"You’re only looking for me now because you must explain things to your parents, right? Isn’t it because they’re pressuring you? And you dare swear to me that you are free of all those messy affairs? Then what’s the deal with Li Yan?"
Jiang Feng panicked instantly: "Wife, how... how did you know? It’s not what you think, we... oh no, she and I have only a superior-subordinate relationship!"
"It must have been Old Chen’s wife who told you, right? Last time when we were reassigning posts, he was competing with me, so he has always held a grudge against me. Don’t listen to his wife!"
"It wasn’t her who told me; I saw it with my own eyes! Alright, Jiang Feng, I don’t want to talk anymore. You better leave, and leave the keys behind too..."
Before Jiang Feng could respond, Chu Yi hurriedly hung up the phone.
At this moment, Zhang Jingdong showed concern: "Sister Chu, after such a long phone call, you must be thirsty?"
Chu Yi met his gaze, immediately understood the implication of his words, and shyly yet happily nodded: "Mm."
Zhang Jingdong immediately handed her a bottle of drink.
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully making a creative contact with the target person in a special environment, award of 2 million yuan!"
Chu Yi shyly and happily drank the beverage, then got up and went to the bathroom.
Upon returning, she couldn’t help saying, "You were so bold just now, I almost gave us away..."
Zhang Jingdong smirked: "Don’t worry, you were so assertive towards him just now, he definitely didn’t dare think otherwise!"
"Besides, wasn’t he the one who made a mistake first? Even if he were to discover, he really has no right to criticize you."
Seeing that Chu Yi was still somewhat uneasy, Zhang Jingdong leaned in and wrapped an arm around her shoulders: "Also, didn’t you feel a bit... a happiness you’ve never felt before?"
Chu Yi thought for a moment and then shyly nodded: "...Jingdong, does this mean I’m a bit twisted?"
Zhang Jingdong chuckled: "It’s totally normal. Haven’t you ever watched a Japanese romance movie when you were alone?"
"And even if you haven’t seen those, surely, you’ve seen ’The Bridges of Madison County’ or ’Titanic’? Those films advocate that true love is innocent!"
Hearing this, Chu Yi suddenly realized: "Well, when you put it that way... it really is!"
Just as she finished speaking, Zhang Jingdong’s phone suddenly rang.
Zhang Jingdong tensed and picked up to see, it was indeed Lin Xiran.
Chu Yi noticed something odd in Zhang Jingdong’s eyes and teasingly said: "Is it a girl? Boss Zhang, you just lectured me, now it’s your turn, you wouldn’t dare pick up, would you?"
Zhang Jingdong laughed carelessly: "Not only will I pick up, but I will also put it on speaker, we must let you see what it means to truly dare to play!"
Zhang Jingdong spoke and pressed the answer button, then switched to speaker.
"My dear, the rain has stopped. When do you plan to come see me?"
"I’ll try to reach your school before 7."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
"What are you wearing today?"
"Then it must be short."
"My man is so smart!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi deliberately bit down on Zhang Jingdong’s arm.
However, Zhang Jingdong not only didn’t hold back, he exclaimed "Ouch," which actually startled Chu Yi.
And on the other end, Lin Xiran immediately showed concern: "What’s wrong? Are you okay?"
"It’s nothing, I set up an aquarium in my office, and got some tropical fish. I just got bitten by one of them while feeding them."
