Sensual Avatar: Chapter 10

Realizing her overreaction, Jiang Yan sat on the sofa with a stony face and said somewhat listlessly, "I'm sorry."

Su Jian didn't blame her but asked concernedly what had happened, yet Jiang Yan didn't elaborate much.

Su Jian guessed something must have happened to Jiang Yan, otherwise she wouldn't have lost control like that in front of Zhou Lu.

But since Jiang Yan didn't want to talk about it, she didn't pry further.

Even best friends have their own secrets.

That day, as Jiang Yan was helping Su Jian stroll along the corridor, they saw a vivid figure rush into the arms of someone in a white coat.

"Doctor Zhou, did you miss me? I missed you so much." The woman's voice was incredibly sultry to the bone.

Both Su Jian and Jiang Yan got goosebumps, they exchanged a silent look, and Jiang Yan whispered teasingly, "Don't you think she resembles someone?"

Su Jian's cheeks turned slightly red, unwilling to admit her own embarrassing past.

Indeed, Ye Nuannuan really resembled her younger self, fiery and unrestrained.

In the past, she used to flirt with Zhou Lu openly, but Zhou Lu always remained indifferent. Despite this, the more setbacks she faced, the more determined she became, ultimately succeeding in winning over this high and mighty individual.

Su Jian didn't want to stay longer, so she quickly pulled Jiang Yan to walk past, but they were still noticed by the keen-eyed Ye Nuannuan.

"Miss Su, what a coincidence to see you here again," she said with a hidden smile.

Reluctantly, Su Jian stopped, turned around, and nodded in acknowledgment.

Zhou Lu peeled her slender, fair arms off his waist with a serious expression, "Stop it, I have work to do."

Ye Nuannuan, looking coquettishly at him, suggested, "How about dinner together tonight?"

Zhou Lu absentmindedly hummed in agreement.

Ye Nuannuan immediately happily tiptoed up to peck his cheek and boldly said, "See you tonight."

The man's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't reprimand her and spoke indulgently, "Alright, go back now."

Ye Nuannuan didn't forget to wave goodbye to Jiang Yan and Su Jian, "Bye-bye."

Then she walked away satisfied.

Su Jian was about to look away when she accidentally met Zhou Lu's eyes; she quickly averted her gaze, looking somewhat unnatural.

Zhou Lu passed by her with a composed demeanor.

Beside her, Jiang Yan said meaningfully, "You seem to have been purposely avoiding Zhou Lu these past few days?"

"Why would I avoid him?" Su Jian denied.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, exposing her, "That boyfriend abroad is fake, isn't he?"

Su Jian glanced at her, "Wanna bet?"

Jiang Yan stated seriously, "Forget it, I don't want you to go bankrupt if you lose."

Su Jian: "..."

A few days later, Su Jian was discharged from the hospital and immediately immersed herself in work, not bothering to rest.

Jiang Yan couldn't stand to watch, "Are you really putting your job before your own life?"

Su Jian waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry, I cherish my life a lot. I'd be lying down at home anyway, might as well lie down in the office where people can serve me tea and water."

Jiang Yan could not persuade her, so she only asked the staff to keep a closer eye on her.

Foreign celebrities who had worked with Su Jian previously recommended her to their star friends in China once they knew she had returned to develop her career here. Several third-tier female celebrities specifically came to have Su Jian shoot portraits for them; they were all very satisfied with the finished products, and the photos received unanimous praise online.

Naturally, attention shifted to this emerging photographer.

This allowed Su Jian to make a small name for herself in the country, and her studio's bookings were immediately filled up.

On Friday night, Su Jian took her entire staff for a dinner and afterwards, they went to a bar to dance.

Slightly tipsy, encouraged by her colleagues, Su Jian took off her jacket and danced vigorously in the dance floor in a black sequined top and jeans. Her figure was already good, and she didn't need to show much skin to be the embodiment of sexiness.

The black outfit enhanced Su Jian's bewitching charm, her slender waist swaying under the neon lights, her eyes brimming with allure, eliciting continuous screams that were deafening.

Nobody noticed that in the darkness, a pair of eyes were staring intently at her.
