Hearing this, Chen Erniu forced a wry smile and explained, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just here to be Qiu Yue's bodyguard, to escort her back and forth from Wang Village, that's all."
"Pfft! Sounds nice, bodyguard, bodyguard. But with all that guarding, before you know it, you two might end up in each other's arms!" Wang Hongmei's tone was laced with jealousy.
Chen Erniu looked at her in surprise. "What are you saying, Wang Hongmei? You can't be jealous, can you? We're just a couple in name only!"
Poked right where it hurt, Wang Hongmei couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed.
"Who said I'm jealous? Even if I was jealous, it wouldn't be over you, not in a million years!" Wang Hongmei defensively argued, though her words said one thing and her heart another.
Chen Erniu shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something when suddenly, he noticed a cool gaze directed their way.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the gaze was aimed at Wang Hongmei!
