After Trying To Pursue The Cold, Elegant Beauty. I Ended Up Being Flirted With Instead - Chapter 31

I feel very insecure.

The afternoon sun carried the warmth of the south.

Wen Zhu and Li Zhiyun took Jiao Jiao and Di Di out.

Di Di excitedly trotted ahead, its tail wagging happily.

“Aunt Wen Zhu.” Jiao Jiao suddenly stopped and looked up at her, “Did that woman this morning treat you badly?”

Wen Zhu paused, “How did you know?”

Jiao Jiao extended her small hand and stroked Di Di’s furry head, “I just saw it. Although I’m a child, don’t truly think of me as one.”

She huffed like a little adult, “She was very fierce to you then, I saw it all from the corner. If you ever get bullied by such a bad woman again, come find me!”

Although she didn’t like this woman who was snatching her little aunt, she didn’t want others to bully Wen Zhu either!

Wen Zhu chuckled, finding Jiao Jiao even more adorable, “Alright, alright. Our Jiao Jiao isn’t a child; I’ll have to rely on Jiao Jiao to protect me in the future.”

The weather was a bit stuffy. Li Zhiyun returned from a nearby bubble tea shop with two drinks.

A cup of Ovaltine was handed to Wen Zhu.

Wen Zhu took the cup and subconsciously looked at Jiao Jiao.

The incident from last time was still fresh in her mind.

Jiao Jiao, as expected, pouted her small mouth.

But she didn’t say much, just let out a cold snort, tugged on Di Di’s leash, and ran ahead.

Li Zhiyun noticed Wen Zhu’s action and smiled, “Don’t worry, Jiao Jiao doesn’t get angry that easily.”

The two adults, one child, and one Shiba Inu walked towards the antique market.

Tongcheng wasn’t a top-tier prosperous metropolis, but it had the largest antique trading market in the south.

If lucky, one could find some good things here.

Various stalls were set up along the street in the market, bustling with people coming and going.

Wen Zhu was quite interested in these old artifacts, especially chessboards.

She carefully browsed several stalls.

The vendors enthusiastically hawked jade, wood carvings, and old paintings and calligraphy.

But she didn’t see a chessboard she liked.

“Jiao Jiao, what kind of chessboard do you usually use to play chess?” Wen Zhu asked casually.

Jiao Jiao was sipping her Ovaltine in small sips. Hearing the question, she glanced at Wen Zhu, “Are you going to buy me a chessboard?”

She pursed her lips, “I would never use a chessboard from here. My chessboards are custom-made”

Before she could finish, Li Zhiyun raised her hand and gently covered her mouth with a napkin, “Drink properly. It’s dripping onto your clothes. Be careful, or your mother will scold you.”

Jiao Jiao looked down and saw that her collar was indeed a little dirty. She obediently let Li Zhiyun wipe it, and in the blink of an eye, she forgot what she was about to say.

Although Wen Zhu felt something was odd, she didn’t ask further.

The group continued to browse.

Suddenly, a man wearing sunglasses and dressed fashionably rushed out.

His gaze swept through the crowd, then fixed on Li Zhiyun.

The man’s eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward and swiftly handed over a business card:

“Miss! I’m a talent scout for Starry Sky Entertainment. The industry usually calls me Brother Lin. With your looks, have you considered entering the entertainment industry?”

Li Zhiyun didn’t even take the card, “No.”

Her voice was cold, carrying a jade-like clarity.

After speaking, she took Wen Zhu’s hand and intended to bypass the man.

As they passed a stall, there was a bracelet displayed on it.

The bracelet was made of jadeite, with a transparent luster and meticulous carving.

Li Zhiyun took a few extra glances and was about to reach out to examine it.

The man who called himself Brother Lin followed them again.

He moved even faster, directly snatching the jadeite bracelet from near Li Zhiyun’s hand.

The bracelet dangled between his fingers.

“Believe me, little sister!” Brother Lin held up the bracelet, leaning close to Li Zhiyun, his tone urgent, “You’re so beautiful and have such a unique temperament. If you enter the industry, you’ll definitely become an explosive top star!”

“As long as you’re willing to sign with me, I can guarantee you the best contract!”

“When you make big money, you can buy as many bracelets like this one as you want!”

As soon as he said this, the stall owner next to them immediately became unhappy. He glared at Brother Lin and angrily shouted, “Pah! What do you mean ‘bracelets like this one’? This is my family’s heirloom treasure! Top-grade jadeite! It would go for at least two million per piece at an auction house!”

“Why don’t you buy a few pieces and show me!”

Li Zhiyun’s expression imperceptibly darkened.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify a bit.

Jiao Jiao keenly sensed her little aunt’s change in mood.

She quietly retreated half a step, holding Di Di tightly.

The little girl looked at the man surnamed Lin, her eyes showing a trace of sympathy.

Does he not know how many bodyguards follow her and her little aunt every day…

As soon as her little aunt is displeased, those bodyguards hiding in the crowd will immediately rush out.

And then they’ll throw this oblivious man into the nearby moat to feed the fish!

Wen Zhu also mentally lit a candle for the man.

Forget about a two million dollar bracelet.

Even if she was worth tens of billions now, she wouldn’t dare utter such boastful words in front of the second miss of the Li family.

Brother Lin was clearly unaware of the danger.

He was currently spitting excitedly while arguing with the stall owner: “You old man are heartless! How dare you sell this broken chain for two million? I think twenty thousand is too much!”

“You wait, I’m calling people right now to report you for fraud!”

He was in the middle of his tirade.

Li Zhiyun suddenly moved.

She stretched out her arm, loosely encircling Wen Zhu beside her.

Wen Zhu hadn’t even reacted yet.

Li Zhiyun turned her head and looked at the still chattering Brother Lin, her tone calm and steady: “Sorry. I just managed to catch my girlfriend. I feel very insecure.”

“If I entered the entertainment industry, what would I do if the girlfriend I worked so hard to pursue ran away?”

Li Zhiyun looked helpless, tilting her head slightly, and gestured for Brother Lin to look at Wen Zhu.

“Why don’t you ask her?”

At this, not only Brother Lin, but Wen Zhu also froze in place.

Wait.

What was Li Zhiyun saying…

Who did she just say felt insecure?
