Chapter: 2741
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang in Charlie Wade’s room. When he opened the door, he was greeted by a completely new He Zhiqiu. She was wearing a customized Chanel dress, along with leggings and white leather shoes. He Zhiqiu looked elegant and poised. In fact, her dress was similar to one worn by a popular European princess, showing off her style and taste.
However, what no one knew was that beneath her beautiful outfit, He Zhiqiu felt quite embarrassed because it was actually just an intricate set of underwear. Charlie Wade had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing her dressed so nicely, he couldn’t help but say with a hint of pride, “Oh, it looks like I have a good eye for fashion! This dress suits you perfectly!”
He Zhiqiu’s face turned bright red, all the way down to her neck. She thought, “The outside looks good, but the inside is completely wrong! I can’t tell if he’s being oblivious or if he really knows what he’s doing. If it’s the latter, that’s just too funny!” She also felt that the top part of her outfit was a bit too tight, making it hard to breathe. But she never dared to say any of that out loud.
Instead, she awkwardly nodded and said, “Thank you, Mr. Ye. The clothes and shoes are very nice.”
Charlie Wade nodded back, though he felt a little puzzled. He wondered if her clothes and shoes fit well, but he knew better than to ask about her underwear. So, he quickly changed the topic. “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
“Okay!” He Zhiqiu replied softly.
Charlie then asked Chen Zekai to bring him the car keys, and he drove He Zhiqiu to Jinling University.

As they drove through Jinling, He Zhiqiu couldn’t help but look around with curiosity. When they reached the city center, she exclaimed, “Jinling is just a second-tier city, but it’s developed so well! It feels different from an international metropolis…”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “China has been growing quickly in recent years. Besides the first-tier cities, there are many cities that are becoming first-tier. Jinling is now seen as a quasi-first-tier city.”
He Zhiqiu nodded, feeling impressed. “I used to think of Jinling as just a medium-sized city. I didn’t realize it had developed so much. It seems the reality here is very different from what the Western media shows.”
Charlie chuckled and said, “That’s true. The Western media tends to be negative, always focusing on the sour side of things.”
He Zhiqiu agreed, saying, “Yes, they love to report negative stories all the time.”
But as they talked, He Zhiqiu felt a bit uncomfortable. The negative thoughts made her feel down, so she decided to lighten the mood. “Mr. Ye, do you often buy underwear for your girlfriend?” she asked playfully.
Charlie was taken by surprise. He felt a bit awkward but replied, “Not really, today is actually the first time…”
“Really?!” He Zhiqiu pretended to be shocked.
Charlie nodded, “Yes, it’s true.”
She continued, “Do you feel embarrassed when you go into the store?”
Charlie sighed and said, “It’s pretty embarrassing. There are mannequins wearing all kinds of underwear everywhere. I just bought it and…”
He Zhiqiu nodded slightly and thought, “It seems that this style isn’t what Mr. Ye meant…”
Then she noticed Charlie Wade speaking a bit carefully. She couldn’t help but chuckle inside. “Even someone as powerful as Mr. Ye has moments of embarrassment…”
