"I don't like her!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Jin'an raised an eyebrow and deliberately said:
"I didn't ask you whether you liked her or not."
Lu Peiting only then realized what was happening, his ears turning red to his neck in an instant, his body stiffening, and then he blurted out something inappropriate to try and take it back.
"This isn't the one I like now."
