Chapter 719: Charlene’s Past

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qin Zhen covered his heart with his hand, making a hurt expression. “Darling, why would you think of me like that?”

“Heh… You know very well what you’ve done. A man like you, in today’s terms, is just a scumbag, understand?” Charlene appeared self-righteous.

Charlene really didn’t want to see Qin Zhen. To her, he was nothing but a nightmare, as he was the reason she once suffered from androphobia.

This was a secret buried deep in Charlene’s heart.

Charlene and Qin Zhen were once a couple, having met at a banquet.

At the time, Charlene attended the banquet with her father. Finding it boring, she sat on the side, wearing a stoic expression that hid her emotions. Unexpectedly, she was approached by two playboys. Charlene found them irritating. How could there be such shameless people?

Like a persistent adhesive, they couldn’t shake them off. Just then, Qin Zhen appeared before her like a prince charming from a fairy tale.

At that moment, Charlene truly believed that Qin Zhen was her true prince.

She remembered the first time she met Qin Zhen. He came over, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and said, “What’s going on? Didn’t I ask you to wait for me in the hall?”

His voice, calm and clear, gently entered Charlene’s ears. His voice was deep and magnetic, very pleasant to listen to.

She remembered being stunned at the time, unable to react to what he said. It wasn’t until he hugged her tighter that she understood. He was speaking for the benefit of those two rascals. He reached out and gently embraced her waist. Because of her slight figure, he easily half-embraced her into his arms.

They pretended to be lovers in order to make those two people retreat.

As she slightly turned her head, their eyes unexpectedly met. Instantly, the clear pupils beneath Charlene’s long lashes seemed to flicker.

Qin Zhen was wearing a black suit at the time, accentuating his tall and handsome figure. From head to toe, he exuded an innate aura of nobility. Beneath his sharp eyebrows lay eyes as deep as the sea, his high nose, and his sensual lips…

Everything about him indicated that Qin Zhen was a handsome man, a top-tier man among men.

At that moment, Charlene’s heart really pounded, feeling like it had lost its rhythm from before. His appearance seemed as if it had been carefully sculpted by God, how could it not move people?

After realizing, Charlene quickly replied, “I just felt a bit suffocated and wanted to come out for some fresh air.” Charlene didn’t expect herself to be quite talented in acting. Their conversation flowed naturally, like that of a couple deeply in love.

“You, you really need to be careful. There are bad people outside, don’t you know?” Qin Zhen hinted at something.

Charlene nodded. The two flirtatious men left awkwardly, finding it uninteresting to pursue a beautiful woman who already had a boyfriend.

After they left, Charlene smiled and said, “Thank you for helping me out. I didn’t know how to handle it.”

She expressed her gratitude to Qin Zhen.

“I’m Qin Zhen. And may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?” Qin Zhen said humorously, instantly amusing Charlene.

“Just call me Charlene. Pleased to meet you,” Charlene said mischievously.

At that moment, feeling a mutual interest, the two quickly became lovers.
