Chapter 246: The Proclamation (2)

　　Shen Jingbin suddenly felt her cheeks heat up. "How many of them have brought their girlfriends over in the past?"

　　"Not a single one of them."

　　"Not a single one of them?!" Shen Jingbin asked in astonishment.

　　"Mm. Jiang Weiwei brought her ex over in the past, but due to his rural upbringing and the difference in values between them, she dumped him not long after."

　　Jiang Weiwei and someone from a rural background? Shen Jingbin thought that it was a strange pairing.

　　Zhao Chengning continued, "Those guys are either workaholics and have never even thought of getting a girlfriend before, or they just love playing around. You see a different woman by their side every day when it comes to them."

　　Shen Jingbin giggled. "Do your friends know what you're saying about them?"

　　"They wouldn't do anything to me even if they knew."

　　"Mm, I think so too. Then what about you? Birds of a feather flock together. They love fooling around, but what about you?"

　　"Me?" Zhao Chengning asked with a raised brow. "I belong to the former group – I'm a workaholic."

　　Shen Jingbin eyed him skeptically before she said, "You don't look like a workaholic, you look more like one of those pampered young masters who have too much time on their hands."

　　"Mm? I look like a pampered young master? That shouldn't be the case. I remember a lot of people telling me I look like a working elite."

　　"You've been lied to."

　　Zhao Chengning laughed.

　　It might have been her imagination, but Shen Jingbin felt that that doting smile of his held a deeper meaning.

　　This was bad; it felt like they were building up to a night-time rendezvous.

　　"Mm, I've been had," Zhao Chengning said as he leaned the upper half of his body over the railing that was as tall as his waist. He then looked over at her and said, "Maybe I need someone by my side to remind me of that fact."

　　"…" Shen Jingbin met his gaze, unsure of how to react. At this point, her brain was starting to feel a little dizzy from this turn of events.

　　The weather was actually pretty cold, and the temperature dropped even lower at night, giving rise to a small stab of pain when it swept past one's cheeks. She should be feeling more clear-headed in this weather, but she was actually feeling hotter. In fact, her cheeks felt like they were burning up. She didn't even need a mirror to know just how red her cheeks were now.
