"Haha! Have you not heard this joke before? When people say 'I have a friend,' it usually means they're talking about themselves."
Sang Yuan gave a helpless smile. "I was just caught off guard for a moment. I was thinking, 'Do I really have such a bad reputation in your eyes?' And think about it, I'm not stupid. If I had the money to keep a starlet, why wouldn't I save it for marriage and find myself a good wife?"
"No, no, I was just kidding!"
"Alright then, I'll forgive you for now."
As Sang Yuan spoke, his lips seemed to have a mind of their own, curling up uncontrollably.
"Hang on, let me call Sister Wei and ask."
Ni Bingyan pulled up her contacts and made the call.
For something this important, she couldn't just take Sang Yuan's word for it. She definitely had to confirm it herself.
She was open about it, not worried that Sang Yuan would overthink things, and made the call right in front of him.
