The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

Zeng Yichen was stunned, and the man who kissed Ji Ran in front of him that day instantly appeared in his mind...

It must be him...

The person she likes is... that man.

That man, with a captivating aura and noble to the core.

Zeng Yichen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He wished at this moment that Jiang Manxi would just admit that she was talking about her brother, so that he could deceive himself and tell himself that everything she said was a lie.

Or maybe, he just subconsciously wanted to pick an opponent that he had a slight chance of winning against.

The veins on his fingers gripping the steering wheel were bulging, and mist filled his eyes, which were filled with pain.

Jiang Manxi felt very uncomfortable seeing this. She opened her mouth several times to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she just managed a faint bitter smile.

"Sister Xiao Leng didn't come to work today. If you want to wait for me, please come another day."

After saying that, Jiang Manxi turned around dejectedly and walked towards her car.

Just about to open the door.

"Miss Jiang." Zeng Yichen suddenly called her from behind.

Jiang Manxi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw him following her to her car. She took a deep breath and asked:

"Is there anything else, Mr. Zeng?"

"I want to drink." Zeng Yichen's voice was dead, as if he had lost his soul.

Jiang Manxi couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. After a long struggle, she couldn't refuse and nodded gently: "I'll go with you."

After getting the answer, Zeng Yichen didn't hesitate and directly opened her passenger seat and sat in.

Seeing this, Jiang Manxi also got into the car, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little stagnant.

The originally empty co-pilot seat now had someone, and it was someone she liked. Jiang Manxi couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "... Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Whatever." Zeng Yichen uttered these two words weakly.

Jiang Manxi pursed her lips, nodded, then sat up straight, started the car, and drove towards the club she often went to.

"Thank you...last time." Zeng Yichen suddenly spoke again.

Jiang Manxi was startled. "Ahem, thank me... for what?"

"Thank you for clearing her name." Zeng Yichen spoke frankly, but his tone was very pale.

Jiang Manxi's eyes darkened. "I just did what I should do, but..."

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, "You... are indeed a little too much."

Zeng Yichen's breathing stagnated, and his nails dug into his palms tightly, but he couldn't refute a word. In the end, he could only smile in despair, "Yeah... It was all because I didn't trust her."

"But have you ever thought about this," Jiang Manxi couldn't help but speak out her inner thoughts: "True love is not only unconditional trust, but also subconscious 'preference'."

Zeng Yichen was stunned. He turned his head stiffly with some confusion and looked at Jiang Manxi's profile. The girl's long eyelashes flashed with determination and calmness.

"Maybe I'm wrong to say this, but if you really like Miss Xiao Leng, then even if she really took the bracelet that day, your first reaction would be to protect her and shield her. But you embarrassed her in public without a second thought, which shows that in your heart, her innocence and feelings are not as important as your inner integrity.

Of course I'm not saying that your integrity is unimportant, but maybe you prefer her aura to her. "

Jiang Manxi confidently revealed all her inner analysis.

Zeng Yichen's eyes were filled with shock and realization, and then he frowned for a long time, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

These words were like a sharp spear, ruthlessly piercing through the beautiful dream he had woven with self-deception.

Yes... ever since the first time he saw Ji Ran in the camp, that pretty figure was riding the handsome motorcycle he had always dreamed of, and with a superb side drift technique, she swung into the parking space, and was so handsome that a lot of the grown men present almost knelt down.

Then, when she took off her helmet, her delicate little face and finely sculpted features made his heart stop.

Even though she was wearing ordinary clothes, it still couldn't conceal the pure and cool temperament she exuded.

He could not take his eyes away from her after that one glance. He felt that she was like a precious diamond of extremely high purity, so pure and beautiful, so shining and dazzling.

He had never seen a girl with such a charming personality. She was completely different from those boring rich girls he usually saw.

After knowing that she was the youngest national-level professor at Kyoto University, they bowed down to her.

So I started pursuing her without thinking, and happily gave her all the good things I thought were good.

But she never really explored what she liked.

Thinking back to the last time, the man carefully and considerately helped her put on the helmet and fastened the double D buckle. His movements were smooth and skillful, as if they were engraved in her memory.

Looking at myself again, I didn't even know how to wear or fasten the helmet.

Ji Ran's words came to my mind again:

'Your love is really vulnerable.'

"Heh..." Zeng Yichen laughed at himself subconsciously. It turned out that he was just a fool who claimed to be affectionate. Now looking at his current behavior of pestering her, he was really shameless.

Ji Ran was right, his love was really worthless.

Hearing this, Jiang Manxi turned around again with concern to observe his condition, "Second Master Zeng, don't blame yourself too much, Sister Xiao Leng is really fine..."

"…It's good that everything is alright, it's good that everything is alright." Zeng Yichen's heart had sunk to the bottom.

Jiang Manxi sighed silently, said no more, and continued driving towards her destination.

The glow of the sunset was turbid and the sky was gradually getting darker.

In the largest and oldest library in Jinghua City.

The administrator was carrying a bucket and a rag, ready to start today's cleaning. Passing by the reading area, he saw two tall piles of books on the table. He wondered which uneducated student had read the books but didn't put them back, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

When he approached to clean up, he was surprised to see a girl sitting behind the pile of books. "Ah!"

Ji Ran paused, looked up vigilantly, and immediately remembered that Qi Mu was not here. He was not used to crowded environments, so he went outside to wait for her as soon as he arrived.

Probably, this person was just frightened by her, so he lowered his head and looked again.

"Hey student," the administrator said unhappily, "we are closing the museum."

"Got it." Ji Ran replied without even raising his head.

"Now that I know, then go ahead and do something." The manager was very dissatisfied.

Ji Ran raised his chin towards the electronic clock on the ceiling. "Closing time is 7:7. It's 20:10 now. I'll be out on time in minutes."

"..." The manager was speechless, but could not refute, so he turned his head and walked away. The museum does close at 7:7, but in order to go home early, they have been letting guests leave at o'clock for a long time. Anyway, the investors above don't care about this.

Ji Ran didn't care and continued to read the last few pages of the last book in his hand.
