Zong Ao barely touched his food, and halfway through, he excused himself to go to the restroom and made a phone call.
After he washed his hands, the other person sent him a text message, the content of which was pretty much what he had guessed.
Liu Rui indeed knew his identity.
Zong Ao felt nauseous thinking about the eagerness on Liu Rui's face earlier.
She should look in the mirror and see her face; it practically screams, "I could have had the luck to meet a rich young master."
Are power and money really that important? Yes, they are!
Is it important enough to change a person? Of course it can.
Zong Ao originally thought that Liu Rui was a different one.
Her smile was refreshing and refined, and her whole being exuded a purity that set her apart from people of that social class.
He liked this blank sheet of paper, and naively wanted people to protect it.
In the end, he was the most naive one.
Is there anyone in this world who is untouched by worldly affairs?
Born with their feet touching the dirty ground, they wander like zombies in the vast crowds every day, without autonomy, drifting with the tide.
Zong Ao rubbed his face and walked out of the bathroom.
The door to the private room was left ajar. Just as Zong Ao was about to push the door open, he suddenly heard Liu Rui's suppressed excitement as she spoke to someone.
His fingers moved off the doorknob and he stood in the doorway.
"Really, really! I'm 80% sure he's a rich kid!"
Do you know AS? The founder is his aunt, that female devil.
Definitely. I'll never forget you when I'm successful, after all, you were the one who brought us together.
If I marry into the main family, you'll be our matchmaker, and I'll definitely give you a big red envelope (gift money).
Zong Ao couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't push the door open immediately, out of consideration for their past relationship, and to save face for Liu Rui.
After she stopped and put away her phone, Zong Ao went inside.
Liu Rui was good at managing her expression; in just a few seconds, she changed to a gentle and concerned expression.
You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?
Zong Ao prepared to lay his cards on the table. He sat up straight and adopted a negotiating stance.
"I……"
He had barely uttered a single word when Liu Rui interrupted him.
Liu Rui took out her phone, opened an interface, and showed it to him.
She pouted slightly, revealing the coquettish tone of a girlfriend when she's jealous: "I was only gone for two days, and the platform has already caused this kind of thing. This trend of selling bromance is really disgusting."
To be honest, I thought you would refuse, Zong Ao. Haven't you always looked down on weak, spineless men like that?
She was referring to the joint activity between Zong Ao and Yi Mu. In fact, Zong Ao and Yi Mu barely had any physical contact on that occasion.
Compared to other male streamers on the platform who practically strip naked and grope each other's breasts to prove they're having an affair in order to attract viewers, he is a different story.
Zong Ao and Yi Mu's relationship was so strained that it barely even amounted to playing house, and they barely spoke to each other.
But for some reason, compared to the lukewarm response from the male anchors before, this time...
Zong Ao and Yi Mu, two people who seem to have nothing in common, have somehow attracted a lot of fans.
It's been two days already, and the buzz hasn't died down yet.
Although Liu Rui's tone was gentle, her words were not without sharpness.
Zong Ao hadn't even considered that since they weren't officially a couple yet, Liu Rui, as someone he was in a flirtatious relationship with, was being far too nosy.
Her brain had already responded immediately to her description of Yi Mu as "soft and weak".
His displeasure was no longer concealed, and in an instant, it was sharply directed at Liu Rui.
"Have you met Yi Mu? He's not a pushover. Shouldn't you consider your words before making casual judgments about others?"
Liu Rui was waiting for his apology when she heard this, and she didn't react immediately, her brain was a beat slow to process it.
"Wait, what do you mean by that? As your girlfriend, I don't even have the right to be jealous?!"
