My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Wang Yuting then realized that this was what Lin Jiu was worried about.

If there weren't so many people around, she would have wanted to hug Lin Jiu tightly.

However, by the time he came to his senses, Wang Yuting had already hugged him.

Completely disregarding the gaze of others, Wang Yuting has always been this brave; she is incredibly brave.

Especially after learning that Lin Jiu was already a legal adult, she became even braver!

"I have to admit, I was initially drawn to your smile. Just seeing your smile freed me from all sorts of exhaustion. Your every glance and smile gave me hope from my prison-like life, and my life changed. I took it upon myself to regard you as a hope for a better future. In order to see you again, I tried my best to become a better person and worked desperately to finish my work, just so I could leave work early and go to the convenience store to see you."

Wang Yuting opened her arms and hugged Lin Jiu, lifted his hair and tucked it behind his ear, looking directly at his slightly flustered and flushed face.

“After you moved in with me, my opinion of you changed. I discovered that you have many, many good qualities that I had never noticed before. I didn’t know you were so good at taking care of people, I didn’t know you were such a good cook, and I never thought you could turn a home into a real home instead of a stinking garbage dump.”

"No, stop talking..."

Lin Jiu's face was now completely red.

The two were not far from the elevator, and passersby along the way were watching them.

Even the owner of the milk tea shop peeked out, abandoning her business to watch the spectacle.

"I know, we'll talk about it when we get home! We'll talk about it when we get home!"

Lin Jiu tugged at Wang Yuting's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

"No, I want you to know that you are one of a kind."

Wang Yuting cupped Lin Jiu's cheeks and looked directly into his eyes, which he was trying to hide from.

"Your courage in facing bad people without ever backing down, your fearlessness when standing on the podium rebuking everyone, your wisdom in grasping the overall situation with just a phone call... Every aspect of you fascinates me. My affection for you grows a little more every day, and I look forward to seeing you the next day every night."

Wang Yuting smiled and said, "I'm very proud. The person I like may be a bit petite, but he can shoulder the weight of a family. In my heart, he's taller, more handsome, and more charming than anyone else."

"Be confident, Lin Jiu."

"I like you."

Wang Yuting confessed her feelings to Lin Jiu once again.

This time, Wang Yuting said it in front of countless people.

The elevator doors opened, and the saleswoman with the exaggerated facial expression was still there; she had heard everything.

However, she didn't care about hearing it. Wang Yuting had no intention of hiding it, otherwise she wouldn't have brought Lin Jiu to the mall.

"Um……"

Lin Jiu was stunned by Wang Yuting's barrage of direct attacks. He nodded blankly, awkwardly responding to her feelings.

Cheers could be faintly heard from those around me, and some people couldn't help but clap. Customers passing by the cinema seemed almost indifferent to their movie tickets. Someone even asked the bubble tea shop owner, "Why is your bubble tea so sweet? How much sugar did you put in?"

However, Lin Jiu could no longer hear those people's voices.

At that moment, he only had eyes for this cool and confident girl.

"Let's go eat."

Wang Yuting took his hand and led him toward the family restaurant.

Lin Jiu nodded again and followed behind her, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

Although Lin Jiu hadn't yet recovered from his happiness, he didn't want to let go of her hand.

If Lin Jiu were given a mirror right now, he would definitely see a not-so-wise smile on his face.

That's the expression on the face of a couple in love whose IQ drops to that of an eight-and-a-half-year-old.

However, it doesn't look bad.

"Oh my god, what did I just see..."

The saleswoman leaned against the elevator and muttered to herself.

That dashing and capable Manager Wang, who handled any customer complaint with ease and confidence.

The saleswomen on the fourth floor all looked up to Wang Yuting, aspiring to be as successful career women as her. After learning that Wang Yuting had a boyfriend, they all wondered what kind of lucky man could have won her heart.

Now she has seen it for herself.

Although it was quite different from what I expected, it wasn't bad at all.

Who can resist an older sister and a cute little boy?

The saleswoman took out her phone and opened a chat app.

She wanted to say that she had met Manager Wang's boyfriend, but then she hesitated.

Should I say it?

Will it bother Manager Wang if I say it?

She glanced at the time and realized she was late.

Oh well, being late is fine.

It was worth it to witness Manager Wang's confession.

The saleswoman was looking down at her phone. In the chat group, someone was jokingly asking if Manager Wang would come to work again today, or if she was out on a date with her boyfriend. There was even some clueless individuals who were clearly against the marriage.

Suddenly, the saleswoman felt a surge of anger and quickly typed a reply:

"They are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Who are you, a monster, to object?"

Chapter 78 I was originally your family's 4K

"Hello, welcome! How many of you are in your party?"

