Chapter 0053 – Counterfeit Goods (2 / 2)

This unquestionable order made Song Yu’er unable to put up any more pretenses, so she could only obediently comply and silently leave.

Just as Su Wanqing wanted to pull out, she was pressed against the door panel by him.

“Angry?”

After all this time together, it wasn’t hard for her to detect the mood swings behind his move.

“Trying to stand up for your Ms. Song? Oops-“

As soon as the words fell, Qi Zhi Iu ruthlessly bit her on the lips, the pain made her frown, wanting to break free, but worried about making a mistake, so she had to force herself to hold back.

“Official girlfriend, right?”

Qi Zhiyu’s tongue gently touched her cheek, and his tone was laced with an unspeakable chill.

“So what should I say?”

Su Wanqing’s gaze faintly met his, calmly dealing with the displeasure under his eyes, “Going along with her words, saying that I’m not your wife in name only?”

“Isn’t it?”

A complex and indistinguishable coldness swept across Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes, as if it was the most bitterly cold wind in winter, carrying an unquestionable sharpness.

“Are we still in an unlicensed relationship? Or do you still have reservations about informing your family? Hmm?”

The barrage of questions, like a dense drumbeat, pounded on her heart, leaving her momentarily speechless, unable to find the right words to respond.

“Didn’t you mention before that you planned to make our relationship public? So now, if it’s up to me to make the announcement myself, what else do you have to bring out to announce?”

His words hid a pin-sharp edge that left no place to hide.

She pondered for a moment, a flash of light flashed between her eyebrows, and she wittily replied, “Song Yu’er is in the whirlwind of the entertainment industry, how do you make sure that she can permanently keep this secret, drip by drip?”

Qi Zhi Iu sniffed and was silent for a moment, the frost in those eyes seemed to melt in an instant, replaced by a thoughtful look.

“Or you think more carefully.”

His approval eased the mood in the room slightly.

That agreement in black and white was like an invisible shackle, how could she dare not do her duty?

Once he decides to go public with everything, she’s powerless to stop him and can only do everything she can to minimize the damage.

She had not forgotten that their original intention of being alone was based on mutual understanding and respect.

So, the topic was back on track: “Did you really decide to give the position of the prosperous female lead to Song Yu’er?”

Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes became deep and inscrutable, a playful smile hanging at the corner of his lips, his slender fingers gently rubbing over her lips as if he was testing her bottom line.

“Aren’t you curious about what I actually did last night?”

His words carried a subtle hint.

“I thought you said you were going on a pickup.”

She reminded, recalling his answer in the hospital room, though it was then that she felt things might not be so simple.

“That’s right, Pickering.”

When Su Wanqing heard this, she had mixed feelings in her heart, but wisely chose not to pursue the matter further.

She raised her hands and gently rested them against his chest, trying to pull away from each other, “I’d like some water, it’s hard not to get thirsty after walking all the way out here with the sun blazing so brightly.”

However, Qi Zhi Iu did not back away as she wished, but instead came even closer, those dark eyes flashing with a light that could not be ignored, “Answer me a question first.”

“Please ask.”

Knowing that it was useless to resist, Su Wanqing simply gave up and put on a blithe demeanor, ready to meet his questions.

“Why are you suddenly interested in dogs?”

There was a probing note in his voice, surprised by her transformation.

That she could be so emotionally unbalanced over that puppy was like nothing he had ever seen before.
