“besides.” lu zhen’s smile revealed a trace of coldness. “so what if she looks like me? if she doesn’t have the ability, she can only be my low-end version forever. only those with strength are qualified to be my opponent. alright, don’t worry. go and rest first.”

lu zhen comforted xiaoxiao for a while. after xiaoxiao left, she was still not sleepy. she took out her tablet and looked at the online class. as she read, she took notes in her notebook. when it was time to meet bian lang, lu zhen packed up briefly, carried her bag, put on her mask, and went out.

coincidentally, she saw song jia at the door. although it had only been a few days, lu zhen felt that she had not seen song jia for a long time. she felt that song jia seemed to reveal a trace of fatigue. when their eyes met, both of them felt an unfamiliar feeling.

it was as if they had gradually distanced themselves from each other.

‘good morning. going to work?” lu zhen greeted him. after all, song jia was her boss. she had to take the initiative when it was time to greet him.

song jia didn’t answer. he looked at her calmly and said, “ye xuan asked me to pay attention to you and bian lang. how are you and bian lang?”

hearing song jia’s words, lu zhen felt a little awkward. when she had a scandal with ghost, she had promised song jia that such a thing wouldn’t happen in the future. however, not long after, she had another scandal with bian lang.

however, lu zhen felt that she could not be blamed for these two things. she was honest in her heart. she did not know why there were so many scandals about her.

“i’m going to eat with him today to make things clear,” lu zhen said.

song jia frowned. “are you going alone?” after saying this, song jia seemed to realize that he was paying too much attention to lu zhen’s matter and fell silent again. what did it have to do with him who lu zhen wanted to meet and eat with? when the elevator arrived, song jia walked out. after some thought, he turned to lu zhen and said, “be careful. call me if anything happens.”

not long after, lu zhen arrived at the cafeteria she had agreed on with bian lang.

seeing lu zhen come over, bian lang, who had been waiting in his seat, stood up.

today, lu zhen was dressed very casually and did not even put on makeup. bian lang was very experienced with women. he instantly felt that lu zhen didn’t seem to take today’s date seriously. this made bian lang feel a bit uncomfortable.

for today’s date, he specially went to custom-made a suit and even chose a location for a long time. in the end, lu zhen’s attitude was completely different from his.

this cafeteria was located on the top floor of the regis hotel in beijing. there were a variety of ingredients here, all imported fresh ingredients. looking out of the large and bright floor-to-ceiling glass, one could see the entire city.

the attendant served the ordered dishes, but lu zhen did not have much of an appetite. she forced herself to eat a little before putting down her knife and fork.

bian lang asked with concern, “why aren’t you eating anymore? don’t you like it? what do you want to eat? i’ll bring you there.”

lu zhen shook her head slowly. “mr. bian, let’s talk business.”

bian lang sighed and looked up at lu zhen. “you still don’t believe me?

what did this have to do with believing him? lu zhen didn’t like a man like bian lang at all.

bian lang continued, “i know you might have some misunderstandings about me, and there are some unreal rumors about me on the internet, but i promise you that i treat relationships very seriously. you can rest assured about this…”

lu zhen couldn’t stand it anymore and had to interrupt him. “mr. bian, this has nothing to do with anything. i just don’t want to fall in love.”

“are you dissatisfied with me?” bian lang looked at her with great incomprehension. “what are you dissatisfied with about me? tell me, i can change.”

lu zhen was about to suffocate. “you’re fine, but we’re not compatible. i’ll say it again. it’s impossible for us.”

“why are we impossible? can’t you let me love you properly? i’ll give you happiness. with me around, you don’t have to go to work anymore. i’ll give you whatever you want.”

“i like to work. i like to earn money.” lu zhen’s expression was serious and cold.

“little fool, why do women have to work so hard? i can just raise you.” bian lang’s tone carried a trace of pampering.

lu zhen resisted the urge to pick up her bag and leave. she suppressed the frustration in her heart and said, “mr. bian, don’t say such mushy words. i’m not used to hearing them. keep them for other women..”
