Chapter 915: Chapter 915: I Can’t Be Just an Extra, Right? Chapter 915: Chapter 915: I Can’t Be Just an Extra, Right? (Two additional chapters will be added tomorrow, Sunday)
Ding Chaohui left after he saw Chen Xiaoyi kiss Luo Ziling on her own initiative; overwheld with sha and indignation, he left abruptly.
He didn’t say goodbye to Chen Xiaoyi nor did he say anything else; he just turned and left, very decisively.
After an awkward kiss with Chen Xiaoyi, Luo Ziling looked up and didn’t see Ding Chaohui, unable to refrain from exclaiming in surprise, “Where is he?”
“Seems like he left,” Chen Xiaoyi said with a flushed face, glancing outside the western restaurant, then added softly, “Never mind him, let’s continue with our al.”
Chen Xiaoyi herself hadn’t expected to kiss Luo Ziling on her own initiative in the restaurant, under the gaze of other patrons, right under Ding Chaohui’s watch. Her first kiss had been impulsively given, which seed incredible to her in hindsight.
Her heart and breathing raced, her head felt sowhat empty, and her limbs were weak; these were the feelings she experienced during the kiss with Luo Ziling—her whole body was trembling.
“Alright, I think we both lost so face today,” Luo Ziling said with a wry smile looking at Chen Xiaoyi, “In such a classy restaurant, to argue publicly, with two n being jealous over a woman, is quite embarrassing, isn’t it?”
“Regardless, no one knows you here; it’s who’s embarrassed,” Chen Xiaoyi responded with a shy smile to Luo Ziling.
Still reeling from the rush of hugging and passionately kissing Luo Ziling, she felt too flustered to look him in the eyes.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this issue. If today’s act can make that guy give up, then it wasn’t in vain,” Luo Ziling restrained his wry expression, “I hope he stops harassing you, so I no longer have to play the role of your boyfriend.”
“I hope so, but he definitely won’t give up easily. He’s thick-skinned; despite my repeated rejections, he hasn’t given up. Chances are, he still won’t give up this ti.” Chen Xiaoyi still looked slightly coy, unlike her usual carefree self.
Luo Ziling thought seriously for a mont, then frowning, he asked, “Do you think he might take his anger out on , looking for trouble at so point?”
Chen Xiaoyi was montarily stunned but eventually shook her head, “I will warn him not to seek revenge on you. He’s a policeman; he should maintain so professional ethics.”
“Honestly, I’m not afraid of his retaliation, but I hate being bothered. I don’t want unrelated people affecting my life.” Luo Ziling said, looking earnestly at Chen Xiaoyi, “I don’t want to invite trouble just because I’m helping you, so I hope you can keep him from bothering .”
“Don’t worry, if he troubles you, I won’t let him off,” although she said this, Chen Xiaoyi did not feel reassured.
She knew that Ding Chaohui had a good relationship with her brother, Chen Jiahai, who supported Ding Chaohui’s pursuit of her. anwhile, the relationship between Luo Ziling and Chen Jiahai was poor, and there had been quite a few conflicts between them.
If Chen Jiahai learned about today’s incident, he might use Ding Chaohui to take revenge on Luo Ziling.
Using Ding Chaohui as a pawn, Chen Jiahai wouldn’t need to worry about any risks. Even if the revenge failed, it would only be Ding Chaohui who would be unfortunate.
Thinking of all this, Chen Xiaoyi felt that pulling Luo Ziling in to act as her boyfriend was not very wise.
However, she didn’t regret it. She had taken the initiative to kiss Luo Ziling just earlier, and since he hadn’t resisted, she saw hope.
Looking at Chen Xiaoyi’s deanor, Luo Ziling felt a bit odd.
At that mont, the al they ordered was served, and Luo Ziling didn’t say anything, instead focusing on eating his food.
Chen Xiaoyi, usually endlessly chatty, beca quite reserved. Seeing Luo Ziling not talking, she also silently started eating.
“After we finish eating, shall we go sowhere else to have fun?” she asked softly while eating her steak, and imdiately explained, “After all, it’s still early.”
“Actually, we shouldn’t have co here today,” Luo Ziling didn’t answer Chen Xiaoyi’s question but just chuckled lightly, “Our argunt made us a spectacle. If soone recognized us, it would tarnish your reputation as Anchor Chen.”
“What do you an?” Chen Xiaoyi was slow to respond.
“If we wanted to better resolve today’s issue, we should have chosen another place, like a private booth in a Chinese restaurant or inside a karaoke box where even if we fought, no one could see us. Our fight today wasn’t intense, and he probably hasn’t given up. The fact that you kissed on purpose was seen by many, and they might have taken photos to share on social dia.” Luo Ziling looked at Chen Xiaoyi with a playful expression, “Well, what I an is that you didn’t plot today’s scenario well. You see, many online novels describe such plots where the story unfolds dramatically, and the troublemaker leaves in disgrace. Unfortunately, today’s acting was a bit off, lacking any thrill, and our performance wasn’t successful.”
“You really think so?” Chen Xiaoyi looked stunned but soon burst into laughter, “I had no such plan. I only hoped that Ding Chaohui would back off after seeing us together. After all, I never ask boys out, nor do I openly pursue any guy. I thought he would leave as soon as he heard saying that to him.”
“I just thought of another possibility.”
“What possibility?” Chen Xiaoyi was slow to keep up, struggling to follow Luo Ziling’s sudden change of topic.
“I’m wondering if today I was an extra, or was he the extra?” Luo Ziling asked Chen Xiaoyi with a strange look, “I feel like it wasn’t you pulling here to reject so guy, but you bringing so guy here to accomplish sothing.”
“What do you an?” Chen Xiaoyi frowned and looked at Luo Ziling, “I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
Luo Ziling did not repeat but simply bowed his head and continued eating, speaking as he ate, “I have already made myself clear.”
As Chen Xiaoyi thought deeply about what Luo Ziling had said, she finally understood his implication.
“Are you suggesting that I hired Ding Chaohui as an actor, solely to solidify our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend?” Her expression turned sowhat ugly.
Luo Ziling stayed silent and rely smiled before focusing back on his food.
Chen Xiaoyi laughed bitterly, put down her knife and fork, and looked at Luo Ziling seriously, “Do you really think so?”
“Ding Chaohui would think so, and so can I, don’t you agree?”
“Alright, I can’t deny that,” Chen Xiaoyi appeared sowhat dejected but quickly stared at Luo Ziling intently and said seriously, “Do you realize that was my first kiss.”
“Ah, no wonder you bit ,” Luo Ziling responded with a mix of amusent and regret. After seeing Chen Xiaoyi staring at him seriously, he carefully asked, “Are you… trying to force to be your boyfriend?”
“If I force you, would you agree or refuse?!” Chen Xiaoyi said half-seriously and half-jokingly. After she inadvertently glanced outside and saw the scene outside the restaurant, her expression suddenly changed.
