Lanni looked like she was in a difficult position. "I always go for whatever I want, but if it belongs to someone else…" 

"Are you kidding me? How does that fake woman compare to you in any way? She isn't even worthy of being compared to a strand of your hair!" Feng Ci urged with all the sincerity she could manage to fake. 

Lanni snorted. "You're right. I was thinking too much. There is no woman who can qualify to be my opponent if I go after a man."

Feng Ci was offended by Lanni's deliberately provoking tone. However, she wanted to use her to get rid of Lanni, so she should not know about her own feelings for Xiehan. She could only go along and flatter her endlessly. 

When she could no longer stand shopping with her love rival, Feng Ci pointed at a restaurant across the road. "Why don't we have a meal over there? I'm famished. We can go home afterwards." 

Lanni had been waiting for that. "I would love to, but I promised my friend to dine together. Maybe some other time?" 

"Okay." Feng Ci had not intended to eat with her anyway. It was just as bad as eating with Lanni. Both of them were after Xiehan so how could she like them? She could only tolerate Jiang Xiaomu a little because she was using her to get rid of Lanni. 

When they left the store with shopping bags in their hands, Feng Ci tried to probe a little. "About Xiehan, are you going to…" 

"I know what to do." Lanni interrupted haughtily. 

Hearing that, Feng Ci was pleased. At least the girl was not useless. 

Just as they parted ways, Lanni's phone rang. Her heart skipped a beat, and Feng Ci clearly saw the name 'Luna' sprawled across the screen. Her eyes glinted with a murderous intent. 

Lanni acted calm and picked the call. Luckily, Luna would always refer to her as Xiaomu if they were not on their own. Hence even if it was a phone call, she would only call her using her real name if she was certain that it was safe to do so. 

They chatted for just a few seconds since they were supposedly not very close, and Luna casually invited her to have a cup of tea together. 

"You are close to Xia Luna?" Feng Ci curiously asked when the call ended. 

In response, Lanni raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know I had to answer to you and tell you who are or are not my friends?" 

Whether with her real identity or her alias, she was not going to let anyone think that she was their sidekick. 

Feng Ci gritted her teeth but smiled. "Of course not. It's just… she is Lanni's twin." 

Seeing Lanni's amused look, she tried to sow discord. "I heard that twins are too similar. In fact, they often fall in love with the same man. She may also fall for Xieahn and you…" 

"You don't need to worry about that." Lanni dismissed and entered her car. 

Although she had been pissed off almost to death, she had achieved something-Feng Ci was more or less on her side. She only needed to do a few more things now and she would accomplish her goal.

Luna hung up the call and set her phone aside. 

"How is it going?" Cheng Yu asked curiously. 

"She didn't tell me yet. I guess she was with someone who should not overhear the conversation." Luna concluded, and decided that she would wait for Lanni's call later. 

"Why don't we get back to work first?" Luna suggested as she pulled her laptop over. 

"Aren't we already done?" Cheng Yu was confused. 

"We need to test it. It would be better if there are no errors. Of course, there are a few things we have not decided on. If we make every tiny detail as perfect as possible, the other party will have nothing to nitpick. This way, we can gain as much profit from it." Luna explained, and Cheng Yu thought she made sense. 

The two of them were coming up with a mobile application for comics. This has been Luna's idea. However, there were many comic applications on the market so they had to make theirs stand out if they were to be successful with it. 

Right now, the application was ready for testing, which was what they were doing. 

"Ready?" Cheng Yu probed. 

"Go ahead." Luna agreed, and Cheng Yu went ahead to publish the first chapter of her comic using the tablet. 

Luna then logged into the app using her phone and checked it out. "The interface is great, and it will not crush…" She was satisfied as she checked out every aspect of the application. 

"We will have this comic for the front page advertis.e.m.e.nt." She decided as she skimmed through what Cheng Yu had published. 

Cheng Yu knew that Luna was doing this to give her publicity and felt warmth flood into her heart. "It's already good enough that you are letting me take part in this." In fact, that was an understatement. Luna was letting her take half the credit for the application when all she deserved was nothing more than a few mentions for the ideas she gave along the way. 

Luna seemed to read her mind and held her hand. "Are you an idiot? Outlook is very important for an application. It is this that will draw in potential users. Since you made most of the major decisions on this, you are a co-founder." 

Hearing this, she could not reject it anymore. "But what if the company we collaborate with has a different opinion? They could like the app but that doesn't mean they will like the comic." 

Luna crossed her arms like a boss. "We are not dropping freebies here. If no one wants to adhere to the terms we suggest, we can simply start our own studio. At most, we will just have ten times the workload." 

Cheng Yu laughed at Luna's decisiveness. However, it was still better to collaborate with another company for now. 

"Okay, back to work." Luna grabbed a pen and started checking a list. "The search engine is perfect, recommendation system, perfect, currency…" She looked up at Cheng Yu. "We had not decided on this. 

"Right." Cheng Yu sunk into thought. "What do you think of coins?" 

"Isn't every app using that?" Luna disapproved and shook her head when she thought of diamonds. That couldn't do either.

"What about rubies? The app's theme would be fitting with red." Cheng Yu suggested. 

Luna scratched her chin in thought then flipped to a blank piece of paper to draw a small sample. 

"That's excellent!" Cheng Yu gushed. Instead of rubies, they went for ruby keys in the end, then decided on the currency. 

50 keys would cost 50 Hong Kong Dollars in real cash, and it would require 10 keys to unlock one chapter. 

Luna quickly fixed the codes to add the changes then sighed in relief. 

"Now we need people we trust to help us test it." Luna still wanted to be sure that there would not be a single complaint. If the company they collaborated with found any glitch, their efforts would go to waste. 

She had already to have Lanni, Xiehan and Jiang Xingyu test it. Even so, the more people tried to use it, the more sure they would be about it. 

"How about we get Cedric to try it as well? He can try as an author as well as a reader." Cheng Yu suggested. 

"Cedric?" Luna quirked up a brow.

"Well, he is trustworthy." Cheng Yu's cheeks burned slightly as she explained. 

"You guys have gotten quite close, huh?" Luna teased. 

"Uhm… no no… it's not what you think!" She quickly defended herself. 

Luna crossed her arms like a mother interrogating her daughter. "And many I know what I am thinking? Is there something I don't know?

Cheng Yu's face couldn't be any redder. "Actually, Cedric and I are just friends." 

The latter raised her eyebrow. "Your friends make you blush so hard?" 

"Stop teasing me!" Cheng Yu complained. Luna was doing it on purpose! 

"We really are just friends. Though we…. We may have kissed once." Cheng Yu stuttered. 

"Whoa! You—what? No wonder your face is so red!" Luna inched closer for gossip. 

"It was just a tiny peck… on my cheek." Cheng Yu explained urgently. 

Luna burst into laughter. "If a kiss on the cheek is making you blush so hard, then you have feelings for him!" 

Before the latter could admonish her, Luna teased her even more. "The guy you like simply has to glance in your direction for you to start smiling like a fool and blushing like a love-striken teenager." 

Cheng Yu so badly wanted to hide. "Anyway, I'm not ready to be with him. I'm not sure about his feelings, him being the kind of guy he is. What if he is just fooling around?"
