"No need, let’s just stay at this one!" Liu Han Yan instinctively wanted to agree, but as the words reached her lips, she suddenly changed her mind without knowing why.
She seed sowhat unwilling to concede, looking at Xiao Zheng with a hint of defiance as if to say, "Am I supposed to be afraid of you?"
In her opinion, Xiao Zheng had intentionally arranged for them to stay at this hotel, but it didn’t matter—if they stayed, so be it. What difference did it make?
Xiao Zheng, not bothering to engage with her, swiftly booked a room for Liu Han Yan and then turned to ask, "We need to buy so things next. Considering our current situation, I doubt you’d want to stay with . So, do you want to shop by yourself?"
"Why?" Liu Han Yan raised her eyebrows. "Leng Ruobing asked you to accompany , so you have to stick with ."
At this mont, Liu Han Yan was like a competitive rooster, feeling that Xiao Zheng was deliberately toying with her, and she was not willing to back down.
If she really let Xiao Zheng leave, would he think she was scared?
Sotis, won’s thoughts can really be peculiar.
Xiao Zheng smirked and said, "Suit yourself. Let’s just go and get the shopping done."
Xiao Zheng had the look of soone eager to finish shopping quickly and make his escape.
"What’s with that expression? Does going shopping with make you that uncomfortable?" Liu Han Yan stomped her foot in anger.
It should be known that abroad, there were long queues of young talents pursuing Liu Han Yan.
How did it co to this with Xiao Zheng? Moreover, regardless of everything, she technically gave her first ti to this guy.
Even though she agreed there was no need for responsibility, there was no reason to act so dismissive of her, right?
This made Liu Han Yan even more annoyed.
As she lifted her head, she noticed Xiao Zheng, seemingly oblivious to her words, had already gone out to start the car. This made Liu Han Yan nearly explode with rage.
She never considered herself a person with a hot temper. As the eldest daughter from a prestigious family, she had received an elite education since childhood, always presenting herself as a business queen wherever she went.
She believed that with her temperant, even if faced with a major crisis, she could maintain absolute composure. But ever since she encountered Xiao Zheng, she found herself on the verge of ltdown several tis.
Originally, Liu Han Yan still thought the sa way, but she suppressed those thoughts. However, due to Xiao Zheng’s indifferent attitude toward her, she couldn’t help herself.
While shopping, Liu Han Yan kept chirping in Xiao Zheng’s ear, to which Xiao Zheng occasionally responded while shopping.
Xiao Zheng thought it simply and didn’t harbor any bad feelings toward Liu Han Yan. She was Leng Ruobing’s close friend, and after all, they had shared an intimate mont.
Taking care was necessary, but due to Liu Han Yan’s unstable emotions, Xiao Zheng just wanted to keep his distance as much as possible.
Ah, won, those strange creatures.
It was precisely Xiao Zheng’s indifferent attitude that intensified Liu Han Yan’s doubts.
Holding the items Liu Han Yan had picked out, Xiao Zheng asked the shopkeeper, "How much for these things?"
"Oh, buying so many things for your girlfriend?" The shopkeeper said with a wide smile.
Buying so many things at once, of course, made the shopkeeper happy.
Xiao Zheng was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "You’ve misunderstood, boss. She’s not my girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Liu Han Yan’s eyes imdiately widened.
She reached out and smacked the items from Xiao Zheng’s hands with a slap, coldly saying, "What? Are you ashad to have as your girlfriend?"
Seeing the scattered items, Xiao Zheng’s temper flared up instantly.
He abruptly turned to Liu Han Yan, grabbed her wrist, and the indifference in his eyes sent a chill through Liu Han Yan’s heart.
At that mont, Xiao Zheng lost his usual lazy deanor, and a violent aura erupted around him like a storm!
"Woman, I warn you, don’t push your luck. What happened last night was purely an accident, and as you said, it’s in the past. From the mont I left the hotel this morning, we were strangers. Now it’s only because of Leng Ruobing that I know you. I can tolerate you once or twice, but I won’t keep doing so. My patience has limits, understand?"
Each word was clear and unmistakable!
What kind of look was that? Severe, stern, and it suddenly made Liu Han Yan behave. Xiao Zheng’s gaze made her sowhat fearful.
Releasing Liu Han Yan’s hand, Xiao Zheng bent down to pick up the items from the floor and paid for them again.
During this ti, Liu Han Yan finally fell silent.
She suddenly felt a bit wronged. From childhood to adulthood, she was used to being strong and had never been treated like this before.
Xiao Zheng was clearly angry, but she still couldn’t bring herself to swallow her pride.
After a brief silence, she spoke again. Although she still had that superior deanor, her words were noticeably milder.
Sitting in the car, Liu Han Yan said, "Ruobing is my best friend."
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng responded.
Liu Han Yan turned her head to look at Xiao Zheng, studying his profile carefully for a long while before continuing, "So, are you two really married?"
"Of course," Xiao Zheng replied matter-of-factly.
"That’s not right. As far as I know, you two are just contractually married, aren’t you?" Liu Han Yan said with a knowing smile.
"Then why ask if you know?"
"Why not? I just like to ask," Liu Han Yan said smugly, raising an eyebrow.
Though the two continued their verbal sparring, it wasn’t as excessive as before because of Xiao Zheng’s prior outburst. Liu Han Yan had sowhat reined herself in.
It seed her earlier intentions weren’t as intense.
Won are indeed strange creatures.
Soon, the two returned to the hotel. Xiao Zheng brought up the items Liu Han Yan had bought and quickly helped her tidy up.
"Alright then, I’ll be going. You’ll have to stay in the hotel for a few days. In a few days, Ruobing will sort out your accommodation," Xiao Zheng said, looking around and confirming there was nothing else he could help with before planning to leave.
As he closed the door behind him and turned to leave, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, forcefully shoving him.
Unprepared, Xiao Zheng’s body hit the door with a thud.
Frowning slightly, he looked up to see five n in black suits standing in front of him.
The leader had a strange totem tattoo on his bald head, wore a beret, and had a bull-like physique, his muscles knotted tightly. He was glaring at Xiao Zheng, and it was clear he was the one who had shoved him.
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. These five carried an ominous aura, with shining eyes and sharp features, clearly martial artists!
