"I know. That's why I want to pursue her. Can you help me?" Mu Chen interrupted An Jia Hui's incessant chattering.
Contrary to expectations, An Jia Hui shook her head. "No!"
Mu Chen was taken aback by An Jia Hui's blunt and succinct reply.
"Ning is my best friend so I won't do anything against her wish or betray her. I admit you're handsome, and Ning doesn't seem to dislike you, but I'll always be on Ning's side. I don't object to you pursuing her, but I won't help you!" An Jia Hui made her stance exceptionally clear.
Mu Chen could not help but reevaluate the naive-looking young woman sitting in front of him. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise. "Fine. Then, can you help me take care of her? If someone bullies her, please tell me immediately, alright?"
"Are you trying to win Ning over by being the hero?" the quick-witted An Jia Hui asked.
Mu Chen shook her head. "No, don't tell her about this. I just don't want her to be mistreated from now on. I'll make sure everyone who dares to bully her suffers twice as much! However, I can be with her 24 hours a day. I think we're allies regarding this matter. You don't want to see her getting bullied as well, right?"
"Of course!" An Jia Hui replied immediately. Clearly, Mu Chen's negotiation skills worked on her.
At this moment, Song Ning brought Mu Chen's food back to the table. She placed the plate in front of him before she said apologetically, "There isn't much food left so you'll have to fill your stomach with this first."
Mu Chen smiled as he said. "It's okay. I'll eat a little first. You can cook for me tonight to make up for this."
What?' An Jia Hui turned to look at Song Ning immediately with an expression of disbelief. What did the man say? Did he ask Song Ning to cook for him tonight?
Song Ning could not ignore An Jia Hui's probing gaze so she introduced the two. "This is my classmate, An Jiahui. Jiahui, this is Mu Chen."
An Jia Hui stared at Song Ning intently as she asked, "And?"
Song Ning replied in confusion, "And what?"
An Jiahui pointed to Mu Chen and asked, "You're going to tell his name, and that's it?"
