Chapter 217: We Agreed to Be Dogs Together, But You’re Falling in Love Behind My Back?

“Zhao Ruoxi, I like you,” the man’s voice sounded in her ear. Zhao Ruoxi looked at the pile of clams in front of her and burst into laughter.

“If…” she began, “you can turn these clams into a delicious dish for me…”

“All right,” he replied, “I’m willing to be with you!”

How did things develop to this point? Su Xuan, who was cooking at home, watched Zhao Ruoxi sitting on the couch, engrossed in the TV, and fell into deep thought.

In fact, today’s developments had been going quite well. Unlike their previous date, when a sudden case had disrupted their plans, today had been smooth. After lunch, the two of them had arrived at the seaside, coincidentally just as the tide was receding. They watched excited tourists around them searching for seafood below, and for some reason, they were both infected by the enthusiasm and joined the crowd.

Let’s join in the fun!

However, it seemed like things were taking an unexpected turn again. Su Xuan felt that if they continued like this, his confession plan might be delayed indefinitely. So he started preparing for it. How did it end up like this in the end?

…Because of Su Xuan’s sudden idea, he had gathered a bunch of clams and surrounded the jewelry box, using it as a means to confess to Zhao Ruoxi. The woman in front of him smiled warmly, telling him that she was more interested in tasting Su Xuan’s cooking than the jewelry. For instance, could the clams they had gathered together be turned into a delicious dish?

“Knock, knock, knock—” The sound of knocking interrupted them. Su Xuan peeked out from the kitchen and saw Zhao Ruoxi getting up from the sofa, already opening the door. She returned with two large bags of crayfish she had bought, one with garlic flavor and the other with a spicy kick.

At the same time, she looked towards the kitchen. “Su Xuan, are your clams ready?”

With the takeout already here, it would be awkward if he hadn’t finished cooking yet. “Coming, they’re ready to serve!”

“Wow!”

“This stir-fried clam is really delicious.”

“Delicious…”

The young woman cautiously picked up a clam with her chopsticks, took a bite of the tender meat, and her eyes lit up.

“Congratulations, Mr. SuXuan.”

“You have such a perfect girlfriend!”

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan was filled with excitement and immediately stood up, hugging Zhao Ruoxi tightly. “This is fantastic!”

Considering that Su Xuan had been single for many years, the sudden realization that he now had a girlfriend hadn’t fully sunk in. Zhao Ruoxi, too, found it somewhat amusing that Su Xuan hadn’t fully processed the fact that he was no longer single.

“Although I’ve been thinking about this for a while, I still want to ask…”

‘You, such a handsome and successful person, why did you have to go on blind dates to find a partner?”

Regarding this question, Su Xuan felt the need to explain.

“Probably because I’m just as busy as you.”

“With work piling up every day, there’s hardly any time to go out and socialize…”

This resonated with Zhao Ruoxi, who also felt overwhelmed by her busy schedule. Two people who had just entered into a relationship also felt a bit shy about getting too close too soon.

After opening the TV, they watched a movie together. By the time they finished, the spicy crayfish on the table had been reduced to empty shells.

“It’s getting late. Let me take you back.”

Su Xuan was certainly not the type of person to rush into anything. Just as their relationship had been established, he wasn’t prepared to rush into anything physical. He believed in cherishing the girl. After a successful confession and the establishment of their relationship, they watched a movie together at his place. When it was time to take her home, he offered to dispose of some trash as well, which seemed like the best possible outcome.

“Sure…”

“I’ve changed my shift, so I won’t be free this week.”

“But you should have my work schedule, right? We can plan to meet after I finish work?”

Zhao Ruoxi reached for her bag and said to Su Xuan. Before they had officially become a couple, she had already given him her work schedule to arrange their dinner date.

“Sounds good.”

Considering their previous interactions, they would continue in the same direction. Su Xuan didn’t find the transition from a potential match to regular friends and then to a boyfriend too difficult to adapt to. The only thing he had to face the next day were the mischievous smiles of his colleagues at work.

“I said, do you guys have something wrong with your eyes?”

“Why are you smirking like that?”

“Do you believe I’ll slap you with handcuffs?”

When Su Xuan arrived at work today, he noticed that his colleagues were wearing the expression of “I know a secret that only I know”…

And it wasn’t just one of them…

Basically, several police officers in his office had that expression.

After enduring it for a while, he finally rolled his eyes.

He bluntly scolded them.

However, after he finished speaking, several people, led by Zhou Qiang, immediately stood up from their seats.

They walked up to Su Xuan.

“I mean, Lao Su…”

“Is it about having a girlfriend? You should have told us sooner.”

“I mean, if you don’t tell us, we’d still think you’re single.”

“This girl looks so pretty; you’re really lucky!”

“But confessing at the beach is too romantic.”

“Next time, the people in our office should try it too…” L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l–B1n.

As soon as Zhou Qiang spoke, Su Xuan knew that his confession from yesterday had become public knowledge.

But the people on beach patrol yesterday shouldn’t be from their unit, right?

How did these guys find out?

“Come on, tell me, who leaked my secret?”

“I even deliberately chose a beach.”

“But before I could even say anything, you all knew?”

Su Xuan’s lips curled into a smile, and he spoke coldly.

His fists were already clenched.

Just waiting for them to reveal the person who exposed him, and he would take care of that guy!

“But if you want to beat someone up, that’s impossible.”

“After all, it wasn’t someone from our unit who told us.”

“People from our brother units even know you; you’ve been quite famous lately, haven’t you?”

“People can recognize you even when you’re in plain clothes.”

“They saw you confessing there and secretly took photos to show me.”

Zhou Qiang burst into laughter!

“But I didn’t expect it, Su Xuan!”

“You’re quite romantic…”

“Now that you’ve won the beauty, do you have to treat us to a meal?”

“Isn’t it that you’re single again…”

“I feel like having barbecue today, so how about treating me?”

After Zhou Qiang said this, Su Xuan immediately stood up!

Well, if Su Xuan didn’t mention barbecue, he might have forgotten about this matter.

He didn’t know how those two colleagues he encountered yesterday had been dealt with after Zhou Qiang’s intervention.

Thinking of this, Su Xuan immediately left the office.

Leaving Zhou Qiang looking at his back, he followed in confusion.

“It’s not, Su Xuan…”

“You said you’d treat us, so why are you running away? Hey, come back!”

“You said we’d go single forever, but you’re secretly in love. You have to treat us!”

“What?”

“You mean those two from yesterday?”

“We did go check it out, but we didn’t find any issues…”

The police officers from the neighboring office were puzzled when they saw Su Xuan’s serious expression.

They did go there.

But they didn’t find any issues.

What’s going on here?
