Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Is it him?

Zhao Pan’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to see Yun Shifei standing behind him, holding a large dog.

"Uncle, why do you throw stuff at my house every day?" the girl asked seriously.

Uncle?! Zhao Pan almost spat blood. He was only twenty-five—still in his prime! How could he possibly be an uncle already?

But now wasn’t the time to be hung up about that. He felt like a thief who had been caught in the act, awkward and flustered. Luckily, he was clever and thought quickly.

He immediately came up with an excuse.

"It’s not throwing; someone asked me to deliver it to you."

Yun Shifei looked at the cake on the ground and then raised her eyes to Zhao Pan. "Who sent it to me?"

He couldn’t say. Inside, Zhao Pan was agonized; if he could have told her, he would have done so already.

This Mr. Cheng was undeniably peculiar. Giving gifts was meant to express one’s feelings, but he refused to let Zhao Pan admit the gifts were from him, leaving Zhao Pan to sneak around like a guilty thief for days.

Just when he was about to be liberated, he got caught.

He looked at the girl, whose vigilant expression had replaced the bewildered, adorable look she had a few days ago. Now her glass-like, luminous eyes were cold and guarded, as if staring at a villain.

She was even holding a big dog, seemingly to boost her courage. If he made a wrong move, the dog would probably attack him immediately.

Zhao Pan felt miserably wronged.

Yun Shifei sensed Zhao Pan’s awkward predicament. She knew that unless she took the initiative, he wasn’t going to say anything.

She asked, "Was it him?"

Him?

Could she have guessed?

Zhao Pan wasn’t sure. He knew the gifts were sent per Mr. Cheng’s instructions, and Mr. Cheng had forbidden him from naming him.

After deliberating, Zhao Pan nodded and said, "You’ve got it."

It was really Cheng Lie?

But Zhao Pan’s ambiguous reply made her a bit skeptical.
