Concerned that he might arouse Cheng Bingbing's suspicion, Huo Qilin reined himself in a little.
"I'm happy because I can help a friend," he hastily invented an excuse.
A thoughtful look flashed in Cheng Bingbing's eyes.
Was he happy because he could help others?
She tentatively asked, "This friend of yours is a girl, right?"
"Um." Huo Qilin ambiguously nodded his head.
This 'friend' of his was something he made up on the fly, and he had no idea if they were male or female.
Though clueless why Cheng Bingbing thought this fictional individual was a girl, he didn't dare to refute. He was afraid of messing up in front of her.
A tinge of sadness flashed in Bingbing's eyes.
Perhaps, the person Qilin referred to during their red carpet appearance was the girl who owns the restaurant?
As this thought occurred to her, a touch of bitterness rose within her heart.
But this was fine too!
Once he had a girlfriend, she could completely give up on him!
