Su Chen looked at Ji Zitong intently with a dangerous gaze.

The air around suddenly turned icy. Ji Zitong’s posture was still relaxed and unfazed as she looked into Su Chen’s eyes, saying threateningly, “Don’t act all high and mighty before me now. You’re messing with me! I thought we could leave each other alone. I tried to tolerate you because you were my instructor before.”

Su Chen had an amused look in his eyes when he heard her. He finished his glass of water and sat down on the sofa. “Speak clearly! What prank?”

“Your grandfather and sister… They came to my house and said some weird things to my parents. What are you trying to do? Why do you have to mess with me, and now even my family? I’ve never seen a man worse than you in my life ever!” Ji Zitong sounded enraged. She clenched her fists when the words tumbled out of her mouth.

Su Chen’s eyes darkened as his grip on the glass tightened. He studied Ji Zitong for a long while. Eventually, his darkened expression went away and he smiled instead. He leaned back on the sofa and gave her a sharp gaze. Ji Zitong’s palms started to sweat a little, and she was losing her composure bit by bit.

“If you’re trying to take revenge, you’ve achieved your goal. My life is a mess right now and you can stop your prank already. Please follow me and explain to my parents that we aren’t in a relationship. Just tell them you were my instructor before and I knew you. That’s it.”

Ji Zitong took a deep breath. She kept telling herself she was not here for a fight today, and she hoped they could settle this matter in a peaceful manner. Her ultimate goal was to solve their misunderstandings and leave each other alone from now on as she just wanted things at home to calm down.

Su Chen had no idea that Elder Su and Su Yu had gone to Ji Zitong’s father’s martial arts center yesterday morning. Elder Su was very straightforward with his intentions when he said the Su family was serious about their relationship and would send Su Chen over with gifts the next time. He even mentioned a marriage proposal as well.

What was happening!?

She was not in a relationship with this man at all, so why was marriage involved now!?

The whole martial arts center was in chaos when they heard the news. Everyone came to ask her about it, and her parents had also interrogated her for a whole afternoon.

Su Chen seemed interested after he heard her story. He smiled amusedly. “My grandfather went to your place? What did he say?”

“You know very well what you did. How could you turn your own marriage into a joke? You’re the worst! Even if you don’t care about your own reputation, can you be considerate about my reputation as a girl?”

Ji Zitong’s expression was frigid. “Do you think it’s fun to prank people like this? Everyone around knows about it now. I don’t mind if you want to embarrass me, but my mother isn’t very well and she can’t take such a huge impact. The visit by your grandfather and sister made everyone think that I’m actually in a relationship with you. Do you know how horrible the consequences of your prank are?”

Su Chen’s expression clouded over as he felt his head getting dizzy. He pinched the space between his eyebrows.

That did sound like what his grandfather would do. If the elder found out what was happening, he would be in trouble again. He might just get away with some scolding if he was lucky. The worst that could happen was being skinned alive.

My dear sister, why did you tell the elder about it? You’ve put me in a tough spot now!

Su Chen sighed deep inside while he lay down on the sofa exhausted. “Why are you so worried? If things get bad, I’ll marry you then!”

Ji Zitong squinted her eyes at him before smirking. “I know you might be popular, but that doesn’t mean I like you.”

Su Chen laughed again when she finished her sentence. “What now? Are you afraid to marry me? If you have such a strong stand, why worry? Just tell everyone that it’s a prank from me, then it’ll be over, won’t it?”

“That’s easy for you to say. Do you think your grandfather and sister would just let me off the hook with that?”

“How did my grandfather and sister treat you? Did they give you any trouble?”

Ji Zitong gave it some thought. “They didn’t. They were actually pretty nice, but that’s not the issue here. My father isn’t very patient and he’d be frustrated if he finds out it’s a prank. I hope you can explain it to them.”

“So, do you mean my grandfather and sister are satisfied with you?” Su Chen mumbled. Ji Zitong did not say anything and just glared at him.

“What do you mean?” Su Chen straightened up and grabbed a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table. He took one out and lit it up as he eyeballed Ji Zitong amidst the smoke. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

“Does that have anything to do with you?” Ji Zitong replied curtly.

“Do you still miss that guy? He’s now married to Deputy Chief Wang’s daughter, and he’s doing really well right now. It’s about time you wake up. How good can a man be if a man needs a woman to advance in her career? You’re a smart person. I didn’t expect you to have stubborn moments.” Su Chen narrowed his eyes as he gave her an odd smile.

“That has nothing to do with you. You’re not any better than him anyway. You always bully others just like what you’re doing to me now.”

Su Chen flicked his cigarette into the ashtray. “You’re mistaken. No matter how bad I may be, I’d never mistreat a woman, and I won’t take advantage of women.”

“Don’t speak as if you’re a gentleman. Aren’t you giving me a lot of trouble right now, Chief Su?”
