Chapter 736: Don't Guess at a Girl's Fears and Hop

idiot could see what the relationship between them was. Qin Leiyu's expression darkened and Saito Taro Narigoro clenched both his fists tightly, eyes brimming with fury as though he wanted to devour W...Chapter 1171: Roaring Splendor (Grand Finale)

The two of them walked side by side in this campus, which was hailed as one of the world's top business schools, enjoying the faint floral scent that filled the air.

They were like countless other campus couples, shoulders touching, strolling down the paths.

Wang Zheng had just returned from the battlefield, washed clean of blood and injuries. Naturally, he enjoyed this strong sense of life very much. Life has a rhythm, just like the string on a bow; it cannot always be too tight or else it will snap.

All along their journey, many students cast glances at Wang Zheng that ranged from resentment to envy. Su Manman was renowned as a goddess figure across Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, with countless admirers both covertly and openly pursuing her. Yet, she had never been moved by any of them before. This was the first time since coming to Wharton that she was seen in public on campus with another man; it would inevitably cause quite a stir.

Wang Zheng naturally ignored these looks. If there were such a profession as Public Enemy Number One, he would definitely be willing to take it upon himself, holding the goddess's hand and walking side by side with her, then watching those common guys gnash their teeth in envy and helplessness without being able to do anything about it.

Su Manman remained silent too, always wearing a smile. In a foreign land meeting an old acquaintance felt very nice; such feelings were rare and hard-won, requiring careful savoring.

"Actually, did you come to see me for something" Su Manman was extremely smart and naturally understood that Wang Zheng wouldn't visit without reason. Given his personality, it would be almost impossible for him to cross oceans just to pay her a visit on the other side of the world. Perhaps, in his heart, he felt they weren't as close.

But after saying this, Su Manman suddenly became very eager for Wang Zheng's answer and at the same time, she was afraid of what his real reason for coming to America might be.

Wang Zheng looked into Su Manman’s big eyes, saw her expectant gaze, smiled faintly, shook his head, and swallowed back the words that had already reached his lips.

In the end, he just couldn't bear to hurt Su Manman by telling her the cruelest truth.

Perhaps, from this incident, Wang Zheng no longer resorts to any means to achieve his goals. Although he has no sense of propriety, he still has a bottom line and principles. And such a person would definitely be at a disadvantage when encountering those who have neither propriety nor limits.

"I really am just passing by," Wang Zheng continued with the lie; some truths are better left unsaid if they can be.

"I'm going to New York for something and happened to pass through Philadelphia, so I came to see you." Wang Zheng said.

"Alright then. I believe your reason," Su Wanwan might not truly believe him; she could clearly tell that Wang Zheng was hesitating to speak up, but perhaps it would be the best option for both of them if this wasn't exposed at the moment.

"What do you want to eat tonight" Wang Zheng changed the subject. The air in Philadelphia was indeed refreshing, without smog or sandstorms; if there were no unfinished business, Wang Zheng really wanted to accompany Su Wanwan on a romantic stroll through the city.

"Of course we'll go to our school cafeteria," Su Wanwan combed her long hair and said with a smile: "You did say you'd be my shield."

The meaning behind Su Wanwan's words was clear; she wanted Wang Zheng to pretend to be her male friend in order to fend off people like Qiao Shanming, thereby dispelling any illusions they might have about Miss Su.

Wang Zheng smiled wryly and touched his nose. "I'm here to attract hatred anyway, and I'll take the brunt of it on myself. Alright then, for a beauty, I accept."

"That's right, that's much better," Su Wanwan proceeded with an action she didn't even dare imagine herself doing; instinctively, she reached out and linked her arm through Wang Zheng's.

Wang Zheng was shocked to the core, looking at Su Wanwan in disbelief. Her pretty face flushed slightly, seemingly surprised by her own actions as well.

"Act more convincingly," Su Wanwan nodded to herself, trying not to draw attention to their arrangement.

Who knows how much courage it took for Miss Su to make such a move.

Wang Zheng could clearly feel that countless sharp gazes were directed at him; if those gazes were real, Wang Zheng would have been pierced through and left cold and shivering.

Wang Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable with his arm being held by someone else. It was so awkward that it seemed like the limb might go numb any moment. When did being held by a beautiful woman become such a torment

Su Wanwan said, "I feel like your arm is a bit stiff. Isn’t this similar to holding someone at a ball In America, this is quite normal."

"Oh, really" Wang Zheng scratched his head and said, "Maybe I’m too conservative."

Su Wanwan lowered her head; she couldn't help but smile.

Unfortunately, Su Wanwan wasn’t a crude tomboy like Katie. If it were Katie here, she would have shaken her head at Wang Zheng and said, "You’re not too conservative; you’re just shameless."

"How does it feel" Wang Zheng suddenly asked.

Su Wanwan didn’t understand what Wang Zheng meant: "What do you mean by how does it feel"

Wang Zheng coughed and said, “I’m asking about the feeling of holding me. Besides that stiff feeling.”

Splat!

Su Huanhuan's smile instantly captivated the entire campus.

"Very reassuring."

After laughing for a while, Su Huanhuan spoke seriously.

Perhaps, on this foreign land, being able to hold onto Wang Zheng’s arm gave her an indescribable sense of security.

"That's quite a compliment. I feel honored." As he said that, Wang Zheng shot a fierce glare at a Chinese student who was glaring at him with envy and jealousy. If you're envious and jealous, why stare at your big brother like this There are some toads that will never taste the swan’s flesh.

"Why did you order so much for me" Looking at the food on the plate, Wang Zheng sighed. "So in your eyes, I'm someone who eats like a pig"

"What image" Su Huanhuan asked.

"A pig," Wang Zheng helplessly replied.

Su Huanhuan smiled again; this seemed to be the day she had laughed the most recently. Yes, perhaps even she hadn't realized it herself, but since Wang Zheng's arrival, her smile had never left her face.

"This is our cafeteria’s high-end restaurant," Su Huanhuan said. "But it's much cheaper than outside."

Wang Zheng cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "Mm, visually appealing and delicious."ng from the kitchen and felt his appetite piqued. "We really must try this place; honestly, I’m not very interested in Western cuisine—I prefer these country dishes.""Today, we'll drink until we drop!...
