After saying that, the woman looked at Tang Song with a disdainful expression and raised an eyebrow: "Is that right, Tang Song?"

"If you don't understand the difference between criminal police and regular police officers, you can look it up online. There's no need to show off your ignorance in front of me."

“You…” The woman’s face flushed with shame and anger, and she glared at him furiously.

Tang Song didn't give her any extra expression, only looking at her with a cold expression: "You don't need to come up and greet me when you see me in the future. I have nothing to say to you. My girlfriend is coming soon. You can leave now."

"Girlfriend?" The woman scoffed immediately, saying sarcastically, "A man like you can find a girlfriend?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a slender, jade-like forearm appeared in Tang Song's arms.

Shen Ci stood close to Tang Song, a harmless smile on her face, and asked the woman in front of her, "And who is this auntie?"

The woman's eyes widened instantly, like saucers: "Who are you calling 'Auntie'?!"

"I'm calling you! Aren't you Auntie?" Shen Ci feigned ignorance, blinked, and then apologized, "I'm sorry, your makeup is too heavy, I couldn't tell your age at first glance. I just guessed because the 'DIOR' bag you're carrying looks like it's from a few years ago."

The woman's face turned from red to white with anger, but before she could lash out, Shen Ci noticed something astonishing. Her gaze fell on the bracelet on her wrist, and she exclaimed, "Wow, a Cartier limited edition bracelet?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Ci had such a sharp eye that she recognized the priceless bracelet on her wrist at a glance.

The woman's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a smug expression: "You do have some knowledge. That's right, this is a bracelet with only two thousand pieces made worldwide, a gift from my boyfriend."

As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Tang Song, trying to catch the shattered expression on his face.

However, Tang Song remained expressionless and showed no reaction whatsoever.

The woman's boyfriend, however, took the opportunity to show an arrogant expression, but his gaze towards Shen Ci was still filled with amazement. She was fair-skinned, beautiful, pure yet radiant, completely different from her heavily made-up girlfriend who only wanted to look sexy.

Any normal man would be unable to resist taking a second look.

"What a coincidence, Auntie! I have the same one too." Shen Ci said, showing off the bracelet on her wrist and asking doubtfully, "But why is there a slight color difference between yours and mine? Is yours fake?"

The woman's expression stiffened upon hearing this, and she blurted out, "How could that be? My boyfriend brought this back from Australia!"

However, there was indeed a noticeable color difference between the two bracelets. The one on Shen Ci's wrist was bright silver, while the one on the other person's wrist was noticeably darker, even somewhat reddish.

The woman, unsuspecting, looked at Shen Ci and sneered, "Isn't this one fake? It wasn't given to you by Tang Song, was it?"

"That makes sense. How could a stingy man like him possibly spend a hundred yuan on something so expensive as a gift?"

“Then you’ve misunderstood. I never need men to give me the things I like.” Shen Ci smiled and glanced at the woman in front of her with disdain before continuing, “But some people think they’ve hooked up with a rich pig, when in fact the designer brands they’re given are all fake.”

"I bought this bracelet from the offline flagship store last month. If you put in the effort to check, you can always tell who is real and who is fake."

"I didn't mean to mock you, I just don't want to see you wearing a fake item all day long and being smug about it. I wonder how many people who know their stuff have seen through it and laughed at you behind your back. It's kind of pathetic."

After saying that, Shen Ci smiled brightly and said, "No need to thank me, we'll be going now."

Then, arm in arm with Tang Song, she gracefully walked past the woman with the livid face and left without looking back.

The woman was trembling with anger. She had intended to provoke Tang Song, but she never expected to be humiliated by his new girlfriend.

"Honey, don't listen to her. How could I possibly buy you counterfeit goods?"

The man standing to the side suddenly felt guilty, but he still pretended to argue.

The woman turned around angrily and yelled, "Didn't you say you bought it from Australia because it was out of stock in China? Then why did she manage to buy one from a physical flagship store? I can easily tell if it's fake!"

"Oh dear, would I lie to you over a bracelet? Hers is the fake one, she's just trying to annoy you!"

The man was getting anxious; how could such a thing withstand close scrutiny? The reason he chose the counterfeit bracelet was because the genuine product was a limited edition worldwide, which greatly reduced the possibility of him having the same bracelet as the real thing.

Who would have thought that I would run into the original today?

Women are vain but not stupid; they argued fiercely with men in the mall over a bracelet.

Shen Ci and Tang Song had already entered the restaurant.

After sitting down, Tang Song looked at Shen Ci with unprecedented tenderness and affection. He knew that Shen Ci was never mean to others, and that she had just acted that way to vent her anger for him.

He didn't show it much on his face, but he was incredibly happy inside.

Shen Ci looked up and met his burning gaze, but only chuckled softly, "Your taste used to be terrible, didn't it?"

The woman was actually quite good-looking; Shen Ci only called her "auntie" and said she had heavy makeup just to annoy her.

But this woman is clearly dishonest. Tang Song, as a police officer, has a keener eye than the average person. How could he not see that?

Tang Song explained, "I did fall for it at first, but I quickly realized it and decisively broke up with him."

After saying that, he hesitated slightly, looked at Shen Ci and asked, "Baby, why do you never ask about my personal situation? It seems like you've never been curious about it."

"What do you mean?"

"For example, I'm just an ordinary police captain, but every time we go on a date, I take you to restaurants with high prices per person. Haven't you ever doubted my income?" Tang Song put it very bluntly; he was indeed curious.

"And what about my family situation, background, etc.? Don't you want to know?"

In her past interactions with the opposite sex, other girls would always subtly inquire about these things, but Shen Ci never asked.

Shen Ci laughed upon hearing this: "Aren't you conflicted yourself? If I actually ask, you'll get upset."

Then Shen Ci explained, "You will tell me what you want to say, or I don't mind if you don't. I'm dating you, not your family background. And dating is very simple to me. It's just that two people are attracted to each other, have a psychological resonance, and have physical feelings. That's enough."

"You don't need to explain your situation to me in such detail. I'm not picky about whether our dates are at fancy restaurants or budget eateries, as long as it's within your budget."

"Besides, I can pay the bill. As long as we're happy together, that's all that matters!"

However, Tang Song felt uneasy because Shen Ciyue was so simple and frank. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke up: "I was worried that you would blame me for not telling you anything."

"Don't worry, my own situation is complicated too, and I haven't told you anything about it either."
