Li Ziling suddenly asked Chen Jie not to go back yet.
At Li Ziling's request, Chen Jie parked the car near the vegetable market, and soon Li Ziling bought some vegetables and meat.
She happily told Chen Jie that she would cook for him tonight.
Chen Jie could only respond awkwardly.
When they returned, they found that Li Ziling's kitchen had no gas, so they had to move to Chen Jie's place.
Upon arriving at Chen Jie's room, Li Ziling found that He Yufei was not there, which made her even more elated.
"Chen Jie, you're not allowed to dislike my cooking!" Li Ziling said to Chen Jie.
"How could I dislike it? The thought is what counts," Chen Jie replied.
"Mm-hmm!"
Li Ziling finished cooking, opened a bottle of red wine, and ate and drank with Chen Jie.
After a few rounds of drinks, Li Ziling was slightly tipsy and leaned her body against Chen Jie's shoulder.
"Chen Jie, why are you so good to me?" Li Ziling murmured.
"Of course I'll be good to you," Chen Jie replied perfunctorily.
"No! Chen Jie, tell me why you're so good to me, okay?"
Li Ziling said, "I'm really confused. You have a beautiful woman like He Yufei, so why are you still pestering me!"
"Even if you really like me, you've done so much for me! I feel like it's more than just liking."
"Tell me, okay! Tell me, and I'll sincerely accept you! Otherwise, I'll feel very uneasy!"
Chen Jie sighed inwardly, it seemed Li Ziling wasn't foolish.
She knew something was amiss.
This was all she deserved.
Yet she had been kept in the dark.
Chen Jie even considered telling her the truth.
But after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll tell you in a few more days!"
In a few days, when the Tianyi Sect was destroyed, Li Ziling would no longer have to hide and could resume her identity and live with confidence.
"Then, are you truly treating me like this? You really don't expect anything in return?" Li Ziling asked again.
"Naturally," Chen Jie replied.
Suddenly, Li Ziling's pretty face leaned towards Chen Jie.
Chen Jie was startled.
He quickly dodged, "What are you doing?"
Li Ziling was stunned, and then a wave of infinite grievance washed over her.
She dared to do this because she was slightly drunk, and it was the first time in her life she had been so proactive, but Chen Jie actually dodged.
"I have nothing to repay you with, I can only satisfy your fantasies about me! After I give myself to you, if you still treat me this well, then I will completely accept you!"
Chen Jie was startled and quickly said, "I don't need your repayment."
"Stop pretending. Buying me such beautiful and cute clothes, isn't it because you want me to be dressed perfectly so you can conquer me? Besides this reason, I can't think of any other why you would treat me this way!"
Li Ziling said, "Actually, actually what happened on the bus that day, if you weren't acting, I would have fallen for you from then on!"
"Now, you've successfully won me back! Chen Jie, I have nothing to repay you with. If you dislike me in the future, I'll allow you to abandon me, consider it my repayment to you!"
"Tonight, let me stay!"
Li Ziling had never dated before, so saying these words was already difficult.
If Chen Jie refused her again, she would truly be humiliated.
"This..." Chen Jie's face darkened.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Ah!
Li Ziling let out a scream, completely flustered and at a loss.
She thought He Yufei had come, and her mind raced with various thoughts.
She had always believed that Chen Jie was He Yufei's kept man.
If Chen Jie had this ability, it must be because of He Yufei.
If He Yufei found out that Chen Jie was spending her money to pursue her, wouldn't she be completely embarrassed on the spot?
In fact, although she no longer rejected Chen Jie, she wouldn't agree to be with him if it weren't for her father.
Unless Chen Jie could sever ties with He Yufei.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, she couldn't accept dating Chen Jie while still having to be secretive.
"Chen Jie, what should I do? Is that Director He back? Should I hide?"
Li Ziling said some frantic words.
Chen Jie was surprised, this woman, thinking he had an unusual relationship with He Yufei, dared to flirt with him?
However, he was a little puzzled, could it really be He Yufei returning?
"You don't need to be nervous, it's okay even if it's her," Chen Jie said.
"No, I'll hide in your room first, I can't be discovered," Li Ziling said frantically.
Just as Chen Jie was about to stop her, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Seeing that it was too late to get into Chen Jie's room, Li Ziling instinctively bent down and hid behind the sofa.
However, this scene was seen by the person who entered.
"Good for you, Chen Jie, you're actually sneaking around with someone!" a questioning voice rang out.
"It's you?"
To Chen Jie's surprise, the person was Guo Xiaofeng, wearing a mask.
Hearing Guo Xiaofeng's voice, Li Ziling also reacted, letting out a sigh of relief, and then stood up somewhat guiltily.
Although Guo Xiaofeng didn't know if Chen Jie had a girlfriend, seeing Li Ziling's reaction, she immediately guessed their relationship was not normal.
What normal couple would hide from people they meet?
Guo Xiaofeng pointed at Chen Jie and sneered, "You're drinking here late at night, and you're about to get into bed, aren't you?"
Li Ziling was a little guilty, while Chen Jie said calmly, "What we do is none of your business. Also, why are you here?"
"Heh, aren't you afraid I'll expose your business?" Guo Xiaofeng said.
"Go ahead, close the door when you leave," Chen Jie said.
Guo Xiaofeng was stunned.
She had come to find Chen Jie to ask if her face had been tampered with by him.
Upon seeing the scene just now, her heart moved, and she wanted to use this to threaten Chen Jie.
But hearing Chen Jie say that, she suddenly realized that Chen Jie wasn't a big celebrity, and even if it were exposed, it wouldn't matter much.
There were plenty of promiscuous men in the world, and some married men with children weren't afraid, so why should an unmarried man like Chen Jie worry?
Even if it were exposed, he would be praised by countless men for being capable.
"Do you have any other questions? If not, you can leave," Chen Jie said.
Guo Xiaofeng opened her mouth.
She angrily walked up to Chen Jie, sat down, and then took off the special mask from her face.
The beard under the mask immediately stood up like crushed grass.
If her mask wasn't special, these beards would have probably protruded directly through it.
Guo Xiaofeng poured herself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Li Ziling reacted at this moment. She knew what Guo Xiaofeng had done and naturally had no good feelings towards her.
So she said, "Please leave. You're not welcome here."
Suddenly, Guo Xiaofeng said with a wry smile, "Chen Jie, I'm sorry!"
