Chapter 223: Chapter 0223 Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan_1
Instead of answering, Zhang Bin asked warily, "And who might you be? You’re not a spy, are you?"
He figured that this woman, being so secretive and covered up so thoroughly, was almost certainly a spy, or perhaps even a fugitive on the run.
The woman was momentarily stunned before she burst into a coquettish laugh, her body trembling like a flower in the wind. After laughing for a long moment, she plopped down on the sofa and propped her long, enticing legs on the coffee table. She looked at Zhang Bin and an embarrassed Su Man with a scrutinizing gaze and said seriously, "Both of you, give it to me straight. What exactly is your relationship? And what were you just doing?"
"Cousin, will you ever stop?" Su Man said exasperatedly. "He’s a doctor, and he was just giving me a physical examination. It’s definitely not what you’re thinking."
"A doctor? An examination? Who are you trying to fool?" the woman said, her face full of doubt.
"Dr. Zhang, please don’t be angry. My cousin has too many rumors swirling around her, so she’s a bit paranoid," Su Man said, shooting the beautiful woman a glare before turning to Zhang Bin with an apologetic look.
Zhang Bin gave a magnanimous shrug, indicating he wouldn’t stoop to her level, but his confusion was growing. He suddenly realized that she looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen her before.
"Sigh, it’s not always a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful. There are just too many rumors. All I have to do is glance at a man, and a scandal about us will start spreading," the woman sighed, waving Zhang Bin over. "Hey, handsome, have a seat. Haven’t you recognized me yet?"
"Do I know you?" Zhang Bin asked, astonished as he sat down on the sofa.
"You’ll recognize me in a moment."
With a graceful gesture, the woman removed her facemask and sunglasses, revealing a face as lovely as a blooming flower. She waited, expecting Zhang Bin to cry out in shock.
Even Su Man, who had been busy making tea, paused to watch Zhang Bin with a teasing expression.
Zhang Bin’s gaze grew intense, his eyes locked on the woman’s face, unable to look away.
Her face was so beautiful it seemed to possess a bewitching magic, capable of drawing in a person’s very Soul and pulling them into an abyss from which they might never awaken.
In that moment, Zhang Bin, a youth who usually favored busty women, completely forgot to look at her chest, utterly captivated by her stunning face.
After staring for a long time, he finally managed to snap out of it and asked in confusion, "Beauty, have we met in a dream? Why else would you look so familiar?"
"Are you sure you’re not joking?" the beautiful woman asked, taken aback.
"I remember now! I really have seen you in my dreams. You were my girlfriend in them," Zhang Bin said with a sudden flash of realization.
"Sounds like you were having a wet dream, Dr. Zhang," Su Man teased as she also sat down on the sofa.
"It wasn’t a wet dream. I have dreams like that in spring, summer, autumn, and winter," Zhang Bin said earnestly.
The beautiful woman could no longer hold back and burst into a fit of giggles, her laughter as lovely as a silver bell. "Cousin, where on earth did you find such a character? Does he really not recognize me?"
"Isn’t it better that he doesn’t? Now you can relax," Su Man said with a playful laugh.
"Beauty, should I know you? What’s your name? What’s your phone number? Where do you live?" Zhang Bin fired off the questions like a machine gun.
An even stranger expression appeared on the beauty’s face, but of course, she had no intention of telling Zhang Bin who she was.
Su Man said with envy, "Cousin, your charm is truly unmatched. Even the lofty Dr. Zhang has been swept off his feet by your beauty."
The beauty hugged Su Man tightly and giggled in her ear, "Cousin, still not admitting your relationship with him? Your words just now gave you away—I could practically taste the jealousy. Tell me, when did you two get together? How many times have you slept together?"
"Twice, but nothing happened," Su Man replied coyly. "It was for a physical examination."
"No way! You’ve slept together twice and nothing happened? Are you even a man? How can you remain indifferent to such a beautiful woman?" The beauty cast a doubtful look at Zhang Bin.
If you hadn’t interrupted, Su Man and I would be getting intimate right now, Zhang Bin grumbled to himself. The thought of how this woman had ruined his good time soured his mood, and he said gruffly, "When it comes to my abilities in that department, if I say I’m second, no one would dare claim to be first. Beauty, that’s a Realm you couldn’t possibly comprehend, not even in your dreams."
"You men love to boast about your skills, but in reality, it’s all over in a minute."
The beauty gave Zhang Bin a disdainful look, making him want to howl with frustration.
"Mind your image, cousin," Su Man whispered from the side.
"It doesn’t matter, he doesn’t know who I am anyway," the beauty said nonchalantly. "Pretending to be a chaste maiden every day is exhausting."
"Cousin, you came all this way in such a hurry. It wasn’t just to see me, was it?" Su Man asked, peeling an apple and handing it to her.
"I came for two reasons. One, to rest for a few days, and two, to shoot an advertisement," the beauty said.
"Wow... so you’re about to rake in another fortune?" Su Man exclaimed with envy and admiration.
"It’s not much, just fifty million," the beauty said nonchalantly.
It was as if fifty million was no different from five dollars to her, hardly worth mentioning.
If this were in the past, Zhang Bin would have assumed the woman was just bragging. However, just last night, Liu Ruolan had told him they were spending fifty million to have Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan shoot an advertisement for the Network Language School. Because of this, Zhang Bin was starting to believe her. The woman was not only stunningly beautiful, but her demeanor was also noble; she truly seemed like a major star.
Could she be Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan?
He looked at her with suspicion, studying her carefully while immediately having Tutu look up her information.
The search results came back quickly. The woman was, in fact, Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan, China’s most popular superstar, with an uncountable number of fans. She was here this time to shoot an advertisement for Wenwu Pharma.
Zhang Bin was stunned beyond measure. Su Man’s cousin is actually Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan? This has to be a massive secret! No wonder Su Man is so beautiful. If this were the past, I would have tried every trick in the book to get close to the Empress and become one of her rumored boyfriends. But now? Now, the Empress is about to take fifty million from me for a single, tiny advertisement. The thought made his head, his heart, and his wallet ache. He desperately wanted to give her a good, hard spanking.
He was thoroughly annoyed, and his eyes darted about as he began scheming to get the money back.
