Shang Keqin looked at him somewhat suspiciously. After yesterday and today’s interactions, she felt she understood him, but there was still a tiny trace of doubt in his eyes that bothered her, making her wonder what he was truly thinking.
“Oh! It’s… it’s…” Bai Ting-li bit her lip, leaning closer and whispering in Shang Ke-xin’s ear: “It means you would fall for someone you shouldn’t, just for the sake of eating.”
“Ah?!”
Shang Ke-xin was still in shock when suddenly, Li Ya-zi walked towards Pu Chang-jie, deliberately blocking him from Shang Ke-xin, her voice cold—
“Big brother.” She bowed respectfully. “Long time no see.”
Although they were both in Singapore, Pu Chang-jie had never allowed her to seek him out.
“Mm! Li Ya-zi, long time no see.” Pu Chang-jie spoke, but his deep eyes still flashed with displeasure, looking warily at Li Ya-zi and the Taiwanese woman whose origins he didn’t know.
“Ah…” When Shang Ke-xin discovered that the slender Japanese beauty was deliberately blocking her from Pu Chang-jie, she didn’t overthink it, instinctively grabbing Bai Ting-li’s hand, bypassing the Japanese woman and coming to Pu Chang-jie’s side.
“Ting-li, wait! Come! Let me introduce you. This is Pu Chang-jie, and this is my… my father’s assistant, Bai Ting-li. Chang-jie, do you know this lady?” She pointed at Li Ya-zi.
“Mm! She is…” Pu Chang-jie didn’t know how to describe his relationship with Akita Li Ya-zi, but Li Ya-zi spoke up—
“Hello, I’m Li Ya-zi. I’ve known big brother for many years.” Her gentle, light tone carried a hint of subtle hostility.
Shang Ke-xin raised an eyebrow, calmly accepting her hostility, and laughed lightly: “Is that so? I’ve known Pu Chang-jie for…” she looked at her watch, “three days and one hour and twenty-seven minutes!”
The warm, beautiful smile on Li Ya-zi’s face froze for a second, then she smiled forcibly: “Hehe… Now I understand why big brother is closer to her. She’s such a cute and frank girl. With big brother’s personality, of course he would want to specially care for a girl who needs her temperament refined!”
“Ah? What are you talking about? Needs her temperament refined?!”
Not only Shang Ke-xin, but Bai Ting-li beside her also frowned.
“Yes! You don’t know that in Japan, big brother is famous for…”
