After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 403 Too Naïve
Night fell, and a cold wind blew in the late autumn night.

The black sedan drove slowly and stopped in the Su family villa area.

Chi Yu lowered her head to unbuckle her seatbelt and said goodbye to Shen Yanzhi: "I'm home. Drive carefully on your way back."

"Hmm." Shen Yanzhi turned his head, his beautiful eyes fixed on Chi Yu.

Shen Yanzhi parked his car very close to the Su family villa. Chi Yu opened the car door and got out.

As she closed the car door behind her, another click sounded at the same time, and the driver's side door was opened from the inside. Shen Yanzhi took a long stride and got out of the car.

Shen Yanzhi opened the back door and took out the things he had just bought for Chi Yu: "I forgot your things."

"Oh, I forgot." Chi Yu walked over quickly.

Shen Yanzhi carefully placed the packaging bag into Chi Yu's hands, looked down at Chi Yu in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his hand and lean down to hug her.

Under the swaying shadows of the trees, the two figures were pressed close together.

Shen Yanzhi buried his head in Chi Yu's shoulder and rubbed it affectionately, saying in a low voice, "I'll be back soon from this business trip."

Chi Yu suddenly felt a pang of reluctance.

She reached out and hugged Shen Yanzhi back, inhaling the faint, cool fragrance emanating from his clothes: "Okay."

Shen Yanzhi looked at the Su family's courtyard gate not far away and said, "It was too hasty to come today, and it was a bit impolite. Next time, I will bring a gift."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu blushed immediately: "Ahem, no rush."

They've only been dating for a day, and Shen Yanzhi is already thinking about meeting the parents?

"I'm anxious." Shen Yanzhi made no attempt to hide his urgency, recalling what Su Chengyan had said to him last time.

At that time, Su Chengyan was even thinking of introducing talented young men to Chi Yu!
Isn't this just a disguised form of blind dating?
If it were broad daylight, Shen Yanzhi would have gone in openly and honestly.

Preparing lavish gifts was not difficult for him.

However, visiting someone at night is somewhat impolite.

After he returns from this business trip, he is determined to make it clear to the Su family that he is Chi Yu's boyfriend, and let everyone know about their relationship.

Shen Yanzhi thought it over and over again, and finally let go of Chi Yu: "It's cold outside, you go in first."

Chi Yu nodded: "Okay, drive carefully when you go back later. Is your flight tomorrow morning? Get some rest."

Shen Yanzhi: "Okay."

Chi Yu lifted her foot and took a few steps forward.

Not hearing any movement behind her, Chi Yu turned around and found Shen Yanzhi still standing there looking at her.

He stood quietly under the tree, tall and slender, his handsome features still discernible even in the darkness, his aura striking.

Seeing Chi Yu turn around, Shen Yanzhi smiled and said, "I'll leave once I see you go in."

Chi Yu nodded and strode into the courtyard of the Su family villa.

Only after her figure completely disappeared did Shen Yanzhi turn away and return to his car.

Shen Yanzhi took out his phone and sent a message to one of the WeChat groups:

[Let's go out and have some fun.]
……

When Chi Yu returned home, she saw Su's mother sitting on the sofa watching TV, and quickly called out, "Mom."

"Hey," Su's mother immediately looked up, "You're back?"

"Hmm." Chi Yu changed her shoes in the entryway and then went inside.

Su's mother asked with a smile, "Did you have fun today? Why didn't you ask your second brother to pick you up?"

The brother and sister went out together in the morning, but only Su Muyang came back for dinner. Su's mother almost kicked Su Muyang out of the house on the spot.

Later, after learning from Su Muyang that Chi Yu had gone to see a friend, Su's mother finally let him go.

Chi Yu nodded: "It was fun. My friend brought me back."

Su's mother noticed that Chi Yu was carrying a large shopping bag. She saw a familiar logo and was about to say something when Su Muyang, who had heard the noise, suddenly poked his head out from the second-floor staircase. His eyes fell on Chi Yu, and he wailed, "Sister! You're finally back! You don't know, Mom almost kicked me out this afternoon when she saw that I was the only one who came back!"

Upon hearing Su Muyang's voice, Su's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes: "If you dare to leave your sister outside alone again, see if I don't beat you."

"I won't, I won't." Su Muyang begged for forgiveness, then said urgently to Chi Yu, "Yu Yu, come up here quickly, I have something to tell you."

He leaned on the wooden handrail, winking at Chi Yu, the meaning in his eyes understood only by the two of them.

Chi Yu: "..."

