HIDDEN MARRIAGE

718~719~720

Cha Eun Woo was a wild child at the time, preferring not to stay home. He had insisted on modifying an abandoned bus here into a house and he would just go there at random times to think about life…

"Cha Eun Woo...Eun woo…" Ling Zhizhi called his name a few times, but he was sound asleep and gave no reaction.

Ling Zhizhi went closer to Eun woo’s ears and whispered his name sharply.

Cha Eun Woo woke up with a startle. "What?! Who said that Shen Xiaobai is more handsome than me?! Are you blind?!"

Chapter 720: I’m Telling Lisa You Like Her

Cha Eun Woo, who had just woken up, frowned at Ling Zhizhi standing beside his bed. "Why...are you here? I was wondering who was it that woke me up this way…"

Cha Eun Woo was once the hottest star in the industry. His strongest rival was Shen Xiaobai and they were often compared to each other. The last thing he wanted to hear was someone saying that Shen Xiaobai looked better than him. Even the slightest whisper of such a thing would wake him up from his dreams. Despite Shen Xiaobai retiring, he was still paranoid.

"Bro Ming has been looking for you since yesterday morning. It’s roughly an hour before the signing ceremony and we’re very far away from the venue. Assuming that traffic is clear today, you’ll only have about half an hour left to make it," Ling Zhizhi told him urgently.

"Oh, so what now?" Eun woo lay back on his bed, showing no signs of leaving.

"Bro Ming has been busy liaising for this event for the past three months. He's so worked up that he even passed out in my office just now."

"And?"

Ling Zhizhi was not fazed by Cha Eun Woo’s annoying attitude. Had it been the old her, she would have yelled at him and cried tears of frustration already.

Suddenly, Cha Eun Woo's phone rang.

"Hello, Brother Eun woo! Why did you leave early last night? We’re going out on the water today. Do you want to join us?" sang a girl’s voice over the phone.

Eun woo replied with a lazy tone, "Alright, I’ll be there in an hour!"

He then started preparing himself.

Ling Zhizhi looked at Cha Eun Woo, reminded of her past days…

He had been like that in the past -- selfish and arrogant, self-centered and disregarding everyone. What could have happened to make him act this way again?

Cha Eun Woo was about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks.

Ling Zhizhi had taken out her phone to call Lisa. "Hey, Lisa…"

Cha Eun Wooe’s expression changed when he heard Lisa’s name. Without further thought, he grabbed Ling Zhizhi’s phone and ended the call. "Ling Zhizhi, what are you doing?"

Ling Zhizhi glared at him straight in the eye. "I’m asking her if Bro Ming has woken up."

"What?"

"What did you think I was trying to do?"

Cha Eun Woo’s expression darkened and he returned her phone to her begrudgingly. "I thought you were calling her to come over! What else could I have thought?"

Ling Zhizhi remained silent and looked at him solemnly.

"What are you staring at?" Cha Eun Woo feeling the heebie-jeebies from her intense gaze.

"Cha Eun Woo attend the signage ceremony now."

Cha Eun Woo laughed at her. "Getting braver now, aren’t you? You dare to order me around?"

"If not, I’ll tell Lisa that you like her."

"What?!" Cha Eun Woo’s eyes widened in aghast. "How dare you, Ling Zhizhi!"

Ling Zhizhi maintained her steady expression on him.

Cha Eun Woo felt like he had been tricked, so he quickly denied, "Are you dumb? Whoever said that I liked her?"

"I heard it when you were talking in your sleep."

Blood rushed to Cha Eun Woo's feet and he feebly stammered, "You...you’re lying, aren’t you?"

"I recorded it."

"How despicable, Ling Zhizhi!" Cha Eun Woo quickly grabbed her phone to destroy the incriminating evidence.

Much to his horror, Ling Zhizhi had already pressed the "send" button. Nonchalantly, she told him, "Actually, you didn’t say anything in your sleep, but I’ve recorded down our conversation and sent it to my own email. It’s futile to delete it from my phone now."

Although Cha Eun Woo had not explicitly mentioned his liking towards Lisa, his reaction had basically given him away.
