228 Do You Know What Kind of A Person She Really Is?

Jiang Ye stepped back. “What is it?” He kept a distance from strangers to avoid being scammed.

“I saw your girlfriend just now.” She looked hesitant and asked him, “Do you know what kind of person she is?”

“If I don’t know my girlfriend, who does?”

“She might not be what you think she is.”

“You know her?” Jiang Ye could hear the ambiguity in her words. Without changing his expression, he asked, “What kind of a person do you think she is?”

He Jia did not forget to add fuel to the fire. “She doesn’t have a good reputation outside. After breaking up, she still asked her ex for money and a shop. If her ex doesn’t give it to her, she will harass him.”

There was jealousy in her kind reminder. Jiang Ye knew countless people, and he could tell that she was up to no good.

He said calmly, “Who did you hear that from?”

“My cousin’s friend is her ex.” As if afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, she clarified everything.

Jiang Ye sneered. “He Qi?” He stared at her deeply. “You’re as bad as him.”

He Jia did not expect this reaction from him.

Her eyes widened. When she came back to her senses, she went from stunned to angry. “Can’t you tell right from wrong? I’m helping you!”

“You’re helping me by sowing discord?” His eyes were filled with disgust.

“How, how did I sow discord?”

“You know very well.” The moment Jiang Ye brushed past her, he suddenly said, “I forgot to tell you that you’ve got the wrong person.”

He left He Jia in a daze and returned to the lounge to tell Pei Yilan the whole story.

“Who’s He Jia?” She looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Ye’s heart softened under her gaze.

He put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean against his chest. Then, he looked for a photo from the filming team to show her.

“She’s very hostile to Lin Jiao.” He pointed at the woman on the screen. “Remind Lin Jiao to stay away from this woman.”

Although Lin Jiao was not an actress, it was hard to guarantee that she would not play dirty tricks behind Lin Jiao’s back.

She pouted and complained, “She’s really too shameless! She probably learned it from that little white lotus.”

“White Lotusr? Su Tian?”

“Who else could it be?” She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Why did she tell you this? Did she like you?””

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned. “I don’t think so.” He lowered his head and kissed her lips. “I can’t tell. She didn’t confess to me.”

“She definitely won’t confess in public.” Pei Yilan felt uncomfortable at the thought of He Jia thinking about someone she liked.

“Are you jealous?”

“No, she doesn’t deserve to make me jealous.” She turned on the phone screen and typed a long string of words

Jiang Ye watched as she sent out the first paragraph and started typing the second paragraph. A smile flashed across his eyes.

He hugged her tightly. “Are you writing a small essay?”

“AM I.” Pei Yilan smiled slyly. “I’m just explaining the situation and expressing my feelings.”

Buzz! Buzz!

Pei Zhi walked out of the cinema and led Lin Jiao to the washroom. He took out his phone when he was waiting for her outside.

He roughly read through it and sent a message to Qu Shao and Zhou Yanshen before replying with an ‘okay’.

“Hubby.” Lin Jiao wiped the water off her hands and held his arm with a smile. “Where are we going next?”

“The arcade.” Pei Zhi walked next door and exchanged 200 coins from the staff.

They played from the racing area to the shooting area, listened to different music and conversations, and finally stopped in front of a row of claw machines.

Lin Jiao tried three times in a row but failed to catch the StellaLou she wanted. She could not help but feel a little dejected.

“Hubby.” She tugged at the corner of his shirt, her fox-like eyes glistening. “Can you help me catch it?”

When she acted coquettishly, Pei Zhi’s heart itched. He was even willing to give her his life, let alone a StellaLou.

“Alright.” He threw in two coins and placed his well-defined hand on the handle. “I’ll get it for my wife immediately.”

Seeing that he was controlling the handle, Lin Jiao leaned on his shoulder and stared at the claw without blinking.

The claw fell but missed the target. Pei ZHi didn’t think of catching it in one go. Instead, he tried to move StellaLou towards the hole.

He calculated the distance. When he put the coin in for the second time, he caught it.

“Great!” Lin Jiao’s eyes were filled with joy.

She took the StellaLou from Pei Zhi and tiptoed to kiss his lips. “Thank you, Hubby.”

Pei Zhi’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Just a kiss?”

“There are other people here.”

“Follow me.” He turned to the two-person compartment where the shooting game was played. He lifted the black cloth and pinned her against the partition.

The next second, their gazes met. Lin Jiao raised her head slightly and felt his breath spraying at her.

LIn Jiao pursed her lips and glared at him, making his heart itch. She lifted the black curtain. “I want Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear. Hurry up and catch it.”

“Is there a reward for catching it?”

“What do you want?”

“I want you to promise me something.” Pei Zhi threw in two coins and hid the darkness in his eyes.

Lin Jiao agreed without thinking.

Staring at the machine, she got the Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear he’d effortlessly caught before she remembered to ask, “What is the reward you’re talking about?”
