Tofu was somewhat worried, while Dan Zihao’s face flashed with a hint of ecstasy.
Pan Pan is such a clean and elegant beauty. How could she possibly feed that dog of a man! This isn’t a huge issue; I still have a chance! That dog of a man, I’ll watch you go down!
Just as Dan Zihao was gloating, Han Lie had also burst into laughter.
Oh, Pan, my beauty, you really know how to create opportunities!
With a cold expression, he sprang to his feet.
"I’m not eating! This is such a buzzkill! You and Xi Luting get all lovey-dovey every weekend, and even a simple meal between us has to include this third wheel. Did I ever complain about that?! Now you’re disgusted with me?! Fine, I’m leaving! Remember, until you’ve broken things off cleanly with Xi Luting, don’t come looking for me again! I can’t cater to your princess syndrome!"

His presence was commanding, his words righteous and severe, his stance principled, his chest filled with indignation.
Having said that, he turned and strode away.
He was like a hero who could not be swayed by power, nor corrupted by wealth, nor moved by poverty or lowliness; he firmly drew a line between himself and the coquettish, two-timing girl.
Pan Ge’s first reaction was anger. What nonsense are you spouting... Huh?! Wait, that’s not right!
By the time she realized something was amiss, that dog of a man had already vanished.
What in the world kind of dog is this?! I put up with your bullying for ages, patiently cooperating, all because I thought you’d help me get rid of that toad. But you did absolutely nothing useful, just found a chance to skip out and leave me hanging. So you were just playing me for a fool all along?! You’ve used about a dozen of the Thirty-Six Stratagems on me, haven’t you?!
Pan Ge was, after all, a smart girl and quickly figured it out.
Deceiving the heavens to cross the sea, creating something from nothing, a dagger hidden behind a smile, feigning retreat to lure the enemy, fishing in troubled waters, removing the ladder after luring someone up, turning from guest to host, slipping away like a cicada shedding its skin, making a clean getaway... Damn it, a master of strategy, are you?!
She was so furious her chest felt like it might swell to the size of Yu Yun’s.
In contrast, Dan Zihao was absolutely delighted, the glee on his face impossible to hide. He offered disingenuous comfort, "Pan Ge, don’t get angry with such an uncouth man. I..."
"Shut up! What business is it of yours?!"
Pan Ge, whose head was throbbing with anger, slammed her hand on the table at his words, completely turning on Dan Zihao.
What do you think you are? Worse than a dog!
After cursing, she suddenly had another realization. Damn it, I have to add another one: killing with a borrowed knife! Did this dog of a man calculate that I’d have no choice but to vent my frustration on Dan Zihao? Such a brilliant mind, and he uses it for nothing decent!
She huffily began to pack up the tableware, intending to take it home to wash before throwing it away.
But halfway through packing, she suddenly froze again.
Hey, where’s my spoon?!
She frowned, recalling the scene. An image flashed in her mind: Han Lie, clutching her spoon tightly, his athletic figure striding away into the distance.
Pan Ge braced her hands on the table, a humorless laugh escaping her. "HEH... HA HA HA HA!"
So, another stratagem to the list: Making an Easy Grab. You were just messing with me, weren’t you? Well done, master strategist. You just remember this: we are not finished!
Tofu watched Pan Ge in terror, her heart wailing. We’re done for; it’s game over! My Sis Pan hasn’t laughed in years. She’s dropped the act, laid her cards on the table—she’s gone dark! No, wait! Gone dark? What gone dark? This is her revealing her true colors! Oh, heavens! A storm of blood and violence is about to hit. Are you all ready?
Dan Zihao, looking utterly crestfallen, frowned as he observed this Pan Ge, who was completely different from her usual self.
My goddess... Could there be something wrong with her?! But what exactly is the problem?
The young, rich heir, accustomed to always getting his way thanks to his family’s wealth, was completely bewildered.
