"I totally couldn’t tell. Sister Yan Hua gave me a very gentle feeling," Lin Duoduo said in surprise.
"Don’t judge a book by its cover," Li Bielang chuckled foolishly, "Look at me, how cute I am. I’m adorably simple, loved by everyone. But still, aren’t there so many Demon Exorcists who want to kill me? Right?"
Lin Duoduo: "..."
Mo Bai Ning: "..."
This example renders one speechless.
So true.
Tuoba Wu was still in a state of daydreaming, not joining in the silence.
"Get in touch with Hu Yiqiao and ask her to come over," Tianmiao said to Lin Duoduo.
"But, won’t she expose my identity?" Tang Zheng asked, somewhat worried.
"No. I’ll handle it," Tianmiao said with assurance.
"Alright, thank you," Tang Zheng relaxed. The few Demon Exorcists present seemed to all look up to this woman named Tianmiao, and after hearing her promise, Tang Zheng didn’t quite understand why his heart felt so settled.
Hu Yiqiao, upon hearing they had found someone, dropped what she was doing and hurried over.
Then she saw Tang Zheng sitting upright in the courtyard, drinking hot water.
"Tang Zheng, you’re okay, that’s great. I’ve been looking for you, I was really worried," Hu Yiqiao rushed in front of Tang Zheng excitedly and happily said.
"Manager Hu, please sit down," Tang Zheng gestured with an invitation, "Let’s sit down and talk, okay?"
"Oh, sure, sure," Hu Yiqiao hadn’t taken her eyes off Tang Zheng since she came in, her gaze so intense that even a blind person could see her intentions, "Why did you suddenly resign? I’ve been looking for you for so long."
"Manager Hu, why are you looking for me?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Because, because..." Hu Yiqiao stammered a bit, embarrassed to state her true purpose in front of so many people.
"I’ve always thought of Manager Hu as a great partner at work, beyond that, I don’t think I’ve shown any other intentions," Tang Zheng said coldly.
"I, I like you. You suddenly resigned, I... I didn’t get to tell you how I feel," Hu Yiqiao blurted out her intention in urgency.
"Well, now I know. Then, I explicitly refuse," Tang Zheng said coldly.
Hu Yiqiao was stunned, completely taken aback by such a casual rejection, she couldn’t accept it and frowned, "Am I not good enough? I consider my looks and background nothing short, why? Can’t you give me a chance?"
"Manager Hu, I have no intention of falling in love," Tang Zheng pushed up his glasses, "These feelings would only affect the things I’m pursuing."
At this moment, Tuoba Wu came to life, muttering softly, "Yes, women affect my becoming stronger. I agree on this point."
"Idiot," Lin Duoduo rolled her eyes at Tuoba Wu.
"What are you pursuing? Maybe I can help," Hu Yiqiao asked eagerly.
"I have nothing to disclose," Tang Zheng waved his hand, "Now that everything is out in the open, Manager Hu, can you please stop affecting my life?"
"Impossible!" Hu Yiqiao suddenly shouted, "I’ve lived this long, and this is the first time I have feelings for someone. I don’t want to give up just like that. I will wait for you until you’re ready for a relationship."
Tang Zheng raised his hand to rub his forehead, glanced at Tianmiao, who smiled and nodded.
Tang Zheng felt reassured, looked at Hu Yiqiao, and asked, "What do you like about me?"
