Chapter 19 - Having a Crush Equals Youthful Mental Illness!



Being his woman is ‘serious business’? He’s just like all the other men! I really misjudged him!!

Mu Qingqing was ready to stand up, walk out, and send him on his way.

But before she could act, Bai Zhou spoke first: “Do you think the Li family’s power compares to that of the Mu family?”

“Hm?” Mu Qingqing was puzzled. Why was he suddenly asking this?

But she still answered: “The Li family has been a fixture in Magic City for generations, while our Mu Hai Group has only gained prominence in the last ten years.”

Bai Zhou nodded at her words and continued: “Alright, and how do your resources compare to Li Yonggang’s?”

“Li Yonggang …” Mu Qingqing muttered his name, almost grinding her teeth.

Sigh … She let out a soft sigh and said,

“I’m still far behind him.”

“Well, there you go!” Bai Zhou shrugged, casually crossing his legs.

“Your family’s background is no match for his, and your personal power is weaker too. Without an enticing enough offer, what makes you think I’d leave them for you?”

“I wouldn’t.” Mu Qingqing slowly shook her head.

Now she understood what Bai Zhou meant by “serious business.” Yes, it made sense! Her strength didn’t match the Li family’s.

If Bai Zhou publicly switched sides, could the Mu family protect him?

The answer was obviously no. Even if she wanted to shield him, her father, Mu Hai, would abandon Bai Zhou for the sake of the company’s safety.

Bai Zhou added: “Miss Mu, you should feel lucky that I’d even consider risking this much for someone as beautiful as you!”

“Is … wait, what?!” She almost got swept up in his words—thankfully, she caught herself just in time.

What do you mean, “for my beauty”?! You’re just another shameless flirt!!  

Mu Qingqing’s face flushed with anger, but this was a different kind of anger than before.

It was driving her crazy, and her solid composure, which never wavered when facing Li Yonggang, was now being thoroughly tested by this man—just a lowly underling of Li Yonggang’s!

Even Bai Zhou was curious: “Miss Mu, there’s something I don’t understand. I’m just a subordinate of Mr. Li Tai. Why are you so eager to have me work for you?”

“I’d like to know that too!” Mu Qingqing didn’t hesitate to answer.

That was the truth. After all, this was only their second meeting. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that she wanted this man to join her side. Maybe it was because the once arrogant Li Yonggang now listened to him so obediently. Or maybe … because he was handsome?

But she quickly dismissed that thought.

No way, he’s just another sleazy guy!!  

This was her first formal interaction with Bai Zhou, and although she wanted him to work for her, she knew there was a limit to everything.

So, she stood up and said, “Mr. Bai, please wait a moment. I’ll go check on … your Young Master.”

As she mentioned Li Yonggang, she sighed helplessly.

Just as her hand touched the doorknob, Bai Zhou’s voice rang out again: “Miss Mu, I look forward to the day you give me a reason to willingly switch sides.”

Mu Qingqing froze in place.

For Bai Zhou to willingly switch sides? Does that mean he expects me to offer myself?!  

“You!” Mu Qingqing’s face turned red with anger. She turned back, clenched her fists in frustration, and gave a small huff before opening the door and leaving.

After Mu Qingqing left, Bai Zhou smiled.

And he smiled broadly.

Of course!  

As a villain’s lackey, successfully teasing the female lead—how could that not feel great? Naturally, Bai Zhou’s words weren’t sincere. Even if Mu Qingqing, this stunning beauty, offered herself to make him switch sides, he would still think twice.

After all, he wasn’t the kind of guy who couldn’t walk past a pretty woman without losing his mind.

At that moment, the other door to the room opened.

Chen Su, the secretary who had left earlier, walked back in.

“Mr. Bai, Miss Mu has asked me to keep you company.”

Keep me company?  

What kind of company?  

Bai Zhou could have made a joke out of it, but after teasing the main female lead, messing with a “maid” felt boring.

Chen Su walked in silently, simply watching Bai Zhou. And the way she looked at him, her eyes shone even brighter.

If Mu Qingqing had been studying Bai Zhou earlier, this woman was practically salivating over him!

As Bai Zhou prepared to stand up and stretch, Chen Su suddenly stepped forward and spoke: “Um, Brother Bai Zhou, could I … ask for your contact info? WeChat is fine.”

There it was!  

Bai Zhou immediately realized this girl had developed a crush on him!

Bai Zhou coughed slightly and looked at Chen Su, “Secretary Chen, do you know what behavior like this is called?”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

Chen Su was puzzled by Bai Zhou’s question.

Bai Zhou replied: “You can look it up online—having a crush is formally called ‘youthful mental illness’!”
