Liang Xun’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He immediately turned off the speaker and went to the window with his cell phone.

Jing Yao hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to breathe loudly.

She scolded Zhu Ling in her heart. Zhu Ling had clearly sworn not to say anything, but Zhu Sui found out about this in less than a day.

In the past, only she and Liang Xun knew about this. Liang Xun definitely wouldn’t tell anyone, so it’s her fault no matter what.

Ah, I really want to die.

Liang Xun lowered his voice and confirmed that the two of them at the dining table could not hear him. Then, he asked, “How many people know about this?”

Zhu Sui could hear the seriousness in his tone and said in disbelief, “No way, Liang Xun. You are really asexual!”

Liang Xun said coldly, “You’re the only one who knows the truth about me and Jing Yao. Don’t you think I am?”

Zhu Sui thought of how concerned Liang Xun was about Jing Yao and clearly realized that it was impossible. He asked in confusion, “Then why did Zhu Ling say that you were asexual? She even said that you said it yourself.”

Liang Xun already knew the general process. He didn’t understand why Zhu Ling had such an adverse opinion of him. He was much better than Jing Yao’s so-called ex-fiancé, right?

He told Zhu Sui about his conversation with Jing Yao. Zhu Sui was speechless. “I still have the so-called prenuptial agreement you made. Liang Xun, haven’t you been smart since you were young? Why are you digging a hole for yourself regarding Jing Yao?”

At the mention of this, Liang Xun’s heart felt a little heavy. He just wanted to keep her by his side first. He would think about the rest later.

“Destroy that agreement. It has no legal effect to begin with. Also, tell me now how many people know about this rumor.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Sui was a little embarrassed. “When my sister called me, I was eating with our buddies. I put the phone on speaker.”

“…” Liang Xun.

“Why don’t I help you explain?” Zhu Sui tried his best to make up for his sister’s mistake.

Liang Xun refused. “Forget it. I’ll treat you guys to a meal with Jing Yao after I’m done with my work.”

Zhu Sui said, “Jing Yao still thinks that you two have an arranged marriage. Are you sure she will come out with you?”

Liang Xun smiled. “She will.”

Zhu Sui shook his arms and felt a chill run down his spine. Liang Xun had been a scheming man since he was young. Every time he smiles like this, he must be scheming against someone again.

Jing Yao kept eating. She only nodded or shook her head when Shen Yu talked to her.

“Jing Yao!” Liang Xun walked back and called her when he saw this scene.

Jing Yao trembled slightly and finally pulled her face out of the bowl. Then, she looked at Liang Xun with a sweet fawning smile.

Liang Xun loved to see her smile like this the most. His heart trembled every time.

He whispered helplessly, “Don’t eat so quickly. It’s not easy to digest.”

Jing Yao thought that Liang Xun was going to denounce her and was shocked. She did not expect Liang Xun to only say that and heaved a sigh of relief.

After Liang Xun sat back, he did not say anything else and only ate seriously.

This was the second time that Shen Yu ate Liang Xun’s cooking. He was originally eating seriously. However, after Liang Xun returned, he kept secretly glancing at Liang Xun with curiosity and sized him up.

Liang Xun knew what he was curious about, but he ignored him. After dinner, he chased him out mercilessly.

After the meal, Jing Yao stood up and prepared to clear the table.

Liang Xun hurriedly got her to put it down and said, “Go to the courtyard and walk a few rounds to digest your food. I’ll clean these up.”

Jing Yao said, “People say that you don’t wash the dishes if you are the one who cooks. It’s a custom.”

Liang Xun smiled. “There’s no such saying in our family. Go quickly. I’ll tell you something when you come back.”

Jing Yao had no choice but to leave. Liang Xun’s courtyard was quite well taken care of. Although it was not especially big, the flowers and plants were well-planted and quite ornamental.

Jing Yao walked outside for half an hour and was brought to the study by Liang Xun when she returned.

“Jing Yao, come with me to meet a few people this weekend. They’re all my good friends,” Liang Xun said bluntly.

Jing Yao instinctively wanted to reject him. After all, she always felt that the two of them would not have any interactions after the child was born.

Liang Xun could tell what she was thinking at a glance. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Zhu Sui said that he heard about me being asexual from his sister. Where do you think Zhu Ling found out about this?”
