Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 163: "Wait wait wait, he has a fiancee? "

"Wait wait wait, he has a fiancee?" whispered Jolie, her face looking like she was ready for all the tea.

Qie Xieling really couldn’t come to terms with Jolie’s physical appearance. He was used to her being a voice in his mind now she was right here bullying him in person.

He would never admit but growing up, he did consider her his sister in another dimension. Jolie would make fun of him all the time and they would engage in childish banter but she always kept him company and played games with him.

Qie Xieling glanced at Boran who was still engrossed in his food before whispering, "We will talk about it later."

After eating breakfast, Qie Xieling wanted to go back to the inn and sleep some more as he still felt exhausted but Jolie wanted to explore. She ended up tricking him into buying her a tiara which Qie Xieling came to regret later.

"Do I look like a princess? I feel like Princess Diana," she said, flipping her hair back as they entered the inn.

Qie Xieling laughed while saying, "You don’t look like her. She was a legend."

"I didn’t say I look like her. I said I feel like her. There is a big difference," said Jolie before doing a perfect curtsy. "Thank you for buying me a crown, my lord. I will forever be grateful."

Qie Xieling helped her straighten it up with a slight smile on his face. "You look pretty," he said before hearing the sound of something crashing to the floor.

When they turned around they saw a part of a dragon’s tail going up the stairs.

"What’s his problem? I swear he has been acting up today," said Qie Xieling thinking maybe he should talk to him.

"Someone is jealousssss," said Jolie with a silly grin.

Qie Xieling still couldn’t make sense of Jolie’s nonsense. He left to go upstairs and Jolie followed.

The innkeeper whose vase had been broken yelled, "Who will pay for this?!"

Jolie patted her pockets and when she realised she was broke, she smiled weirdly. She was wondering if she could do a heist and rob the AI system of its money.

When Qie Xieling got up the stairs, he found that Yunning’s door was open and all three of them were in there like they were having a secret meeting. Yunning who had been out of commission for hours, seemed much better, her cheeks rosy.

"What are we doing? Are we planning our next task?" he asked but Yunning who was still upset about the previous day, rudely replied,

"You aren’t invited to this meeting. You can leave."

Qie Xieling would have been hurt by her words if he wasn’t tired. He didn’t want to be faced with her stinky face anyway, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay," before turning to leave.

Just as he took a step, he heard a familiar voice as sonorous and terrifying as that of a god. It sent shivers all over his spine.

"Sit down," he said and Qie Xieling’s lungs froze. He couldn’t breathe for a second.

Before he could even say anything, Jolie ran in and said, "The innkeeper is so mad. Give me money. I am broke as fuck."

Qie Xieling tsked as he took out a pouch filled with coins. Eling didn’t have much money to his name as she had spent it on Yana, blinded by love. Before he could take out some money from it, Jolie took out the entire pouch and left.

Qie Xieling, "..."

He leaned his head out of the door yelling, "If you spend it all, I will abandon you! I mean it."

After yelling that, he turned around only to be met by everyone’s gaze. "What?... And you, you owe me. You broke that vase, not me," he said, pointing at the dragon that looked like it was owed millions.

He sat down on the table and asked, "When did you get your voice by the way?" he asked and King Luo ignored him.

He had been pretending all this time but when he saw Eling leaving, he couldn’t help but sell himself out. This meant not only him but Boran and Yunning were surprised.

"It must be the bloodstone around his neck. Where did you get it?" asked Yunning and Qie Xieling’s lips quirked, thinking King Luo would mention his name.

"That’s not important. Eling, where is the box the celestial gave to you?" asked King Luo and Qie Xieling’s smile sank. A thank you would have sufficed but the man was so stingy.

"I will give it to you but in return, you have to give me something," he said with his face deadly serious.

"I don’t think you are in the position to make demands," said Boran and Qie Xieling smiled slightly before shrugging his shoulders and saying,

"Okay." After saying that, he got up as though to leave. Before anyone could say anything, Jolie came back, and in her hand was a pastry. They had just eaten breakfast but Jolie who had just discovered how food tastes was too addicted. She couldn’t help it.

"You want a bite. I bought the one with cranberry filling," she said almost feeding Qie Xieling directly.

Qie Xieling dodged to the side and said, "No, thank you. You are going to get a tummy ache if you keep eating." The two of them walked out of the door and left Yunning and Boran stunned, speechless.

"Who is he?" she asked and Boran answered,

"It’s a she and that’s Eling’s admirer that sprung up from god knows where. She is the one I was talking about. She said she came to pursue him."

"Let’s not talk about that. Do we really need him to get to Yana?" asked King Luo and the two of them fell silent, unable to respond for a minute.

Meanwhile, Qie Xieling lay on the bed with his arm resting beneath his head. Resting his other hand on his chest, he said, "I didn’t sleep with him but I dreamt it. What does that mean?"

Jolie was sitting crossed-legged on the floor about to scan the system for any flaws or weaknesses she could manipulate.

She opened her eyes and said, "You are long gone. I told you before that you two behave like you fucked already but no... you wouldn’t believe me."

"We are jus-," he said but Jolie interrupted.

"Just friends? Before you say that I need you to think about it carefully. Is he the first person you want to call when something good happens? Do you miss him more than you miss anyone else? Do you get jealous?"

Qie Xieling scratched his forehead in denial. "We are friends that’s all."

"Okay then how about this. I will help you take a love quiz later tonight. I am sure then you will have the answer you are looking for."
