Chen Bin nodded and admitted directly.
"Yeah, I was doing it to keep him from pestering you… Hey, what are you doing?!"
Before Chen Bin could finish his sentence, Xu Ruoxuan landed two solid punches on his chest.
"Alright, so it really was you. I'll beat you to death for this!"
Xu Ruoxuan was genuinely angry, her punches were heavy-handed.
The two punches made Chen Bin grimace in pain.
He quickly hugged Xu Ruoxuan tightly, sounding a bit annoyed as he spoke.
"Why are you even hitting me for real?"
"Who asked you to spread rumors? Serves you right!"
Seeing Xu Ruoxuan's furious expression, Chen Bin immediately explained.
"I did it clearly to help you out. At the time, I thought it would resolve everything once and for all."
Letting out the anger in her heart, Xu Ruoxuan's tone softened a bit.
"But you should have told me in advance. Do you know how awful it feels to be the subject of gossip?"
"If I had told you, would you have agreed to let me do it?"
"Of course not!"
