After finally wrapping up, everyone hurriedly retreated, feeling like this meal was awkward.

Qiao Anlu was almost the first to slip away!

Zhao Anqi had barely walked a few steps when Lin Ji Yang caught up, "Didn’t you say you wanted to have a good talk with me?"

He reached out to hold her, and Zhao Anqi said, "Over here!"

They walked to a deserted spot before Zhao Anqi spoke, "We’re both interns now, is this really the time for distractions? If the people at work find out, you might not have any trouble, but I’d be finished!"

"Who would dare let you be finished!"

Zhao Anqi breathed a sigh of relief, "So, how many days do you want me to be your girlfriend?"

"Well, I haven’t decided yet. You’re not my girlfriend yet. It depends on how we get along, but judging by our level of understanding today, we might be able to stay together for quite a while."

"Perhaps!" Zhao Anqi chuckled, flipping her hair, "Then I need to serve Young Master Lin well, or I might get kicked out unexpectedly."

"We haven’t even started, why are you thinking so much?" Lin Ji Yang, seeing her like this, felt his heart soften a bit.

Yet Zhao Anqi suddenly became serious, "I always think a lot about things! Lin Ji Yang, perhaps you don’t understand, as someone from a privileged background. When I was younger, I had to worry about what to do for the next meal while eating the current one. If things didn’t work out, I’d save half of this meal for the next."

Listening to her, Lin Ji Yang’s smile grew stiff; he had investigated her and knew she was telling the truth.

"If you need me to repay you for saving my life by being your girlfriend, that’s fine! But, you have to tell me the script, how far should I play the role, and when will you find it no longer entertaining? If it takes up too much of my time, it won’t work, because I still need to train."

Her words were inadvertently a subtle mockery of how he treated emotions like a game, yet she’s willing to play along as long as there’s a script.

Hearing her say this, Lin Ji Yang felt an uncomfortable twinge, "Do you really despise me that much? Is there nothing about me that makes me worthy to be your boyfriend?"

Zhao Anqi just looked at him silently, prompting Lin Ji Yang to add, "I’m handsome and have a background, wouldn’t you want to marry into a wealthy family?"

"Will you play this game until you marry me?"

Lin Ji Yang was speechless; he hadn’t thought that far ahead!

"Lin Ji Yang, we’re from two different worlds, it’s not suitable for us to play any games together! The person I’m looking for is someone to marry; I don’t want to waste time on this. If you want to play, write the script well, I’ll treat it as acting, but please control my appearances, thank you!"

She turned and left, leaving Lin Ji Yang standing there in a daze.

He wondered what was happening to him.

Feeling like he was mercilessly mocked yet lacking the energy to retaliate.

He suddenly started questioning the original issue, why insist on her being his girlfriend?

Because she’s beautiful?

Though she truly is beautiful!

Lin Ji Yang ran his fingers through his hair, feeling incredibly frustrated!

Suddenly remembering her lying in the car nearly lifeless and holding her fiercely, he had been so enraged he wanted to directly eliminate that damned fatty.

Her lying on his bed aroused his heart as well!

But, why did he want her as his girlfriend?

Because she refused, and he’s unwilling to let it go? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

It must be that!

Lin Ji Yang nodded to himself; he had never failed to get anything since he was young, and she was no exception!
