lu zhen’s voice was gentle, but there was a hint of maturity. the two children did not dare to refute and immediately became much more obedient.

“got it. we won’t do that again.”

since the two children had lost, they naturally didn’t have fried chicken to eat. however, song jia still bought two ice cream cones for them at a beverage shop by the roadside and warned them to treat others politely in the future.

it was unknown if it was because of the two ice cream cones or because the two children really admired song jia’s driving skills, but they seemed to have listened to song jia’s teachings. when they left, they even greeted lu zhen. “goodbye, sister!”

on the way back, lu zhen still felt that what had just happened was unbelievable. who would have thought that the boss of jia le would make a bet with two little boys?

“what are you laughing at?” song jia couldn’t help but ask when he heard lu zhen’s soft laughter.

“it’s nothing. i just think that we’re both quite childish. most adults won’t argue with children, right?”

“you can’t say that. children have their own thoughts. perhaps it’s because their families always treat them as children and don’t educate them seriously that they don’t know how to respect others. i beat them through the competition and treat them as equals. then, i taught them, and they would listen to me seriously.”

lu zhen nodded. “you have a point.” after thinking about it, she was embarrassed. “thank you. many things happened because you wanted to help me vent my anger. actually, i wasn’t angry. but i’m quite happy that you won against the two of them.”

“as long as you’re happy.” the man’s voice was magnetic and pleasant to the ears. when he said these words, there was a hint of doting. lu zhen’s heart inexplicably beat faster.

if not for her, song jia would definitely not have bothered with the two children today. he did this because he cared about his feelings.

lu zhen grabbed the corner of song jia’s shirt and what xiaoxiao had said flashed across her mind. “sister zhenzhen, i think president song really cares about you. indeed, no man can resist your charm!”

could it be that song jia really had that kind of feelings for her?

seeing that lu zhen was silent, song jia couldn’t help but ask, “what’s wrong? are you tired?”

at this moment, lu zhen didn’t know how to face song jia at all. if song jia really had feelings for her, wouldn’t she have to respond to him? however, she had no intention of falling in love at the moment.

but if she chose to make it clear to her boss directly, would it hurt his pride?

lu zhen would rather think that she was imagining things. if only song jia didn’t have that feeling for her.

forget it. anyway, song jia didn’t show a clear attitude now. if he didn’t say anything, she wouldn’t say anything either. the two of them would continue to interact as boss’s employees and ordinary friends.

“yes, i’m a little tired,” lu zhen answered song jia.

“you still have to work at night. it’s my fault for not thinking it through. i shouldn’t have let you work so hard. we’ll be there soon. rest well after we reach the hotel.”

“yeah, okay.”

song jia could feel that lu zhen seemed to have stopped talking, but he didn’t know why.

soon, they arrived at the hotel. the two of them parted ways at the elevator. after lu zhen returned to her room, she immediately lay on the bed like a dead salted fish.

xiaoxiao immediately put down her work and approached her excitedly. “sister zhenzhen, how is it?”

“what do you mean?” lu zhen said weakly.

“didn’t you just watch a movie? why are the two of you only back now? did you make any progress?” her small tone revealed a trace of anticipation.

“what progress can there be?” lu zhen got up from the bed and sat down to look at xiaoxiao. “xiaoxiao, i’d rather i was thinking too much. if song jia really has other thoughts about me, i don’t know how to face him.”

xiaoxiao looked at lu zhen in confusion. “what’s there not to face? the two of you are at the best age to date. it’s normal to feel tempted!”

lu zhen shook her head, not knowing how to tell xiaoxiao her concerns.

strictly speaking, song jia didn’t know her well. he didn’t know her past or how terrible she used to be. perhaps he was only interested in the current lu zhen. she had a beautiful face, would smile charmingly, and would speak appropriately.

jin zhan’s betrayal filled lu zhen with doubts about men. she did not believe that one person would love everything about another forever.

perfect love was a fairy tale, and the reality was that the only person you could trust and rely on was yourself..
