Chapter 118 - 117 Old Sayings Are True (2nd Update)
Sitting in the car, Yue Tingting’s exquisitely pretty face was constantly brimming with a sweet smile. She felt that today was her happiest day, even happier than when she had passed the entrance exam to a key university.
Lu Tianxing, with a deadpan expression, looked at Yue Tingting and couldn’t help but say, "Tingting, are you really that happy? You’ve been smiling for almost ten minutes now, doesn’t it tire you out?"
"Not tired."
Yue Tingting giggled, shaking her head, "But I think Mr. Zhao won’t be able to laugh today."
Lu Tianxing looked at Yue Tingting in surprise and laughed, "So, you know everything, girl. You almost had me fooled."
"Hehe, what did you think!"
Yue Tingting chuckled and said, "Well, I can’t say I understand everything, but I do know that everything Mr. Zhao does and says is because of you, Brother Lu, so I understand why you fleeced him. By the way, Lu Tianxing, what were you and Mr. Zhao whispering about just now?"
"Nothing much, just told Mr. Zhao that I know his wife and am a friend of hers, then I asked him to look after her at school, to make sure no one bothers her," Lu Tianxing said with a light smile.
"Hmm, I understand, thank you, Brother Lu."
All along, Yue Tingting, wise as she was, never pressed Lu Tianxing about what exactly he said to Mr. Zhao. His appreciation for her intelligence was tinged with relief; this girl was perhaps much smarter than he had imagined, yet most of the times she preferred to play the role of a naive girl next door, quietly caring and trusting in him.
"Do we really need to be so formal with each other? It’s getting late; I’ll take you home, and make sure you get some good rest."
