The Green Tea Supporting Girl Is Still Playing Her Role Today (GL) - Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Xie Zhifei happily drank the coffee Wen Pinghan paid for, held the cup with both hands, and grinned foolishly at her.

Wen Pinghan: “…”

Seeing the young lady’s silly look, she felt very conflicted.

“Finished work?” Wen Pinghan asked.

“Almost,” Xie Zhifei said.

“When do you plan to go back to work?” Wen Pinghan said, then realized she sounded like a boss checking on work.

Xie Zhifei, completely unaware, obediently replied, “I’ll go back when I’m done.”

“You’re free enough to drink coffee now,” Wen Pinghan paused, awkwardly touched her forehead, and thought she was too nosy. You’re just an employee, why meddle in the young lady’s business?!

“Is Sister trying to shoo me away?” Xie Zhifei’s eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips turned downward, looking pitiful and in need of soothing, “Do you think I’m disturbing your moment with Brother Gu?”

“No, no,” Wen Pinghan immediately denied, instinctively patted her head, and smoothed her hair, “Not disturbing, stay as long as you want. There’s nothing between me and Brother Gu, really, I swear.”

Xie Zhifei pursed her lips, then smiled at her, “Good, hehe.”

Such deep affection, Wen Pinghan sighed inwardly.

Not to mention that Gu Zhizhang couldn’t see through green tea tactics, even she, knowing Xie Zhifei was intentionally blocking Gu Zhizhang from getting close to her, still couldn’t get mad at her.

Men have no resistance to women who act soft and coy, and women do too!

She never knew how to act coy or obedient growing up, so facing such a pretty girl, she naturally couldn’t resist either.

At that moment, Gu Zhizhang returned after his call and asked, “Lifeng invited me to play tennis. I told him Ms. Wen was here, and he invited you along. Will you go, Ms. Wen?”

What a scheming guy! Xie Zhifei cursed inwardly.

When Zhao Xiaojing left today, she specifically told her she was going on a date with Lifeng, so Lifeng definitely wouldn’t invite Wen Pinghan himself. Most likely, Gu Zhizhang used Lifeng’s name to invite her, making it hard for Wen Pinghan to refuse a big client like Lifeng.

Sure enough, Wen Pinghan hesitated for a moment but agreed.

“Let’s go, I’ll drive you,” Gu Zhizhang said casually.

Wen Pinghan stood up, paused, and saw Xie Zhifei wasn’t moving. Curiously, she asked, “You’re not going?”

“Huh? Can I go?” Xie Zhifei asked.

“Why not? Aren’t you friends with both of them?” Wen Pinghan said, and aren’t you worried about me going to play tennis with Gu Zhizhang?

“Right, Brother Gu, can I go?” Xie Zhifei immediately asked Gu Zhizhang with a bright smile.

“Sure, one more won’t hurt. Let’s go,” Gu Zhizhang said.

After the three got in the car, Gu Zhizhang glanced at the empty front passenger seat, sighed quietly, and looked at Wen Pinghan through the rearview mirror. She was taking selfies with Xie Zhifei, a calm smile on her face, and the sense of distance seemed to vanish instantly.

It seems Zhifei’s strategy to befriend her worked well.

“Come, Sister, one more,” Xie Zhifei kept snapping photos.

Wen Pinghan’s face was stiff from smiling and reminded her, “We’ve already taken over ten photos.”

“Fine, next time then,” Xie Zhifei put her phone away, “Are you bored, Sister? Want me to chat with you?”

“I’m fine.”

“Sleepy?”

“I’m fine.”

When Xie Zhifei quieted down, the car became completely silent, eerily so.

Wen Pinghan suddenly realized why Xie Zhifei kept taking selfies with her as soon as they got in the car—it was to keep her occupied and avoid awkwardness, unlike now, when she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Gu Zhizhang’s fingers twitched, trying to find something to talk about, but before he could speak, Wen Pinghan asked, “Want to take more selfies?”

Gu Zhizhang: ??

Are selfies that irresistible to women?!

“Yay!” Xie Zhifei happily pulled out her phone again, made funny faces with her, and pushed Wen Pinghan’s nose, creating a pig face in the camera.

Wen Pinghan: “…”

Xie Zhifei burst into laughter, showed her the photo, and said, “If you don’t like it, I’ll delete it right away.”

Wen Pinghan looked at the goofy photo, completely unflattering, then at the young lady laughing so hard tears were streaming, and smiled helplessly, “Keep it.”

“Great, I’ll send it to you.”

When they reached the destination, the three entered the tennis court and saw Lifeng and Zhao Xiaojing chatting by the court.

“Zhifei!” Zhao Xiaojing waved at her, but when she glanced at Gu Zhizhang and Wen Pinghan, she pouted in disdain, slapped Lifeng, and whispered, “It’s your fault for calling Gu Zhizhang.”

Lifeng looked innocent but still got up to greet the group. After some small talk, they started playing.

The three women stepped back to the sidelines, letting the men play first.

Zhao Xiaojing nudged Xie Zhifei, but seeing Wen Pinghan right beside her, where whispers would likely be overheard, she held back her questions to ask later.

“What?” Xie Zhifei turned and asked.

“Nothing, just bored sitting here,” Zhao Xiaojing said.

“Bored?” Xie Zhifei readily pulled out her phone, “Let’s all take selfies then!”

Zhao Xiaojing: “???” Are you crazy? Are we that close?!

Wen Pinghan: “…”

Wen Pinghan now couldn’t help but suspect the young lady was simply addicted to selfies.