"The two of you."

"Okay, this way please, both of you."

The waitress gave a polite smile and found Wang Yuting and Lin Jiu a seat in a corner.

This may not be the best spot, but it's definitely the most suitable for two people, allowing them to avoid being disturbed while eating.

Wang Yuting and Lin Jiu attracted a lot of attention as they walked, even the other restaurant staff glanced at them as they passed by. To onlookers, the two didn't look like a couple at all, but more like sisters.

Lin Jiu no longer overthinks things.

Lin Jiu mentally cheered himself up. In the past, when he was alone, he never cared about other people's opinions or views. Since Wang Yuting didn't care, it would be arrogant for him to worry about her.

Thinking that you are doing this for the other person's own good is actually the easiest way to hurt them.

I need to be more confident.

Lin Jiu quietly clenched her fist.

Whenever he doubts himself, Wang Yuting's confession to him comes to mind.

She's like a war goddess.

Lin Jiu's defenses were easily breached.

Now that things have come to this, even if I wanted to forget, I couldn't.

"Don't say these things in public again."

Lin Jiu subconsciously placed her hands behind her buttocks, trying to gather her skirt up, then remembered that she was wearing shorts and pantyhose today. Her pretty face instantly turned red, and she sat down on the chair with a blush on her face.

Oh no, Lin Jiu has gotten used to wearing skirts so much that it's become a habit.

Wang Yuting naturally noticed this, but she just narrowed her eyes and gave a mischievous smile, without asking Lin Jiu what she felt.

This woman inherited her mother's excellent talent for manipulating people she likes; she knows when to make a move and when to stop.

This is like any sport; you can't rush it. You have to take it one step at a time. Maintain a rhythm of four fast and one slow paces to give yourself time to catch your breath, and then push through to the top for the best results. If you maintain a high speed the whole time, you'll quickly run out of energy, and after a bout of trembling, everything will become tedious.

That's right, this sport is called long-distance running.

Do you understand the value of the four-step breathing method?

During running, the body's demand for oxygen increases continuously. At this time, breathing every four steps can relieve stress. In terms of breathing method, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, or mix inhalation through both the mouth and nose, and then adjust appropriately according to your own physiological habits.

When you first start running, your speed will be relatively slow and your oxygen demand will be low. You can meet your breathing needs by breathing through your nose alone. Gradually, you will need to use your mouth to breathe in order to relieve stress. Inhale slowly and evenly, and exhale sharply and forcefully with appropriate depth, maintaining a steady rhythm.

This breathing technique can be used in many ways to effectively enhance combat capabilities... which leads to another type of exercise.

Yeah, this time I didn't mean anything by it, it's that sport, you know.

It can be used for both groups of two or for single-person power generation.

Extending it by half an hour is not a problem.

"Take a look at the menu, you can eat whatever you want."

Wang Yuting subtly changed the subject, ordering two menus to compare with Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu originally wanted a more definite answer from her, that this kind of thing could only be done at home from now on, as it was too embarrassing to do it in public. However, Wang Yuting didn't intend to agree, because as long as she wasn't embarrassed, then it was others who were embarrassed.

"...Wow."

Once Lin Jiu's attention was diverted by the menu, he momentarily forgot what he had just wanted to say.

There are so many different dishes, and the pictures on the menu are so beautiful that they take your breath away, leaving you feeling overwhelmed.

Wang Yuting silently put down the menu, rested her elbows on the table, and propped her cheeks up with her hands, quietly observing Lin Jiu's expression.

Lin Jiu was like a child who had found a toy, her eyes sparkling and her whole being shining.

Based on Wang Yuting's understanding of Lin Jiu... Lin Jiu was probably thinking at this moment whether she could recreate the scene at home.

"Take a look and see what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you at home from now on."

Lin Jiu pointed to the menu and showed it to Wang Yuting. At that moment, his face was full of confidence.

He had been intently observing the dishes, thinking about the proportions of ingredients and seasonings, and how to cook them. Anything was fine, as long as he was there, he would never let Wang Yuting go hungry.

"Ok!"

Wang Yuting smiled victoriously.

Lin Jiu flipped through the menu for a while, mentally estimating her appetite, and finally decided to order fruit-smoked sausage, broccoli and creamy bacon pasta, and clam and seaweed seafood soup. Wang Yuting, on the other hand, chose sizzling chicken steak, herb-stuffed sausage, mushroom and chicken cream pasta, and mushroom cream soup. She had originally planned to order a pizza, but Lin Jiu glanced at it, shook her head, and expressed her disdain for that kind of pizza.

“I can make you an even better pizza at home, the kind where you start kneading the dough from scratch.”
