After sending Mummy Huo off, Huo Zhan heaved out a huge sigh of relief. Even for something as simple as footing the bill, he had to explain for almost half an hour. While driving, he questioned Shi Guang, “You nearly caused all our efforts to be for naught! Tell me the truth… do you have a boyfriend?”

Shi Guang was gloomy as well. “No. If I had a boyfriend, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed to pretend to be your girlfriend!”

Huo Zhan raised his brow. “Could that really have been a mistake?”

“Probably!”

“But, if that’s the case, brother here is really feeling pity for you. Say, you’re rather good looking as well. How could there be no guy who likes you?”

Shi Guang really wanted to send a flying kick over to Huo Zhan. “I must have been out of my mind to agree to help you! To think that you would have the cheek to tease me like that! If not for your sake, I would still be lying down at home comfortably reading my novels or watching my shows!”

Because she couldn’t kick, she used her hands and thumped down on Huo Zhan’s back fiercely.

Even though the blow meant nothing at all to Huo Zhan, he still pretended as though he was hurt and faked out two coughs. “Say, you’re really way too vicious! I merely said a single sentence of truth!”

Shi Guang glared at him with a narrowed gaze. “Really now, how do I have a friend like you?”

“I should be the one returning that sentence to you completely!”

“Oh, really? Do you believe that I’m going to call auntie right now and tell her that we were only faking it?”

“Little Shi Guang! Aren’t you falling out with me way too quickly?”

“No sh*t! Haven’t you heard that women fall out faster than the time taken to flip a page of a book? You had better prepare your lines now to think about how to explain to auntie later!”

Looking at how Shi Guang seemed as though she was really going for it, Huo Zhan sighed out and moaned in anguish, “Man, Little Shi Guang, you can’t be that heartless, right?”

Ignoring his cries, Shi Guang took out her phone and looked as though she was really going to make the call.

“I was wrong! I’m offering you my sincere apologies…” Immediately, Huo Zhan freed a hand and clasped it around Shi Guang’s shoulders before pulling her to his side. “Don’t get angry, alright? Your eyes were large to begin with, but now that you’re glaring even wider with them, it looks scary!”

“Drive properly,” Shi Guang turned her body to the other side before taking his arm away. “Also, you’re not allowed to hug me on the shoulder in the future and take liberties with me!”

“What liberties? Hugging your shoulder is the exact same feeling as me hugging my own shoulders,” Huo Zhan roared out in laughter.

“If you diss me one more time, I’m going to call auntie right away.”

“N-No, no, no! My great queen, I’m driving right now. For the sake of your safety, you must definitely not agitate me!” As Huo Zhan said that, he looked at Shi Guang with a sorry expression.

“Watch the roads,” Shi Guang pushed his face slightly and had him look forward.

“Don’t worry, my driving skills aren’t for show only. Even if I drift with the car, we’ll be fine…”

Shi Guang did not want to pay him any attention, merely staring ahead blankly. In her mind, it was all questions about the person who had footed the bill.

‘To think that he would claim that I am his girlfriend?’

She had only been a single person’s girlfriend in her entire life, and that was Lu Yanchen. But, they had already broken up – he should no longer be claiming that she was his girlfriend.

‘But, if it weren’t Lu Yanchen, who could it be? Other than him, who else?’

‘But, if it were Lu Yanchen, how did he know that she would be there and was treating others to a meal as well?’

Initially, she had thought that her heart was firm as a rock with a resolute will that wouldn’t waver at all. But for some reason, that firmness shattered with a single strike.

Why was Lu Yanchen popping into her mind out of nowhere?

Wasn’t it just a person who had footed the bill? Why did she relate that to Lu Yanchen?

This… might perhaps just be a misunderstanding…
