However, Ji Rui didn't mind if others misunderstood his relationship with CoCo, but he didn't want Baobao and Le Tong to misunderstand.
"She... is just the daughter of one of my mother's good friends. Apparently, there were jokes about an arranged marriage, but you know, those were all nonsense."
Ji Rui and CoCo indeed played together since childhood.
But Ji Rui, being the kind of person he is, rarely cares deeply for anyone, let alone someone like CoCo, who always treated him as her possession.
He hated being manipulated by others, and CoCo happened to be a woman with a strong possessive streak. But because she's the daughter of his mother's good friend, Ji Rui couldn't be too heartless.
So, he always avoided her whenever possible.
But CoCo's skin was indeed thick enough; no matter how clearly Ji Rui stated things, she continued to see herself as his fiancée.
She didn't even try to hide this in front of Baobao.
