The Bravest

Chapter 197: Feasting and Dinner

When Lin Jie was teaching Liu Ruyan how to resist being stalked, he suddenly asked her about the fact that she had relatives that she had been hiding from her.

Lin Jie's words made Liu Ruyan extremely nervous. She explained to Lin Jie in a panic, fearing that once Lin Jie got angry, he would no longer trust her and might even drive her away.

Lin Jie looked at Liu Ruyan's pale face and didn't dare to scare her anymore.

"Don't be afraid, I don't blame you. I'll go back with you sometime and see who dares to look down on you. Okay, we're in love, don't let those people see it."

Lin Jie kissed Liu Ruyan on the forehead to prove that he was not angry.

"Yeah, there are so many people here..."

Liu Ruyan was suddenly kissed by Lin Jie. She was worried that Lin Jie would be angry, so her pale face immediately turned red.

No matter how bold Liu Ruyan was when they were alone together, she couldn't adapt to being kissed by Lin Jie in public. For a moment, she really wanted to find a place to hide.

"What are you afraid of? Apart from the two people who are following us, who would look at us?" Lin Jie patted Liu Ruyan's shoulder and teased the cute girl.

"Humph, you are so bad. One moment you scare people, and the next moment you act like a hooligan."

"It's just to test your adaptability. It seems you're still a long way to go!"

Seeing Lin Jie's grinning face, Liu Ruyan was angry. She twisted his waist hard to feel better. However, she immediately asked Lin Jie again with uncertainty:

"You really don't blame me for lying to you?"

"Well, I said this to let you know that you should not trust someone without investigating first."

"Including those who have slept with you?" Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Jie aggrievedly.

"Ah."

"I see!"

……

In the afternoon, Lin Jie took Liu Ruyan to see a movie and to eat Western food, and only then did he make the aggrieved Liu Ruyan happy.

"I spent a lot of money, enough for my uncle's family's living expenses for a month. Don't come next time." After leaving the restaurant and getting in the car, Liu Ruyan started complaining.

The money she spent on a meal was actually more than an ordinary family's monthly living expenses. Even if she got a job at the police station, she still couldn't imagine it.

"Come once in a while! How about you cook for me next time?"

"Okay, okay. I can cook in my dormitory."

"Ruyan, how about I buy you a house out there!"

"No, I am an independent person and I don't want to become your pet."

Liu Ruyan can accept Lin Jie's training of her, but she really doesn't want to become a canary that only knows how to look at a man's raising. This is her last bit of dignity.

"You are putting yourself in such a difficult position. Why bother? Even if I can't take you home for the time being, I can still give you a home outside."

"Lin Jie, you've been good enough to me, can you keep it this way? I'll buy a house myself when I make money. As long as you're willing to come, my home will be your home too."

"It's up to you, you silly girl." Lin Jie knew what Liu Ruyan was thinking. She was determined to do so and Lin Jie was helpless.

"Let's not talk about this. You said you would take me dancing, but I haven't experienced the nightlife in Shanghai yet." Liu Ruyan tried hard to look longing.

"I'm going to call home first, you wait for me in the car."

"Yeah." Liu Ruyan agreed obediently, and then watched Lin Jie get off the car. She felt very uncomfortable. She didn't dare to complain, because it was her fault for falling in love with a man with a family.

Liu Ruyan knew that the happy family life she and Lin Jie had could only appear in her dreams. Maybe one day, she could have a child with Lin Jie. In that case, even if Lin Jie was not around, she would no longer feel lonely.

When Lin Jie got back into the car, Liu Ruyan had regained her excitement: "You have to teach me well later. If you make me look bad, I won't forgive you."

"No problem, I promise you'll learn it in no time."

……

In front of the Paramount Ballroom, the sky had just darkened and the colorful neon lights had already lit up.

"Are you nervous? You dare to shoot and kill people, so what's this little scene? Relax a little."

Lin Jie's arm was held tightly by Liu Ruyan. Looking at her hesitant expression, Lin Jie gently patted her hand and comforted her in a low voice.

"Those people are dressed very elegantly. Would it embarrass you if I dress like this?"

Liu Ruyan looked at the several gorgeous women who were dressed in fancy clothes, raised her head to glance at them with disdain, and walked past her with a twist of her waist, feeling a little uneasy.

"They are just a few socialites. How can they compare with you?" Lin Jie laughed. This was what Liu Ruyan meant. Lin Jie thought she was timid.

"What is a socialite?" Liu Ruyan had heard of this term, but she didn't quite understand what it meant.

"Haha, it's that woman...who always hangs around with powerful men." Lin Jie couldn't find the right words to describe her for a moment.

"Tsk, she's just a prostitute!" Liu Ruyan understood and rolled her eyes in disdain.

"That's not the case. No matter how clever they are, don't underestimate them. Many men have suffered at their hands."

"Have you ever suffered a loss?" Liu Ruyan regained her confidence. She took Lin Jie's arm and walked inside, not forgetting to tease him.

"Will I suffer a loss? I'm lucky enough that I don't lie." Lin Jie was not convinced. How could he let Liu Ruyan look down on him.

"Hmph, who knows? You are so lustful, you might not even know that your soul has been seduced away by someone." Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at Lin Jie, expressing her doubt.

"That was also seduced away by you..."

As soon as I walked in, a waiter came over to greet me, "Hello, sir, do you have a reservation?"

"No, help us find a quieter place." Lin Jie took out a few bills and stuffed them into the waiter's hand.

"Thank you sir, please follow me."

Lin Jie took Liu Ruyan and followed the waiter straight to the dance hall on the second floor.

As soon as she reached the second floor, Liu Ruyan was stunned by the luxury in front of her. She looked around and her little hands nervously grasped Lin Jie's arm.

"Don't look around, or people will know it's your first time here." Lin Jie ordered drinks and said to Liu Ruyan with a smile after the waiter left.

"This is my first time here! It's so beautiful here." Liu Ruyan acted coquettishly towards Lin Jie. She didn't know what words to use to describe it, and her eyes looked around involuntarily.

"Haha, I just want to remind you that no one here is nice, including the waiter just now."

"Ah, isn't this a place for fun?"

Liu Ruyan looked at the polite waiters, the cheerful gentlemen, the gorgeous beauties, and especially the singers dancing on the stage under the colorful lights. Their seductive postures made her blush a little.

"Haha, this is the most complicated place in Shanghai. There are all kinds of people here. It's a mixed bag! Who knows, the woman you just met at the door might be a spy from some country."

"No way! I think the atmosphere here is quite relaxed. It's not like what you said, full of monsters and demons."

Liu Ruyan was dazzled by the bright lights and feasting in front of her, and she didn't believe that such a luxurious place would be as awful as Lin Jie said.
