Chapter 508: Chapter 508: I’m a Professional at Confronting People

"Your voice is so loud that it’s disturbing my rest, and I haven’t even said anything about it. How can you start turning the tables on me? And who said I can’t come out? Ridiculous." Xu Longzhen gave the woman a look that said, "You’re being unreasonable," and slowly walked toward Xu Ke.

"How did you get involved with a person like that?" Xu Longzhen raised her eyebrows with a questioning look as she glanced at Xu Ke.

Someone who didn’t know the situation might think it was an insult, but Xu Ke knew there was no malice in the question. It was obvious from the look in Xu Longzhen’s eyes—there was no ill intention.

When the woman heard what Xu Longzhen said, her face turned ugly in an instant. "What do you mean by saying that? Explain yourself. What do you mean by ’a person like me’? What have I done?"

The woman was visibly angered by Xu Longzhen’s words, but no one paid her any attention. Xu Ke and Xu Longzhen continued their conversation without even sparing her a glance.

"I also don’t know how it happened. It’s all quite baffling." Xu Ke shrugged, a trace of helplessness on his face.

Xu Longzhen rested her chin in her hand and seriously examined Xu Ke for a moment before saying, "It’s probably because beauty causes trouble. I really liked the game console you gave me last time. How about I treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?"

Xu Ke checked the time on his watch, showing a bit of apology on his face, "Sorry, I have to go home at this time. My wife is waiting for me to have dinner. Maybe next time."

"Uh-huh." Xu Longzhen shrugged too, not pressing the matter. She had just said it casually and didn’t really intend to treat someone to a meal just for a game console. She only wanted to provoke.
