick. “Mm-hmm. I’ll go take a look at the apartment the Guild arranged first.”

After all, it was a benefit provided by the Guild for free. If the apartment’s environment was good, she could save some money too.

Haishi housing prices were expensive, and rent wasn’t cheap either.

After dropping Jiang Zhouzhou off downstairs at her residential complex, Yin Yue looked at the young woman who was about to leave, a trace of reluctance flashing through his eyes.

“Go on up.”

He really wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of scaring her again.

Jiang Zhouzhou waved at him and smiled sweetly. “Then goodbye, Brother Cockroach!”

The moment the words left her mouth, she hurriedly covered it.

Oh no. She’d blurted it out!

Hearing that familiar form of address, Yin Yue couldn’t help curling his lips.

“Mm. See you next time.”

Jiang Zhouzhou glanced back a few times on her way up. Seeing that Yin Yue had already left, she returned home and pressed a hand over her heart.

Her violently pounding heart finally began to calm a little.

Although they’d only spent a short time together, she had still sensed it…

Brother Cockroach seemed to have other thoughts about her.

But for her, before meeting Brother Cockroach in person, all she’d felt toward him was gratitude. She had never thought of him romantically.

It was just…

She didn’t dislike him getting closer to her!

“Forget it. I shouldn’t think about this anymore.”

If he didn’t say it clearly, then she would act slow and deliberately pretend she didn’t understand anything!

After playing with little Tangyuan for a bit, Jiang Zhouzhou opened a can of cat food for it, then went to change out of her clothes and take a shower.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Nanfeng listened as his assistant reported the morning itinerary of their business partner.

The assistant said, “Mr. Yin went to a restaurant with a girl this morning.”

After hearing that, Gu Nanfeng gave a dismissive snort. “He’s quite the player.”

He had only just arrived in Haishi and was already thinking about dating women. No wonder he was so difficult to deal with. So it turned out he was a lecher!
