After passing through the flower market, they soon arrived at the place selling fish. When the boss saw Jing Hanchuan, he greeted him warmly. “Mr. Jing, you’re here to buy fish again?”

“Yes.”

Jing Hanchuan lowered his head and chose fish, but Xu Yuanfei saw the words written in ink on the cardboard.

“Five yuan for two, ten yuan for six!”

This…

“Just these few.” Jing Hanchuan had already chosen the fish.

“I’ll give you an extra one as usual today. These small fish have been in good condition recently. If you take good care of them, they will live.” The boss smiled and looked up at Xu Yuanfei. “Girlfriend? This is the first time I’ve seen you. It’s really rare…”

“I…” Xu Yuanfei was about to explain, but Jing Hanchuan interrupted her.

“I’ll transfer the money to you on WeChat.”

“No need. I can even give them to you.” It wasn’t that the boss was very generous, but Jing Hanchuan really patronized him often. In addition to these ordinary goldfish, he had also bought a lot of expensive breeds. He really took care of his business.

Only when Jing Hanchuan took out his phone and was about to scan the QR code did Xu Yuanfei come back to her senses.

“I’ll pay!” Xu Yuanfei took out her phone.

Jing Hanchuan frowned. She seems to be in a daze today.

On the way back…

She wanted to ask about the competition goldfish and finally couldn’t hold back. “You told me yesterday that those goldfish are worth tens of thousands of yuan. Today, this…”

“What’s wrong?” Jing Hanchuan tilted his head to look at her.

Xu Yuanfei suddenly felt a little timid. She couldn’t possibly ask him directly if he had lied to her. After walking around the bird and flower market today, she had seen many expensive goldfish. But they were completely different from the ones Jing Hanchuan had given her.

The color of the fishtail and even the anal fin had strict requirements. The breeding environment was also very strict. How were they the breeds he had given her?

She was almost certain that the fish from before were ordinary ones from the countryside!

This person is too devious. He actually used such a thing to fool me because I added more lemon juice for him?

She felt inexplicably aggrieved.

When the two of them arrived at the parking lot, the Jing family members were already waiting.

It was almost eleven o’clock, close to lunchtime. Jing Hanchuan said with a normal expression, “Eat?”

The Jing family members were dumbfounded!

Sixth Master is asking a girl out for a meal?

If this isn’t a f*cking date, then what is?!

Xu Yuanfei was stunned for a moment, and she felt extremely conflicted. “Sorry, I still have something to do. I have to go home first.”

“Okay.” Jing Hanchuan’s face was calm. “I’ll send you.”

He was no different from an ordinary gentleman.

“No thanks. I drove. I can go back by myself. Thank you for today. I’ll take good care of the fish. Goodbye.” With that, Xu Yuanfei ran to her car and got in.

Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes…

She’s already rejected me many times.

When he thought of how she had shaken him off cleanly today, he felt even more unhappy.

“Sixth Master, then we…” a Jing family member asked carefully.

“Go home.”

The Jing family members looked at each other. Why does his tone sound a little angry?

But in the following days, Xu Yuanfei seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Jing Hanchuan didn’t notice anything amiss for the first few days. But when he occasionally scrolled through her Moments and found that she hadn’t posted an advertisement in a long time, he found her WeChat and clicked on it…

There was nothing!

It wasn’t that there were no messages but that she had blocked him.

He sent a message, but there was no reply.

When he went to the dessert shop again, the part-time students said that the lady boss had gone on a trip, and they didn’t know when she would be back.

He got someone to investigate Xu Yuanfei’s background, and the conclusion he came up with was actually…

The name was fake, and the registration information of her dessert store wasn’t hers. When he wanted to investigate her further, everything seemed to be blocked by something, and nothing could be found.

“Nothing?” This was the first time Jing Hanchuan had encountered such a situation.

“It should have been erased by someone. We can’t find anything. Even the part-time students in her store don’t know where she lives. The car she drove before is also under someone else’s name, and this person is just an ordinary person. We can’t find anything.”

“Don’t find excuses for your uselessness.” Jing Hanchuan didn’t know what to feel.

Disappointed, lonely…

He felt uncomfortable.

“Sixth Master, do you think she’s a spy someone sent to get close to you? Maybe from some kind of secret service? Otherwise, why wouldn’t we be able to find anything? She’s probably from a secret service.”

Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes at him as if he was looking at an idiot. Does he think this is a spy movie?
