“Hello, Luoluo…” Xu Jiaojiao smiled sweetly at her.

...

Su Lu walked over to her side and sat down, teasing, “You’re pretty bold, Xu Jiaojiao. You actually went overseas to register your marriage with Qi Shenbai!”

“You know the truth, don’t you? This is all just a deal.” Xu Jiaojiao explained as she packed her backpack. “We’re only registering our marriage to refute the rumors so as not to affect the company’s share price. In a year, the two of us will go for a divorce.”

“Is that so…?” There was a smile in Su Luo’s voice. “A certain someone might not be willing to divorce a year later!”

“Why would 1 be reluctant?” Xu Jiaojiao asked with a slight frown.

“I never said it’s you! Why are you in such a hurry to take the blame?” A trace of mischief flashed across Su Luo’s eyes. “Look at how nervous you are to defend yourself.”

Xu Jiaojiao blinked. When she regained her senses, she glared at her friend reproachfully. “Luoluo, you’re making fun of me again!”

Su Lu did not fall for her feigned anger and simply snatched away the book that Xu Jiaojiao had placed facedown on the tablet. It was too late for Xu Jiaojiao to stop her.

The tablet’s screen was not locked. The wallpaper was a comic drawing of a man lowering his head and applying medicine for a girl. Su Luo’s sharp eyes could tell who the couple in the painting was at a glance.

“Hmph, try lying to me again.”

Xu Jiaojiao looked guilty in an instant. She grabbed the tablet and hugged it tightly in her arms, huffing, “Luoluo…”

Su Luo poked her round face. “If you like him, so be it. What’s there to hide? It’s normal for you to fancy a man like Qi Shenbai.”

Xu Jiaojiao lay sprawled on the table, her long and thick eyelashes trembling slightly. She did not seem to be in a good mood. “You don’t understand, Luoluo…”

Su Luo also leaned on the table and coaxed her patiently. “Then tell me, what do 1 not understand?”

Xu Jiaojiao turned to look at her and sighed softly. “You’re right. 1 do like him. And 1 don’t know when I fell in love with him. By the time 1 found out, 1 was missing him no matter what I was doing. But… I can’t like him.”

If she had not had that dirty dream on the plane, she would not have realized that her feelings for Qi Shenbai had quietly changed. In the past, when she was dating Lu Zhuo, she had never had such a dream.

“Why can’t you like him?” Su Luo frowned slightly. She was extremely puzzled.

“I just broke up with Lu Zhuo. How could I fall in love with someone else so quickly?” Xu Jiaojiao was a little depressed. “I’ve changed. I’ve become too fickle.”

“Pfft—” Su Luo could not help but laugh out loud. “Sis, what year is it now?! Isn’t it normal to fall in love with someone else after breaking up? Why not? Lu Zhuo betrayed you first. After breaking up, do you still have to mourn for him for three years before moving on? Jiaojiao, don’t be so strict with yourself. You’ll tire yourself out.”

Su Luo thought she needed to add a bit more oomph to her statement, so she continued, “Please, that’s Qi Shenbai we’re talking about. He has the looks and the money. It’s normal for you to like him. If it were anyone else, they would have fallen in love with him long ago.”

Xu Jiaojiao blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, “Do you like him too?”

Su Luo rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Firstly, I’ll never fall in love with a man my friend likes. Secondly, Qi Shenbai isn’t my type. He’s like a big block of ice. I feel like I’ll freeze to death if I stand beside him.”

“He’s very nice. How is he like a big block of ice?” Xu Jiaojiao could not help but speak up for him.

“Fine, so I can’t even say a word about your husband now. You’re really protective of him, aren’t you?” Su Luo pretended to be angry.

The word ‘husband’ made Xu Jiaojiao blush. “The two of us are just faking our marriage. He’s not really my husband.”

“The marriage certificate is real, so he really is your husband.”

Xu Jiaojiao found she could not actually refute that.

Su Luo poked her in the arm and encouraged her. “Don’t sl*tshame yourself. Either way, the two of you are officially husband and wife now. You have to seize such a good opportunity.”

Xu Jiaojiao was confused. “How am 1 supposed to do that?”

“If it’s just an act, then make it real. Take the initiative,” Su Luo suggested excitedly. “You never know, right? If you ask me, Qi Shenbai might seem distant on the surface, but he might be secretly passionate inside. Try wooing him. I think it’ll work out.”

“I… I’ll think about it first.” Xu Jiaojiao felt that she should not believe the words of a single pringle like Su Luo so easily.

“What are you still worried about?”
