Chapter 23 Unknowingly, things are improving silently.

After this meal, the second half of it was tasteless, and Qin Mo remained silent.

Later, Qin Mo drove her back to Chongfei Garden and returned to the Qin’s to work.

Jiang Wansheng changed her shoes, walked to the small living room on the side, and nestled in the soft sofa, somewhat absent-mindedly looking at the French window in front of her.

The sunlight outside was strong, with a small flower bed and delicate blue snowflakes and small hibiscus flowers planted inside, beautiful and extraordinary.

Normally, she would have been happy to go out and take some photos to share with her friends, but now her mind was in a mess, and she had no time to think about it.

She never thought that someone like Qin Mo would like her.

She was just a female college student studying away from home, with an unhappy family, not very likable, struggling for independence from her original family for more than a decade.

He was like a myth in the business circle of the capital, the head of the top-notch Qin family, with outstanding wealth, status, appearance, and physique. If it weren’t for Qin Weizhao, they would never have had any contact in their lives.

The first meeting was when Qin Weizhao was sick at Chongfei Garden, but she left the USB drive with her thesis in the dormitory and called her to bring it over.

She happened to be free at the time, so she took the things and found this villa following the navigation.

She politely knocked on the door, but the one who opened it was not the expected Qin Weizhao, but a stranger with a highly aggressive appearance, tall and imposing.

Qin Weizhao had told her that she was now living at her little uncle’s house, who was the illustrious, Qin Mo.

She was momentarily startled, standing still for a long time not knowing what to say.

The overwhelming pressure from the superior made her overwhelmed. Not to mention, when Qin Mo saw her not speaking for a long time, the impatience between his brows seemed like a thin blade hanging, cold and lonely.

“Is there something?” he asked in a flat tone.

She quickly came to her senses, took out the small USB drive from her canvas bag and handed it over, “This is something that Weizhao asked me to bring, I’m her roommate Jiang Wansheng.”

Qin Mo stared at her coldly, and after two seconds, lazily stretched out a bony, pale hand with distinct knuckles, palm facing up.

Before she could appreciate it, she put the thing in his palm and when she withdrew her hand, she accidentally brushed his palm with her fingertips. She clearly saw his fingers curl for a moment, making her more nervous, so she put her hands behind her back.

Finally, she hastily said, “I won’t disturb you,” and quickly left.

It seemed like Qin Mo’s palm still retained the cool touch of the girl’s fingertips, his dark eyes fixed on her figure, that day she was wearing a light yellow dress, and when she ran, the hem of her dress fluttered like a floating wave, her fair and tender legs shining in the sunlight.

Qin Mo’s silent black eyes flickered obscurely, then he collected the USB drive in his palm, closed the door, and went back inside.

In the subsequent meetings, it was also due to Qin Weizhao’s inadvertent matchmaking, and later when she had no choice but to ask him for help, bringing him snacks, he helped her out, and now, it’s hard to say how the two of them became so familiar.

Unknowingly, things are improving silently.

What does she really feel about her little uncle?

She couldn’t imagine a relationship between them beyond the boundaries of elders and juniors. She always had a sense of propriety and wouldn’t invest all her feelings in one person without reservation; this was her self-protective mechanism against being hurt.

She was comfortable with the current relationship, and she didn’t want to change it at all.

The boundaries between the two naturally formed, and she felt comfortable and secure in the position of the junior. Let it continue like this, until school starts, or the two will gradually drift apart and return to their own worlds.

Everything was on the right track, how nice.

Lost in her thoughts, her phone ringing brought her back to reality.

She checked and saw it was a call from Ming Yin.

She instantly pushed aside all those random thoughts and was eager to ask Ming Yin something.

Answering the call, “Hello, Ming Yin.” Ming Yin’s voice was filled with deep fatigue and hoarseness.

According to the time difference, it should be early morning in S country.

“You sound tired, I remember it’s still late at night over there, why don’t you go back to sleep?”

“No need, I need to explain everything to you before I can sleep peacefully.”

Jiang Wansheng realized something and coughed lightly, “Isn’t your boyfriend with you?”

Wrapped in a blanket, eyes still closed, Ming Yin held the phone with the last of her energy to talk, “He’s not here, his friend just called him, and now he’s out chatting.”

If it weren’t for that call, that jerk wouldn’t know how late he would be messing around.

Jiang Wansheng asked softly, “What’s going on with you, when did you start dating?”

