Chapter 1960: I Can Take a Beating

“Ah…” Nan Jiaojiao was momentarily stunned, her run-away-from-home emotional intelligence temporarily returned, and her mood went through a big shift, “You’ve reconciled! How unexpected and surprising, congratulations!”

Lu Zhenzhen rolled her lips, silently swearing a couple of dirty words.

Gao Zhe found it amusing, pinched her cheek, and handed over a bowl of yogurt for her to see. After she nodded, Gao Zhe scooped a spoonful to feed her.

“Alright, you might as well not pretend, the reaction you gave was too poor.”

Nan Jiaojiao shrugged, “Then what can I do? I’ve already made a great effort, and anyway, they’ll reconcile sooner or later.”

Lu Zhenzhen choked momentarily, raised her eyes to glance at Gao Zhe strangely. When he offered the yogurt again, she waved it away and then leaned on the armrest, arms bent over the rounded back of the chair, legs stretched straight, peeking outside at the magnolia tree.

“Am I really that hopeless, even you think so?”

“It’s not about being hopeless. After breaking up, the constant ambiguity and entanglement mostly lead to reconciliation, especially since you and Brother Ah Zhe are childhood friends. You’d have to be really awful to immediately find someone new. Neither of you can let go, getting back together is normal.”

Lu Zhenzhen clicked her tongue, feeling bored, “Then keep it a secret, don’t tell anyone, I’m embarrassed.”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed twice without holding back.

Is there really a need to keep it secret?

Even she could see it; everyone around here is smart enough to have noticed, they just won’t interfere with others’ relationships, being mere spectators.

“Did Gao Zhe explain everything clearly?” Nan Jiaojiao changed her tone, her casual manner transformed into something completely different.

Carrying an eerily cold murderous aura.

The box was very quiet. Lu Zhenzhen didn’t turn on the speaker, but Gao Zhe could still hear the voices from the other side.

He chuckled helplessly; these little girls target someone entirely based on closeness of relationship and their current mood.

Lu Zhenzhen slowly turned her head to stare at him, Gao Zhe sat up straight like a dutiful loyal grey wolf, too obedient to make a sound, his eyes subtly pleading for mercy.

She turned her head to laugh once, “Everything’s been explained clearly, the child isn’t his, I forgave him.”

Nan Jiaojiao wasn’t surprised, “That’s good.”

“Alright, I just wanted to let you know, I haven’t told Chu Yao yet. Tomorrow I’ll take Gao Zhe to Mist Garden for a meal.”

“Welcome.”

Nan Jiaojiao added another sentence, “Do you think if you tell Chu Yao, she’ll laugh at you?”

Lu Zhenzhen’s face instantly dropped.

This brat!

She directly hung up the call.

Gao Zhe moved over again to feed her yogurt, but Lu Zhenzhen shot him a piercing look, full of murderous intent. He withdrew his hand timidly and quietly put down the yogurt, spreading his arms in a resigned manner.

“Go ahead, I can take a beating.”

Lu Zhenzhen raised her eyebrow, “Feeling guilty?”

“Not quite guilty, but I know that familiar look of yours; you won’t calm down unless you beat me up.”

As for the reason, it’s not important.

If she’s calmed down, life is easier for him.

Lu Zhenzhen was indeed holding onto anger, but not directed at him. His survival instinct-filled reaction immediately soothed her. She leaned into his arms, pressing him down on the carpet.

Gao Zhe immediately protected her and her belly, “Be careful.”

Lu Zhenzhen pointed at his chin with her finger, “No beating, let me kiss a couple of times.”

Gao Zhe naturally leaned in his face.
