CHAPTER 1020: CHAPTER 1054: LYING WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE

"My dear concubine, save me!"

He ran to Nangong Bing with tears and snot, deliberately putting on a pitiful expression.

Right now, he’s afraid that Nangong Bing might misunderstand him. In such a situation, he needed to be as cunning as possible, or else he wouldn’t even know how he died.

"Huahua... what are you doing?"

As Nangong Bing pushed open the door, she was dumbfounded, unable to understand what they were up to. Each one was dressed so provocatively, no! The word "provocative" couldn’t even describe them; it was downright "revealing."

"If you had come any later, I fear my innocence could not have been preserved!" Lin Zifeng really wanted to rush into her arms and cry for a while.

"Forget it, forget it, I can’t explain it all in a short time, so you handle it. I’m going out to find a place to cry for a bit." He rubbed his eyes, appearing pitiful, as he headed out of the room, looking as if he had really been mistreated.

In the end, under the stunned gaze of Huahua and Zhao Xiaoshi, he swaggered out...

"This, this..."

Nangong Bing was stupefied, still unclear about the situation, unable to say much about Lin Zifeng and allowing him to slip away.

Once out the door, Lin Zifeng immediately put on a new face, patting his chest with a sense of relief from having narrowly escaped a disaster.

"Damn, it’s a good thing I was clever enough. Escape when you can, if you really can’t, there’s no solution."

...

"Huahua, tell me, what on earth happened here?"

The fact is, Nangong Bing saw firsthand two girls, scantily clad, playing around with a man in the room, and even a fool could guess what was going on.

"Cousin, it’s not what you think."

Huahua quickly explained.

"Then tell me, what exactly is the truth?" Nangong Bing knew very well what kind of girl Huahua was, so she didn’t really suspect her, but could Lin Zifeng’s pathetic, mournful expression just now not make her doubt?

"Let me explain to Sister Nangong then."

Zhao Xiaoshi cleared her throat, showing no fear and speaking assertively.

"Xiaoshi, what are you doing here?"

Nangong Bing recognized her; the last time she went shopping with Zhao Xuemo, they had dinner together, and she had a very clear memory of this little girl.

"I came to hang out with Huahua. Today, Huahua asked me to come over and keep her company, so I came." Zhao Xiaoshi said.

Huahua suddenly gave her a very strange look.

"Then why are you two dressed like this?" Nangong Bing was confused.

"No, Cousin, you misunderstood us. Today, I came back from the film set, feeling bored at home alone, so I called Xiaoshi over. Then we tried on the latest lingerie to see if it fits. Our director said I might get to endorse lingerie ads later, so Xiaoshi and I dressed like this to let the beast give us some feedback on how we look."

Huahua explained seriously.

"But he didn’t want to look no matter what, so we just forced him to give some opinion, and then Sister Nangong, you walked in just in time to see us pulling on him, making a fuss."

Zhao Xiaoshi’s skill in lying was so refined, she could fib without even blinking.

Usually pure as water, Huahua had to concede to her words. To cooperate with this charmer and avoid her cousin’s blame, she also nodded earnestly.

For now, aligning with Zhao the Elf, planning to settle the score another time.

"Is it really like this?" Nangong Bing was half-convinced. Despite the seamless cooperation of the two silly girls, after all, she had spent years in the business world and had a knack for reading people.

Familiar with Huahua but not Zhao Xiaoshi, she didn’t know if Xiaoshi was telling the truth, but her silly cousin’s words seemed worth pondering a bit.

"Absolutely true!"

The two girls nodded simultaneously, their heads bobbing like chickens pecking rice.

Nangong Bing smiled and didn’t delve further. She was a smart woman and could guess what was going on, but she didn’t want to investigate further since making a big deal out of it wouldn’t benefit anyone.

...

After leaving the room, Lin Zifeng’s only option was to find a place to hide for a couple of days to avoid getting caught up in this mess.

But just as he opened the door, an immaculate, and familiar face appeared, making Lin Zifeng’s eyes widen, almost choking on his own breath.

"Zhao, Zhao Minister!"

"Lin, Lin Assistant, I’m sorry, has my cousin come here again? It’s my fault for not keeping her in line. I specifically came to take her back."

Compared to Zhao Xuemo, she was calm and composed, a stark contrast to her cousin, Zhao the Elf.

"She’s in there now, why don’t you come in?" Lin Zifeng swallowed hard, unsure how to explain all the things that just happened in the room.

"Is it really okay to come in?"

Zhao Xuemo knew that this was Nangong Bing’s villa, and without her permission, she dared not enter.

"Don’t worry, it’s absolutely okay to come in. The boss returned tonight; you might as well stay to chat with her." Lin Zifeng smacked his lips, his eyes unintentionally glancing at Zhao Xuemo’s revealing neckline.

This immediately made Zhao Xuemo’s cheeks flush, embarrassed, she gently adjusted her V-neckline.

Being this close to Lin Zifeng, Zhao Xuemo’s heartbeat sped up, her eyes dreamy, her face impossibly red, unsure of what to say.

"Xuemo, you’re here. Come in and have a seat."

At last, Lin Zifeng, looking reluctantly melancholy, still hadn’t escaped.

"President, I apologize for intruding, my cousin is just too mischievous, I’m, I’m here to take her back." Suddenly hearing Nangong Bing’s heavenly voice, Zhao Xuemo’s nerves tightened.

Eagerly tearing her gaze away from Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng leaned his head against the doorframe, eyes glazed, silently counting sheep in his mind, ...one, two, three...

"Lin Zifeng, why are you still standing there? Quickly get Minister Zhao a glass of water." Nangong Bing gave him a side glance.

This scene was fully captured by Zhao Xuemo, making her feel uneasy inside.

"Okay. Minister Zhao, please have a seat."

Lin Zifeng, like a servant, scurried off to the kitchen to personally make coffee for Zhao Xuemo...

Watching his lonely figure, Zhao Xuemo’s eyes were filled with pity, though her heart was bleeding.

A man, yet summoned and dismissed by others, she so desperately wanted to step forward and silently do everything for him.
