Hmm?
Lin Chen felt his brain short-circuit.
The woman who was just hugging Lu Dingwu and kissing him on her own initiative was now holding Lin Chen, telling him in a coquettish tone that she and Lu Dingwu were just putting on an act and that she actually liked him?
Damn, why does this feel so familiar?
Playing the field?
Casting a wide net to keep many fish?
Lin Chen didn't know what to say and fell silent for a moment, but this silence seemed to the woman as a sign of a man's anger.
Don't men like to be silent when they're angry?
A man's silence indicates anger, resistance.
The beautiful woman chuckled softly, wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's waist and pleaded in a tender voice, "Brother Sheng, don't be angry, okay? Haven't I explained to you? My being with Senior Brother Lu is just for show because of my family; the person I truly like is you. Don't you believe me?"
