“Do you know where Ziming went?”

He put down the teacup and gave her a warm smile, his eyes fixed on her .
“Ah?” She paused to think and then shook her head blankly .
She really did not know where he went .
“Senior, if you have something urgent to consult with Ziming, just directly call him . ” She smiled at the man .
“Ah, you don’t know . ” He nodded and then slightly raised a brow .
Somehow, his action gave her an ineffable feeling .
“Yes, I don’t know…”
As his girlfriend, it should be a little weird that I don’t know where he is…
Noting the desolation on her face, the lips of this man moved ever so slightly .
“Can you tell me who chased whom between you two?” he probed further, noticing her inattentiveness .
“Ah?”
She really did not know how to answer his successive questions .

“Why? Is this very hard to answer? Aren’t you two dating? There must be one chasing another first before two people can get together,” he pointed out with a smile .
His light-hearted remark only gave her immense pressure .
“It should be… him chasing me,” she replied after some hesitation .
Actually… it should be counted this way . If not for Ji Ziming looking for me to sign a contract, I wouldn’t end up as that annoying fellow’s shield .
“Is that so? It’s Ziming who chased you, huh . Now, I’m a little curious…”
An almost unnoticeable smile crept into his face as he asked her further .
However, before he could ask another question, she quickly interrupted him .
“Ah, senior! It’s pretty late already . ” She yawned . “I’m a little sleepy and want to go back to bed . ”
When she yawned, he stared at her for a few seconds . Just as his expressionless face was starting to make her uncomfortable, a warm and gentle smile appeared on his face .
“I overlooked that . I didn’t notice that it is already late, so I shan’t bother you further . ”
He stood up from the sofa and smiled at her .
While his smile was very gentle and warm, she still perceived something weird about it .

“Senior, take care . ”
Once he was out the door, she inwardly sighed in relief .
He’s finally leaving . I don’t even know why this taciturn senior would suddenly ask me so many questions . After more than a decade, he sure has become a talkative man .
He’s being quite nosy, too!
“Ah!”
Just as she moved to close the door behind the man, he suddenly stopped and turned around .
“…” The corner of her lips twitched when he suddenly turned back .
What other issues does this Senior Fu have! It had better not be another intrusive question that only women usually ask!
She was wrong this time, though . He did not ask her about anything else but—
“As your senior, I think I should tell you something . ”
The smile on his face slowly disappeared as he gave her a serious look .
“Mhm?” Affected by his serious attitude, her expression also turned solemn .

“Although I don’t know why Ziming will like you, I must still say this to you . ” He pursed his lips and stared at her hard .
“Please properly treat this relationship . Ziming is usually an apathetic person with nearly cold-blooded looks, but he’s actually a very devoted and faithful man . ”
She was slightly stunned by his words, not expecting him to say such things .
Still, when she heard him describe Ji Ziming, her heart turned soft as a sweet smile graced her lips .
Alas, her smile did not last long .
His next words made her heart heavier with each syllable .
“You are his second girlfriend . He was deeply in love with his first girlfriend, but his family unfortunately didn’t agree to it, so they were forced to break up…”
S-Second girlfriend?!
She widened her eyes in shock .
Meanwhile, as though he did not notice her shock, the man continued emphasizing his words seriously .
“I didn’t expect him to actually fall in love and date you, so I hope that you’ll properly protect this relationship and not hurt him…”
He gave her a serious look as his clear words slowly drifted into her ears .
Ji Ziming… had an ex-girlfriend he used to love deeply .
T-They broke up because his family didn’t agree to it…
Instantly, the photo that had slipped out of the man’s book drifted into her head .
So… that woman is really his former girlfriend…
“Pei Ge? Pei Ge?”
Drowning in her thoughts, she only regained her senses when she heard Fu Mingxuan’s voice .
“Eh, senior! You’re still here?” she asked dazedly .
“Are you alright? You don’t look okay . ” He looked worried .
She tugged her lips and gave him a slight smile . “I’m fine, senior . You should go back; I’m really sleepy . ”
“Mhm-kay . Rest up . Good night . ”
Once he left, her smile vanished at once . She then leaned against the closed door heavily .
That woman in the photo is the one Ji Ziming has always liked, huh…
Ha ha! Everything makes sense now!
I am indeed merely his shield…
