Since the man was invited by her cousin, she rxed a bit.


    "You silly girl, what are you talking about?"


    Xia Qiuru''s pretty face heated up as she red at Xu Xinran.


    "Oh, why is someone''s face turning red? It doesn''t seem hot today!"


    Xu Xinran tilted her head and said with a bizarre smile.


    Being teased by her cousin in this way made Xia Qiuru feel even more embarrassed, especially in front of Su Chen, who was involved.


    "Alright, let me introduce you," Xia Qiuru had no choice but to pretend she hadn''t heard Xu Xinran''s teasing and forcefully changed the subject, "This is Su Chen, my colleague, and this is Xu Xinran, my cousin and also a policewoman."


    Both of them nodded at each other as if they had just met.


    Actually, they had only met three times in total, but each time left a deep impression on Xu Xinran.


    The first time was during a run when she had sprained her ankle, and it was Su Chen who healed her. She was amazed by his miraculous medical skill even then.


    The second time was at the Longteng Building, and that was the most shocking event of her life!


    Director Jiang Lixing actually addressed him as a senior officer and would even draw a gun to kill for him.


    She had be curious about this young man''s real identity back then, but her master and director, Jiang Lixing, did not tell her, only saying it was the nation''s top secret!


    The third encounter happened today, and they ran into each other in the bathroom while he was showering!


    The scene at that time was really...


    Thinking of the bathroom scene, Xu Xinran suddenly remembered that the lingerie she changed out of yesterday was still in there!


    "Oh no, did he see it?"


    Xu Xinran really wanted tofort herself that maybe he didn''t see it, but reason told her that was almost impossible, especially because it was so conspicuous!


    If it had been any other lingerie, it might not have been so bad, but why did it have to be that one?


    Xu Xinran was immediately filled with regret, for she had bought that lingerie under the encouragement of several close friends!


    Xu Xinran sneaked a nce at Su Chen, and Su Chen naturally felt it.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    Su Chen also looked at Xu Xinran, feeling that her gaze was somewhat strange.


    Looking at her, Su Chen couldn''t help but recall the glimpse of spring he saw when he identally tore a piece of her clothing off earlier.


    He hadn''t expected this woman''s assets to be so impressive!


    That E-cup lingerie couldn''t be hers, could it?


    Thinking this, Su Chen blurted out:


    "You''re an E..."


    Su Chen had just spoken when he realized that was inappropriate.


    How could he say such a thing in front of ady?


    "Xinran,e help me wash the vegetables."


    At that moment, Xia Qiuru''s voice came from the kitchen; she had gone to cook right after introducing them.


    "Oh,ing," Xu Xinran quickly responded, then red fiercely at Su Chen, "Don''t you say a word!"


    Xu Xinran was nowpletely certain that Su Chen had definitely seen...


    "Why is your face red?"


    Once Xu Xinran entered the kitchen, Xia Qiuru looked at her and asked.


    "It''s nothing."


    Xu Xinran quickly grabbed the vegetables and started washing them in the sink, using the task to mask her fluster.


    Luckily, Xia Qiuru just asked casually and didn''t probe further.


    "Cousin, your rtionship with Su Chen isn''t just that of colleagues, right?"


    After a while, Xu Xinran finally calmed down a bit and started gossiping again.


    "Of course, what else did you think?"


    Xia Qiuru had already braced herself, so she managed to remain rtivelyposed.


    "It doesn''t seem like it, he even calls you Qiuru so affectionately, so tenderly!"


    "We''re friends, there''s nothing wrong with that, right?"


    In fact, Xia Qiuru herself wasn''t sure what her rtionship with Su Chen was at the moment, and her mind was a bit fuzzy.


    To say they were lovers wasn''t clearly defined, and honestly, it was somewhatcking; to say they weren''t lovers, yet he had treated her in such a way!


    "I don''t believe that at all!" Xu Xinran scoffed, "Don''t forget what I do for a living, looking at you like this, nobody would believe you''re not smitten."


    "Alright, alright, you know best!"


    Xia Qiuru casually dismissed it, not wanting to continue this somewhat annoying topic.


    Two people working together got things done much faster than one. Before long, Xia Qiuru had prepared several exquisite dishes and served them on the table.


    "Qiuru, I didn''t expect you to be such a good cook, anyone who marries you is truly fortunate!"


    Su Chen couldn''t help but praise her, looking at the delicious dishes full of color and aroma, he really did feel hungry!


    "Since my cousin is so great, why don''t you marry her!"


    Xu Xinran chimed in naturally.


    "Xinran!"


    Xia Qiuru suddenly felt embarrassed and red at Xu Xinran.


    At the same time, she looked nervously at Su Chen. When she saw that Su Chen was also silently feeling awkward, her mood instantly dimmed.


    At that moment, Su Chen''s mind was also veryplex. He didn''t know why he had acted that way towards Xia Qiuru before, perhaps it was a moment of affection!


    But Su Chen couldn''t make any promises, since he was already married, although the rtionship with Lin Ruoxue was quite different from that of an ordinary married couple, he was indeed taken.


    To say Su Chen had no feelings for Xia Qiuru would be the first thing he didn''t believe!


    But what could he do about it? So he could only remain silent...


    "Alright, Xinran was just joking, don''t mind her." Xia Qiuru, ever the understanding woman, took the initiative to break the awkward silence, saying, "Hungry, right? Let''s eat."


    "Okay."


    Su Chen smiled and sat down.


    The meal was quite enjoyable, and everyone chatted happily, but there was always a certain unusual atmosphere, which nobody pointed out.


    When they finished dinner, it had begun to rain heavily outside.


    "Qiuru, it''s gettingte. I should leave now,"


    After chatting for a while, Su Chen stood up and said.


    "It''s raining heavily right now, why not sit for a while longer, and leave when the rain lightens up?"


    Xia Qiuru looked at the pouring rain outside and said.


    "It''s fine, I came by car, I won''t get wet."


    "Okay then." Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Xia Qiuru didn''t want to press him to stay and said, "Your car is parked outside theplex, let me get you an umbre."


    Su Chen nodded his head. Although he didn''t mind the rain, he couldn''t ignore Xia Qiuru''s kindness.


    ......


    When Su Chen walked out of the door, Xia Qiuru went to the balcony and looked downward.


    She watched Su Chen appear downstairs, and then watched as he gradually disappeared in the rain...


    She just sighed deeply!


    Xu Xinran, who was by her side, felt a pang of sympathy seeing her like this.


    After pondering for a moment, she bit her lip and said:


    "Cousin, he''s no ordinary man!"
