Chapter 1132 - 1132 1115 Extra Story Nineteen (16)

Chapter 1132: 1115, Extra Story Nineteen (16) Chapter 1132: 1115, Extra Story Nineteen (16) If she said yes, the reporters would definitely keep asking, and she feared she could never explain it clearly.

She silently moved a step to the side and whispered, “Tianlin, why aren’t you saying anything? People are misunderstanding our relationship— you need to clarify it quickly.”

“What is our relationship?” Jian Tianlin asked with a deep voice.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Maomao said. “We’re just friends, of course.”

“If we’re just friends, then what’s there to explain?” Jian Tianlin’s eyes darkened as he spoke evenly.

Damn this ‘just friends’ relationship.

What a oblivious fool.

“Without an explanation, they’ll all start guessing, and besides, you have a girlfriend. If you don’t explain, how will she feel?” Maomao said in a hushed tone, her voice tinged with a touch of jealousy she didn’t recognize. “If she gets angry, it’s your problem.”

Jian Tianlin’s lips curved slightly. “How do you know my girlfriend will be angry?”

Maomao snorted, “I don’t have time for this.”

The two of them spoke in hushed tones, their words unclear to the onlookers, who grew even more curious.

“Miss Avila, could you please respond?” a reporter pressed. “Is everything An Qi said just a rumor? Are you and CEO Jian not in a romantic relationship?”

Maomao bit her lip, about to deny it when Jian Tianlin spoke first, “It’s not a rumor.”

With just those four words, everyone erupted like boiling water.

“Tianlin, you…” Maomao looked at him in astonishment, startled by his words.

Jian Tianlin grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him, his deep purple eyes locked on her, filled with her reflection.

“Avila, listen to me carefully.”

His rich, husky voice rose again, “I need to clear something up about me liking you— my liking you has never been a rumor.” He paused and then continued, “Maomao, I like you!”

Boom— Maomao’s eyes trembled, and she froze on the spot.

She blinked, still not quite catching up.

What had she just heard?

A figment of her imagination?

He said he liked her.

What about his girlfriend, Lina?

“So, do you want to be my Mrs. Jian?” Before she could recover from the initial shock, he hit her with another.

“Hiss—”

A collective gasp of astonishment went through the crowd.

Maomao lowered her eyes, her ears turning red.

Who proposes right after a confession?

Then remembering his girlfriend, Lina, she pursed her lips, “Tianlin, you have a girlfriend and you say such things—what do you mean by that?”

“If you don’t accept, then I won’t have a girlfriend,” Jian Tianlin said with a smile, sensing her jealousy.

“You…”

Maomao looked up at him, meeting his devil-may-care smile, and suddenly it dawned on her.

“You tricked me?”

Jian Tianlin raised an eyebrow, the implication clear.

“Then tell me, who is Lina?” Maomao felt a surge of joy at being played but was immediately annoyed.

“My brother,” Jian Tianlin said frankly.

“…”

She really wanted to swear.

“Don’t change the subject; you haven’t given me an answer yet,” Jian Tianlin pulled back to the previous topic, pressing for an answer.

“What answer?” Maomao feigned ignorance.

“Do you want to be my Mrs. Jian?” he asked again.

“We haven’t even dated, and you’re talking about this? There’s not even a hint of a stroke in the character, no sincerity,” Maomao glanced at him disdainfully, expertly retorting.

“Besides, after the way you toyed with me before, why on earth would I agree to anything you say.”

“Even if you don’t agree, it’s too late now.” Jian Tianlin gripped her hand, his purple eyes narrowing slightly, “Everyone knows about our relationship now. I’d like to see who dares to marry you.”

“Jian Tianlin, don’t be so domineering. What relationship do we have? We have no relationship at all.” Maomao snorted.

“Do you want me to demonstrate our relationship in front of everyone?” Jian Tianlin’s thin lips parted slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.

Maomao choked.

How could there be such a domineering person in the world.

He had no shame, completely overturning her worldview.

“CEO Jian, Miss Avila, congratulations on becoming a couple at last,” the reporters congratulated shrewdly.

Jian Tianlin rarely showed a smiling face, revealing a bright smile.

Surrounded by the sounds of other people’s congratulations, Maomao was baffled, and by the time she fully came to her senses, she had already been whisked away from the competition venue by Jian Tianlin.

She looked up at the deserted amusement park around her, turned to him with confusion, “Why did you bring me here?”

“Didn’t you say before that you wanted to play?” said Jian Tianlin.

Maomao huffed, “I don’t want to play anymore, especially not with you.”

After being toyed with so many times, she would be at a loss if she didn’t take this opportunity to get back at him.

After speaking, she turned to leave.

Jian Tianlin caught her, stepping in front of her, “Still angry?”

His gentle tone was enough to bewitch any other girl.

“Want me to stop being angry?” Maomao’s eyes glittered, sly and playful.

Jian Tianlin nodded, Maomao wriggled free from his grasp, and pointed at the Ferris wheel not far away, “I’ll go to the Ferris wheel first. If you can guess which one I’m in, I won’t be angry with you anymore, and there will be a gift for you.”

“What if you’re not guessed?” Jian Tianlin asked with interest.

Maomao was even harsher, smiling slyly, “Then I’ll invite you to drink wedding wine with someone else and send you the first invitation ha.”

Jian Tianlin’s handsome face darkened, “…”

An unruly brat.

“Turn around, no cheating.” Maomao ordered, “You can turn back after five minutes.”

Jian Tianlin glanced at her and obediently turned around.

Still not reassured, Maomao walked away while turning back to check whether he had discreetly turned around.

The sound of footsteps behind her gradually faded, and when the five minutes were up, Jian Tianlin turned back to find no one behind him.

He chuckled softly, then walked towards the Ferris wheel.

Dozens of gondolas, and to find someone on the first try was indeed a bit challenging.

But, this was hardly a problem for him, Jian Tianlin.

He went straight for the nineteenth gondola without a moment’s hesitation.

Knowing that Jian Tianlin was not easily fooled, Maomao even squatted down, fearing that he would spot her right away.

“Heh heh.”

A low chuckle sounded behind her, startling Maomao so much she almost knocked her forehead on the ground.

She stumbled, quickly steadying herself with the seat to stand up.

When she saw the person standing by the doorway, she inwardly groaned.

How could this person move without making a sound?

Was he a ghost?

“Did you look in each one as you came?” she eyed him suspiciously, trying to probe.

With his speed, it wasn’t impossible to have checked from the start.

“Didn’t you tell me to pick one?” he said, walking over.

Does that mean he picked the right gondola first and then found her?