“Ming Yin was silent for a few seconds before answering in a low voice, ‘Didn’t I mention it to you before? He is the one. I met him at a bar in my sophomore year, and I got a little drunk at the time…’ Ming Yin paused, ‘and he took advantage of the situation.’

Ming Yin and Jiang Wansheng were high school classmates. Ming Yin came from a wealthy family, and in this capital city, the Ming family was considered a third-rate wealthy family. Unfortunately, her mother passed away early, and her father had an affair with someone else while her mother was still alive. After Aunt Ming passed away, her father brought his illegitimate daughter and mistress into the family, and she had always lived with her grandfather, Old Master Ming.

In junior high, she attended a banquet with her grandfather and fell in love with a boy at first sight, keeping it in her heart for many years.

Although she knew who he was, she had never seen him again. Moreover, Pei Que, this person, was known for his playboy reputation and constant stream of women. Ming Yin kept this in mind but never mentioned it to Qin Weizhao.

Unexpectedly, studying abroad allowed her to meet Pei Que, and she took the initiative to pursue him.

Thinking about Pei Que’s scandalous news, Jiang Wansheng was worried, ‘Are you serious? You should know what kind of person he is. I’m afraid you’ll get too involved…’

‘I know,’ Ming Yin’s voice also lowered, ‘I’ve always known what kind of person he is. We should now be… just friends with benefits.’

‘Does he like you?’

…’ There was silence on the other end for several seconds, ‘He treats everyone the same way, with some reservations even if he likes someone. I can’t tell if his feelings are genuine or not.’

‘What about you…’ Jiang Wanshengwas momentarily at a loss for words.

‘Don’t worry about me. I’m an adult. When I got involved with him, I knew what I was getting into. I never hoped for a playboy to change his ways. That’s too unrealistic. After all these years of planning, I’ll have my fun first before thinking about anything else.’

‘I know it won’t last long, so don’t worry, Wansheng, I won’t do anything foolish.’

She wasn’t a fool to seek love from such a worldly playboy.

First, get him, enjoy the moment, and then see what happens.

Jiang Wansheng understood that although Ming Yin appeared carefree on the surface, she was very sensible inside, never crossing boundaries. She could only hope that she wouldn’t get too hurt in the end.

‘Okay, when are you coming back?’ Jiang Wansheng finally remembered the initial purpose of calling her.

‘It should be another month, the schedules on both sides are a bit different, and I might have to deal with some things here, but I’ll definitely be back in August.’

‘When you come back, I’ll treat you and Weizhao to a meal.’

Jiang Wansheng smiled, her watery eyes slightly curved, ‘Sure.’

‘I have to go, he’s back.’ Ming Yin hurriedly finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Pei Que walked over shirtless, his upper body muscles tight and sleek, his cold white skin adorned with a few fresh scratch marks, red and white intermingled, exuding overwhelming desire.

His seductive peach blossom eyes were tinged with red at the corners, filled with lingering lust, his lips curved in a playful smile, wicked and enticing.

This man really resembled a seductive male demon who balanced yin and yang, very alluring.

Pei Que walked over, lifted his leg onto the bed, and pulled the tired woman in his arms, playfully brushing her lips with his thin ones, the high bridge of his nose poking the soft flesh of her cheek, ‘Baby, why aren’t you sleeping?’

Ming Yin was completely enveloped in a warm embrace, his large hand resting on her back, the hot breath spraying around her neck, making it warm.

His voice carried an obvious sense of satisfaction, he must have just smoked, and his slightly hoarse voice was extremely enticing.

‘I was just on the phone with my best friend.’ She nestled in his arms, speaking in a muffled voice.

‘What did you talk about?’

Ming Yin didn’t answer but asked back, ‘You were on the phone too, what did you talk about?’

He chuckled, lowered his head to find her lips and pecked them, laughing, ‘One of my single friends just asked me how to pursue a girl.’

Ming Yin became interested, ‘Your single friend?’

He laughed, ‘Who caught your eye?’

‘A young girl about your age.’

Ming Yin chuckled, ‘Why do you all like cradle-snatching?’

Pei Que’s peach blossom eyes darkened, his hand that was on her back slid forward, pinching her harshly, his lips curved in a wicked smile, ‘She’s quite tender.’

Ming Yin gasped in pain as he pinched her, ‘You old pervert!'”
