Chapter 105: Why Didn't You Tell Me You Are Friends with Miss Lu

Lu Zhenzhen spoke softly, her tone laced with scorn, yet her smile could be described as nothing less than kind and benevolent.

Shen Shichu was so choked up he dared not respond; behind him, Ye Shiqing, who had been gleefully exchanging glances with Nan Jiaojiao, also turned red with embarrassment.

“Miss Lu is joking.

Shiqing is Jiaojiao’s friend.

She just came off a show, and I brought her here to eat.”

“Is that so?” Lu Zhenzhen scoffed indifferently, “Your fiancée is still hungry, yet I haven’t seen you calling to arrange a meal with her.

You’re quite diligent in arranging meals with your ‘little aunt,’ what’s the meaning of this?”

She had spoken the word “arrange” with particular emphasis.

Lu Zhenzhen deliberately raised her voice a bit, and soon, people began to look over.

Shen Shichu was standing facing the restaurant entrance, feeling the weight of various gazes like thorns on his back.

He couldn’t withstand it at all.

He didn’t dare provoke Lu Zhenzhen any further and offered her a polite smile; then, turning his head, he asked Nan Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, are you friends with Miss Lu?”

With a nonchalant expression, Nan Jiaojiao responded, “Yes.”

His eyebrows lifting in a smile, he asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Nan Jiaojiao retorted, “Why should I tell you?”

Shen Shichu took a deep breath, silently cursing her stubbornness, but some things weren’t appropriate to discuss too openly in front of Lu Zhenzhen.

“No matter, we can talk about this later.

Are you free tomorrow?

I can take you to take our wedding photos.”

Nan Jiaojiao blurted out, looking quite impatient, “I’m not free.”

Shen Shichu was immediately taken aback.

He had always complained about Nan Jiaojiao’s lack of emotion and her cold demeanor, but no matter what, she had never snapped at him before.

“Go on, darling,” Lu Zhenzhen pulled on Nan Jiaojiao’s sleeve, deliberately raising her voice, “It’s just half a month until the wedding.

It’s rare for President Shen to remember we haven’t taken wedding pictures yet.

He’s even cleared a day in his schedule for this.

How could you not be cooperative?”

Nan Jiaojiao gave her a look, unsure what Lu Zhenzhen was playing at.

She had made it clear over the phone with Shen Shichu to call off the engagement; they were only engaged, not married.

It was supposed to be an easy tie to sever with just a few words.

Did they need to emulate the engagement, hosting hundreds of tables to announce it to the world?

Just as Nan Jiaojiao was about to refuse again, Lu Zhenzhen kept giving her meaningful glances.

Swallowing the words she had in mind, Nan Jiaojiao said, “I’m free.”

Shen Shichu’s eyes flickered.

Humiliated by Lu Zhenzhen’s sarcasm, he jumped at the chance Nan Jiaojiao gave him.

“Good, then I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t spare him a glance and walked out directly.

Lu Zhenzhen’s car was parked outside the restaurant.

The driver was about to open the door when a hand suddenly reached out faster and opened it first.

“Miss Lu, please get in.”

Shen Shichu was holding the car door with one hand while the other blocked the roof.

He stood aside, the perfect gentleman at the entrance.

Lu Zhenzhen frowned, took out her phone, and dialed a number.

“Bring me a car, for tomorrow.

This one, after I get home today, take it to be destroyed.”

After giving the instructions, Lu Zhenzhen smiled slightly, “President Shen, no offense.

It’s not about you, the car is just dirty.”

Shen Shichu glanced at the bright pink sedan.

It was one of the first new models of the latter half of the year, globally limited to five, and it should have been less than half a month since it reached Lu Zhenzhen; the car was spotless, shining enough to see one’s reflection, where was it dirty?

Was she implying it was contaminated by his touch?

“But let me give you a piece of advice.

If you lack emotional intelligence, stop the blatant maneuvers.

Don’t be too wild-hearted, and don’t reach out too far.

Don’t think everyone is blind.

The blessing of all under heaven isn’t something you deserve to enjoy.”
