Not the boyfriend.

Tan Pan Ting couldnt believe every time she met Gu Jiao Wen, he either locked her up or mocked her. She raised her hand to slap Gu Jiao Wens cheek, he captured her arm, pulled her onto his lap and he caged her arms on her lap.

You didnt give me a chance to stop you, Gu Jiao Wen whispered in Tan Pan Tings ear.

You MF, let go of me, Tan Pan Ting said.

Why would I let you go for you to hit me? Gu Jiao Wen asked.

A MF and a deceitful bastard like you deserve to be hit, Tan Pan Ting said.

Tan Pan Tings parents and Gu Jiao Wens parents mouths widened at the same time.

When did I deceive you? Gu Jiao Wen asked.

How can you act innocent? Tan Pan Ting asked.

Tan Pan Ting turned around to glare at Gu Jiao Wen, and her lips accidently brushed his lips.

Tan Pan Tings parents were embarrassed how brazen she was to kiss Gu Jiao Wen in front of his parents.

Tan Pan Ting remembered the sickening feeling when Gu Jiao Wen accidently kissed her lips last time so she elbowed his chest and stood. Unluckily for her, she forgot he was holding her arms and fell back on his lap.

Honey, I know you miss me but you should control yourself in front of our parents, Gu Jiao Wen teased.

Who would miss a MF like you? Tan Pan Ting asked.

Gu Jiao Wen let go of Tan Pan Ting before she permanently maimed his ability to have children.

Tan Pan Ting sat back in her seat for a second before she stood to lunge at Gu Jiao Wen.

Im not going to let you leave without receiving a memorable lesson from me, Tan Pan Ting said.

Pan Ting, are you done causing a scene? Tan Zui Shi asked and held back Tan Pan Tings arm.

Tan Zui Shi was embarrassed how highly he spoke of Tan Pan Ting to Gu Jiao Wens parents. He told them Tan Pan Ting was an understanding and a gentle woman. He was ashamed Tan Pan Ting cursed and hit Gu Jiao Wen in front of everyone.

Dad, let me go, Tan Pan Ting said. She couldnt explain all of Gu Jiao Wens offences against her in one go to her parents. I dont want to stay here.

Pan Ting, have you forgotten youre in front of your elders? Tan Zui Shi asked. Even if youre upset with Jiao Wen, you should control yourself in front of everyone.

Dad, I hate him, Tan Pan Ting said. She freed her arm to hit Gu Jiao Wen again. I want to kill him.

Tan Zui Shi wished there was a hole for him to crawl in.

Pan Ting, do you know youve crossed a line? Tan Zui Shi asked.

Gu Jiao Wen stood in front of Tan Pan Ting before Tan Zui Shis hand slapped Tan Pan Tings cheek. Instead Tan Zui Shis hand landed loudly on Gu Jiao Wens cheek.

Everyone at the table tensed. Tan Pan Ting didnt know why Gu Jiao Wen would take a slap from Tan Zui Shis hand for her.

Uncle its my fault, Gu Jiao Wen said. I made Pan Ting upset. Uncle, Im the one who deserves to be hit.

Big brother, Im sorry, Tan Zui Shi apologized to Gu Qi Jiang.

Gu Jiao Wen bowed in front of his parents and Tan Pan Tings parents.

Uncle, aunty, its my fault, Gu Jiao Wen said. I didnt tell Pan Ting that her blind date is me, and I made her upset.

Chen Ting Yu stood to hold Tan Pan Tings hands before Tan Pan Ting could protest.

Pan Ting, we can understand youre upset because Jiao Wen didnt tell you truth, Chen Ting Yu said. Next time if Jiao Wen bullies you again, you can tell aunty. Aunty will deal with Jiao Wen for you.

Aunty, its not what everyone thinks, Tan Pan Ting said. Gu Jiao Wen and I dont have that kind of relationship. Were not lovers, Tan Pan Ting said. Gu Jiao Wen and I dont know each other.

Pan Ting, you said Jiao Wen is your boyfriend and you call his name comfortably too, Chen Ting Yu said.

Because he Tan Pan Tin said.

Tan Pan Ting wanted to explain how much she hated Gu Jiao Wen for his offences against her, and how she cursed his name in her sleep.

Pan Ting, you need to take responsibility too, Wen Xue Fang said. If you told us that Jiao Wens your boyfriend sooner then youll have no reason to be upset with Jiao Wen.

Pan Ting, youre not a child anymore, Tan Zui Shi said. Cant you be more understanding and reasonable?

Dad, Gu Jiao Wen isnt my boyfriend, Tan Pan Ting said. I dont have a boyfriend.

Then why did you say Jiao Wens your boyfriend? Tan Zui Shi asked.

Because Gu Jiao Wen bumped into me and I forced him to pretend to be my boyfriend, Tan Pan Ting said. Dad, mum, I dont want to go on anymore blind dates you and mum choose for me. I didnt think Gu Jiao Wens my blind date today, and Im angry at him for not telling me the truth. Dad, mum, there is nothing between me and Gu Jiao Wen.

The parents didnt know what to believe. They looked at Gu Jiao Wen for answers.

Jiao Wen, is it true? Chen Ting Yu asked. Are you and Pan Ting not dating?

Like what Pan Ting said, Im her boyfriend, Gu Jiao Wen said.

You! Tan Pan Ting said. Dad, mum, dont listen to his nonsense.

Nonsense? Gu Jiao Wen asked. He acted like he couldnt see Tan Pan Tings daggers. What am I supposed to say? Should I tell our parents about all the times we kissed and held each other intimately?

You! Tan Pan Ting said. Lucky for Gu Jiao Wen, Chen Ting Yu was holding her hands. Stop saying nonsense.

Pan Ting, sit down, Tan Zui Shi said. If you dont behave, Ill disown you.

Dad, believe me, Tan Pan Ting said. There is nothing between me and Gu Jiao Wen.

Big brother, big sister, Tan Zui Shi said. Im ashamed of myself for raising a bad daughter. If Pan Ting and Jiao Wen didnt love each other then I would be too ashamed to see big brother and big sister again.

Big brother, big sister, Wen Xue Fang said. Im sorry too. Pan Tings dad and I have doted on Pan Ting since she was a little girl.

Its alright, Chen Ting Yu said. She pulled Tan Pan Ting to sit down next to her again. Pan Tings a young woman. She cant let Jiao Wen get away with everything.

Pan Ting, look how good your mother-in-law is, Wen Xue Fang said.

Pan Ting, you dont have to worry about Jiao Wens elders mistreating you because we only came here to visit Jiao Wen, Chen Ting Yu said. Jiao Wens elders all live in the city.

Aunty, Im not worried about that, Tan Pan Ting said. Aunty, uncle, I need to leave first because there is somewhere I need to be.

Pan Ting, whats so important that you need to leave? Tan Zui Shi asked.

Dad, I have a job interview, Tan Pan Ting said.

Job interview? Tan Zui Shi asked. Pan Ting, you have a job already.

I stopped working there for a month, Tan Pan Ting confessed.
