"Wu Chenjun, let go of me! You’re practically choking me to death!"
Wu Chenjun held tightly onto her neck, a faint fragrance lingering around his nose. If he paid attention, he’d notice it was the scent of roses. "Will you stop saying men and women shouldn’t get too close now?"
"I won’t say it anymore, I promise I’ll never say it again."
"Swear it." Wu Chenjun persisted.
"Alright, I swear!" Shangguan Xi held up three fingers.
Only then did Wu Chenjun let her go, "Fine, young master will forgive you this once."
"You’re so annoying!" Shangguan Xi rolled her eyes at Wu Chenjun, "You’ve messed up my hair!"
Wu Chenjun walked up to Shangguan Xi and stopped, leaning in to straighten her hair, "If it’s messed up, just fix it, right?"
Shangguan Xi’s eyes darted around, and seizing the opportunity, she stamped hard on Wu Chenjun’s foot and then swiftly ran towards the workplace.
Wu Chenjun watched her retreating back, whistling with a somewhat spoilt young master’s air.
Just then, Zuo Ling ran over from the other side and, seeing Shangguan Xi’s back, called out with a laugh, "Xiaoxi, wait for me!"
Hearing Zuo Ling’s voice, Shangguan Xi waved with a smile, "Zuo Ling, this way!"
Zuo Ling?
Is this Shangguan Xi’s boyfriend?
Wu Chenjun narrowed his eyes, his left hand in his pocket, somewhat baffled why Shangguan Xi had taken a liking to such a guy...
Poor eyesight?
It seemed Shangguan Xi might need a pair of glasses.
Wu Chenjun, slightly irritated, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
At that moment, Zuo Ling glanced back at Wu Chenjun, "Xiaoxi, you know that comrade?"
Shangguan Xi looked back at Wu Chenjun and nodded, "Mmm, he’s a friend who grew up with me."
Zuo Ling expressed his surprise, "I saw him driving a car!"
If Shangguan Xi’s friend was this wealthy, did it mean Shangguan Xi’s family was also wealthy?
Was everything he had seen at Shangguan Xi’s house last time real?
Shangguan Xi smiled and said, "He won the jackpot in the lottery before, and now he’s already living in a villa."
