“Did you like me long ago?” Jing Hanchuan’s voice sounded magical, making her heart tremble.

It was as if someone had exposed her long-hidden thoughts. For a while, she was embarrassed and kept drinking water, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Actually, even Xu Yuanfei didn’t know when some feelings had been born.

Because the two families were not on good terms, they naturally compared themselves in private. After paying more attention, she felt that Jing Hanchuan was becoming more and more distinctive.

Sometimes, she had even secretly gone to Chuanbei and walked around his house, wanting to meet him by chance. But if the gate of the Jing residence really opened, she would be scared out of her wits and wished she could hide.

Anyone who had their thoughts exposed would feel guilty and uneasy.

Just as she was feeling anxious…

A certain someone’s low laughter came from beside her. “I know your intentions. Order. I’m a little hungry.”

Jing Hanchuan saw that her face and neck were completely red. She was so cute that it was against the rules, so he naturally wouldn’t continue forcing her. Some things were fine as long as they were clear with each other.

Xu Yuanfei coughed twice. Know my intentions?

Why does this sentence make my heart palpitate?

Xu Yuanfei suddenly felt that she didn’t seem to recognize the man in front of her. He clearly wasn’t like this in the past. But now…

It was a little overwhelming.

At this moment, it was no longer the peak period for hotpot restaurants to operate. The soup base and side dishes were served very quickly. The two of them cooked a plate of mutton first. Xu Yuanfei mixed a bowl of slightly spicy sauce and dipped a slice of mutton in it before taking a bite.

Then she heard the person beside her say lightly, “There are rumors that I eat people and kill people like flies. Some people even say that I’m born vicious, sinister, and unpredictable, that I’m a complete devil. Some people even say that I’m born to be alone and that I’m a jinx to my wife’s life. These rumors…”

Cough! Yuanfei’s stomach and throat were burning from the chili.

Her mouth was drying from the heat.

She took a sip of water nervously. “This…”

Can’t we just eat hotpot properly? Why did you have to bring that up?!

If this continued, she was afraid that she would really cry.

Tonight was already thrilling enough.

“I once tried to find the source of the rumors, but I found nothing. However, this evil wind is getting stronger and stronger. It’s strange that I couldn’t find the source. Logically speaking, it should have been easy to trace it.

“Say, who would be so bold as to slander me outside?

“Is it that this person is afraid I’ll be desired by others and wants to hide me?

“I once thought that if I found out who spread the rumors and caused trouble, I would definitely hang her up and beat her.”

Xu Yuanfei felt that she was really about to die.

Chewing on the delicious stewed mutton felt like chewing on cardboard, and it was difficult to swallow.

She bit her lip but didn’t deny it. “I got someone to say it.”

For Jing Hanchuan to mention this matter, he definitely had some plans in his heart. Her identity had already been exposed, so she didn’t mind admitting another crime.

At this moment, she felt a shadow pass by. She suddenly looked up and saw Jing Hanchuan suddenly raise his hand, looking as if he was going to slap her.

She closed her eyes almost instinctively.

It was indeed not kind to spread rumors behind his back. Even if Jing Hanchuan scolded her a little, she would accept it.

But before the expected pain came, someone held the back of her head…

And softness landed on her lips.

“If it’s you…

“It’s alright.”

Jing Hanchuan had once been troubled by these rumors, but these speculations had indeed helped him block many rotten peach blossoms. Later, he let it go.

If someone really liked him, she naturally wouldn’t be swayed by rumors.

Since she had spread the rumors, Jing Hanchuan actually felt that it was a little funny and even cute.

Because…

She was possessive of him.

This feeling of someone wanting to monopolize him seemed pretty good.

“But my reputation is ruined. Shouldn’t you be responsible to the end?”

Xu Yuanfei almost blurted out, “I’ll take responsibility! I’ll definitely take responsibility.”

Xu Yuanfei had been looking forward to this for a long time.

Jing Hanchuan laughed out loud. He lowered his head, took out the sheep’s head from the soup pot, and placed it on her plate. “How are you going to take responsibility? Are you going to marry me now?

“Are your father and brother willing?

“When our relationship is exposed, I’ll probably die.

“Don’t tell me you’ll steal your residence booklet? Act first and report later?”

Jing Hanchuan was just joking. Seeing that she was nervous, he said this casually to ease the atmosphere.

But Xu Yuanfei was interested. She bit her chopsticks. Stealing the residence booklet really seems possible.
