"You! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Teased by Xu Fan, Guan Shimeng's face turned beet red.
Just moments before, she had indeed been thinking about Xu Fan, and now she felt somewhat guilty.
"By the way, why didn't you come forward just now?"
Xu Fan didn't delve further; instead, he quickly changed the topic.
He Si held a not insignificant status in Jinling, but Guan Shimeng's family was no less influential. If she had stepped forward, the problem would definitely have been easily resolved.
"Because I knew you would definitely protect me."
Guan Shimeng's response was decisive. Hearing this, Xu Fan shook his head with a wry smile, not knowing whether to praise her perceptiveness or her naivety.
...
After dropping Guan Shimeng home, Xu Fan drove towards his own place.
He had taken the day off, but ended up being busy the whole time. Now, Xu Fan contemplated whether to cozy up to Zhou Keren when he got home and try to finagle another day off.
"Stop the car!"
