Chapter 677: Tear-jerking Stupidity

That assumption was also built on the basis that Selina was not of unquestionable identity.

Yet, in his opinion, Selina’s identity was a big problem.

Especially the gentlemanly Aiden beside her.

He knew this person very well. Many people from wealthy families in Emperor District were secretly investigating this Vice President of Tianheng Holdings, but the information they could find was very limited.

Until now, the identity of the CEO was still a mystery.

Meanwhile, he was not extremely concerned about who Selina was. At most, he would ask Leng Qirui to spend less time with her.

Since he was here today, he must find out something about them.

“Selina, are you close to Nuannuan?” Leng Jinpeng asked.

Selina nodded. “Yes, very good.”

“Oh! I heard from Lil Rui that Nuannuan is your big boss. The two of you know each other because you were bitten by a snake when you were touring Nuannuan’s village. Nuannuan saved you, so she became your big boss.”

Selina had just taken a sip of red wine. Surprised by Leng Jinpeng’s story, she almost spat it out.

Although she did not spit it out, it was not much better. She choked...

Although Leng Qirui was beaten black and blue by this tyrannosaurus, he could not help but reach out to pat her back when he saw how badly she was coughing.

That scene...

Ahem. Leng Jinpeng felt that ever since he ate so much dog chow from Chi Yang and Nuannuan, other dog chow from anyone else would not seem too excessive in comparison now.

(Leng Qirui, ‘Am I anyone else? Angry!’)

When Selina finally cleared her throat, she looked at Leng Qirui curiously. “Did you trick your father or did Nuannuan tell you that?”

Selina’s question made Leng Jinpeng involuntarily raise an eyebrow.

So, Selina admitted that it was a lie, and she probably had no intention of hiding Nuannuan’s real identity?

Seeing Selina’s attitude, Leng Jinpeng’s initially anxious heart felt a little calmer.

Leng Qirui stared at Selina expressionlessly and asked, “Didn’t you get bitten by a snake and got to know Nuannuan after she saved you?”

“Of course, not! Am I that stupid to be bitten by a snake?”

Leng Qirui, “...!!!”

It was there and then that his brain cells connected.

Damn!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex lied to him!

This was too much!

“Then, how did you two meet?” Leng Qirui asked.

Selina grinned at Leng Qirui. “You want to know?”

“What nonsense is that? Of course! We’ve known each other for so long, and I don’t even know what your relationship with that ty... with Zhong Nuannuan is. How is this reasonable?”

Selina giggled. “I’m not telling you!”

Leng Jinpeng, who had been waiting for an answer, was slightly disappointed.

Actually, he could have asked, but out of respect for Nuannuan, he decided to ask Nuannuan personally after seeing her tomorrow.

However, figuring out Nuannuan’s real identity was imperative. He believed that a considerate girl like Nuannuan would understand his good intentions.

Seeing that Selina was unwilling to talk about herself and Nuannuan, Leng Jinpeng changed the subject.

“I heard that Miss Selina is the daughter of Duke Eton of Luntan?”

“Yep.” Selina had nothing to hide when it came to this. After all, with everything that was going on around Nuannuan, there was nothing she had to hide anymore. Thus, she admitted it generously.

“yet, as far as I know, Duke Eton only has two daughters, but Mr. Aiden is your elder brother. Are you two not related by blood?”
