The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

Although Chu Tiancheng was pretending to be unconscious, he was secretly watching this side. When he saw Song Ke's name on her phone screen, his face immediately froze.

Seeing Song Ke about to press the button, he casually raised his arm and knocked the phone away before Song Ke could react, the phone hitting Song Ke's thigh.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

Song Ke's eyes were red with pain, and Chu Tiancheng was also startled. He paused for a moment, then quickly asked, "Where did you hit it?"

Song Ke glared at Chu Tiancheng, clutching her thigh: "Thigh... Hey, what are you doing? Where are you touching...?"

Seeing the outstretched hand, Song Keke instinctively dodged towards the window, looking at Chu Tiancheng with a wary expression.

Her big eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "...Were you pretending to be drunk just now?"

Chu Tiancheng looked at her, his gaze slowly thoughtful. After a long while, he exhaled a breath of stale air and said innocently, "I wasn't pretending."

Song Ke gave her a look that said, "You'd be a fool to believe me."

Chu Tiancheng rubbed his forehead and said, "You scared me awake just now."

After saying that, he looked at her with a suspicious expression: "You've never been so surprised before, and what was that movement you just made?"

"You dislike me?" Chu Tiancheng's tone was tinged with resentment as he said this.

Song Ke was completely bewildered by Chu Tiancheng's words. After staring at him for a while, she finally remembered to ask, "So you're alright now?"

Chu Tiancheng frowned and clicked his tongue, then leaned back in his chair looking listless: "My head still hurts."

"Since I can't drive anyway, you can take me home."

Song Ke picked up her phone, looked at it, and then looked at Chu Tiancheng.

Is he awake or not? Is he resting with his eyes closed?

How can you expect Gu Qing to come over and develop a relationship with you if you act like this?

No, she looked at her phone, then at Chu Tiancheng, and then stared wide-eyed in surprise, guessing.

Did he just see me about to make a phone call?

Shouldn't he be happy? Or did he not read the plan I sent him to pursue her? It seems like there's not much chemistry between them.

Oh, what a worry!

"What are you worried about?" Chu Tiancheng asked.

Song Ke was startled by his sudden words. What did he mean by asking?

Song Ke had no idea that she had just blurted out what she was thinking, and Chu Tiancheng happened to hear it.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Planning to spend the night here?"

Song Ke glanced at him and reluctantly started driving.

The next day at noon, Song Ke felt that everyone was looking at her strangely. Finally, Qin Huan pulled her into the tea room and asked in a low voice, "Song Ke, what exactly happened between you and President Chu?"

"I remember President Chu has always disliked you. What methods did you use to bewitch him?"

Song Ke looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What are you talking about?"

"You're still pretending. I thought you were so eager to matchmake President Chu and Gu Qing, that you had given up on President Chu. But now it seems you're really good at pretending. What, are you still trying to play innocent?"

Song Ke hadn't disliked Qin Huan that much before, and even found her somewhat likable. But now, seeing how Qin Huan spoke, she suddenly felt that Qin Huan had become just like the characters in the novel, extreme and mean.

Does this mean that in the end, everyone will still have to follow the script?

But He Yunming hasn't shown up yet, and nobody knows where he's hiding.

She glanced at Qin Huan impatiently: "I don't have time to argue with you, and I don't know what you're trying to say. It's all so nonsensical."

Qin Huan glanced around and saw that no one was outside. She walked directly to the door, closed it, and looked at Song Ke with an arrogant expression, her eyes full of disdain: "Song Ke, don't tell me you haven't used your phone all morning."

Hearing her say this, Song Ke couldn't help but find it amusing: "Qin Huan, what exactly do you mean? Just say what you mean, stop beating around the bush."

Qin Huan looked even angrier after hearing Song Ke's words. She took out her phone, unlocked it, and then opened a news article on her browser and showed it to Song Ke: "Take a good look. You and President Chu have been photographed and posted online. Look at this fabricated story."

"Shocking! The fiancée of Hengchu Group President Chu Tiancheng has been revealed."

Song Ke stared in surprise, her eyes wide. This photo was the one of her supporting Chu Tiancheng after dinner last night.

No, how come there are photos of me touching his face in the elevator?

Who is it that has nothing better to do than eat their fill?

Song Ke was furious. Gu Qing must have seen it too, right? Then she's finished.

Thinking of this, she pushed Qin Huan away and was about to leave, but Qin Huan grabbed her when she turned around.

Qin Huan, with an imposing aura, questioned as if she were Chu Tiancheng's legal wife: "Song Ke, explain yourself clearly. What exactly do you want? I knew you suddenly changed your mind. So this is what you were waiting for. Have you no shame? You know that President Chu is annoyed with you, yet you still cling to him."

Song Ke was furious. She didn't have much affection for Qin Huan to begin with, and she had even changed her opinion of her a few days ago because she seemed to be behaving well. But now she's showing her true colors so quickly.

Besides, what right does she have to ask herself that? Is she crazy?

Thinking of this, she reached out to push away Qin Huan's hand, but Qin Huan suddenly raised her head, then looked back in horror, her high heels wobbling, and she crashed into the bar counter.

"Bang..."

"what..."

Seeing her like this, Song Ke instinctively wanted to pull her back, but the door was pushed open. She saw Qin Huan facing the door behind her, crying out in a weak and aggrieved tone, "President Chu, help!"

Chu Tiancheng came in, with Assistant Fang following behind. They saw that Qin Huan's head was bleeding from the impact.

"What's going on?" Assistant Fang asked, unsure of the situation.

Song Ke glanced at Chu Tiancheng and told the truth: "I don't know. I wanted to go out, but she grabbed me and wouldn't let go, so I pulled her hand and she fell over."

After saying that, she added, "I didn't use any strength at all~"

Assistant Fang understood; Qin Huan was faking an accident. He walked over, squatted down, and gently touched the bloodstains on the marble countertop. He smelled them and then reported to Chu Tiancheng with certainty.

"President Chu, this is real blood, not food coloring or tomato sauce or anything like that."

Before Qin Huan could say a word, upon hearing this, she nearly fainted from anger, not from the impact.

She looked at Chu Tiancheng with a pitiful expression and blinked, appearing weak and innocent: "President Chu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have stopped Song Ke."

After saying that, she continued with a sob in her voice, "But I did it to help you, President Chu. Song Ke saw the news and was so happy that she said she wanted to go see Miss Gu. I was afraid that Miss Gu would be unhappy if she found out, so I tried to stop her and tell her not to be impulsive. Then she got upset. I know that when people get emotional, they can't control themselves. I don't blame Song Ke. After all, I am her senior, and I won't hold it against her."

"Ugh... I feel so dizzy, Mr. Chu, do you think I might have a concussion?"

My goodness, this skill is even more exciting than what the original author wrote; it's truly astounding.

"What do you have to explain?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ke looked at Chu Tiancheng and blinked with a questioning gaze.

What do you want me to explain?
