The person behind Xiao Zhiren also noticed her presence; he seemed stunned for a split second. Instinctively, Ru shrank and took Zhiren’s well-proportioned body as a shield.

"Bloody son of a bachelor! What the bloody hell is he doing here?" She whisper-screamed to herself with agitation.

It was rare for Zhiren to see her swearing. She usually had an eloquent way of speaking.

Through the glass walls along the sides of the corridor, she could see his figure coming close in curiosity and without even thinking, she held Xiao Zhiren’s collar and moved him along to the wall. The posture was ambiguous since she had her back pressed against the wall and Xiao Zhiren’s body was towering above hers. That left little to the imagination for onlookers and the person who was making his way towards her also halted in his steps.

There was certainly no way his Ru’er would be willing to have this close physical body contact with others. A certain person was thinking while retracting his steps to leave them alone. However, at the end of the corridor, he halted again. But was he really mistaking?

Suddenly, Ru’s phone vibrated and without even looking at the caller id, she said, "Bloody bastard! Just go already, why are you callingnow?"

"How do you know who’s calling?" Xiao Zhiren questioned curiously. Although she had dragged him along and was still clutching his collar, he definitely wasn’t the one complaining. Why would he? She was willingly so close to him that he could smell a hint of lemon and jasmine on her neck. That was one bittersweet combination but it still managed to overwhelm his rationality.

She slight nudged him while rummaging her phone out and coughed slightly as she picked up the call, "Long tno see, JieJie!" Hearing that familiar feminine voice, Xiao Zhiren was left even more stunned than he already was. How the hell did she do it? Hold on, the main point is, who is JieJie?

"Ru’er, where are you?" The question was the first thing that cas she had expected. What she didn’t expect was seeing Zhu Jie here in this clubhouse. And it shocked her so much that she decided to hide. If he knew she was in China for months without telling him, he’ll certainly won’t let her live in peace.

"Guess?" She tried being over-smart with him as always.

"Don’t want to." He answered plainly while his eyes were still stuck on the pair of men stuck close to each other in the corridor.

"How mean, JieJie! I had been in your dreams and yet you don’t care to admit?" Zhu Jie’s mouth twitched at her words while Xiao Zhiren’s heart stopped beating for a millisecond.

"I’m in no mood of joking, Ru’er!" Zhu Jie’s voice turned sharper making Ru want to curse him for reading through her tricks. This best friend was certainly not easy to fool.

"Okay, I’m in Zurich. Why? Can I help you with something?" Ru lied straight through her teeth while she had crossed her pointer over the middle finger of the left hand.

Zhu Jie stayed silent for a moment before saying, "Forget it. Tell me, how are you?"

Ru heaved a sigh of relief as she felt that she survived through his initial attacks. "Well, Zurich is a bit cold. So, why don’t you cover to givea big and warm hug? I’ll be fine instantly."

She really had no clue that her human shield was turning colder with each passing second.

"I’d love to give you a big and warm hug but I can’t. I’m stuck in Imperial Capital." Zhu Jie replied with a smile. It was rare seeing his best friend acting in a cheeky manner.

"Why are you in Imperial?" She tried to sound casual as much as possible.

"Have you forgotten? The Zhu Family lives in Imperial." Ru nodded as she suddenly thought how foolish her question was. "Anyway, what are you up to?"

"I’m busy." She replied solemnly.

"Oh, with what? And what about that lover boy of yours?"

"You can say, I’m busy trying to add that lover boy in my to-DO list." Her suggestive tone and complicated gaze were directed towards Zhiren who was busy brooding over his own thoughts.

Wasn’t Alev Knight enough of competition for him? Where was this person coming from? With the voice and tone that she used for him was really full of love and tenderness. It made his heart feel bitter and sour. This was so not fair with him.

However, Zhu Jie was coughing profusely as he really didn’t expect such words from her. Anyone but HER!

"It seems like lover boy is getting to your head."

"I feel the sway, bro!"
