Zhao Anan was not a cold, unfeeling person and regarded Zheng Jing as one of her close friends.
She had been so furious and hit Zheng Jing out of frustration a moment ago.
But if she was supposed to admit her mistake, she would never do it. So she snorted at Zheng Jing and continued with her wandering.
After strolling for sometime, Zhao Anan suddenly realized something and asked dubiously, “Something is not right. Mr. Zheng, what are you doing here? This place is at least one hour away from your place, too.”
Zheng Jing chuckled inside his heart. What a silly girl! It took her such a long while before she realized that something was amiss about the situation.
Although he was smirking inside, he looked serious and said without changing his expression, “A murder occurred here, so I am here to investigate the site. I am checking the path to find out how the murderer could have escaped.”
Zheng Jing was a way better liar than Zhao Anan. They were not even in the same league.
Zhao Anan believed his words even more since she was distracted by her own matters.
Zheng Jing, however, was not done yet. He said calmly, “It is very dangerous for a single girl like you to be wandering about outside. Let me give you a lift home!”
“I am not going home!” Zhao Anan bellowed furiously, “Leave me alone! Go and work on your case.”
“I can’t do that. What if something happens to you here? Mu Qing will flay me alive. You are my future sister-in-law and I can’t let you roam around. Case can come later, you are the priority.” Zheng Jing got goosebumps after he said the last sentence.
Zhao Anan’s face sank when she heard him mention Mu Qing.
After she stayed silent for a long while, she decided to tell Zheng Jing about their breakup. She didn’t want him mentioning it in front of Mu Qing, in the future.
“I have broken up with Mu Qing and we are living separately, now. Don’t call me sister-in-law in the future, in case his new girlfriend gets mad about it.”
“What? When did this happen? Why am I not informed about anything?!” Zheng Jing looked surprised as if he truly had no idea of what was going on. He had heard about Shangguan Ning’s plan from Zheng Lun and knew more about it than Zhao Anan did!
“Has the bastard broken your heart by falling for someone else?! Hang on. I will go and punch him for you.” He said and was about to turn around.
Zhao Anan got hold of Zheng Jing and said hurriedly, “No, no, no it is not his fault, it is mine!”
Zhao Anan might not be a very calculative person but she was not stupid either. Zheng Jing was behaving weirdly today, but she could not figure out in which way.
Zheng Jing had not been very talkative earlier, and whenever they met, they would argue rather than talk peacefully in this way.
Zhao Anan was confused, but Zheng Jing looked normal. Could she be overthinking everything right now?
Sigh, it was not the time to suspect Zheng Jing, and she must not allow him to punch Mu Qing.
“I broke up with him, and his family asked him to go on a blind date. He will soon have a new girlfriend. It is not your business, so you can leave it aside.”
Zhao Anan said as tears welled up in her eyes.
When she thought of what she had seen, she still felt her heart ache a great deal. Soon she lost the little energy that had remained within her and started to desire a good sleep.
“I am going home now, you can leave.”
Zheng Jing would not allow her to go home by herself. He got hold of her arm. “No way, I will give you a lift home. You are behaving weirdly.”
Unable to get rid of him, Zhao Anan suddenly got thronged with fury. She threw herself at him and punched him.
Zheng Jing did not move, although he was in pain.
He was thinking that he would give Mu Qing a few punches too so that he could taste what his girlfriend’s blizzard fists tasted like. Zhao Anan had been spoiled because of him.
Zhao Anan punched him and then started to cry loudly. She did not even care about what the passers-by were thinking.
Zheng Jing soon had a disgusted expression when he saw her wiping snot and tears on his clothes.
What a messy girl!
He will have to throw away these clothes and will ask Mu Qing to get him a new set.
But the way Zhao Anan cried, moved him, so Zheng Jing swept her into his arms – his clothes had gotten messy and a little more would not matter.
Zheng Jing patted her, consoling her in a soft voice, “It is fine, no more tears! It is not a big deal, you will get over it.”
Zhao Anan ignored him but kept crying. She had not cried so thoroughly in a long time.
Zheng Jing’s shirt was soaked. He was really not pleased that Shangguan Ning asked him for help today.
“Anan, there are boys everywhere. If Mu Qing doesn’t work, you can find someone else. See, you look so comfortable in my arms, what about trying it with me, instead?”
Zhao Anan’s wails suddenly stopped!
She asked in surprise with a pair of swollen eyes, “What did you say?!”
She thought that she heard something unbelievable.
What did he mean by trying it with him instead? This was totally unethical. Zheng Lun would get very sad if she ever heard that.
Zheng Jing got visibly embarrassed. For the very first time, he stuttered, “Oh well… I am just… babbling! Don’t take it seriously. I was trying to console you, and nothing else.”
Zhao Anan stopped being sad at this moment. She glared at Zheng Jing and cracked her knuckles. “I will not spare you if you get any funny ideas. You are marrying no one except for Lun in your life, or I will cut off your manhood!”
“It is very hard to control one’s emotions, right? Maybe I will fall for this girl today and another one, tomorrow. You don’t like Mu Qing any more. It is also normal for me to fall for someone else too, right?!”
Zheng Jing looked nonchalant. He no longer had the serious look on him. Instead, he looked like a womanizer!
Due to Zheng Jing’s past behaviour where he fell for that police officer, Zhu Ruotong and even offered to marry her, Zhao Anan suddenly thought that Zheng Jing might start an affair once again by falling for someone else and disappoint Zheng Lun who was so devoted to him!
