Chapter 994


    Lina had not just heard them. It was obvious she had also misunderstood—evident from her gaze on


    Jacob!


    Zuko could not help but burst intoughter.


    Jacob panicked and was about to exin, but Zuko interrupted him. “Yeah, Jacob, don’te looking


    for me anymore! I really can’t do that kind of thing you mentioned!”


    Jacob was at a loss for words.


    ‘Damn it!’ Jacob widened his eyes, doubtful and exasperated.


    Lina’s heart warmed, and she tightened her grip on Zuko’s arm.


    Zuko smiled at her, then fixed his serious gaze on Jacob. “I know you wanted me to join you in this line


    of work back when we were in there. But Jacob, what Lina said is right. Being a male escort isn’t a


    long-term thing!”


    “Zu—”


    “Perhaps you should also consider your own future!”


    Jacob’s nostrils red as he panted heavily.


    Zuko struggled to contain hisughter, feeling his stomach ache. He confidently led Lina to stroll by the


    seaside, leaving the shocked Jacob.


    Not long after they left, Zuko’s phone buzzed incessantly with messages.


    Jacob: [Hamerton, you owe mepensation for damages to my reputation!]


    Jacob: [Bro, I’m begging you, exin to Lina. How am I a f*cking male escort?!]


    Jacob: [You’vepletely destroyed my lifelong innocence in just one night!]


    Zuko chuckled softly and replied: [Handle Violet’s matter nicely, and I’ll consider clearing your

    He then turned off his phone and focused on apanying Lina to watch the sea.


    The deep blue ocean connected with the night sky, with countless stars intertwined with the distant


    lights.


    Zuko nced down and saw that the girl’s hand was still linked with his arm, unsure if she had


    forgotten it or if she had done it intentionally. He preferred to believe it was thetter.


    He chortled, and the sound reminded Lina.


    She paused briefly with a blush and released her hand, softly apologizing, “I’m sorry, I forgot.”


    Zuko suddenly felt like the air had lost its sweetness.


    Lina looked into his eyes. “Um… Also, was I rude to your friend just now?”


    “No, why would you say that?” he asked.


    Lina borated, “I shouldn’t judge your rtionship based on his upation as a male escort.


    Everyone has their own way of making a living. Maybe he has his reasons for being one!”


    “Or maybe, he has willingly chosen to follow that profession.” Zuko continued to smile.


    Jacob had always been quick-witted back in university, and Zuko had never won an argument against


    him. Zuko never expected he would be able to tease him like this one day!


    “Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore,” Zuko said softly. “It’s gettingte. Let’s go back and rest.”


    Lina nodded.


    This time she walked in front with him watching her from behind.

    Zuko’s phone vibrated again. It was another message from Jacob.


    Jacob: [Bro, you nearly flummoxed me tonight. There’s something important I didn’t mention… I visited


    Centrolis a few days ago, and your parents hope you can go back for a visit!]