Looking at Su Muyang's rather dim-witted appearance, she had no idea how he could guess her feelings for Shen Yanzhi from just one sentence.

Chi Yu said to Su's mother, "Mom, I'm going upstairs now."

Su's mother also felt that her second son was sometimes so stupid that it was unbearable to look at, but when facing Chi Yu, Su's mother's expression and tone were extremely gentle: "Go, go."

After Chi Yu went upstairs, Su Muyang, as if seeking praise, raised his chin with a proud look: "Yu Yu, how about it? Isn't your second brother smart? Hahahaha!"

Chi Yu smiled faintly at him, opened the study door, and went inside.

Su Muyang followed behind Chi Yu, eagerly asking, "Tell me quickly, what happened after I dropped you off at the square? How did you two get together?"

Actually, the speed at which Shen Yanzhi and Chi Yu's relationship developed was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He thought that even if they broke the ice, they would still have to go through an ambiguous phase, giving each other more time to get to know each other.

Who would have thought that in just a few hours, Shen Yanzhi would start calling him "Second Brother"!

Thank goodness it was over the phone. If Shen Yanzhi had called him like that in person, he wouldn't have dared to respond even if Shen Yanzhi had dared to call him!
Seeing Su Muyang anxiously eating melons, Chi Yu deliberately didn't speak, but asked instead, "Second brother, you pulled this stunt today... You still haven't told me how you guessed that the person I like is Shen Yanzhi?"

"Is that even a guess?" Su Muyang was shocked and asked sincerely, "Besides Shen Yanzhi, are there any other women around you?"

Chi Yu: "..."

That seems to be the case.

Su Muyang wasn't stupid; he didn't let Chi Yu change the subject: "Yu Yu, you still haven't told me how you two got together?"

Chi Yu: "So... like this... and then like that... and finally we got together."

Su Muyang: ? ? ?

On the other side, inside a luxury private room, several young people were casually leaning back on chairs.

After ordering, Jiang still felt somewhat incredulous.

Having known Shen Yanzhi for so many years, this seems to be the first time he has taken the initiative to call everyone out at night.

Although it was just a late-night snack, rather than other forms of entertainment, it was still enough to shock Jiang Chang and the others!
When they arrived, they discovered that Brother Yan had clear features and a slight smile on his lips; anyone could tell he was in a good mood.

Huo Jiaxing laughed and said, "After Yan-ge stopped going to work, he lost that dignified and heavy office air, and his whole demeanor became gentle and cheerful."

The person next to him glanced at him, thinking, "Is this something you can just say so casually?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Yanzhi's smile remained unchanged after hearing this: "Not having to work is indeed much more relaxing and enjoyable. Please sit down."

He picked up a teacup and poured a cup of hot tea for the person sitting next to him.

Those around him were somewhat flattered. Jiang Chang, with his sharp eyes, noticed the bright gold on Shen Yanzhi's finger, but he didn't pay it any mind, assuming it was just a new accessory Shen Yanzhi had changed. During the late-night snack, Shen Yanzhi, the organizer, ate the least and talked the least, instead frequently pouring tea for everyone.

Her long, slender, fair fingers swayed back and forth in front of everyone, the gold on her fingers standing out strikingly under the bright lights.

However, everyone was so flattered by Shen Yanzhi's personal care that no one noticed this subtle change.

When Shen Yanzhi picked up the teapot and poured tea for Jiang Chang for the twelfth time, Jiang Chang took the teacup with both hands and saw the golden color. A thought flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "Brother Yan, your ring is beautiful. Where did you buy it?"

After a busy night, Shen Yanzhi finally heard what he wanted to hear. He withdrew his hand reservedly. "I bought them with my girlfriend. One for her and one for me."

Jiang Chang: "..."

Damn it! Could you have hidden the smug look on your face any more obviously?!

So this is the reason why Shen Yanzhi forced him to drink eleven cups of tea!

Wait, girlfriend?

Jiang Chang's eyes widened, and he screamed like a chicken, looking at Shen Yanzhi in disbelief: "Brother Yan, you have a girlfriend?!"

Who is it? Who is so outstanding that they could make this 27-year-old barren tree bloom?!

“Genuine, no doubt about it.” Shen Yanzhi’s lips curled up slightly as he extended his hand and placed it discreetly in front of Jiang Chang.

The other people at the table were also stunned by the news.

Shen Yanzhi is no longer single?

Even if they were sitting right in front of them, the news still felt unreal to them.

Jiang Chang was the first to respond. After processing the news, he couldn't wait to ask, "Who is your sister-in-law? When did you two get together?"

