Chapter 80

Pu Jianyi paused for a few seconds. He was caught off guard by that answer.

Tong Xuelu lifted her brows some. “I am just kidding with you, Comrade Pu. It is ‘lu’ (green) as in ‘the grass is green’.”

Pu Jianyi, “……”

He still felt that something was off.

He didn’t think much of it but brought up the question that he was interested in again, “Then, may I ask if you are in a relationship with Rugui?”

Tong Xuelu’s eyelids shuddered a few times gently and she put on a shy look, “Yes.”

Pu Jianyi was very excited when he heard that. “Really? You two are really in a relationship?”

Tong Xuelu said with a serious look, “Of course it’s true. We have been dating for over a year now.”

Over! A! Year! ! !

Pu Jianyi was stunned by the news. It took him a while to recollect himself.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I can’t believe he’d hide something like that from me! I asked him just yesterday and he told me he isn’t seeing anyone! How could he!”

Yup. She was right. There was no way Wen Rugui would have said such a thing given his personality.

Tong Xuelu’s pretty brows raised a little. She took a step back and started her performance.

She covered up her mouth and looked at Pu Jianyi dubiously, “If Rugui hadn’t told you about us, how did you find out about me?”

Pu Jianyi scratched his head and chuckled. “Well, that, hehe……”

Tong Xuelu took two more steps back and frowned at him. “Are you scheming something? Better be out with it now. Any more ‘hehehe’ and I am going to scream!”

Having said that, she looked around and looked like she was about to start screaming.

Seeing that she really was going to scream, Pu Jianyi panicked. “No, no, no, Comrade Tong. Don’t do that. I don’t have any bad intentions. I only know about you because last time Rugui……”

In order to alleviate Tong Xuelu’s worry, Pu Jianyi quickly told Tong Xuelu everything about how Wen Rugui had asked him to help with Tong Zhenzhen’s incident previously and how he happened to find out about her case this time and informed Wen Rugui about it.

After listening to the entire story, Tong Xuelu was stunned.

She never expected that Wen Rugui would help her out.

She had thought that she had been very lucky, and things had gone very well because of her plans.

That being said, why did he help her?

Was it because she was pretty?

A beautiful face could achieve a lot. Then she recalled Wen Rugui’s cold face. She shook her head. He didn’t seem like that kind of a person.

Over on this side, after Pu Jianyi had explained everything, something had occurred to him. “No, wait. If the two of you had been dating for over a year, you should have met Old Mr. Wen already. Then why was he still sending Rugui on arranged dates just a while ago? Did Rugui not tell his family?”

So even a handsome boy would be made to go on arranged dates.

Tong Xuelu frowned a little and was about to tell him the truth, “He did not tell it to his family because……”

Before she could finish up what she was saying, she was cut off by Pu Jianyi, “Comrade Chairman had said that any relationship without the intention of getting married is the behavior of hooligans. I have never thought of Rugui as a hooligan!”

Tong Xuelu, “……”

No wait. Comrade, why don’t you let me finish with what I was saying first?

Over at the base, Wen Rugui sneezed. It almost ruined the result of the experiment that he had just completed.

The more Pu Jianyi thought about it, the angrier he got. “Don’t worry about a thing, Comrade Tong. I will help you out here. I will make sure that he owns up to it.”

“No, that really won’t be necessary because……” Tong Xuelu gave him a very innocent look. “Comrade Wen Rugui and I are not in a relationship.”

Pu Jianyi was stunned when he heard that. His brows that were all over the place from anger had yet to return to their normal positions. “Didn’t you just say the two of you had been dating for a year?”

Tong Xuelu’s lips curved. “I was just messing with you. That being said, Comrade Pu, you are a cop. There are a lot of bad people out there. You really shouldn’t just believe in everything that others say. You are too gullible that way.”

Pu Too-Gullible Jianyi, “…………”
