Work ended ahead of schedule, so Tian Jingzhi took Xue Lingqiao to a steakhouse where she used to eat to celebrate his new job. On their way there, Tian Jingzhi couldn't help scolding Xue Lingqiao for scaring Hong Shiguang, “Don’t frighten others okay, it’s very scary. Who made you jump down from the roof so suddenly?”

“My wires were loose.”

“Then land further away.” Tian Jingzhi seemed to have a good impression on him. “Hong Shiguang is my colleague. We are all dedicating ourselves to charity. Why did you scare him? ... You simply don’t like him, right?”

Xue Lingqiao felt wronged, "Why did I hate him the first time I saw him?"

“Don’t you like Zhang Xuanxuan?”

Tian Jingzhi clicked her tongue twice, it was completely premeditated. He purposefully loosened the wires.

“Miss Tian. Firstly it was because Miss Zhang Xuanxuan was also on the set that I agreed to act. And you were the one who went ahead with this suggestion. It’s unreasonable to blame me for being too involved? Second, I appreciate Miss Zhang Xuanxuan's acting skills. And I also wanted to invest in my professionalism. Third, Miss Zhang Xuanxuan's fiancé was weak and easily frightened. How could it be my fault?”

Tian Jingzhi sneered and responded politely: “Forgive me for my offending words, but Mr. Xue, first of all, I just suggested and you were the one who agreed to play. Second, Zhang Xuanxuan is my best friend and a big nympho with distorted desires. I hope you give me a break! Third, The people I respect the most are people who seriously do charity, such as Mr. Hong Shiguang, who was scared to death by you. So I am worried that he is normal.”

Xue Lingqiao chuckled: “Only women and people with low morals are difficult to raise.”

Tian Jingzhi held back her laughter and pointed to herself, “Woman!” Then she pointed to Xue Lingqiao, “Low moral man!”

Tian Jingzhi let out a ‘Ohohoho’ princess-like laughter at Xue Lingqiao’s stunned expression. She put on sunglasses and got out of the car to enter the restaurant, leaving Xue Lingqiao waiting outside to park.

Tian Jingzhi pushed open the door of the steakhouse and followed the waiter inside.

There were all kinds of laughter and noise could be heard from the seats near the window. Those people should be arrested and taken to the police station for public disturbance. Tian Jingzhi glanced at them inadvertently, but quickly put back her half-removed sunglasses, and turned her back to the window nervously.

What’s going on? Were the police having dinner?

Li Yanzhi made a contribution to the international anti-arms smuggling case, and was coaxed by his colleagues, who wanted to treat him, so he chose this steakhouse. The topic of discussion at the table turned out to be the popular idol drama "The Overbearing President Falls in Love With Me". What the heck? The people's police also liked Mary Sue?! pure tl. com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

An oval faced girl held her face and said, “Why don't we make a bet to see if the second male lead will propose to Zhang Xuanxuan and be rejected, or if he can last until the wedding scene and watch her be snactched by the male lead!”

This woman's name is Shui Mingjing, the delicate darling to her parents, with fair skin and tender skin. However her marksmanship was at the top three in the entire police station, and she was in Li Yanzhi's squad.

“What's there to bet on? In the end the second male lead and second female lead will just be cannon fodder in the end.” It was Squid who answered the question, a big fool who thought that he was a prince charming to every woman. In fact, there was nothing in his head, he’s the type that would take half a day to figure out what one plus one equaled.

“Please, you don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder. Brother Xiaoyan, what are you betting on?” Crystal (Shui Mingjing’s code name) excitedly turned to Li Yanzhi.

Li Yanzhi, her childhood sweetheart and ex-boyfriend... Tian Jingzhi couldn't help but sing a chorus in her heart: Ah... Today we will gather and go to this beautiful spring together...

Another stupid administrative lady interjected, “Brother Xiaoyan will bet on the first option. After all, didn't you just reject Miss Tian a while ago? Squid boy, what you said just now was right because Miss Tian is playing the second female lead in the drama. She’s the second female lead in real life too! She has the life of a cannon fodder! I just don’t know who will win life’s lottery and become Xiao Yan's true destiny!”

Tian Jingzhi had already lost enough face. The Thirty-Six Stratagems states that if all else fails, the best last option is to retreat. So she took a menu to cover her face and was about to make a break for it. She bent down and wanted to run away quickly, but bumped into the waiter who was holding a tray. In an instant, red wine was poured on her head.

Every occupant’s eyes in the restaurant were successfully attracted to this side. Tian Jingzhi stood there dumbfounded, and the waiter apologized at a loss. The customers were chatting.

“...Ah, she looks like Tian Jingzhi.”

“No, she just looks a little like her.”

Tian Jingzhi turned her head awkwardly and met Li Yanzhi's eyes. Crystal and Squid had a good relationship with Tian Jingzhi. They wanted to say hello, but were too embarrassed to say anything.

Tian Jingzhi tried her best to squeeze out a generous smile. She nodded at the people sitting at Li Yanzhi's table and took the towel handed over by the waiter, and walked out expressionlessly.

One can get used to having bad luck. It was the same as losing face, once you lose enough, you will become numb. But why were there tears in her eyes…? The red wine on her body must be too choking!

Tian Jingzhi just walked out of the store when a strong hand grabbed her arm and dragged her back hard. Tian Jingzhi was startled, Xue Lingqiao's face showed no emotion, but Tian Jingzhi felt his anger.

“What are you doing? Let me go! Where are you taking me?!”

Xue Lingqiao didn't say a word as he dragged Tian Jingzhi straight to Li Yanzhi's table. Being caught bad mouthing someone by the said person had embarrassed everyone, but no one didn't expect the story to develop in another bizarre direction.

Seeing Xue Lingqiao, Li Yanzhi instinctively felt hostility. He subconsciously stood up and wanted to hold Tian Jingzhi's wrist and take her away from the man.

Before Tian Jingzhi could escape, Xue Lingqiao grabbed Tian Jingzhi's waist and locked her in his arms. Tian Jingzhi was no longer embarrassed. She wanted to glare at the crazy monster. However, when she looked up; Oh my God, this charming posture and crazed-eyes… Did he watch too much Domineering President? pure tl. com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

Did no one tell him that kind of character only exists in the second dimension?

Tian Jingzhi pinched him and whispered through her gritted teeth, “What are you doing, this is embarrassing!”

Xue Lingqiao smiled very tenderly and pinched the tip of her nose, as if teasing a cat: “Be good, don't make trouble, everyone is watching.”

Tian Jingzhi shuddered as if she felt an electric shock. She felt something was rolling in her stomach and awkwardly laughed, trying to keep a distance from him.

Xue Lingqiao nodded politely to everyone, showing a charming smile: “Let me introduce myself, I am Tian Jingzhi's boyfriend Xue Lingqiao. I heard from Xiaozhi that you have taken care of her a lot before, so I came to express my gratitude.” After a pause, he turned to look at Li Yanzhi, “Don't worry, she is my woman now, and I will take care of her for the rest of her life. Everyone enjoy your meal, we won’t bother you anymore.”

After saying this, in Tian Jingzhi's stunned expression, Xue Lingqiao hugged her with great grace and turned to leave, leaving behind the starry-eyed, infatuated policewomen.

Li Yanzhi stood motionless as he watched them leave. With a blank face, he sat down again to pick up the knife and fork to eat.
