This...
Qiao Anlu awkwardly smiled, "No, you suffered."
"Glad you know!"
Qiao Anlu almost wanted to jump up and hit his head!
The next second, Ning Zesheng leaned over and kissed her, "I thought you would regret or be scared, but unexpectedly, you admitted our relationship yourself. It feels like being affirmed by you. It seems that you really do like me a lot."
That indifferent face now carried an air of triumph, appearing less cold than before. Qiao Anlu was momentarily dazzled, and upon realizing it, she quickly said, "Not as much as you like me."
"Of course, I naturally like you better."
Qiao Anlu felt proud at these words, "When did you start liking me?"
Ning Zesheng thought for a while, "Not sure, but it must have been three years ago."
"Three years ago?" Qiao Anlu was greatly shocked, "Back then you hadn’t called off the engagement with Gu Xiyao, so was I really the third party?"
Ning Zesheng rubbed his forehead.
"Wait, but three years ago, you clearly tormented me whenever you saw me. Is this really how you show affection?" She crossed her arms over her chest, leaning back in a self-protective posture, "Is it because I seem easy to bully that you like me? Just like how you bullied me all this time, tied me up the first time we met, made me sleep on the cold floor all night, even wanting to..."
As she kept mumbling non-stop, Ning Zesheng rubbed his forehead again, "I apologize for treating you that way the first time; after all, you broke into my room first, pinned me down so I couldn’t breathe, and kicked me to the floor underneath, making me sleep on the cold floor while I at least let you sleep on a carpet."
He acted as if he was already being very considerate to her.
Only then did Qiao Anlu recall that night, indeed she broke into Ning Zesheng’s room, not an empty one, and woke up to find no one because he had been kicked under the bed by her?
Heavens! Qiao Anlu was close to tears, wishing she could pretend not to know!
"So you took the chance for revenge later? Are you really that cruel?"
"Since then we were strangers, being too kind to a stranger might make you worry that I’d be lured away by others in the future." He said it seriously; Qiao Anlu then realized just how articulate Ning Zesheng actually was, how hadn’t she noticed before?
"Shouldn’t you have fallen in love with me at first sight because of my beautiful face and liked me? Why even go for attacking and revenge?" Qiao Anlu wouldn’t give it up.
Ning Zesheng couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, "I liked you, but not because of your beautiful face."
Qiao Anlu glared at him defiantly, quickly covering her chest, looking at him as if he were a pervert.
Ning Zesheng sighed lightly, stood up, and said, "I like you because you’re silly."
"Isn’t that the truth? Not silly might not have been bullied by you, and so easily became your girlfriend? I’ve lost out big time, being pranked for nothing and became your girlfriend for nothing. Truly a case of losing both the wife and the husband."
Ning Zesheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at her, "You even know such idioms."
Qiao Anlu stood up with a swoosh, pitifully wanting to walk out.
Ning Zesheng reached out and pulled her into his arms, "Are you angry?"
How could she not be angry? Qiao Anlu was grinding her teeth in fury, yet dared not jump up and hit his head.
"How about this, considering you’ve indeed suffered, I’ll take you to a candlelight dinner tonight, okay? Don’t you like it?"
Qiao Anlu gave him a sideways glance and ignored him, pushing the door to leave!
