“Eh?”
Zheng Jing, the usually smart man, was confused by what Knife Lee said.
Knife Lee was not following the script. He even asked him about the woman whom he actually liked.
Zheng Jing threw a look at Zhao Anan who was equally surprised and said in a sincere voice, “Of course I like Anan. There is no one else!”
“So you don’t like Zheng Lun? I saw you holding hands with Zheng Lun in the elevator a couple of days ago. Why are you denying it now?”
He was not only strong, but also a very observant person, as well.
Zheng Jing was rendered speechless by Knife Lee.
Of course, he liked Zheng Lun, and even pretending to like Zhao Anan, was a great deal of work. Hence, he could not bring himself to say that he did not like Zheng Lun.
He studied Knife Lee ‘s serious expressions. Finally, using his judgement as a police officer, he realized that Knife Lee’s arrival had not been arranged by Shangguan Ning. He seemed to have come here of his own accord.
He had really fallen for Zhao Anan!
Seeing Zheng Jing lapse into silence, Zhao Anan was worried that he would admit that there was nothing going on between them, so she said anxiously, “Knife Lee, what is wrong with you? I told you that I don’t like you, I like Zheng Jing. You can’t keep badgering me, otherwise I would not be polite to you any more.”
“He doesn’t like you. He is lying to you. He and his sister are a couple. Anan, accept me. I promise that I will not fall for anyone else.” Knife Lee did not want to give up. He genuinely thought that Zhao Anan was the best girl for him and didn’t want to miss this chance.
If Zheng Jing had been true to Zhao Anan, he might have given up. But Zheng Jing was courting two girls at the same time. Zhao Anan would never be happy with him.
Knife Lee felt that he couldn’t allow the girl, whom he liked, to get hurt.
Zhao Anan gritted her teeth in annoyance.
What was wrong with this man?
How unlucky she must be to be liked by him?
She really did not want to see this pervert, nor did she want to speak with him. When she had been imprisoned by him, she swore that she would tear him apart when she got out.
But then he became Jing Yichen’s man, and that stopped her from taking revenge. But she had no intentions of being nice to him ever.
She stopped pretending and said, “Yes, Zheng Jing doesn’t me and I don’t like him. But that has nothing to do with you. Get out of here now. You should be keeping my sister-in-law and nephew safe. Stop skipping your work.”
“I have three days off every month. Today is the first day of my leave. I am not shirking my duties.” Knife Lee explained calmly and then said, “Since you do not like Zheng Jing, then I can court you, right?”
He let out a sigh of relief. Good that Zhao Anan was not with Zheng Jing. This meant that he had a chance!
Zhao Anan rolled her eyes in frustration. She held Zheng Jing’s arm and went out, “Let’s go and eat something. If I have to see this face any further, I would not be able to eat any more.”
Seeing them leave, Knife Lee did not run after them.
He did not know other women, but he knew Zhao Anan well due to the close proximity during those months. He knew that Zhao Anan had lost her patience right now, so he did not want to provoke her any further.
He had never courted a girl before. As a result, he had no idea of how to make Zhao Anan happy.
Standing on the same spot for a long while, Knife Lee finally decided to turn to Tiger to seek advice. He felt that Tiger seemed to know a great deal about relationships.
At lunch, Zheng Jing excused himself to go to the bathroom and called Shangguan Ning and updated her on the happenings.
Shangguan Ning was also astonished to find that Knife Lee liked Zhao Anan!
Shangguan Ning had not expected such a turn of events. Knife Lee would court Zhao Anan with his own ability if he really wanted to.
If Zhao Anan was so easily swayed, then Mu Qing would not have to wait for her for eleven years.
Knife Lee was definitely going to face a lot of trouble.
Courting Zhao Anan was an endless path of agony. Hopefully he could turn back when he realized the impossible mission.
Zhao Anan and Zheng Jing ate a spicy hot pot. Anan’s lips turned red, and sweat drops formed on her forehead. But she was in a very good mood, and forgot about Knife Lee completely.
She did not keep the disturbing things inside for long, nor did she take others’ words seriously.
She did not believe that Knife Lee had been serious, nor did she think that he would keep courting her.
While eating, she forgot about Knife Lee and even Mu Qing. She loved good food, it made her forget about her problems.
Mu Qing was sitting in a corner of the hot pot restaurant, and watched the scene helplessly.
How heartless was she! He could not eat or sleep and was worried about her while she was having a good time with Zheng Jing.
Zheng Jing had already noticed that Mu Qing entered the restaurant sometime back. He subtly gave him a “not-to-worry” look.
Mu Qing knew that as long as Zheng Jing was with her, he did not need to worry about anything. He would look after her safety, and well-being.
What a good brother he was! He spared no efforts in helping them, spending money and time just to bring them together. Most importantly, he knew that Zheng Jing would never fall for Zhao Anan.
Mu Qing felt a bit assured after seeing that Zhao Anan was in a good situation. So he went out of the restaurant to meet Knife Lee.
Zheng Jing had texted him sometime back informing him that Knife Lee was courting Zhao Anan and that he should smoothen things out, because he could not help in this situation.
Anyways, it was not the first time for Mu Qing to deal with his love rival. There were several people who had been interested in Zhao Anan in the past.
Most of them were removed by Mu Qing even before Zhao Anan got to know about them. He could not tolerate if someone laid eyes upon his woman.
Knife Lee, however, had hidden himself well. He must have fallen for her when they were in London. Well, he couldn’t blame the man. Zhao Anan was so adorable that any man would have fallen for her after being with her for so long.
Knife Lee spent half a year with her alone, and it was natural that he started liking her. Otherwise, he would have wondered about Knife Lee not being normal.
“Eh?”
Zheng Jing, the usually smart man, was confused by what Knife Lee said.
Knife Lee was not following the script. He even asked him about the woman whom he actually liked.
Zheng Jing threw a look at Zhao Anan who was equally surprised and said in a sincere voice, “Of course I like Anan. There is no one else!”
