Chapter 452: A Fun-Lover?

Su Tao's face was ashen as she stared at the milk tea in front of her, remaining silent.

The atmosphere around her and Luo Ying was visibly becoming oppressive.

Many things weren't carefully considered, or the thought of doubting them never occurred, and even if they did, nothing seemed amiss.

But once a strong subjective consciousness was introduced, thoughts subtly began to change.

Not to mention, Su Tao was unaware that the will of the world was also watching her, unable to interfere with her thoughts, but capable of manipulating her emotions.

Luo Ying's eyes also showed concern as she asked, "Su Tao, are you alright? Actually, all of this is just speculation. Even though Chi Xiaocheng is currently dating Dongfang Yang... uh, hanging out with him, it doesn't necessarily mean she's really cheating."

Su Tao heavily closed her eyes.

She took a breath.

Opening her eyes, she seemed to have regained her composure, "Luo Ying, don't worry, I'm fine. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. After all, we haven't investigated thoroughly yet. I'll ask about the situation later, thank you."

"It's nothing, you treat me like a friend, of course I'm on your side." Luo Ying smiled and nodded, giving Su Tao a firm and reassuring look.

Su Tao had lost her appetite for the milk tea.

She picked up her phone and dialed Si Chen's number. "Luo Ying, could you please ask Xiaocheng for me again after you get back to the dorm?"

"Okay."

Seeing Luo Ying agree, and Si Chen answering the phone, Su Tao apologized and got up to walk towards the door.

As she left, she glanced at the silent figure at the coffee shop.

Luo Ying remained seated, turning to watch Su Tao's desolate figure disappear. She bit the straw and took a light sip, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

After she left, someone suddenly sat down in the seat Su Tao had vacated.

"Luo Ying, why did you lie to Su Tao? Chi Xiaocheng told you, didn't she? She's just helping Dongfang Yang find a fake girlfriend, not becoming one herself."

Luo Ying turned to the girl sitting across from her. "Chen Shiling, what are you doing here?"

Chen Shiling raised the two cups of milk tea she was holding. "I lost a one-on-one battle with my sister and was forced to buy milk tea. I just finished paying when I overheard you talking about this. I've been squatting next to you, eating my popcorn."

Luo Ying rolled her eyes at Chen Shiling. "Eavesdropping isn't a good habit."

"That's why I revealed myself."

Chen Shiling smiled playfully, then looked towards the coffee shop.

After Su Tao had completely left.

Dongfang Yang and Chi Xiaocheng also walked out of the coffee shop together, accompanied by Qian Qing.

The three of them seemed to have come to an agreement.

Dongfang Yang and Qian Qing both seemed a little uneasy, standing on either side of Chi Xiaocheng, who was in the middle looking accomplished, as if she had completed something extraordinary.

Chen Shiling's eyes darted back and forth. "So, why are you lying to Su Tao like this? If this misunderstanding isn't cleared up, it might cause a rift in their relationship."

Luo Ying adjusted her glasses, the pure and sweet aura she projected earlier completely gone, a dark smile curving her lips. "Shiling, don't you think this is kind of funny?"

"Funny how..." Chen Shiling's mouth twitched. "Your twisted sense of humor hasn't diminished at all."

Luo Ying raised a finger and pushed up her glasses, clearing her throat and returning to her sweet and approachable demeanor. "Anyway, Shiling, you can't tell Chi Xiaocheng or Su Tao, okay? Just pretend you don't know anything. I want to see how they react."

"I've realized that Su Tao has possessiveness hidden deep down. She's even a little extreme. If she finds out Chi Xiaocheng cheated, what will she do?"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing that."

A flicker of coldness flashed across her eyes, and Luo Ying added, "Also, mention it to your sister. Don't let anything slip."

Chen Shiling sighed helplessly. "Yes, yes, my Lady Luo Ying."

Luo Ying: "Stop being so cheeky."

"Ehehe!"

...

Time passed, and under Chi Xiaocheng's urging, Qian Qing reluctantly agreed to Dongfang Yang's request.

Qian Qing, who always had a mature air, even unfazed by the sight of blood all over the bathroom floor while mopping it up, had become uncharacteristically nervous and timid.

To be Dongfang Yang's fake girlfriend!

This was equivalent to standing in front of countless families, announcing to countless people who wanted to cozy up to Dongfang Yang that she, Qian Qing, had already captured the heart of this young master of the capital.

The nervousness in her heart stemmed from countless pressures.

On the other hand, it was also one of the bargaining chips Chi Xiaocheng used to persuade Qian Qing.

She actually had a secret crush on Dongfang Yang.

As for the young master, he was treating Qian Qing as his fake girlfriend.

Anyway, they were childhood friends, familiar with each other. Holding hands, putting arms around her waist, practicing dances face-to-face, all came naturally to him.

In the past two days, Chi Xiaocheng had reaped a lot of emotional value from Dongfang Yang and Qian Qing, making her daily tasks extremely enjoyable.

But people's joys and sorrows were not the same.

Su Tao met with Si Chen and sought out Jiang Nan and Luo Ying as consultants to further understand the state glasses.

But the only answer she got was Si Chen's extremely calm statement.

"The data from those glasses is 100% accurate."

Although he also had to consider Chi Xiaocheng's situation, Su Tao had already seen the glasses, and Chi Xiaocheng hadn't given any further instructions about them.

Si Chen had no choice, and after thinking about it, he decided to insist that the data from the glasses was real.

This was top-notch black technology jointly produced by various families in the capital!

Of course, another reason was that Si Chen felt that if he said the values from the glasses were fake, Su Tao would kill him.

Saying "Never Love Orange" was useless.

Seeing that Su Tao still disliked him, Si Chen was puzzled at first, wondering why she was still unhappy with him even though she would "Never Love Orange."

After a little analysis, he realized that Su Tao didn't trust the glasses and thought he was deliberately stirring up trouble.

Si Chen was speechless, only sighing repeatedly.

Su Tao's suspicion of him didn't decrease, and his identity as a spy was obviously no longer useful.

And the result of this was that Su Tao seemed to somewhat believe in the state glasses.

But the trust built up over a long period of time couldn't be completely shattered by a misunderstanding.

Su Tao still believed in Chi Xiaocheng, still thinking that this was likely a misunderstanding.

If she couldn't ask directly, what could she do?

Su Tao thought of Jiang Nan's method.

Find someone to send the post from the news department to Xiaocheng.

Then, wait for Xiaocheng to take the initiative to come to her!

Wednesday night, when Su Tao sent out her request, she quickly received a reply from Luo Ying, "OK, leave it to me, I'll test Xiaocheng!"
