Aaron stared at his friend for a long time and decided that his ears must have been playing tricks at him.

He had grown up with Edith and thought that the idea of Edith Qian having a boyfriend and cohabiting with a strange man was too bizarre.

Pushing the bowl of noodles farther away, Aaron stared at the girl beside him for a very long time, making her uncomfortable. "You try and repeat that. I think there is something wrong with my hearing."

Edith took a deep breath and looked at Aaron in his eyes. "I am now living with my boyfriend." Saying those words for the second time felt much easier for Edith.

"What boyfriend?" Aaron chuckled. "Edith Qian, you are trying to trick me with another of your joke, right? You? A boyfriend? It couldn't be an imaginary one, right?"

Her face turned darker at his words. "What do you mean by that? Aaron Li, are you looking down on me? Why is it so surprising to you that I have a boyfriend?"
