“I remember that the first time we met together, you didn’t even look her straight in the face. Yet, you were able to invite her to join you today? So, was it because you etched her looks right into your mind despite not looking her straight in the face, or was it because you had already known her beforehand and were pretending that you didn’t that day?” Qian Xun rapped at Shi Ze’s chest while speaking.
This looked completely like a couple that was flirting with one another.
“Of course not! After you introduced us, I coincidentally bumped into her again. It was at the birthday party of that missy of the Liu Family. When I bumped into her today, I saw that she was lost, and thought about how she had helped you before, hence the offer to hitch her over.” To everyone else, Shi Ze’s voice might sound cold, but it was actually filled with warmth.
“Oh, is that so?” Qian Xun furrowed her brows instinctively. “But, why do I get the feeling that you seem to be treating her differently from when we first met?”
“Are you telling me a cold joke?” Shi Ze held Qian Xun’s hand.
The latter did not stop him as she chuckled out, as though it was truly a ridiculous joke. However, her gaze was somewhat dark and contained a trace of coldness in them.
She asked frostily, “Shi Ze, you like Shi Guang?”
Shi Ze stifled a chuckle and reversed the question. “I remember that we once discussed about how we were working partners before and that all we had to do was showcase ourlovey-dovey-ness every once in a while… I don’t think our relationship is at that level for us to be discussing something as such.”
His tone was calm as though he was talking about something casual, yet he looked at Qian Xun with a sharp gaze.
“Right, you’re absolutely right! But don’t forget, you can be with anyone… just not Shi Guang. You have to keep your distance from her.” Qian Xun said while leaning in. From the way she was standing, the angle was as if both of them were kissing.
Shi Ze was the only one who could see the killing intent that was exuding forth from the cold expression of this woman who was portraying a warm image to the rest of the world! He laughed. “This way, you’re going to have me believe that you fell in love with me. That’ll be troubling.”
Qian Xun knitted her brows and replied with certainty, “You can set your heart at ease. I don’t have the slightest interest in you.”
She then showed her first finger and shook it left and right.
“Then why would you be bothered about whom I’m thinking about?” Shi Ze asked, “As long as I don’t cause any trouble, it’s perfectly reasonable for me to look for anyone.”
“Perfectly reasonable? If I want to look for a man, how would it be like if I went looking for your best friend?” Qian Xun’s tone was gentle, yet it rendered Shi Ze speechless.
The two of them remained silent for the longest period of time before acting lovey-dovey once more.
“Seems like dinner’s canceled tonight then, eh?”
“Doesn’t matter! Guess we showed enough lovey-dovey-ness… I’m going now.”
“Sure! I don’t know what time I’m going to get off filming as well.” Qian Xun stood up and sent Shi Ze out.
When Shi Ze hopped onto the car, she remarked straightforwardly, “After everything that happened today, I’m sure Shi Guang will take a detour each time she sees you. That’s good as well. She’s a simple person who is not suited for complicated relationships such as ours. Besides, she’s already married. And most important of all, she does not like you at all.”
Shi Ze was stunned for a moment—he had not thought that Qian Xun would see through him completely.
This woman seemed as though she was heartless and merciless on the surface with nothing more than cunningness, but she had a delicate heart.
What a pity though! He did not like women with cunning brains, much less someone with looks as seductive as a devil!
