91 Promise Me We Won’t Become Strangers

thought of asking for my opinion from the beginning, including this meeting.”

Facing such a ‘love rival’, Pei Zhi couldn’t be bothered to be jealous. He said calmly, “Given his personality, he’s not suitable for you.”

“I think so too.”

“Are you still hungry? I’ll order takeout for you.”

“I’m not hungry now.” Lin Jiao took off her high heels and changed into the slippers he had prepared for her. “I’ll go in and sleep for a while.”

Pei Zhi followed her into the lounge.

He covered her with the blanket and placed the thermos on the round table beside her so that she could drink when she woke up.

“Should I call you five minutes before lunch break finishes?”

“Three minutes.”

Lin Jiao wanted to stick to the bed.

She wrapped herself in the blanket and turned over lazily. “See you later, Uncle.”

“See you.” Pei Zhi closed the door.

He returned to his desk and ordered two boxes of desserts for her.

When she woke up, the takeout had just arrived.

Lin Jiao ran downstairs with the boxes.

From then on, she would go to his lounge to sleep at noon every day for an entire week.

On Friday, when Pei Zhi drove her home, he was already nervous.

He glanced at her and tightened and relaxed his grip on the steering wheel. “Jiaojiao, I can’t pick you up tomorrow.”

“Are you still going to the gathering in the evening?”

“Of course.” How could he confess if he didn’t go?

Lin Jiao did not catch the emotions in his eyes.

As usual, she stood outside the door and smiled at him. “See you tomorrow.”

“Jiaojiao.” Pei Zhi stopped her before she could turn around.

He thought for a moment and mustered up the courage to say, “No matter what happens, promise me we won’t become strangers, okay?”

“What’s going on?” Lin Jiao bent down and looked at him suspiciously.

“Nothing.”

Pei Zhi was not sure if she would accept his feelings and was eager to leave a way out.

He met her gaze. “Answer me first.”

“I promise.”

Under his expectant gaze, Lin Jiao said word by word, “No matter what happens, we won’t become strangers.”

“Remember this.” Pei Zhi gulped, “You can’t lie to me.”

“I won’t.”

“You can’t go back on your word.”

Lin Jiao did not know why he was so strange, but she still replied seriously, “I won’t go back on my word.”

Pei Zhi heaved a sigh of relief after getting her promise.

“Jiaojiao, I’m leaving.”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao looked in the direction where the car disappeared.

She walked along the stone path to the building. Before she could enter, she was stopped by a female voice.

“Miss Lin.” Su Tian looked at that beautiful face and felt consumed by jealousy.

She clenched her fists and smiled innocently. “Do you have time to talk to me?”

“I don’t have time.”

“Then I’ll keep coming until you have time. How does that sound?”

Lin Jiao did not expect her to be so persistent.

She rubbed the strap of her handbag and said calmly, “What do you wanna say?”

“It might not be convenient to talk here.” Su Tian raised her chin at the residents coming in and out. “Can we please find somewhere else?”

Lin Jiao followed her to a nearby cafe.

She sat at the square table and casually looked at the furnishings in the private room, looking like she didn’t intend to speak first.

She had the patience to wait, but Su Tian did not.

“Miss Lin.” She looked into Lin Jiao’s eyes and pretended to be friendly. “You’ve broken up with Quan for a while, right?”
