As He Jieyu finished speaking, the once noisy private room instantly fell silent.
Zhang Jingdong clearly didn’t expect this girl to pull such a move, and it took him a whole two seconds to react.
He Jieyu interrupted before he could finish: "You what? I just accepted your confession and then you pull this on me, Zhang Jingdong, is this appropriate?"
Zhang Jingdong immediately laughed and then quickly played along with the plot: "Weren’t you just not accepting me? So you were playing hard to get, huh?"
"I was testing you, but I didn’t expect you couldn’t even handle such a small test!"
Zhang Jingdong then walked over: "If you put it that way, then I didn’t do anything just now."
"They are all your friends, I was just saying hello to everyone and introducing myself, if you don’t believe me, Lin Qingci can testify for me!"
Seeing that the guy had left those girls, He Jieyu decided to give him an out and immediately turned to Lin Qingci: "Qingci, is that so?"
Lin Qingci was inexplicably dragged into this, but somehow, maybe for the sake of their relationship.
So she confusedly started to help Zhang Jingdong lie: "Oh... right, Mr. Zhang is your boyfriend after all, so everyone just wants to get to know him a bit."
At this, Lin Qingci looked towards the others: "Ladies, right? Mr. Zhang is Jieyu’s boyfriend, so no matter how great he is, we can’t have any ideas about him!"
No one dared to offend He Jieyu, and even more so didn’t dare offend Zhang Jingdong, so they all nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, Jieyu, don’t get the wrong idea, we’re just a bit curious about your boyfriend."
"Jieyu, you finally found a boyfriend, congratulations, congrats!"
"Jieyu, you finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. You never dated before, and now you’ve found such an excellent boyfriend like Mr. Zhang. Honestly, I’m really envious!"
"Jieyu, no wonder you got us such great discounts at The One Bar before, turns out you’re the owner’s wife, you’ve been hiding this so well!"
When He Jieyu heard the first two lines, she still had some doubts about Zhang Jingdong, but as she listened to the latter, she gradually blushed with a hint of pride.
Although she had always been the undisputed center of attention in this circle, she hadn’t had a boyfriend before, so people often teased her about it and even tried to teach her tips for dating.
Deep down, He Jieyu was a proud person and naturally didn’t want to hear those things, but there was nothing she could do, she hadn’t had a boyfriend.
But now, thanks to Zhang Jingdong, she had suddenly turned the tables completely, and frankly, at this moment, she quite enjoyed everyone’s compliments.
Zhang Jingdong noticed this and came over to her side, naturally putting his arm around her fragrant shoulders.
Since you want to pretend to be my girlfriend and enjoy the glory of being my girlfriend, you naturally have to pay a price.
He Jieyu noticed the playful threat in Zhang Jingdong’s eyes, knowing if she dodged now, he might expose her story, so she just didn’t dare to move away.
Zhang Jingdong smoothly wrapped his arm around her shoulders and then said to everyone: "Since everyone is here, I ask all of you to witness this for me today."
"He Jieyu is now officially my girlfriend, and I promise to treat her well. I’d also appreciate it if you keep an eye on her for me, don’t let her flirt with other guys!"
With this move, Zhang Jingdong completely blocked off He Jieyu’s retreat.
At the same time, this statement successfully amused everyone.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Zhang, our Jieyu is a good girl. She’s never dated before, you must be her first love, and I believe she’ll treat you well too!"
"Mr. Zhang, Jieyu is undoubtedly the most beautiful girl in our circle. You’ve won a great prize today, so you’d better treat our Jieyu well!"
"Mr. Zhang, you and Jieyu are a perfect match, a marriage made in heaven. I sincerely wish you a lifetime of happiness together!"
He Jieyu suddenly realized she might have played this too far; everyone seemed to really believe she and Zhang Jingdong were together.
But she knew it was too late to regret now.
At that moment, she glanced at Zhang Jingdong and saw that he was not the least bit flustered but rather seemed quite cozy, so she quickly relaxed too.
Tch... since you’re not afraid as the boyfriend, what do I have to fear as the one without a boyfriend.
Moreover, this guy really gave her face as a boyfriend, and now she even gained the title of the owner’s wife of The One Bar.
Thinking of that, her smile became more and more natural.
So she said: "Thank you all for your blessings, and I also wish all of you brothers and sisters to find your own happiness soon!"
"Alright, let’s return to today’s main topic and all wish Lin Qingci a happy birthday together!"
Everyone chimed in agreement again. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel•fire.net
"Happy Birthday, Qingci, may you have such a day every year and find a boyfriend as excellent as Mr. Zhang soon!"
"Happy Birthday, Qingci, I wish you always happiness and forever beauty!"
