She only liked sweet-smelling, soft girls.]
Lu Yuanqiu said, "I mean Zhang Yifei. He's pretty good at basketball too, and he can dunk. He's amazing..."
Before he could finish, Boss Liu hurried forward and grabbed Lu Yuanqiu's shoulder, frowning. "I'm not asking whether Zhang Yifei can play basketball. What do I care if he can play? I'm asking what you said before that."
Lu Yuanqiu stared at him, straightened his expression, and drew his neck back slightly. "Liu... Liu Jianqing's boyfriend, Zhang Yifei..."
Only after saying that did he seem to realize something. He quickly glanced at Liu Jianqing's dark expression and quietly raised a hand to cover his mouth. "You... you didn't know?"
Seeing Boss Liu's face turn livid, Lu Yuanqiu's expression changed too.
He looked at Liu Jianqing and hurriedly apologized. "Sorry... everyone at school was talking about it, so I thought Uncle Liu knew. I didn't think it through, and just..."
Liu Jianqing gritted her teeth and turned her head away angrily.
Boss Liu patted Lu Yuanqiu on the shoulder. "It's fine. You don't need to apologize. If it weren't for you, I'd still be in the dark."
He gave a derisive laugh.
Liu Jianqing immediately spoke up. "Dad, Zhang Yifei and I are just classmates. We're just good friends who spend a little more time together."
Boss Liu turned toward his daughter. "All I need to do is have Old Wu find a second-year student and ask whether you're just classmates, right?"
Liu Jianqing was instantly at a loss for words.
She lowered her head angrily and clenched her fists.
Only then did Boss Liu pick up the basketball with a displeased expression, preparing to shoot. But as soon as he raised it, he seemed to lose all desire to play and irritably tossed it aside.
