Zheng Qing glanced at the small archway and finally answered stiffly, "It was a gift from a friend."
"Was it Dean Yao?" Mrs. Pulitzer eagerly blurted out a name that surprised Zheng Qing.
"Dean Yao? No, it wasn't him," Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows and denied, "The dean is my professor, my charm gun was a gift from another friend... but due to confidentiality of my friend's information, I cannot reveal her name."
