Chapter 28: The Enigmatic Man
Chu Mengyao, with a strange emotion, came to Ye Fan and Zhang Lu’s side, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Ye Fan, and teased Zhang Lu, "Officer Zhang, what are you talking about? You look high-spirited?"
"President Chu, are you jealous? I merely spoke a few words to Ye Fan, and you’re already losing your patience. I’ve heard that President Chu is famous in the circle for being the ’Ice Woman.’ I didn’t expect you could also have spring fever. But isn’t your jealousy a bit too intense? Is any woman near Ye Fan automatically your rival?" Zhang Lu mocked, raising her nose.
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand." Chu Mengyao suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and said matter-of-factly, "Ye Fan and I are just friends, not what you’re thinking."
"An explanation is just a cover-up. Doesn’t President Chu understand this concept? You don’t need to feel guilty. Whether you admit it or not doesn’t matter. I’m also a woman—do you think your small hidden thoughts can escape my eyes?" Zhang Lu’s lips curled up into a weird smile.
"Nonsense, I can’t be bothered with such an unreasonable woman as you." Chu Mengyao’s secret seemed to be poked through by someone, her expression becoming extremely uncomfortable.
"Who is being unreasonable knows it themselves. I won’t point it out." Zhang Lu gave a provocative glance at Chu Mengyao and sneered, "Only you would cherish Ye Fan, treating him like a treasure. I certainly don’t care."
With that, Zhang Lu walked away, humming, with a victorious stance.
Chu Mengyao’s mind whirled, thinking to herself, "Why do I feel upset seeing him with other women? Could it be that I really like him? Impossible, absolutely impossible. We’ve only known each other for such a short time, how could it be possible?"
She couldn’t sort out the emotions in her heart, so she could only quash the thought deep down.
Ye Fan glanced at Zhang Lu, then at Chu Mengyao, not knowing why, seeing Chu Mengyao stand up for him made him extremely happy.
