Heather kept her head lowered but could still sense a shadow moving toward her. She abruptly raised her head, only to yelp in pain.
She had lifted her head too quicklyâinstant headache!
Yi Yang, standing to the side, didnât know how to respond, so awkwardly said, "Miss Hai, be careful... You did just get a concussion."
"Seriously? A concussion?"
"Of course. That thing was solid, and Tang Ming wasnât exactly gentle. It was dangerous."
"Why act so dramatic?" The person speaking was Nian Shen, who was holding her. He adjusted her posture, helped her sit up higher, and even placed a cushion behind her back. "Iâm here to help you, not harm you."
"Thanks..."
"Or do you think I came here today to settle the score with you?"
"Isnât that the case?" Heather looked at him with a self-assured expression. "Didnât you come to stick up for Miss Qu?"
Yi Yang, for some reason, chuckled, then came up with an explanation. "Miss Hai, our Mr. Nian isnât that kind of person. He knows exactly whoâs right and whoâs wrong. Miss Qu can be a little willful, so please, donât take it to heart."
If the roles were reversed, the outcome probably wouldnât have turned out this way. Yi Yang thought.
"Huh?" Heather was a bit stunned. "Isnât that...not okay?"
Seriously... To someone unaware, they might even think she was his girlfriend!
What kind of boyfriend allows his girlfriend to be bullied and then asks the bully to not take offense?
"Whatâs not okay about it?" Nian Shen asked her.
"Mr. Nian, did you have a girlfriend before?"
Nian Shen froze but soon nodded. "I did."
"And you broke up... You got dumped, didnât you?"
Yi Yang broke out in a cold sweat. This was...
Poking at the sorest spot possible!
Nian Shenâs lips twitched for a fraction of a second, but he managed to maintain his poker face and calmly replied, "How do you know?"
Heather chuckled. "Itâs obvious from the way you treat your current girlfriend. With you acting like this, which woman would willingly stay with you? Mr. Nian, you clearly donât know how to date anyone, do you?"
After saying that, she found it amusing and shook her head. "A successful manâwealthy, accomplished, has it allâbut doesnât know how to be in a relationship. Isnât that just ironic?"
Heather spoke with utter openness, and Yi Yang was sweating bullets hearing it.
However, Nian Shenâs expression remained unbothered. After listening to her comments, he simply asked back, "From what youâre saying, youâre an expert at relationships? Had a lot of boyfriends?"
Heather was immediately at a loss for words. "Uh... havenât eaten pork, but Iâve seen pigs running. Iâve watched plenty of romance dramas, so I know."
That guy was her first boyfriendâher one and only.
But strictly speaking, their relationship hardly qualified as a typical boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Between the two of them... It didnât even count as true dating, did it?
So where would she get any "relationship experience" from?
"Then teach me. How should I go about dating?"
"First off, whatever the girlfriend says is right. Even if you donât agree deep down, just keep it to yourself."
Yi Yang thought to himself, replace "girlfriend" with "Miss Hai," and it would fit perfectly.
As for Qu Leqi...
Forget it. Just call it a night.
"Got it." Nian Shen responded.
"Second, whether the girlfriend is being bullied or doing the bullying, always stand by her. Anyone opposing the girlfriend is the enemy."
Haha...
Yi Yang held back a laugh internally. Honestly, isnât it usually Miss Hai bullying others?
