Chapter 730 - I Want to Be a Competent Boyfriend (1/2)

They tried to take a closer look at Ye Ling’s face. Ye Ling wore his cap really low and was lowering his head to eat the whole time. Due to the angle, the two of them could not take a clear look. They could not help but mutter. “Is Master Qian really dating two people at the same time?”

“No wonder Ye Ling did not leave his assets to him! Served him right!”

“My Master Qian will not be such a jerk!”

“Do you even know him? You only met him once and are already calling him so intimately. What’s wrong with you? I’m your girlfriend, not him. Have you turned gay?”

“I’m more wronged than Dou’E![1. Dou’E is a character in a famous play written in the Yuan Dynasty who was wrongly convicted of crimes by a corrupt court official for actions perpetrated by a rejected suitor, Mule Zhang.].”

The little couple started quarreling. The woman stormed out of the restaurant in fury, and the man hurriedly chased after her.

Shen Qianshu nudged Ye Ling’s hand and said, “Master, rumors say that Master Qian dumped you and gave his love to someone else. As a result, you gave all your assets to Tong Hua and did not leave a single cent for me!”

“Concentrate on eating.”

“How do you feel?” Shen Qianshu looked up and smiled at him. Her eyes were twinkling with cheekiness and had an unexplainable gentle playfulness to them. There were always rumors of Master Qian in society. Being a fatally attractive person to both men and women, she had almost forgotten Master Qian’s story already.

“Dumb,” Ye Ling said calmly and displayed a cold ‘I don’t believe the rumors’ front. This led Shen Qianshu to not know whether to laugh or to cry.

“Master, what if one day, I really fall in love with someone else?”

“You will never.”

“Why?”

“You will never.” Ye Ling was certain.

She was not a fickle person. He believed her.

“But what if?”

“Then you will regret it,” Ye Ling said calmly. His tone was not really sinister but would cause one to feel a slight chilliness. The surrounding atmosphere had also already turned cold. Shen Qianshu pressed her lips together and suddenly did not dare to ask what was it that she would regret.

This hypothetical question was really very dumb.
