Chen Ningxi was speaking with He Yunyi when she saw Cheng Qiaobei walking toward them, a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, exuding a hint of mischief.
"Ning Xi," he deliberately shouted loudly.
The shout came from behind He Yunyi, his body stiffened, and he turned around to see Cheng Qiaobei already by their side. His standing position was very intentional; he stood next to Chen Ningxi, naturally grabbing her bag and casually greeting He Yunyi,
"Mr. He, long time no see."
He Yunyi was stunned for half a second, but Chen Ningxi didn't let him feel too embarrassed.
"I haven't officially introduced you two. This is Cheng Qiaobei, my boyfriend. And He Yunyi, my high school classmate, who now works as a deputy director at the education committee and has some official business to discuss with me."
Official business?
Did he think he was stupid?
Cheng Qiaobei maintained a calm demeanor, inviting, "It's terribly cold, why don't we go upstairs to talk?"
