Xu Rubao gasped. "He's just a contract worker. Aren't we overthinking things? Do you think there's any possibility between him and me?"
"Originally, I thought it was impossible. Maybe Lu Jingheng had been eating too much rich food and wanted some light porridge and vegetables. Anyway, I now feel that he treats you differently. You didn't see it. The day you were injured, he was so nervous. I was scared just watching him. He looked like he was going to eat you alive."
Xu Ziqing had considered it at the time, but she felt that Lu Jingheng was too terrifying and she was not worthy of him.
If Xu Rubao could, then she would certainly support her, after all, she was raised by the Xu family and would remember some of their kindness.
"Really? You're not seeing things, are you really just nervous?"
Xu Ziqing nodded. "I'm not blind. Besides, when you were hospitalized, didn't they take care of everything? How can you say they don't care about you? And what kind of person is he? He's someone you can hardly even see normally, yet he came to save you. At least he's willing to spend time on you. If he wasn't interested in you, would he have nothing better to do?"
After Xu Ziqing's analysis, it seemed to make some sense, and she also felt that Lu Jingheng didn't seem like such a free person.
Moreover, he personally prepared dinner for her tonight. At first glance, with roses and red wine, she thought he was going to confess his feelings.
In the end, there was nothing after the meal; she had been overthinking it.
"Xu Ziqing, it's best to keep this to yourself and not spread it around. It would be too embarrassing if it turned out to be untrue. Besides, I never said I would like him."
"You son of a bitch, Xu Rubao, have you no shame? If he were interested in you, would you still dare to be so picky? Are you out of your mind?"
Hearing her words, Xu Ziqing felt like she wanted to vomit blood.
"Mind your own business, just don't tell anyone."
"Alright, but you have to agree to one condition."
Xu Rubao was genuinely afraid that she would gossip, and so far, Xu Ziqing had kept her word.
“If you make any progress with him, you have to tell me. And you also have to create more opportunities for me, like banquets and such. If you have the chance to attend in the future, you have to take me with you. Like today, I got quite a few people’s numbers.”
Xu Rubao was taken aback. "You're using someone else's number? Aren't you still hung up on Lu Mingyu?"
"Of course I like Lu Mingyu, but right now the cross is missing a horizontal line, isn't it? I'm going to cast a wide net, so don't make sarcastic remarks. A well-fed person doesn't know the hunger of a starving person. You lose your humanity when there's a woman around."
Xu Rubao gasped. "Okay, deal."
"Remember to use the face mask."
Xu Ziqing felt she needed to wash her face. She hadn't noticed it before, only paying attention to her birthmark.
Now we've discovered that Xu Rubao, that bastard, has a face that looks better than someone who takes good care of themselves, even though she doesn't usually do.
Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. How come all the good things happen to her?
Ever since Xu Rubao got rid of her birthmark, it seems like her luck has been getting better and better.
It's unfair, so unfair!
Xu Rubao took a face mask and left, but Xu Ziqing's words kept echoing in her mind.
Although she wondered if Lu Jingheng might like her, she admitted that she was somewhat insecure and sometimes dared not think too much.
Now, hearing Xu Ziqing say that she was injured, and seeing the tense expression on Lu Jingheng's face...
At the very least, he must care about himself.
