After Trying To Pursue The Cold, Elegant Beauty. I Ended Up Being Flirted With Instead - Chapter 46.1

Only then did Wen Zhu realize.

The first-floor lobby was bustling with people, and many were already quietly looking their way, covering their mouths and discussing something in hushed tones.

Her face flushed “boom,” instantly turning bright red.

Wen Zhu practically sprung up from Li Zhiyun’s lap.

On the way back to the private room, she didn’t say a word, her mind a chaotic mess.

She couldn’t help but look down at her chest.

It wasn’t that small.

Many people used to compliment her figure.

Was it possible that she had been dressing too casually lately?

When she was with Pei Xiubai, she always had to maintain the professional image of a chief secretary, always wearing a blouse and a pencil skirt.

Now, following Li Zhiyun, she found her mindset more relaxed, and even her clothes became casual, often just a T-shirt and jeans…

No!

She needed to change her image!

Wen Zhu hadn’t brought many clothes to Anshi, but she did have a few outfits reserved for formal occasions.

The next day, when Li Zhiyun saw Wen Zhu walk out of the room, she froze in place.

Wen Zhu was wearing a well-tailored black dress today, outlining a perfectly proportioned waistline.

She had also specially curled her hair, the ends casually cascading over her shoulders.

She wore delicate, light makeup, with a touch of rose-red lipstick to brighten her complexion.

She was wearing a pair of stiletto heels.

It seemed like she was back to when they first reunited, when she was the chief secretary by Pei Xiubai’s side…

At that time, she always dressed impeccably like this.

But beneath the bright lipstick, her lips were often pale.

Wen Zhu noticed that even with the heels, she was still slightly shorter than Li Zhiyun.

She saw Li Zhiyun staring at her, lost in thought, and belatedly started to regret it.

Did she overdo it by dressing like this?

“What’s wrong?” She nervously touched her hair.

Li Zhiyun shook her head, her gaze moving away from Wen Zhu’s face, “Nothing, you look very beautiful.”

Then she asked, “Do you have something planned today?”

Wen Zhu was surprised, “No, aren’t we supposed to go to the club’s gathering?”

Last night, Zang Ying had specifically pulled her aside and told her to bring Li Zhiyun along.

Although she didn’t know why Sister Zang specifically told her to tell Li Zhiyun, it seemed as if Li Zhiyun would agree just because she was the one who said it.

Li Zhiyun nodded, simply said “Let’s go,” and walked ahead.

Wen Zhu followed, her heart a little unsettled.

She could sense that Li Zhiyun didn’t seem to like this outfit on her.

But the displeasure was so subtle…

It felt more like her imagination.

She didn’t ask further and followed.

The club’s gathering was at a detached villa in the mountains.

Zang Ying was generous and directly chartered a minibus.

As soon as they got on the bus, the team members’ eyes were instantly drawn to Wen Zhu.

Although they were going out to have fun, everyone had dressed up nicely, but Wen Zhu’s appearance today was truly stunning.

They knew Wen Zhu came with Li Zhiyun, were always polite to her, and knew she was pretty.

But before, Wen Zhu’s clothing was very casual, like a friendly older sister.

Today’s look completely captured the attention of several young team members.

A short-haired girl instinctively complimented her, “Sister Wen Zhu, you look so beautiful today! Like an immortal descended from heaven, oh my gosh, can we add your WeC…”

Before she could finish, her companion next to her nudged her with an elbow.

The person gave her a meaningful look, glancing towards Li Zhiyun in the back row.

The short-haired girl instantly realized and sheepishly fell silent.

Wen Zhu smiled and said thank you, then walked to the back row and sat down next to Li Zhiyun.

Throughout the ride, Li Zhiyun remained as quiet as before.

The teammates in front were very enthusiastic, chattering and chatting with Wen Zhu.

Wen Zhu looked at them, feeling like they were a group of younger sisters.

The bus quickly arrived at the villa.

The place was huge, with a clear blue swimming pool in the yard.

Everyone was excited as they got off the bus, scattering in groups of two or three.

Dinner was an outdoor barbecue.

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was lively.

Someone shouted, “The beef is gone.”

Wen Zhu immediately stood up, “I know where it is, I’ll go get it.”

As she stood up, her foot suddenly twisted.

She hadn’t worn high heels in a long time, and a sharp pain shot through her ankle. Her body uncontrollably pitched forward.

An arm timely wrapped around her waist, steadying her.

Li Zhiyun put the freshly grilled meat skewers from Wen Zhu’s hand onto the plate of the person next to her, then looked down at Wen Zhu.

“Can you walk?”

Wen Zhu was in so much pain that sweat was beading on her forehead and she shook her head.

The next second, Li Zhiyun scooped her up in a horizontal embrace.

A collective gasp instantly sounded from the surroundings.

Zang Ying was so surprised that she dropped the grilled sausage in her mouth.

She quickly snapped out of it, “There’s an ankle sprain ointment on the second floor!”

After the people left, she realized, damn, Zhishu told her to keep an eye on these two and inform her if anything happened, and she actually forgot to take a picture and send it over!

Li Zhiyun had already carried Wen Zhu to the living room. Hearing it was on the second floor, Wen Zhu said, “Put me down, I can walk by myself…”

But Li Zhiyun adjusted her hold, lifting her a little higher.

Wen Zhu was startled and instinctively wrapped her arms tighter around Li Zhiyun’s neck.

Li Zhiyun’s voice, tinged with a smile, reached her ear, “Don’t worry, I won’t drop you.”

Upstairs, Li Zhiyun placed Wen Zhu on the living room sofa.

She rummaged through a medicine cabinet by the TV, found the pain-relieving liniment, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Wen Zhu.

Wen Zhu wanted to say there was a small chair nearby, and she didn’t need to do that.

But Li Zhiyun had already reached out, taken off her high heels, and casually tossed them aside.

She held Wen Zhu’s ankle and gently rotated it.

“The bone should be fine, where does it hurt?”

Wen Zhu pointed to a spot on the outer side of her ankle.

“Here.”

Li Zhiyun poured the liniment into her palm, rubbed it to warm it up, and then placed her hand over Wen Zhu’s ankle, beginning to gently massage it.

She focused on the massage, her expression the same as when she played Go.

From Wen Zhu’s perspective looking down, she could clearly see Li Zhiyun’s thick, long eyelashes.

Her nose bridge was high, and the lines of her side profile were clean and sharp.

The warmth of the palm seemed to travel all the way to her heart.

The atmosphere on the second floor quieted down for a moment.

Every second spent with Li Zhiyun brought her an unprecedented peace of mind.

Wen Zhu glanced at the high heels and suddenly spoke.

“Are you unhappy with me dressing like this?”
