  Zhao Anan did not decline Zheng Jing’s offer, only because he offered to keep her company while shopping and eating and also agreed to pay for everything that she will buy. This way Zhao Anan will not need to spend on anything.

  It was a wonderful proposal for Zhao Anan, who was currently obsessed with money.

  So they went shopping, and Zhao Anan kept buying stuff, making Zheng Jing swipe the card again and again. He could feel his heart drip blood.

  They even got mistaken for a couple, especially when they were at the restaurant.

  The waitress advised them kind heartedly. “Lady, what about ordering a couple set meal with your boyfriend? It is less costly than ordering dishes separately, and we offer free ice cream, too.”


  Zhao Anan might be obsessed with money, but she would not want to cause a misunderstanding. So she said with displeasure, instantly, “He is not my boyfriend, he is my best friend’s boyfriend!”


  That waitress’s smile stiffened.

  How could there be such a shameless woman in this world?

  She dared to bring her best friend’s boyfriend out for lunch and even shouted it out to the world.

  Zheng Jing was speechless. This woman truly had no idea how to talk. She was causing more and more misunderstandings with her behaviour.

  But he did not intend to explain anything. It was all a part of Shangguan Ning’s plan and it would be better if there were many people misunderstanding them.

  As long as Zheng Lun did not misunderstand them, everything was fine.

  The guests sitting next to them started to whisper.

  “Oh god, this girl is terrible! She is having lunch with her best friend’s boyfriend.”


  “We must watch out for our best friend. One shouldn’t have such a best friend who will rob you of your boyfriend!”


  “The man is horrible too. He is going around with two girls at the same time. His girlfriend would get very upset if she ever gets to know about it.”
……

  Zhao Anan could hear their whispers. She stood up abruptly and went up to them, trying to reason with them. Zheng Jing went after her and pulled her away.

  “Zheng Jing, stop pulling me away. I will kill these gossip mongers. They know nothing and only keep spreading rumours around. They are ruining my reputation. How can I ever fall for a strong man like you?”


  “My dear lady, can’t you just calm down?” Zheng Jing ignored her mean words and held her tightly so that she could not move. “Can’t you just say that we are ordinary friends? Why do you always have to add that I am your best friend’s boyfriend? That is the very cause of all the misunderstandings.”


  “But you are my best friend’s boyfriend. Why can’t I say that?!” Zhao Anan got angry.

  Her face flushed as if she were going to rip those people apart.

  After she calmed down slightly, she suddenly realised that she was in Zheng Jing’s arms. She screamed instantly, “Zheng Jing, you hooligan! Get your hands off me. You are touching my belly.”


  Zheng Jing released his arms. He had been in Zhao Anan’s company for just half a day, but it was already much more exhausting than catching the worst criminals.

  How on earth did Mu Qing survive with Zhao Anan for so many years? He was the actual strong man.

  Zheng Lun was the best girl he had met. She never caused trouble and thought about him all the time.

  “Let’s go to another place. I more or less know what you like to eat, I can do the ordering there.”


  Zheng Jing had gotten really hungry after spending so much time with her.

  Before Zhao Anan could protest, a strong man, even stronger than Zheng Jing, came and stood in front of her.

  “Anan.” The man called out to her in a firm voice.

  Zhao Anan’s eyes widened in surprise. She said, “Muscular man? What are you doing here? No, no, wait! What did you just call me?”


  Knife Lee stared at her and called out in an expressionless voice. “Anan.”


  Zhao Anan felt the hair on her neck stand up when she heard him calling her in this way. “No, please, we are not that close. I wanted to take revenge, but now I can’t since you are with my cousin. I will definitely create trouble for you when I get the next opportunity.”


  Knife Lee stayed silent for a moment and then suddenly said, “How can I make you stop blaming me any further? Just do what you want to.”


  Zhao Anan looked at him, weirdly. “You are here to let me take my revenge from you? Why are you being so considerate?”


  Knife Lee shook his head. “No, I am here for something else, but if you want to take revenge, I won’t dodge. You can do anything you want.”


  Zhao Anan found the whole thing weird, so did Zheng Jing.

  He got a bit confused. Did Shangguan Ning send Knife Lee to please Zhao Anan? He hadn’t been informed about this part.

  But this seemed to be the case. Otherwise Knife Lee would not have said such words.

  Zhao Anan was confused as well. “What are you really doing here?”


  Knife Lee looked at Zhao Anan calmly and said, “I heard that you broke up with Doctor Mu. So are you single now?”


  Zhao Anan did not understand what was going on, so she nodded. “Yes, we broke up. Why?”


  “Well, I ] wanted to ask you if you can be my girlfriend?”


  Zhao Anan’s eyes widened. “What did you just say?!”


  “I know that it is a bit sudden.” Knife Lee was normally very silent. But today, he had broken the rules.

  “But I am worried that you would get together with someone else if I don’t say it now.” He looked at Zheng Jing standing next to her. His words made Zheng Jing smile bitterly.

  “I have always liked you. I spent half a year with you and found you to be very nice. We are perfectly matched with each other. I want you to be my girlfriend. Can it happen?”


  Zhao Anan was petrified.

  Knife Lee liked her? It was impossible!

  Weren’t they the worst enemies? He was pathetic.

  Zheng Jing found that although Knife Lee looked ordinary in daily life, he had turned out to be a good actor. What a skilled man!

  Zhao Anan had not got so many confessions in her life, and she was not quite experienced in dealing with the situation.

  Good that she had Zheng Jing with her.

  She held Zheng Jing’s arm and looked at Knife Lee disdainfully. “I won’t be your girlfriend. You want me to be your girlfriend after you imprisoned me for half a year? That’s impossible. Also, I have a new boyfriend, now. Look at my new man, he is much better looking than my old boyfriend and you. Just leave from here, otherwise my new boyfriend will get angry.”


  Since when did Zheng Jing become her “new boyfriend”? He had no idea how to continue with what was happening.

  Shangguan Ning had not included this part in her plan.

  What was this Knife Lee doing here with his confession?
