"Ah?" Her eyes widened as she hastily put down the coffee cup, pulled out a tissue to cover her mouth, and barely managed to hold back a spray.
Shen Tianhao's smile vanished. "Xinlian, you were just saying..."
He stopped midway through his sentence, swallowing his words as Zhao Xinlian gestured with her eyes for him to keep quiet for the moment. Shen Tianhao understood the hint.
Next, Zhao Xinlian took out her phone, composed a message, and sent it to Shen Tianhao.
Buzz buzz buzz.
At Zhao Xinlian's prompting, Shen Tianhao took out his phone, opened his inbox, and began reading the message that said:
Tianhao brother, play along with me in this act. My ex-husband is right behind you. Don't turn around to avoid blowing our cover. I don't want him to have any illusions about me anymore. So, pretend to be my boyfriend and drive him away, please please.
So that was the case.
