Chapter 38: Checking Household Registration

Chen Ningxi's mind blanked for a few seconds, "Uh… Mom,"

not knowing what possessed her, she blurted out, "My boyfriend."

"Who?" Ye Yujun's voice jumped an octave, her expression one of surprise.

Cheng Qiaobei was also stunned, what did she mean?

Chen Ningxi placed the camera face-down on the countertop, clasped her hands together in front of Cheng Qiaobei, and whispered, "This is an emergency."

Cheng Qiaobei spread his hands, "What do you mean?"

Chen Ningxi leaned in closer, tiptoeing and whispering in his ear, "My mom wants me to go on a blind date again. I don't want to go—just help me out, pretend to be my boyfriend and block it for me."

Cheng Qiaobei lowered his eyes, and just as she was about to pull away, he said, "If I help you, what do I get in return?"

Chen Ningxi turned her face, realizing they were standing close, causing her cheeks to heat up instantly. She cleared her throat and stepped back.
