A flash of embarrassment immediately flushed Hua Lifang's face. What Yi Jinli said to her was like a slap in the face!
Third Aunt was visibly annoyed by this. She complained to Ling Yiran, "Hey, Yiran. Lifang has good intentions. Why is your boyfriend so arrogant. He's our guest. Does he want us to worship him like he's our master?"
Ling Yiran simply said lightly, "My boyfriend is quite shy. He keeps his distance from people he doesn't know well."
Third Aunt and Hua Lifang almost choked on their saliva.
Shy?!
The man did not look like he was shy.
Nevertheless, when the man gazed lazily at them, they could not help but feel their hearts begin to beat quickly. It was as if they were subconsciously afraid of his gaze.
Third Aunt pursed her lips and did not say anything else. On the other hand, Hua Lifang shamelessly and insinuatingly asked when Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli met, how they got together, what Yi Jinli’s true identity was, what kind of job he had, his family background, and so on.
Those questions were without a doubt all vaguely dismissed by Ling Yiran.
As a result, Hua Lifang found herself asking questions that seemed to have no substance. Nonetheless, with Yi Jinli there, she dared throw a fit. Hence, she forced a smile and asked, "Then what are you working as now?"
"I'm the food delivery rider of a small restaurant," Ling Yiran answered sincerely, showing no signs of inferiority despite her profession.
Nevertheless, in Hua Lifang's ears, Ling Yiran sounded like she was in dire straits considering that she used to be a lawyer who had been admired by people as an intellectual person. Ling Yiran was now working as a food delivery rider; it was not much different from her previous job as a street sweeper.
