[WrongThenWrong] Chapter 64.1 — Day 22: You Bit Me?

After the exhibition, Ji Chaozhou and Cheng Liu left first, and Ranshan’s matters were handed over to Tang Fanglu.

As soon as they walked out of the exhibition hall, the night wind blew over them.

Cheng Liu’s sleeves and shoulders were only covered with a decorative gauze, which was transparent. Before Ji Chaozhou could raise his hand to unbutton his suit jacket, she had already turned around, grabbed his hand, and rushed into the car that was waiting outside.

She stuffed herself and Ji Chaozhou in, quickly closed the car door, and then said to the driver, “Go.”

The whole set of movements was so smooth that Ji Chaozhou didn’t even have time to react.

Ji Chaozhou: “…”

He should have expected that Cheng Liu’s way of thinking was not normal.

The two of them sat side by side in the back seat. Cheng Liu yawned. She had no interest in the exhibition and simply wanted to be with Ji Chaozhou.

The car hadn’t been driving for long when her cell phone vibrated several times.

Cheng Liu opened her phone and saw that it was a message from Director Li.

Li Dong: [Cheng Liu, you bought my house for other purposes.]

Li Dong: [Boss Ji’s son is your boyfriend? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You even bought the villas separately. Had you bought them together, I would have given you a discount.]

Li Dong: [Wait, no wonder the house of your boyfriend and Mr. Ji’s son both caught on fire! Tsk tsk, Young President Cheng, you are really good at making big things happen with barely a sound.]

Li Dong: [Your trending photos are pretty good. When can we have dinner together? My wife wants to meet the talented perfumer from Midu.]

Li Dong sent several messages in succession, but he still couldn’t calm himself down. He was so envious and also felt jealous,

thinking about what the media wrote after his wife Yang Fanyu made their relationship public. They said things like flower stuck in cow dung or that he paid Yang Fanyu to be with him.

Now look at Cheng Liu’s situation: just a few photos have driven the media and netizens crazy.

But you know what, when Young President Cheng dressed up seriously, she really stood out.

Cheng Liu sat in the car, thought for a moment and replied to Li Dong: [Let’s have dinner together later.]

She didn’t say Ji Chaozhou was her boyfriend.

If she told Li Dong about the previous mistake, she could predict what would happen: within an hour, everyone in Li Dong’s circle of friends would know about it.

Young President Cheng knew in heart: when they get married in the future, the one thing to kept extremely secret would be the mistake she made.

Ji Chaozhou glanced at Cheng Liu indifferently, “Are you busy? I can take you there first.” After getting in the car, she has been sending messages.

Was she messaging Wang Hongyang?

“Not busy,” Cheng Liu put down her phone and took the initiative to explain, “It’s Director Li from Dongchu Hotel. He said his wife wants to have dinner with you.”

Director Li from Dongchu Hotel… Ji Chaozhou remembered that this person was the original owner of the villa and Cheng Liu’s friend.

“Okay,” Ji Chaozhou agreed.

Cheng Liu: “!”

Had she known he would easily agree, she wouldn’t have been so talkative! She would definitely be exposed if they were to have dinner together, right?

“I don’t have much time recently. Let’s make an appointment later,” Cheng Liu quickly said.

Ji Chaozhou looked out the window, “It’s up to you.”

The car fell silent again. Cheng Liu opened her Weibo and as expected, they were on the trending search. She read the comments and realized that Ji Chaozhou was wearing the watch he had lent her before.

Does he only have one watch?

Although Ji Mushan was rich, Cheng Liu remembered that his relationship with Ji Chaozhou as a father did not seem harmonious, so Ji Chaozhou would definitely not use his money.

Young President Cheng turned her head to look at the wrist of her beloved and felt a little touched: he only had one watch and he still wanted to lend it to her.

When they get together, she would definitely buy him many watches!

Perhaps because Cheng Liu’s gaze was too scorching, Ji Chaozhou turned his head to meet her gaze and slowly pulled his sleeves down.

“We seem to be on the trending search list,” Cheng Liu said, probing, and she handed the phone to Ji Chaozhou.

The entire screen was filled with a photo taken by Kong Zhouyun, and there were all kinds of comments below, with the vast majority of netizens automatically thinking that they were a couple.

Ji Chaozhou took the phone and flipped through it slowly. He was not surprised by the comments.

He deliberately wore the same watch to walk down the perfume exhibition red carpet. The purpose was to let the media take pictures of the watch. With the observation skills of some netizens, they could quickly tell that the watch Cheng Liu was wearing before was his.

However, some content published by a media outlet made Ji Chaozhou’s eyes turn cold.

Someone sent out a picture, which was a photo of Cheng Liu and Wang Hongyang separated by a high table inside the exhibition.

[Who is this? His profile looks a bit like Ji Chaozhou.]

[I remember it was a male model named Wang Hongyang, I could be wrong.]

[Still a little bit inferior to Ji Chaozhou of Ranshan.]

[Does President Cheng like this model? ]

Ji Chaozhou stared at the last comment, remained silent for a long time, and returned the phone to Cheng Liu.

“You…” Cheng Liu keenly noticed that Ji Chaozhou’s mood seemed to have changed. She asked carefully, “Are you unhappy that they thought we are together?”

Ji Chaozhou avoided Cheng Liu’s gaze and slowly clenched his hands at his side, “I’m just tired.”

“Then, you sleep for a while first, I’ll wake you up later,” Cheng Liu hesitated.

Ji Chaozhou didn’t close his eyes. After a long while, he suddenly asked her, “Why did you break up with Wang Hongyang?”

Cheng Liu was stunned for a moment, then whispered, “I didn’t like him.”

“Did you get tired of each other after being together for a long time?” Ji Chaozhou turned his head and looked at her.

Cheng Liu opened her mouth, wanting to explain that she no longer had any feelings for Wang Hongyang from the second time they met, but she felt that this was not something she could explain.

It would even seem that she was disloyal and only liked Wang Hongyang for one night.

“Maybe— I didn’t think it through before,” Cheng Liu stuttered.

When facing challenges at work, Young President Cheng could immediately think of several plans to deal with her opponent. When facing Ji Chaozhou, her brain was at a loss.

After trying for a while, she finally remembered to change the subject and asked Ji Chaozhou, “Do you have anyone you like?”

“No.”

In Cheng Liu’s opinion, Ji Chaozhou said this almost without thinking.

It wouldn’t be too much to say that she felt disappointed. Cheng Liu felt that what happened in the past few days had heated up the relationship between them, and his words undoubtedly poured cold water on her.

Forget it, even if he didn’t like her, he didn’t like anyone else.

T/N: I think Cheng Liu was seated on a ‘high table’ like this—not those big circular banquet tables—which meant Wang Hongyang was standing pretty close to her.
