My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 516 - 011: Echoing Each Other

Chapter 516: 011: Echoing Each Other
Listening to his banter, Lu Shishu rolled her eyes speechlessly, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up. This detail was noticed by Nan Jiayan, who felt quite pleased and happy. At least this meant that his trick had some effect.
"Alright, enough with the banter. Just say what you came for. Why are you looking for me?" Lu Shishu tried hard to make her expression look serious and indifferent, so she deliberately glanced at her phone beside her, letting him see only half of her face.
"Can we move that lunch tomorrow to dinner? There’s a basketball friendly match in the afternoon, so..." Nan Jiayan’s words were spoken very cautiously, with a bit of probing, afraid that she wouldn’t agree, and his tone was especially light.
Listening to his tone and seeing his expression, Lu Shishu suddenly wanted to laugh but held it back, saying lightly, "Yeah, I know! I heard Yuanyuan and Wanwan talking about it when I came back today. They said there would be a basketball friendly match between the watercolor department, oil painting department, traditional Chinese painting department, and architecture design department."
Hearing this, Nan Jiayan laughed, "Are you coming to watch the game tomorrow afternoon?"
"Of course, and besides, I have a score to settle with someone. That certain someone is sure to come watch your game tomorrow." Lu Shishu smiled innocently, her tone very relaxed and casual, but there was always a cold feeling, like a smile hiding a knife, making Nan Jiayan feel an inexplicable shiver.
"Are you talking about Yan Chengxi?" Nan Jiayan was also sharp. From her gritted teeth tone, he could tell who "someone" referred to.
"Who else? In this school, besides her, who else has a grudge against me?" Saying this, Lu Shishu paused for a bit and chuckled slightly, "Oh, and you."
"What about me? I didn’t provoke you or cause you trouble. You can’t blame Yan Chengxi’s mistakes on me. I’m innocent, and I’m unconditionally on your side. As for those baseless accusations, I won’t accept them. I reserve the right to protest and defend myself." Upon hearing this, Nan Jiayan rebutted excitedly, his sentences particularly firm and forceful.
Lu Shishu, hearing his words, was speechless and rolled her eyes at him, "Shut up! I never said this has anything to do with you."
Nan Jiayan paused, was silent for a few seconds, and then asked again, "Are you talking about that rumor on the forum this afternoon, the post accusing you of being a gold-digger?"
"You know?"
"Yeah, Yi Hang told me. In the afternoon, have you already found out who posted it?"
"Of course, Yuanyuan and Wanwan’s friends helped me investigate this afternoon. It was posted by Yan Chengxi’s friend, Xiao Yuwan. That’s her alternate account. Since she posted it, Yan Chengxi must know about it. It’s definitely related to her."
"I also had Ah Ze help me investigate this afternoon. It was indeed Yan Chengxi’s doing, and I plan to confront her about it tomorrow."
"You’re going to talk to her about this?"
"Why not? She maliciously used this kind of post to harm and slander you. Do you think I can just watch? Didn’t I say before that I would handle it when it comes to her. I would prevent things you don’t want to see from happening. Now that it’s happened, I have an unavoidable responsibility, and naturally, I need to take it on."
Listening to his righteous words, Lu Shishu felt something was off. He spoke as if she were really his girlfriend, as if he was protecting her and shielding her from storms, which made her feel a bit touched, but she couldn’t quite articulate it.
"What you said isn’t wrong. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know her, okay? She wouldn’t trouble me."
Nan Jiayan was speechless, and he looked at her with a pitiful expression, "Shi Shu, you have to believe me, I’m innocent. I’ve always rejected her directly and clearly."
"There’s no need to explain between us. We’re completely innocent now, not even friends. To be honest, probably not even counted as friends." Lu Shishu was very unaccustomed to his ’cutesy’ behavior, even feeling a bit of goosebumps.
Though her words were somewhat heartless, looking at her seemingly disdainful expression, Nan Jiayan still felt delighted inside, mumbling to himself with a smile, "It’s okay, we’re completely innocent now, but the future is uncertain. After all, you’re not getting away."
