Qin Mei rolled her eyes. 'Yeah, right. Keep up the act. At least try to make it convincing.' If Gao Hai hadn't described it to her in such lurid detail, she might have actually believed him.
"It was a woman. You even brought her home to meet your parents. They couldn't stop praising her, were completely smitten, and had already picked out a wedding date." Qin Mei deliberately added fuel to the fire.
Jie Jingchen's face darkened. He knew Gao Hai wasn't one to spout nonsense. Even though he knew Qin Mei was saying it on purpose, he still explained, "That's absurd. I didn't bring her home to meet my parents, I brought her back to treat Jing Qi's leg. My parents praising her was just them being polite. As for picking a wedding date, that's sheer nonsense."
"Jing Qi's leg… did she heal it?" Qin Mei sneered.
Jie Jingchen reached out to caress her cheek, but Qin Mei ruthlessly swatted his hand away. "We're talking, so just talk. Don't get handsy," she warned.
