?Chapter 204: Chapter 175: The Rougher the Seas, the Pricier the Fish Chapter 204: Chapter 175: The Rougher the Seas, the Pricier the Fish Inside Starbucks, Shen Qingning listened to Cheng Zhu’s words, her cool and detached face slightly tense.
She had indeed been very nervous while video-calling Xu Yun just now, but she believed she had masked it pretty well.
What annoyed her the most, however, was that Cheng Zhu was completely relaxed when meeting her stepmother.
That was partly why she had felt a bit of disappointment earlier.
To make matters worse, he went ahead and called her out on it, watching her with an expression as if he were watching a play!
“Do I?” Shen Qingning stubbornly replied, lifting her eyes to meet his gaze.
Her aura was as strong as ever, but right now it was all about putting on a brave front.
“Alright, alright.” Cheng Zhu laughed and took a sip of coffee, looking down.
Shen Qingning, seeing his demeanor, felt her sense of loss spreading in her heart.
Because in her opinion, boys of this age would usually try to “hide” a girl they liked in front of certain people.
Such as when facing parents.
Cheng Zhu’s behavior was far too natural; he didn’t mind letting his own mother know that he was spending time alone with a girl.
It gave the impression that they were just friends, pure and innocent, with nothing to be ashamed of, no fear of others asking too many questions or overthinking things.
Not like her at all. Cheng Zhu wasn’t a bit nervous when meeting her stepmother, but Shen Qingning herself was somewhat jittery.
At this moment, after Cheng Zhu took a drink of coffee, he began to say, somewhat vaguely, “Actually, I’ve been pretty nervous all afternoon.”
He just didn’t specify whether he was nervous about renting the shop space or something else.
“Hmm?” Shen Qingning looked up. “Can’t tell.”
“Well of course, a man’s feelings aren’t easily shown on his face!” Cheng Zhu boasted, “Didn’t auntie also fail to notice?”
The aloof girl gently bit her straw, flatted it with her teeth, took a tiny sip of coffee, and then uttered a soft “oh.”