Of course, more importantly: "Brother Yan, why didn't you invite her to come with you today?!"

He was eager to see who was so capable as to have plucked this unattainable beauty.

"I just took her home. We're officially dating today." Shen Yanzhi paused, then suddenly remembered something, and his expression turned serious.

Jiang Chang looked at him and saw Shen Yanzhi suddenly stand up halfway through his sentence: "I have to go back first. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. She just told me to go home and rest early."

"Take your time eating."

After saying that, Shen Yanzhi actually just left.

Jiang Chang: "..."

The rest of the tablemates: "???"

It wasn't until a while after Shen Yanzhi's tall figure left the private room that everyone, who had been sitting there dumbfounded, finally came to their senses.

One of them dared to speak up, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the private room: "No, no, after Brother Shen started dating, he turned out like this?"

"Who would have thought this!"

"Damn it, I thought I was seeing things! If I had known Brother Shen was so innocent, I should have had my sister pester him relentlessly!"

"Come on, do you think no one has tried this before?"

"..."

Jiang Chang finally realized that Shen Yanzhi had called them out to show off that he had a girlfriend!

Jiang Chang almost burst out laughing when he thought about Shen Yanzhi's series of actions.

They were right. Who would have thought that someone who was usually so aloof and shrewd would turn out to be so innocent and pure after such an unexpected turn of events?

Everyone here started dating in their teens and had sex before they were even twenty.

Only Shen Yanzhi, at twenty-seven years old, is still a virgin and probably hasn't even held a girl's hand.

For ordinary people, the pleasures of love between men and women may be rare, but for people from well-off families like them, it's just a matter of snapping their fingers.

These days, who still has a serious relationship?

And this was only the first day of dating, yet he was as excited as a naive young boy.

That's his brother Yan.

They get so cocky when they're in a relationship.

That's so childish!
but……

Jiang Chang smiled, raised his glass, and said, "Come on, let's have a toast. Although Brother Yan ran away early, we still wish him happiness in finding a partner and that he'll be happy forever!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Laughter filled the private room.

After Shen Yanzhi got home, he first took out his phone to send a message to Chi Yu to let her know that he had arrived home.

He had just had a late-night snack with Jiang Chang and the others, and he also took the initiative to send a message to Chi Yu.

After finishing his conversation with Chi Yu, Shen Yanzhi opened Ms. Jiang's phone number and dialed it.

Ms. Jiang answered the phone quickly: "Aren't you asleep yet?"

While chatting with Ms. Jiang, Shen Yanzhi bluntly said, "Mom, I'm in a relationship."

For twenty-seven years, my son has been uninterested in the opposite sex and even somewhat averse to matters between men and women. Suddenly, he is told what it is like to be in a relationship.
If such a question were asked, Ms. Jiang would definitely reply online: This feeling is no less than if I had personally picked two little cherry blossoms.

These are all things we dream of, but are difficult to achieve.

There was a long silence on the phone before Ms. Jiang's voice came through: "Say it again?"

Shen Yanzhi knew that Ms. Jiang had heard him. "Mom, where are the jadeite pieces you collected before? I'll transfer the money to you."

What do you need that for?

As soon as the words left her mouth, Ms. Jiang understood immediately: "For your girlfriend?"

"Hmm." Shen Yanzhi recalled the scene of the two of them picking out jewelry at the gold shop today, and his cold and hard facial features softened a bit: "She likes to wear jewelry."

“Jade is indeed beautiful, but its color is limited. You can't just give someone a gift that's all the same color. Besides, custom-made jade jewelry takes time.” After regaining her composure, Ms. Jiang was overjoyed and offered her son some advice:
"Many luxury jewelry pieces are beautiful now, some are glamorous, some are everyday, and there are all kinds of styles. They are also convenient to buy as gifts."

Shen Yanzhi frowned. He didn't know much about these things usually, but he was willing to listen and learn: "Send me the brand information later."

"Yes, yes!" Ms. Jiang was overjoyed. Judging from Shen Yanzhi's reaction, he was definitely taking it to heart.

Ms. Jiang said again, "You shouldn't just give her jewelry. Besides jewelry, you should also give her bags. No girl dislikes bags!"

"Fine, I'll just send it to you directly, and I'll also send you their brand's contact information!"

Shen Yanzhi: "Okay."

However, he didn't forget Ms. Jiang's jade: "I want the jade too."

Ms. Jiang beamed with joy: "Here you go, I'll send you the picture of the jade processing studio I visited before."

　Jiang Chang: ...If I had known it was going to be dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), I wouldn't have come!
