When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1123 Shengnan 55
Tan You shook her head. Could perfume really alleviate Jiang Shengnan's insomnia? Obviously not. Jiang Shengnan had fallen asleep next to Jin Jue twice in a row; subconsciously, she felt a dependence on him.

Where does this sense of dependence come from? Was it when Jiang Shengnan fainted in Jin Jue's arms in N City? Because someone steadily supported her during her most vulnerable moment, is that why, subconsciously, Jiang Shengnan's body remembered Jin Jue's scent first?
And they categorized Jin Jue into a different group?
Tan You could help with physical ailments, but she was powerless to address psychological ones. She could sever Sara's emotional ties, but she couldn't do that to Jiang Shengnan.

No matter how badly the Jiang couple treated her, no matter how much resentment she felt, they were still her biological parents. Tan You understood one thing: there were some things Jiang Shengnan could bring up, but she couldn't, such as completely severing ties between Jiang Shengnan and the Jiang couple.

When Tan You goes on missions involving family and ethical issues, she's always very careful. After all, she's even received complaints from her clients before, which, while not personally bothersome, still leave her feeling uneasy.

After sitting down at the restaurant, Jin Jue exchanged a few words with the manager. Soon, Jiang Shengnan's Chinese medicine was heated up and served, along with a plate of snacks.

Jiang Shengnan looked at Jin Jue, whose expression remained unchanged: "You don't like bitter tastes, but this is Chinese medicine, so eating something sweet will help suppress the bitterness."

He had seen Jiang Shengnan several times, and although she owned a coffee shop, she never drank coffee. Every time he saw her, she had desserts, milk tea, and the like in front of her.

Jin Jue used to think it was just a personal preference, but after learning about Jiang Shengnan's family background, he finally understood. She had suffered too much in the past, and now she couldn't bear even the slightest hardship.

Jiang Shengnan's fingers twitched, thinking to herself that mature men are still attractive when they're being meticulous; she'd even noticed that. She picked up the Chinese medicine, tentatively took a sip, and her face involuntarily scrunched up.

Tan You said coolly, "Taking small sips makes it even more bitter."

Jiang Shengnan's hand froze. Holding the small bowl, she closed her eyes and gulped it all down in one go, letting out a burp as she finished. Before the bitter taste in her mouth could dissipate, a pastry was placed in front of her.

Jiang Shengnan didn't care about anything else. She took the fork from Jin Jue and took two bites to suppress the strange taste.

Watching Jiang Shengnan drink her medicine, burp, and eat snacks, she showed none of her usual aloofness, or even her usual ladylike elegance. Yet, Jin Jue found her adorable, the more he looked at her, the more adorable she became.

He never imagined that one day he would find a girl so adorable, and no matter what she did, even rolling her eyes, he would find her unique.

Tan You glanced at the other person's slightly deeper red aura and smiled faintly. She had only seen this kind of red aura on a few passionate men before. Could Jin Jue be the next one?
Could a former playboy settle down and become a Casanova for love? Is it possible? Or is it just a one-sided affair? Tan You suddenly felt hopeful.

Suppressing the strange smell, Jiang Shengnan took a deep breath: "Just thinking about all the Chinese medicine I still have makes me feel like life is going to be so hard."

Jin Jue: "You've suffered heavy losses lately, and besides, good medicine tastes bitter."

Jiang Shengnan understood this principle, so she just smiled and changed the subject: "Do you know the restaurant manager? You two seem to be quite familiar with each other."

Jin Jue smiled and said, "I know him. He's a friend of mine."

Jiang Shengnan said helplessly, "I promised to treat you to dinner, but I'm owing you more and more."

She already had a premonition that Jin Jue would probably pay for dinner again tonight. Come to think of it, how many meals did she owe Jin Jue? She would have to pay him back eventually. But now, not only could she not pay him back, she actually owed him more and more.

Jin Jue also had his own thoughts. Since he had developed feelings for Jiang Shengnan, he wanted to subtly let the people around him know about Jiang Shengnan and bring her into his circle.

Moreover, he had to do it subtly. Given Jiang Shengnan's wariness, if he went too far, she would immediately disappear and quickly distance herself from him. Therefore, he simply smiled and said, "Next time, next time I definitely won't argue with you."

How could Jiang Shengnan not understand Jin Jue's thoughts? After all, she was a seasoned career woman and a veteran of the dating scene. She could figure out Jin Jue's intentions in no time.

"Does Sara know you haven't been feeling well lately?" Jin Jue wanted to slowly boil Jiang Shengnan like a frog in water, so he naturally couldn't stay on that topic for long and quickly found another one.

Jiang Shengnan twitched her fingers: "I didn't tell her, and my friends on the 17th floor don't know either. Interacting with friends also requires emotions, and right now I can't muster any enthusiasm for anything."

“Sara’s work has just gotten on track. Letting her know that she can’t do much while she’s abroad is just making her worry unnecessarily.”

Jin Jue nodded slightly: "Speaking of which, Yan Yu went to Singapore last week."

Seeing Jiang Shengnan's peach blossom eyes widen, Jin Jue smiled and said, "I heard there's a project there."

Jiang Shengnan started scrolling through her phone: "I haven't heard Sara mention this. Let me check the messages."

Sara is a cool and aloof beauty, and Jiang Shengnan is usually the one who initiates contact with her. However, she hasn't been feeling well for the past two weeks, and Jiang Shengnan hasn't contacted Sara either.

Their messages are still stuck two weeks ago, before she left for N City.

Jin Jue sat close by and immediately noticed the pages of information. He tapped on the glass table: "Let's eat first. I guess Sara doesn't want you to worry about her."

Jiang Shengnan thought about it and accepted the explanation. After Tan You removed her emotional ties, Sara felt utterly disgusted with Yan Yu. If Yan Yu were to come to her, Sara probably wouldn't tell her about something so repulsive... right?

No, she'll have to ask Sara when she gets back.

But now, she had to ask about Yan Yu's recent situation: "Yan Yu... does he often go to Singapore?"

She remembered that she had never met Yan Yu when she was in Singapore. Could that scumbag be trying to get back together with her?
Jin Jue recalled Yan Yu's recent movements: "He... went for a few days last week. I don't know if he went to Singapore before that."

"However, he does have business partners in Singapore."

Jiang Shengnan was skeptical: "A grown man shouldn't be so wishy-washy. Sara has already let go, so he should be able to let go too. Adult men and women, since they've separated, they should each be well."

Jin Jue raised an eyebrow: "You don't approve of them getting back together?"

“Sara won’t listen to my opinion either,” Jiang Shengnan said softly, taking a sip of soup. “As a friend, I can only accept Sara’s decision. If she really gets back together with Yan Yu, I will feel uncomfortable, but I can also understand.”

"Sara is a woman of deep feeling and passion. The person she loved so deeply was truly special to her." Even though her emotions were taken away, the memories remained...
