Tao Yunyao brought him to Tang Ziyan. Tang Ziyan waved her hand. Tao Yunyao glanced at Chu Qing maliciously and left the office with a cold smile.

Only Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan were left in the empty office. The air was so quiet that it was suffocating. Tang Ziyan stared at Chu Qing in a daze, and Chu Qing looked back with his head held high.

“Where were you last night?” Tang Ziyan asked.

Chu Qing’s lips curled into a smile. His previous guess was confirmed at this moment. “A hotel.”

When Tao Yunyao “invited” Chu Qing to see Tang Ziyan, she said, “A buddy or a brother-in-law?” From then on, Chu Qing guessed that Tang Ziyan looked for him most likely because of Ye Chenxi. She was quite well-informed.

“With whom?”

“Ye Chenxi,” Chu Qing answered truthfully.

“What for?”

“Sleep.”

Tang Ziyan kicked her foot on the table hard. The anger in her eyes was undisguised. “Should I say that you’re honest or that you’re presumptuous?”

Chu Qing ignored Tang Ziyan’s oppressive aura and replied calmly, “You can say that I’m honest. How can 1 be presumptuous?”

“Heh…” Tang Ziyan laughed in anger. “Oh, Chu Qing, do you know your identity?”

“Are you talking about my identity as your boyfriend?” Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan argued.

“It seems you remember. 1 thought you had forgotten. You cheated on me and still dare to stand in front of me. You’re the first person who can be so self-righteous.” This was the reason why Tang Ziyan looked for Chu Qing today.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Chu Qing retorted. “I don’t believe that dating implies exclusivity in relationships. For instance, do you have only me as your boyfriend?” The sunlight pouring in through the window seemed a bit blinding. Chu Qing took a couple of steps forward, positioning himself in front of Tang Ziyan.

Without the cover of the sun, Chu Qing realized that Tang Ziyan’s expression was terrifyingly dark.

Chu Qing’s words caused Tang Ziyan to lapse into silence. After a brief pause, she responded, “Don’t forget that you’re a man. Are you suggesting that you’re unfamiliar with the term ‘promiscuous’?”

The corners of Chu Qing’s mouth twitched. He really didn’t want to have too much of a reaction, but he couldn’t help it. It was that argument again. Chu Qing didn’t want to refute it, but he couldn’t help it. “Instead of being promiscuous, I prefer to seduce women.”

“So, you’re determined to do this?” Tang Ziyan took her feet off the table and became serious.

“I think your reaction is a little too big.” Chu Qing didn’t answer her question. “What do you mean? Am I supposed to swallow my anger?”

“One more question. If it hadn’t been for what happened last night, would I have been your only partner?”

“No.” Tang Ziyan’s answer was very straightforward.

Chu Qing shrugged. It was the same for everyone. Chu Qing had already expected this scene today, so he wasn’t too surprised. Very few women in this world would be faithful to each other forever. Even women themselves would laugh at such words.

Chu Qing had no reason to be concerned. He wasn’t a passionate young man seeking love, nor was he a fool relying on love for survival. He was a traveler who had witnessed countless experiences. He considered himself quite ordinary, so expecting him to be exceptionally noble was unrealistic. His actions were driven by a desire for personal comfort and the well-being of those around him. However, even achieving this seemingly simple goal appeared to be a daunting task.

“In other words, you’re doing all of this just to pretend to be a woman. You may be skilled at it, but no matter how much you learn, you’re still an imposter. An imposter will always be an imposter unless you’re reborn from your mother,” Tang Ziyan uttered, her frustration evident through her cursing. It was clear that her mood had deteriorated significantly..
