Sensing the gaze upon him, Zhou Liqin was about to speak but...
"How much Zhao Liying tortured you to have you come here today?" Jing Lihua fixed her glare upon that handsome face and said plainly.
Whatever Zhou Liqing was about to say got stuck in his throat. He choked. "Zhao Liying? Who is Zhao Liying? I don't know her." He lied. "Ehm... You might have misunderstood. I came here because I was invited by Gu Peizhi. You know, everyone knows! We are best friends! I assure you, our encounter was only fate! Since I saw such a beautiful lady without the company of a deserving man, how could I let go of the opportunity?"
"And you think you are deserving?" Jing Lihua raised her eyebrow at him.
"That would depend on whether this beautiful lady deems me worthy to give me the opportunity to escort her." Zhou Liqin flashed her yet another beautiful smile.
Jing Lihua's eyes twitched.
