My online dating circle has millions of followers, why would she put a collar on me?

The camera pans back to the roadside, where Jiang Yi looks at Su Xiaoyue, who is standing by the roadside, pretending to glance at him.

He let out a long sigh.

Since Xia Anmian has already dumped him, he might as well be a little more intimate.

It's better to appease her than for her to act like she's going to die.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi took the initiative to hold Su Xiaoyue's hand.

"Xiaoyue, come quick! How do we get across?"

Su Xiaoyue's puffed-up face instantly lit up with joy. She hugged Jiang Yi's arm tightly, practically nestling half of herself in his embrace.

"The housekeeper will be here soon, let's drive there!"

After Su Xiaoyue finished speaking, she stopped talking and stared at Jiang Yi with her eyes crinkled.

People around them turned to look, their eyes filled with envy for Jiang Yi and Su Xiaoyue.

However, this envy made Jiang Yi very uncomfortable. He avoided looking at the passersby.

But when I looked down, I was met with Su Xiaoyue's eyes, which were filled with love.

For a moment, he had no idea where to look.

Fortunately, the familiar extended Lincoln arrived soon after.

"Honey, come with me!"

Su Xiaoyue used her uninjured wrist to pull Jiang Yi into the back seat.

As for Gu Qinghan who was following beside him.

Her feelings were complicated; she was unsure whether she should go along.

Because of Jiang Miaomiao's online deception, Gu Qinghan had no good impression of Jiang Yi at all.

If it weren't for Su Xiaoyue's excessive dependence on him, she would have really wanted to send both Jiang siblings to jail.

However, Su Xiaoyue was still extremely attached to him.

This made it impossible for her to harm Jiang Yi.

But she was also worried about leaving Jiang Yi and Su Xiaoyue alone together.

So she opened the passenger door and got in.

……

inside the car.

The rear seats of the extended Lincoln are so spacious they're like a small mobile living room, and the leather seats are so soft you can sink half your body into them.

The air conditioning was on full blast, and the car air freshener emitted a faint scent of gardenias, creating a completely different world from the disinfectant smell in the hospital.

Jiang Yi sat on the left, his body tense.

He had ridden in luxury cars before, but sitting in Su Xiaoyue's car just didn't feel quite right.

It's like stealing someone else's costume and wearing it—it just doesn't fit.

Su Xiaoyue lay sprawled on his lap, like a cat that had found its nest, her eyes half-closed in contentment.

She had just changed into a pale yellow floral dress, carefully chosen by Gu Qinghan. The hem of the dress flared out on both sides of Jiang Yi's knees, like a blooming flower.

Su Xiaoyue rested her chin on Jiang Yi's thigh, looking up at him with her eyes shining like stars.

From this angle, Jiang Yi's jawline was sharper than she remembered, and his Adam's apple was prominent, bobbing slightly as he swallowed.

Su Xiaoyue's fingers unconsciously drew circles on his knee, one after another, as if tracing some kind of pattern that only she herself knew.

Jiang Yi's body stiffened, and he could feel the skin on his thigh heating up at a visible rate.

He wanted to move Su Xiaoyue's head away, but he was afraid of touching the newly changed gauze on her wrist.

So his hand could only hang in mid-air before finally gently placing it on Su Xiaoyue's back.

"Xiaoyue." His voice was a little hoarse. "It's not convenient for you to talk like this."

"I don't want to say anything."

Su Xiaoyue's voice came from his thigh, muffled, with a hint of self-righteous laughter.

"I'm watching you."

Why are you looking at me?

"Because you're good-looking."

Jiang Yi's lips twitched.

He opened his mouth as if to say something to break the increasingly suffocating atmosphere, but swallowed the words back down.

He didn't know what to say.

In the end, he had no choice but to shut up.

In the passenger seat, Gu Qinghan adjusted the seat to an angle where he wouldn't hear any noise from the back seat, put his earphones in his ears, and turned the volume up to the maximum.

She didn't turn around, but even without turning around, she could roughly guess what the two people were doing.

She closed her eyes briefly, then looked back at her phone screen, which displayed her chat history with her lawyer. The last message was from Li Zhenghua.

"Ms. Gu, the materials have been prepared and will be submitted to the procuratorate tomorrow morning."

"Okay, the sooner the better!"

Gu Qinghan just wanted to get this done as soon as possible.

On the other hand, the chat avatar would occasionally change to "typing..."

This eventually resulted in a paragraph.

"Miss Gu, may we meet with Jiang Yi? We'd like to take his statement!"

Gu Qinghan rubbed his head, then turned his head slightly and saw Jiang Yi and Su Xiaoyue who were almost glued together.

She sighed deeply and silently typed a line of text.

"Wait a moment, let me ask something."

After speaking, Gu Qinghan cleared his throat.

"Xiaoyue, the lawyer wants to see Jiang Yi to get some information. When would be a convenient time for you?"

On the other side, Su Xiaoyue was clinging to Jiang Yi, her intact wrist stroking his eyebrows.

Gu Qinghan's sudden voice made Su Xiaoyue's hand stop abruptly, and then she accidentally plucked one of Jiang Yi's eyebrows.

Su Xiaoyue quickly asked with concern, "Honey, I'm so sorry, does it hurt?"

As she spoke, Su Xiaoyue straightened up and gently breathed on Jiang Yi's eyebrows.

The slightly damp sensation made Jiang Yi shudder.

The truth is, he didn't feel anything at all.

On the contrary, it was Su Xiaoyue's action of blowing her eyebrows that made Jiang Yi feel a little itchy.

He quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly suppressed the thought.

"Xiaoyue, I'm fine. Miss Gu has something to ask you."

"Um!"

Su Xiaoyue gave a soft "hmm," then gently pulled Jiang Yi's head down and kissed his forehead.

The time was very short, but Su Xiaoyue's face had already turned red.

She hurriedly tidied her hair, her face flushed as she looked at Gu Qinghan, pretending to be calm.

"Qinghan, what did you say?"

Gu Qinghan was somewhat stunned by Su Xiaoyue's performance.

She simply couldn't understand why Su Xiaoyue would like it so much...

Do not……

It's almost an obsession.

Just because he's handsome?

Or is it because you had an online romance with this face?

But wasn't I also deceived by Jiang Miaomiao?

Why am I not like Su Xiaoyue?

Is it because Jiang Miaomiao didn't take any photos when he was deceived?

Gu Qinghan didn't understand, nor did she want to understand.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and finished speaking in one breath.

"Xiaoyue, it's like this, the lawyer wants to meet with Jiang Yi to take a statement. When are you available?"
