Corey smiled. “sister-in-law, you don’t believe me. You think Steven Song’s a nice guy, right?”
“Actually, Corey is right. Steven Song isn’t as harmless as he looks. Inwardly, he’s quite a sordid person.” Ying Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, her heart surging with hidden emotions.
Rosiley raised her eyebrows. “Xiaoxiao, you had an unhappy relationship with him. Your words are subjective, and they are not very credible.”
“However… ” She saw Xiaoxiao’s expression suddenly change and that she was about to blow up, so she made a U-turn. “I can’t judge a person’s goodness or badness from a first impression. It’s too subjective.”
“sister-in-law, if you’re interested, I can show you Steven Song’s file.” After all, words alone were not convincing. They must be backed by evidence.
“Sure.” Rosiley nodded. “That way, I can understand what Xiaoxiao’s ex-boyfriend is like.”
“Am I right, Xiaoxiao?” She looked at Ying Xiaoxiao with a winsome, interested smile.
“Suit yourself.” Ying Xiaoxiao lifted her coffee cup from the table and took a sip, a despondent look on her face.
“In that case, Corey, send the information to my email.” Rosiley saw that she had no objections.
Corey nodded. “Sure, I’ll send the file when I get back.”
Rosiley smiled, raised her cup of coffee, and brought it to her lips. Then, she took a sip, looking thoughtfully at Ying Xiaoxiao all the while.
Was Steven Song really the kind of person they claimed that he was?
Scheming, sordid, and committing illegal acts?
As the night fell, resplendent lights were turned on. The dazzling neon lights adorned the entire city, making it look even more bustling and vibrant.
A silver-gray Maybach was driving steadily on the road. Rosiley was in the front passenger seat, turning her head sideways, looking outside the window. Rays of light shone through the car window onto her small, charming face, illuminating it bright and dark by turns.
While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Sachin turned to his side and gazed at the dazed Rosiley with a smile in his eyes. His thin lips parted softly. “Rosiley… ”
When she heard his voice, her gaze shifted. She turned to him and met his smiling, black eyes. His red lips were curling slightly. “Why did you stop?”
“Red light.” He reached out to push the hair on her cheek behind her ear. Then, he asked softly, “What are you thinking about, looking so serious?”
“Make a guess!” She smiled cheekily.
“Um… ” Sachin pondered very seriously.
Then he said, “About what you want for supper tonight?”
Rosiley pretended to be displeased and pouted. “You mean, in your eyes, I only think such silly thoughts?”
Sachin gave a light chuckle and raised his hand, pinching her nose indulgently. “Then tell me what interesting thing you were thinking about.”
Rosiley pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “I was thinking about that American research center you were telling me about.”
“What about it?”
“Well… ”
Rosiley was about to speak, when an ear-piercing horn blared out from behind their car.
Sachin turned around and found the traffic light had turned green.
“You can tell me slowly when we reach the restaurant.”
He revved the engine amidst the harsh blares of car horns and drove towards the restaurant.
