"I thought you two had something going on, the way you've been defending Miss Wen so fiercely,"
"Where did you get that idea?"
Director Dong laughed as he speculated about Pei Zhiyao's relationship with her, but Pei Zhiyao abruptly interrupted him with his cold irony.
The man's attitude was strange.
He had just defended Wen Mian five minutes earlier.
The manner in which he had stood up for her was obvious to anyone who saw it.
Director Dong naturally thought their relationship was close, so intimate that it raised suspicion.
But now...
"My relationship with Wen Mian is normal. Don't spread rumors when you're out and about, or else some meddler might twist your words in all sorts of ways."
As he finished speaking, Pei Zhiyao casually took out a pack of cigarettes.
Although Wen Mian was still by his side, Pei Zhiyao seemed to ignore everyone else as he smoothly began to smoke.
Director Dong chuckled to himself but found it all rather strange.
