Chapter 319 - 285 Fierce Woman Afraid of
Translator: 549690339
Li Jinyao patted Song Yunque’s shoulder, and then with a brisk “Gotta go,” he strode quickly out of the private room.
As soon as he left, Song Yunque patted his chest in relief, “Phew, he scared the hell out of me. I was really worried Third Brother would get beaten to death by Second Brother.”
Lu Cong was speechless: “So, you just hid far away in the corner to watch?”
Song Yunque laughed sheepishly, “Well, you know how much I value this face of mine. If it were accidentally injured, it would be a total loss.”
Lu Cong: “Get lost!”
So much for worrying about him, it was all fake, they were clearly fair-weather friends.
Noticing their enjoyment in bickering, Mo Shiting frowned, “When did you start hanging around with Murong Qian?”
The mention of Murong Qian made Lu Cong’s heart flutter, “I owe it all to you.”
“Me?”
Mo Shiting was puzzled.
Song Yunque was also quite curious.
Clearing his throat, Lu Cong explained, “You are the one who wanted me to escort Murong Qian back to her hotel, don’t you remember?”
Mo Shiting:”…”
Now that he mentioned it, he sort of remembered.
“So, did Fourth Brother unknowingly play matchmaker? Is that right? Haha.”
Song Yunque burst into laughter and teased Mo Shiting, “Fourth Brother, how about playing matchmaker for me too next time?”
Mo Shiting responded with a fake smile, “Sure! I’ll pass on your request to your aunt. I’m sure she’ll swing into action very quickly.”
“Pfft—”
Lu Cong almost spat out the red wine in his mouth, his eyes full of schadenfreude.
On hearing this, Song Yunque opened his eyes wide in panic, “Fourth Brother, how can you do this to your dearest sibling? I’m a good partner to Sister-in-law, I can be of great help to you.”
At his words, a flicker of change passed Mo Shiting’s eyes.
Right, he had almost forgotten, this guy had set up a company with Gu Li.
Seeing that Mo Shiting made no refutation, and seemed to have been convinced by him, Song Yunque reassured him, “Don’t worry, Fourth Brother, I’ll help you keep an eye on Sister-in-law. But tell me, what’s going wrong with you two?”
“Are you having a conflict with Gu Li?”
Lu Cong turned to look at him in surprise.
Mo Shiting kept silent and just kept drinking.
Glancing at each other, Lu Cong and Song Yunque guessed that the couple was definitely having a serious problem.
However, if Mo Shiting was unwilling to talk, regardless of how they wheedled, it was impossible to learn about the internal situation.
Just when they thought Mo Shiting would not share his feelings, they heard him say somberly: “How to court a woman who doesn’t love you and whom you’ve hurt?”
Lu Cong:”???”
Song Yunque:”???”
Did they hear wrong?
Gu Li didn’t love him?
Was that really true?
“Are you joking, Fourth Brother?”
Song Yunque blinked and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after a moment’s pause.
Mo Shiting sneered, “Do I look like I’m joking?”
“But…”
Scratching his head, Song Yunque couldn’t make heads or tails of it, “It doesn’t make sense. Da Ha once told me that Sister-in-law has liked you since she was a child.”
A scornful smile curved up on Mo Shiting’s face.
Her acting was really good, not only did she deceive him, but also those around him.
Since she had deceived him, why didn’t she just deceive him for a lifetime…
Could that Murong Si be better than him?
The more Mo Shiting thought about it, the more reluctant he felt. His grip on the wine glass tightened, almost shattering it.
Noticing this, Lu Cong quietly took away the wine glass from his hand and advised, “Don’t belittle yourself. With your qualifications, there’s no woman you can’t win over if you put your mind to it. Gu Li is no exception.”
“How should I win her over?”
Mo Shiting felt somewhat desperate to try out every remedy. After all, the two persons in front of him were not very experienced.
Song Yunque volunteered with a grin, “Here are two tips for you: ‘A coquettish woman is afraid of a persistent man’ and ‘To cater to her tastes!'”
“To cater to her tastes?”
Mo Shiting suddenly got interested.
What does Gu Li like?
Eating!
Sleeping!
And architectural design…
In an instant, several ideas flooded his mind, and he smiled, feeling enlightened.
The next day, Gu Li received her admission letter from Imperial City University.
Upon opening it, she was somewhat taken aback.
What happened?
The previous day, she clearly heard the admissions office’s teacher tell her that she had been admitted as a first-year student. How come in the blink of an eye, she was again a junior?
Could it be Mo Shiting’s mischief again?
Or had there been some misunderstanding in the meantime?
Gu Li rechecked the envelope and realized that the postmark date was a day earlier than the phone call she received. This confirmed that the teacher who called her had made a mistake.
Realizing that she had wronged Mo Shiting, Gu Li bit her lip, feeling inexplicably irritated.
She put the admission letter back into the envelope, preparing to go out for some fresh air. Just then, the doorbell rang..
