Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Was she nuts? Why did she spout nonsense in front of others?

Jiang Yining saw their strange expressions and thought that her plan had succeeded. She wanted to say a few more words to create a bigger effect.

However, before she could speak, Lu Zhi stood up and grabbed her collar.

He walked towards the dining room next door.

“What are you doing? Let go.”

Jiang Yining shouted in a low voice.

Lu Zhi kept a straight face and didn’t say a word.

When they arrived at the dining room and confirmed that Zhong Sese was no longer in sight, he threw her onto a chair and said coldly, “You’re lying.”

Jiang Yining tidied up her messy clothes, sat up straight, and said, “That’s right.”

“Why?” Lu Zhi’s eyes landed on her smooth face. “Are you jealous?”

Huh?

Jiang Yining’s black eyes widened. “Is there something wrong with your brain? How could I be jealous because of you?”

She had never loved him and had no feelings for him at all!

I low could she be jealous?

“Then why did you act like that just now?” Lu Zhi’s face darkened slightly.

Jiang Yining pursed her lips and said, “I just wanted to help you. Since you brought her home, doesn’t that mean that she meant something to you? A single man like you must like her… I’ll be the matchmaker for you…”

When Lu Zhi heard this, his black pupils shrank.

He spat each word slowly, “Zhong Sese is my cousin.”

Jiang Yining’s tongue almost slipped.

What was that?

His cousin?

“Isn’t she your business partner? How did she become your cousin?”

“Who told you that cousins can’t be business partners?” Lu Zhi asked.

The scene of Zhong Sese deliberately interrupting Lu Zhi’s words flashed across Jiang Yining’s mind. It was as if she had swallowed a goldthread.

Ahhhh!

That fellow must have deliberately made her misunderstand!

A woman’s evil interest!

Jiang Yining’s cheeks turned red when she thought of how hard she had put in her performance.

Lu Zhi also realized that his cousin was deliberately making Jiang Yining misunderstand. He said calmly, “Don’t try to make guesses in the future. If you want to do something, let me know in advance.”

“Mhm.”

Jiang Yining looked very calm on the surface, but she was secretly poking the voodoo doll in her heart.

“Alright, let’s go back. Don’t let my cousin wait for too long.”

“Mhm.”

Jiang Yining stood up and followed behind him.

The two of them returned to the living room. Zhong Sese asked with a smile, “What are you two whispering behind my back?”

Whispering my foot, this cousin of his was still pretending to be a stranger.

Zhong Sese was definitely an actress!

Jiang Yining cursed silently in her heart as she replied, “All Zhi and 1 were discussing about how to properly entertain my cousin.”

She deliberately emphasized the last word.

Zhong Sese knew that her trick had been exposed, but she did not feel guilty at all. “You don’t have to be polite with me. We’re all family. Just order whatever you want.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Oh right, Yining. Didn’t you just tell me that All Zhi dotes on you a lot? Come, let’s talk about it in detail. 1 really want to know how our thousand-year-old iron tree will perform after enlightenment.”

Jiang Yining refused to talk and kept quiet.

“Aren’t you very tired after a day of flying?” Lu Zhi took the initiative to help. “Go and rest, stop pestering Yining.”

Zhong Sese smiled evilly and said, “All Zhi, you’ve really changed after getting married.

You know how to dote on people now. Looks like you married the right person!”

The veins on Lu Zhi’s forehead twitched, but he did not reply.

Zhong Sese was indeed tired. She turned around, held Jiang Yining’s hand, and stuffed a gift box into her hands.

“This is a gift 1 brought back from Sweden to congratulate the two of you on your marriage. See if you like it.”

Jiang Yining didn’t even open the packaging and said without blinking, “1 like it, 1 like it very much! Cousin, go and rest!”

“Alright, 1 won’t disturb you two.”

Zhong Sese stood up elegantly and walked towards the bedroom.

Jiang Yining felt helpless..
