"I like your cousin?" Luo Chao was a bit dumbfounded when he heard her suddenly say this, his face stiffening as he said, "When did I ever like your cousin?"
"Isn't it so?" Lanya's expression was sowhat resentful as she said, "Otherwise, why would soone as capable as you choose to work as a re employee at Tengyuan Group? If not to get close to my cousin, could it be for instead?"
Luo Chao's combat power was off the charts, and his dical skills were top-notch. His performance tonight was quite stunning—regardless of the skill, he should be able to find a job a hundred tis better than that of a lowly clerk.
Even though Lanya thought so, how could she know that a Soldier King who had survived countless life-and-death situations wouldn't care about money? Otherwise, from the beginning, Luo Chao wouldn't have beco an even lower-ranked security guard.
"Also, you said you have soone you like, it must be my cousin, right?" Lanya bit her red lip and said softly.
At this mont, Luo Chao didn't know what to say. He had a feeling in his heart that this little girl might have fallen for him, and this thought scared him. This was not good news!
"Minister Lan, I must admit, your imagination is quite rich," Luo Chao sighed and said, "Actually, I already have..."
"Don't speak, let show you sothing first," Lanya interrupted him, taking out her phone from her bag. After turning it on, she handed it to him.
The phone displayed a forum from Jiangning University's BBS forum, and the title of the post Lanya opened was actually "The School Belle's Shalessness: Willingly Kept by Soone." A picture in it made Luo Chao frown deeply; it was in a grove where Lanya was being held and kissed tightly by a man whose side face was visible.
Luo Chao imdiately recognized the man as himself. It was in that necessary mont after a slaughter that he had kissed Lanya, and the photo was taken at that very instant.
It had to be said that the picture only captured the upper bodies of Luo Chao and Lanya. If the whole scene had been shot, the countless corpses on the ground would have appeared, making it a horrifying picture, rather than a romantic one.
So, the person who took this photo had a very good grasp of angles.
Luo Chao asked coldly, "Who took this picture?"
The only people present at the ti were three: Ye Bing, Zhan Fei, and Ruan Qing. It must have been one of them. Although there was no signal on their phones at the ti, the cara function could still work, and one of them must have secretly taken it. Luo Chao's eyes filled with killing intent; he had saved them, yet they repaid him with betrayal like this.
"I think it must be Ruan Qing," Lanya said seriously.
It turns out that Minister Lan called him over mainly to discuss this matter. The only consolation was that Luo Chao's side face was barely visible, given the phone's low resolution, making it difficult to recognize him. If Ning Wanxi found out, he'd be in real trouble.
"Ruan Qing?" Luo Chao thought about it and agreed it could be her. She had used her friendship with Lanya to have her father scam Teng Yuan Group out of a batch of goods. Now, knowing her father's good deeds had been thwarted, she published this post in revenge out of anger.
Since returning from the Shennongjia Nature Reserve, a rift had ford between Lanya and Ruan Qing, and they no longer interacted. So, Ruan Qing simply tore off the mask, and all signs pointed to her.
"What should I do now?" Lanya's face turned crimson, unsure if it was from shyness or tension, as she asked Luo Chao. The question left Luo Chao dumbfounded as he looked at the countless replies below the post, indicating it had exploded at Jiangning University.
What could I do? Luo Chao was both amused and troubled. Even though he could erase a person's mory, he couldn't possibly wipe the mory of thousands of university students.
Feeling troubled, Luo Chao scratched his head: "Why don't you post an explanation, saying the photo is photoshopped?"
"There are plenty of computer experts at Jiangning University," Lanya said angrily, "Besides, an explanation would look like a cover-up, convincing others the photo is real."
Luo Chao sighed helplessly, "But we can't just sit and do nothing."
"There's only one way to solve this," Lanya's eyes showed a hint of shyness as she spoke softly.
Luo Chao couldn't help asking, "What way?"
Lanya lowered her head, her face growing redder, like a shy bride on her wedding night, too embarrassed to face anyone. Seeing her like this, Luo Chao's heart began to race. It seed her solution was the last thing he wanted to face.
Only to hear Lanya whisper softly, like a mosquito: "Be my boyfriend?"
"What did you say?" Luo Chao exclaid as if he'd been pricked by a needle, his eyes growing red with urgency.
No kidding—having his sister-in-law ask him to be her boyfriend, how could he live with that? Luo Chao lanted inwardly. Though he was a fake fiancé, he still needed to play the role well. How could the plot develop like this, inciting both gods and n?
Luo Chao could see that Lanya was so shy she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. It couldn't have been a joke; he was at a loss, not knowing when he had crossed paths with his sister-in-law.
Seeing Luo Chao's intense reaction, Lanya's heart trembled, and she shyly said, "Does being my boyfriend seem so hard for you?"
Lanya, as a proud daughter of heaven and the top beauty of Jiangning, stooped to confess to him, yet he acted as if avoiding plague. Imagining this, Lanya's eyes misted over.
"Not at all, it's just... I'm just a small clerk at a company. I don't deserve to be your boyfriend," Luo Chao said with so guilt, unable to et her soon-to-be teary and sorrowful face.
Lanya snarled in anger: "Then why did you spank , why did you kiss my butt, and why did you provoke if you didn't like ? Don't you like even a little bit?"
Luo Chao had always seen her as his sister-in-law, with not a trace of romantic feeling. Gritting his teeth, he knew hesitating would only lead to chaos. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Minister Lan, actually, I'm already married."
"You're married?" Lanya's shoulders trembled, feeling dizzy, and took several steps back. Luo Chao, afraid she would fall, hurriedly supported her.
Lanya's tears fell like broken pearls, a pitter-patter of emotion. Her heart broke and twisted in agony, with the pink of her fist landing on Luo Chao, "Luo Chao, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you."
