Since Jenny asked Lily all those questions out of concern, Lily did not feel annoyed and allowed Jenny to finish her words. However, she felt that it was inappropriate to tell Jenny about her relationship with Alexander right now. That was something she had to keep from Jenny, and she made a mental note to apologize to Jenny one day.
"Don't worry. My friend isn't from here. He's here on business too, so we agreed to meet,” Lily paused before continuing, "We met that late because he was only available then. We were both busy with work during the day, so..."
Although her excuse sounded a little fake, it was much better than getting lost during her night run. Jenny nodded thoughtfully, but something hit her suddenly. "Your friend is a guy?"
Lily did not know how to respond, but her expression answered Jenny.
"Is he your boyfriend?” Jenny continued.
Lily just said, "I guess?"
'He has been my husband since we registered our marriage, and a husband had to go through being a boyfriend before that. They’re the same anyway.’
"Oh." Jenny let out a sigh of relief, looking like all the burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Lily found it
funny that Jenny reacted this way and asked, "Why do I feel you're happy about me having a boyfriend?"
Jenny looked just like a mother who had been waiting for her daughter to get a boyfriend.
