218 Putting On Airs

Wang Ke’er was stunned by Ni Yan’s words.

Ni Yan was famous for being playful in their social circle. She was the only daughter of a powerful family, and her parents doted on her. Sometimes, Ni Yan’s words could affect her parents’ business decisions.

Ni Yan’s close friends were often protected by the Ni family, and they enjoyed this status by either catering to her whims, or fooling around with her.

What Ni Yan looked down on was when people put on airs in front of her. Wang Ke’er had a high educational background and was unlike other rich kids who simply went abroad to make money or start a business. Even the institution she graduated from was a prestigious one.

Usually, people like her were very noble and did not wish to integrate with Ni Yan’s circle, yet here Wang Ke’er was, wishing to become part of it. Ni Yan also knew that Wang Ke’er was reluctant to join in their activities, but she never showed it. Instead, she actively catered to Ni Yan. They hung out together every day, but she was still very clear-headed, and Ni Yan could not find any fault with her.

Like her fair-weather friends, Ni Yan had acknowledged Wang Ke’er as a friend and was willing to be true to her. However, something did go awry in the end: Wang Ke’er actually had a man in private.

“You’re welcome to visit us next time,” said Zhao Qiang indifferently.

Ni Yan said, “Perhaps you don’t know who I am. I—”

Zhao Qiang interrupted her and said, “Young mistress of the Ni family, is this something you’ve never seen before? Don’t make fun of me. I’ll make this clear: Ke’er and I don’t have the kind of relationship you’re thinking of.”

Ni Yan smiled, thinking that Zhao Qiang’s attitude was quite interesting. She also believed what Zhao Qiang said. After all, there were not many men who would be so calm after hearing what she said just now.

When most men heard those words, they would look discontent, as if someone had discovered their secret. However, Zhao Qiang was calm and indifferent. This meant that Zhao Qiang was not provoked by her words.

Ni Yan nodded and then left.

Soon after, Wang Ke’er received a message. It was from Ni Yan.

[Be careful of not being able to see through people and letting this dog of a man cheat you of your money and your body.]

After Wang Ke’er finished reading the message, she smiled and put the phone back into her bag.

…

After Wang Ke’er collected her necklace, Zhao Qiang suggested that they go to the supermarket, since there were not many ingredients left at the apartment.

The two of them went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things. Zhao Qiang said, “Let’s go home first and come out another day.”

Wang Ke’er nodded. She had not been to the supermarket in a long time, so she was curious about everything. After the shopping trip, she was a little tired.

Zhao Qiang began to carry everything by himself. Wang Ke’er felt a little embarrassed by this. “How about I help you carry some?” she asked.

Zhao Qiang nodded. He put down the bag and took out a bottle of juice. He opened the straw and handed it to Wang Ke’er. Zhao Qiang then took out a bag of chips for her.

After that, he picked everything up and continued to walk to the parking lot.

Wang Ke’er was gobsmacked for a second. Her face was blushing slightly as she followed behind Zhao Qiang.

Before, it was bad enough that she did not carry one of the grocery bags, but for her to hold a drink and a snack instead… It seemed even more excessive. Please visit 𝐟𝓇eℯ𝒘𝙚𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷𝗲Ɩ. co𝓶

Wang Ke’er looked at Zhao Qiang’s figure and felt a sweet feeling in her heart. Zhao Qiang did not want to let Wang Ke’er hold anything heavy on the way home. However, when she was living alone overseas, Wang Ke’er always carried everything by herself.

After they returned to the apartment, Wang Ke’er finished her drink and sat comfortably on the sofa, watching Zhang Qiang busy about in the kitchen.

Wang Ke’er felt like she was living in bliss.

However, her happiness was not long-lived; Wang Ke’er’s phone rang.

Wang Ke’er frowned when the caller ID showed that it was her brother, Wang Zetian, calling. She picked up the phone and he immediately asked, “Did you offend Ni Yan? Why didn’t the Ni family accept my bid?”

“It’s probably because your bidding document wasn’t good enough,” Wang Ke’er said.

“Where are you?” asked Wang Zetian.

“At home,” Wang Ke’er said.

“What are you doing at home?” Wang Zetian asked with a frown. “Why aren’t you accompanying Ni Yan?”

Wang Ke’er laughed coldly, “Brother, are you really that useless? Do you need your sister to accompany her for a bidding document?”

After a moment of silence, Wang Zetian said, “I’m not sure. I didn’t mean anything by that. Besides, I’m asking you to play with Ni Yan, not with a man. Is that so wrong?”

“I don’t have the time,” Wang Ke’er said coldly. After that, she hung up.

Zhao Qiang took care of the ingredients they bought and put them in the refrigerator. Then, he started to clean the place.

When he changed the garbage bag in Wang Ke’er’s bathroom, Zhao Qiang took a look and saw that there were no sanitary pads inside.

It wasn’t… her period…

Zhao Qiang’s heart began to beat faster, and he finally could not help but ask, “We… Last night… Why was there blood on the bedsheet?”
