Sang Tianen felt like she was really possessed by a demon. She actually mistook Yan Zheng for that man. She quickly put her hand down and nervously explained, "Don't be afraid. I won't hit anyone."
Bewildered like a kindergarten kid who had done something wrong, Yan Zheng stared at her in surprise, as if wondering whether what Sang Tianen said was true or false.
"I really didn't hit anyone. It was just a conditioned reflex. I just remembered..." The more Sang Tianen explained, the more he felt like he was covering up. In the end, he simply leaned against the car door with a painful expression and covered his face with one hand.
Yan Zheng pursed his lips. He was indeed frightened the moment Sang Tianen raised his hand. At the same time, he also saw the fear in Sang Tianen's eyes.
It was as if she was the one who was about to be beaten, not him. He thought for a moment, walked up to Sang Tianen and asked, "How are you?"
Sang Tianen raised his head and looked at him, his expression was full of silent pity, like an abandoned puppy: "Just now it was really just a conditioned reflex, I really didn't mean to hit you, can you believe me?"
Yan Zheng looked at her for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "I believe you." If Sang Tianen really wanted to fight back, he would not have shown such a frightened look.
Sang Tianen let out a breath and smiled faintly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body. "Thank you for believing in me."
For a second, Yan Zheng felt like a judge in the court, and Sang Tianen like a suspect facing trial.
He even felt that if he said the three words "I don't believe it", Sang Tianen would probably collapse on the spot, just like an innocent suspect who was found guilty.
"Were you scared just now?" He observed her expression calmly.
Sang Tianen's expression paused, and he smiled as if to hide his feelings: "Are you kidding me? Would I be afraid of a man like you?"
Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, Yan Zheng stopped asking. They weren't children who were willing to share everything. Everyone had secrets deep in their hearts that they couldn't tell anyone.
The air around them suddenly became quiet, and for a moment neither of them spoke.
Sang Tianen felt that he was really abnormal today. He didn't know if it was influenced by Yan Zheng or Xu Wenwen, but he was very easily anxious and angry.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't very nice just now."
Yan Zheng lowered his head, kicked the stone under his feet and replied, "I have a problem too."
"That's just my personality. I'll say whatever I want to say after just a few words. I hope you don't mind it."
"I didn't speak very nicely just now."
"No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."
Yan Zheng finally raised his head and looked at her, unable to help but chuckle: "How long are you going to apologize to me?"
"I just hope you feel better and don't get hurt by me." Sang Tianen said sincerely, "My apology comes from my heart."
Yan Zheng smiled again: "I found that you have a great advantage, which is that you can quickly recognize your mistakes and apologize sincerely."
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Sang Tianen said in a relaxed tone, "I also discovered a good point about you."
"What advantages?" Yan Zheng looked at her curiously.
"You look beautiful when you smile." Sang Tianen looked at him with a smile, the smile in his eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky.
Yan Zheng's breathing stagnated and he stared at her blankly. However, after a few seconds, he turned his face away again, and an indescribable bitterness surged in his heart.
"What's the matter?" The smile on Sang Tianen's face froze, and he looked uneasily at the man opposite who had just been talking and laughing.
"Sang Tianen." Yan Zheng suddenly turned his head and looked at her, his eyes filled with deep emotions. "Why are you always like this?"
"Ah?" Where did this come from?
"Always..." After flirting with someone but not wanting to take responsibility, Yan Zheng said the remaining few words in his heart.
"Yan Zheng, I'm not angry with you, but why do you only say half of what you want to say every time? It makes me confused. I really don't like this." Sang Tianen protested with a frown.
Yan Zheng bit his lip, finding it difficult to speak.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Sang Tianen couldn't help but suggest, "How about this, I see that you are in a pretty calm mood now, let's sort things out, okay?"
Seeing that she looked serious, as if she really wanted to solve the problem between them, Yan Zheng nodded silently.
"Okay, let's start with the first question. What do you mean I deliberately made men fall in love with me and then let me have my way? I don't remember doing any of that."
Yan Zheng didn't know how to explain it. It seemed that his impression of Sang Tianen was that he was a master at flirting with brothers who used scheming tactics, but in fact, Sang Tianen had a very good reputation in the company.
It is said that she has been introduced to potential partners by many people, and some male colleagues have pursued her, but she was rejected every time. It has never been heard that she has been ambiguous with anyone.
Except for himself... Thinking of this, Yan Zheng's face turned red.
"Second question, you kept telling me you had no money. Did I ever borrow money from you? Is it worth it for you to emphasize this to me again and again?"
Yan Zheng suddenly remembered the book Sang Tianen was reading when they first met in the cafe, so he whispered back, "Because you like rich men, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong target."
"I like rich men?" Sang Tianen pointed at himself with an incredulous look on his face. "Who told you that? Are you kidding?"
"Then why do you read books like 'How to Win the Heart of a Rich Man' and 'How to Make a Man Spend a Million Dollars with Three Sentences'?"
Sang Tianen held her forehead, feeling as if ten thousand alpaca horses were galloping through her heart. It took her a long while to recover. She gritted her teeth and said, "I read these books because I'm writing a novel about fraud."
"Writing a novel?" Yan Zheng half-opened his mouth and stared blankly at Sang Tianen. He had never expected the truth to be like this. "Then why are you so attentive to Nan Tian?"
"When was I attentive to him? Wasn't it because I wanted to know why you were so hot and cold towards me?"
After listening to Sang Tianen's explanation, Yan Zheng was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to bury himself, but when he heard that Sang Tianen cared about him so much, his heart suddenly felt sweet.
Sang Tianen watched his face turn pale and blue, and narrowed his eyes: "So you have always regarded me as a gigolo, right?"
Yan Zheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Sang Tianen at all, but even so he still felt an invisible pressure. Sang Tianen was very angry now because he misunderstood her as a gigolo.
"I'm telling you, Yan Zheng, I, Sang Tianen, would rather eat shit than eat food given by a man."
