"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean. Yilin is my classmate. How could I do anything bad to her?"
Cheng Chen pretended to be foolish and naive.
"I've killed plenty of witches. You're not the first, and you definitely won't be the last. You'd better have some self-awareness."
Ning Beichen snorted coldly.
"Did you misunderstand me? If you don't like me, I can leave right now."
Cheng Chen's pupils contracted slightly, then immediately returned to normal. She put on an innocent expression for Ning Beichen.
"It's best if you can scram yourself. Don't put on an innocent and pitiful face in front of me. I don't buy that act. You can only fool that silly woman Liu Yilin, but you can't fool me!"
Ning Beichen showed her a menacing look.
"Ning Beichen!"
As soon as his words fell, he heard an angry roar from behind him that made his soul tremble.
"This is bad!"
Ning Beichen shuddered. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He even saw Cheng Chen's mocking eyes.
"Boss, please let me explain."
Ning Chao turned around and saw Liu Yilin's eyes, which looked like she wanted to eat him. He quickly said guiltily.
"I don't want to hear it, Ning Beichen. What right do you have to tell my classmate to leave? If anyone should leave, it's you."
Liu Yilin roared at him furiously.
"Boss, I..."
Ning Beichen wanted to explain a few more words, but Liu Yilin was angry and wouldn't listen to his explanations.
"Scram!"
"Fine, I'll scram. But remember, I'm doing this for your own good. Your classmate is a witch. I even suspect she's not your classmate anymore. You can do as you please."
Ning Yama was also a man with a temper. After dropping a sentence, he turned and left. He wasn't going to serve her anymore.
When Liu Yilin saw Ning Beichen really leave, she felt a strange panic.
"Did I just say too much to him?"
"Should I call him back and apologize?"
"No, I didn't do anything wrong. Why did he call me a silly woman?"
Liu Yilin's heart was in turmoil, but she couldn't bring herself to call Ning Beichen back.
"Yilin, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't know Ning Beichen would dislike me so much. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
Cheng Chen said to Liu Yilin with a look of guilt.
If Ning Beichen were here, he would definitely point at her nose and call her a green tea bitch.
"Chenchen, it's not your fault. That guy suddenly went crazy. He wasn't like this before."
Liu Yilin defended Ning Beichen.
"Maybe he's just too worried about you."
Cheng Chen still made excuses for Ning Beichen in front of Liu Yilin.
"Forget it, let's not think about Ning Beichen. Chenchen, you're visiting my country this time. Let's not let these unpleasant things affect us."
Liu Yilin said to her.
Cheng Chen nodded, and Liu Yilin didn't notice the cunning glint in her eyes.
Ning Beichen walked out angrily. He impulsively smoked several cigarettes outside before calming himself down.
He wouldn't have been this angry before. He didn't know why he was so angry when Liu Yilin wrongly accused him and wouldn't listen to his explanations.
"Forget it, for the old man's sake, I won't argue with you."
Ning Beichen crushed the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can, and said.
However, he didn't go in to make trouble for himself. Instead, he monitored Cheng Chen from a hidden spot. This was in broad daylight, and Ning Beichen believed she wouldn't make a move, so he wasn't too worried.
Although Liu Yilin said she didn't care, she seemed distracted during her celebration with Cheng Chen.
"Is this guy really going to be petty and leave?"
"Hmph! Who told you to say bad things about me behind my back, and even call me a silly woman in front of my classmate? Wouldn't he be angry?"
Liu Yilin thought to herself with dissatisfaction.
But she waited inside for an hour and didn't see Ning Beichen return. Liu Yilin's heart began to panic. She hastily paid the bill and left the restaurant with Cheng Chen.
When they reached the parking lot and saw Ning Beichen in the car, Liu Yilin's panic subsided, and she regained her cold and aloof demeanor.
"I thought you had left."
After getting into the car, although Liu Yilin really wanted to apologize to him, what came out was a cold remark.
"My mission is not yet complete. I need to protect you until you are safe."
Ning Beichen replied.
"What if I'm never safe?"
Liu Yilin suddenly asked.
"Then I'll protect you for a lifetime..."
Ning Beichen blurted out impulsively without thinking, but after saying it, he immediately realized something was wrong and quickly stopped the word "lifetime," changing it to:
"It won't happen. I will solve all your troubles and absolutely won't let this situation occur."
"No cheating. You just said you would protect me for a lifetime. Whoever lies is a dog."
Liu Yilin ignored his later explanation and said happily in her heart.
"Boss, you're the one who's cheating. I only said I'd protect you if you were in danger."
Ning Beichen wanted to slap himself for being so quick-tongued.
"I don't care. I've remembered what you said anyway."
Liu Yilin acted unreasonably.
Ning Beichen immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak again. He was afraid that if he said any more, he would end up selling himself to her for life.
Cheng Chen, sitting in the back seat, let out a strange cold laugh and thought to herself, "No need to argue. Tonight will be the day you two die."
But what she said out loud was very green tea-like.
"I'm so envious of you. Yilin, your relationship with Ning Beichen is so good. Why don't you two just get together? Ning Beichen is also very good, and he treats you well."
"Me, get together with him? Impossible!"
"Me, get together with her? Impossible!"
They both answered in unison. Besides the different pronouns, their tones were surprisingly consistent.
What she said was exactly what Ning Beichen wanted to say. He had no interest in climbing an ice mountain.
"Tch, as if I want to be with you."
Liu Yilin was immediately displeased.
"It's good that you don't. I know I'm very charming and handsome, and many girls like me. But I won't give up a beautiful forest for just one person."
Ning Beichen retorted unyieldingly.
For some reason, when they were together, they were like a bickering couple. It was abnormal if they didn't argue a few times a day.
"Tch! I've never met a man as narcissistic as you. You're a narcissist."
Liu Yilin pretended to gag.
