“Listen properly; I only have one boyfriend and that is Ji Ziming!” she domineeringly proclaimed.
“As for this Wen Qimo that you like, excuse me, but this young lady has never liked him. It’s him who’s always been clinging on to me, so stop seeking trouble with me next time as I, in fact, disdain him.”
Hmph! Who told you to push me out to be your shield?!
She quickly swept her glance across the man smiling at her.
“…”
Other than the gently smiling Wen Qimo and deeply frowning Fu Mingxuan, everyone else in the jewelry shop was stunned by her domineering proclamation.
The jewelry shop employees, especially, felt as if their worldviews were being overturned!
This mediocre-looking woman was being sandwiched by two men, and they were even the tall, rich, and handsome types.
As for the two men, they did not put any of the three beauties in their eyes but were instead protective of the plain one.
The most important thing here was that the plain woman seemed not to give two hoots about this, and she was even treating the man who had come later with disdain.
The hell? How could anyone remain sane at this?
Ji Lelin’s trio had ugly expressions of their faces.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qimo’s next words gave them the fatal blow.
“Yes, I was the one clinging onto her. Ji Lelin, don’t look for trouble with Ge Ge in the future. If not, we won’t even be friends anymore,” he coldly warned.
Ji Lelin looked as if she had been struck by lightning at this.
Cough, cough, cough. Of course, the rest of the people in the jewelry shop were in the same state.
“…” Even Pei Ge could only tug at her lips.
The hell… He’s gone too far with this!
I’ve just been branded by him as a Mary Sue! And it’s even the extremely unrealistic Mary Sue!
Having been disgusted by him, she could no longer continue staying here. If she did, she might feel more gross out over this man, who was too engrossed in his acting.
“Senior, let’s go somewhere else to choose a present for your girlfriend.” She purposely said this in front of Ji Lelin.
Unbeknown to her, Fu Mingxuan’s frown deepened after she said that.
“Eh? Brother Mingxuan has a girlfriend?” Ou Wenwen exclaimed in shock at this.
Already antagonized by this friend of Ji Lelin, how could Pei Ge still show an amicable face to her?
“That’s none of your business.”
Once she threw this down, she strode out of the jewelry shop.
The man quickly followed behind her, not replying to the woman’s question.
“Wha-What’s with that person? She’s truly a vixen!”
…
“Ge Ge, are you all right?” Fu Mingxuan asked worriedly while trailing after her.
Noting his worry, she glanced at his crumpled clothes, then at his face, which had some red marks, and instantly felt guilty.
She felt really apologetic to him as he only met with such a disgraceful event because of her…
“Senior, I’m truly sorry. Because of me, you’ve met with something like that.” She halted her steps and said this apologetically.
He only smiled and shook his head at her, gently consoling, “This isn’t your fault, so don’t feel apologetic.”
She only felt even more remorseful at this.
“Senior, are you injured? That Miss Ji was very fierce earlier.” She seriously inspected him for injury.
Checking him from head to toe, she saw that he did not receive much injury…
“I’m fine. Being a girl, she doesn’t have much streg—” Before he finished, he suddenly grimaced, as if feeling pain somewhere.
“What’s wrong?” She caught his grimace and promptly tensed up.
“Nothing.” He shook his head and smiled.
Not believing him, she gave him a frown.
“Senior, are you hurting somewhere?”
“I’m not really hurting anywhere. My arms are just feeling a bit uncomfortable…”
At that, she rushed to roll his sleeves up.
When the man’s arms were revealed, she was totally stunned.
“Gosh!” Her eyes widened at the red scratches and even the bite marks on his arms. Her face turned ugly instantly.
“Is that Ji Lelin a dog?! Never mind that she bit you, she even bit down hard!”
She stared at his wounds and was racked with anger and guilt.
It was fortunately winter, and he was wearing more layers of clothes. If it were summer, his arms would be totally covered in wounds.
“It’s nothing, Ge Ge. It’s not painful and merely looks a little scary.” He saw her nervousness and assured her with a light smile.
She felt even more remorseful toward such an amicable and friendly senior.
“Senior, stop that nonsense. If it’s not painful, you wouldn’t have that look moments ago! Okay. Let’s go to the hospital to dress up your wounds first.”
“It’s fine. This is really nothing. If you feel apologetic, then properly choose a gift for me!” He smiled at her, gently suggesting this.
She glanced at his arms and his smiling face. Suddenly, that bit of distance she felt from him disappeared and truly treated him as a friend again.
“Senior, you’re such a good person, so the girl you like will definitely like you back!”
His eyes lit up at this before quickly dimming.
“Still, I think she doesn’t feel anything for me.”
“Really? Senior, you’re such a nice person, but she actually doesn’t like you?” Her eyes widened, clearly shocked by this revelation.
The corner of the man’s lips curled upward slightly at her shock.
“Yes, I think she doesn’t.”
She blinked and then moved to comfort him. “It’s fine, senior! Feelings need to be nurtured! Love is the most stable when it is nurtured over time! I believe that you will succeed eventually!”
“Pfft! Thank you for your kind words.” He only felt more amused as she talked further, finally bursting out laughing when he could no longer stifle his amusement.
This woman is such an adorable dunce.
“He he! Strive on, senior! You can come ask me for help if you have any relationship problems!” She generously invited him, clearly treating him as one of her confidantes now.
“I’ll thank you in advance, then, as I plan to come looking for your help more often.” Although he felt amused, he still unhesitatingly took up her offer.
Hence, unknowingly, she invited a wolf into her room. As for Ji Ziming who was overseas, he also did not know that, in this short period that he was gone, childhood friend began prying his walls.
“No problem!”
