As the car passed over the bridge, she noticed a crowd gathered below, instantly feeling a familiar sense of "affection."
Deng Ling hurriedly got out of the car and, as expected, saw several homeless men huddled together, laughing and chatting. Their topic of conversation was the new resident under the bridge—Liu Tingke, who had just arrived and caught the eye of the Rich Woman.
The intoxicated Rich Woman staggered over, attempting to kiss Liu Tingke. "Hey handsome, come home with me! I promise you'll eat and drink well!"
Liu Tingke stepped back repeatedly, saying, "Madam, you've had too much to drink!"
"What do you mean 'madam'? I want you to come home with me today!" As they tugged at each other, the Rich Woman's clothing began to slip.
Liu Tingke tightly shut his eyes, silently reciting "what is not proper should not be seen." "Madam, please have some self-respect!" The homeless men nearby started to jeer, "Bro, are you going or not? If you don't go, we will..."
Though it was a bit disloyal, Deng Ling couldn't help but laugh at the scene. It turned out that the once-stuffy scholar was being teased in such a way. Just as Liu Tingke was about to be forcibly kissed, Deng Ling dashed over and shouted, "Don't touch my man!"
She shielded Liu Tingke and his "virtue" behind her. "He has AIDS; otherwise, why do you think he’s young and strong yet out here homeless?"
Deng Ling's expressions were vivid and her actions exaggerated; she performed so well that the Rich Woman fled in panic.
"I risked myself to save you; you should thank me properly!" Deng Ling said proudly.
"Are you sure you were saving me?" Liu Tingke looked at the homeless men who had scattered far away and found it hard to believe her words.
Following Deng Ling back to her apartment—a small two-bedroom unit—he felt uncomfortable. After staying there for a few days without much thought, he now realized that Deng Ling had a boyfriend...
It was not ideal for them, a man and a woman, to be alone together in a room.
After taking a shower, Liu Tingke wrapped himself up tightly, making Deng Ling feel as if she were the one with ulterior motives, ready to pounce like a predator. Liu Tingke didn’t even glance at her as he walked straight into the study, which had just become his bedroom. He sat on the prepared bedding, lost in thought, his mind filled with images of Deng Ling.
When she had told that Rich Woman, “Don’t touch my man,” an unexpected feeling surged within him, and he found it rather pleasant.
What was happening? He actually had feelings for her!
But she had a boyfriend!
Liu Tingke lay down and closed his eyes, silently repeating to himself, “Interfering in someone else's relationship will bring retribution…”
After listening to Deng Ling’s request, Liu Tingke pondered for a moment before asking, “Is there compensation?”
Deng Ling’s expression froze instantly, and Liu Tingke shot her a disdainful glare. “You’re not thinking of enslaving me for free, are you?” He still needed to survive here; he couldn’t do it without money! She better not try to shortchange him!
Deng Ling forced a smile and replied, “Of course not!”
Internally, she scoffed at how shrewd he had become. Why did they have to keep things so separate? He ate her food, drank her drinks, and stayed in her place! Deng Ling smirked slyly, “By the way, make sure to pay the rent by the end of the month.”
Hmph, challenging her?!
Due to his previous work in antique appraisal, Liu Tingke had gained a bit of fame in the industry. More and more people were requesting his assistance, leaving Deng Ling with no choice but to seek his help once again.
This time, Qi Yang treated him with considerable courtesy, but Liu Tingke maintained a tense expression throughout, exuding an air of arrogance.
Deng Ling watched from the side, wishing she could rush over and pinch him.
Noticing Deng Ling's subtle movements, Qi Yang cautiously asked, "Thanks to Ling Ling for bringing Mr. Liu to help, are you two close?"
Just as Deng Ling was about to cover up the truth—she didn’t want Qi Yang to know that Liu Tingke was staying at her place—Liu Tingke spoke up first, casually saying, "It's just a casual acquaintance."
Deng Ling was taken aback. Was he trying to distance himself? Although there was nothing wrong with what he said, his smug and aloof demeanor made her feel irritated.
Hmph, so he thinks he can act all high and mighty? He won't be getting any of the food I cook tonight!
