"We’re in a competition, there must be a deadline! Your grandfather is waiting for me to bring someone to visit him," Bo Sishen said with a very serious expression as he looked at the excited Bao Tinghao and spoke in a stern voice.
"Second Uncle, just one semester, five months. During this time, we will both give our best. If, in the end, she asks for a divorce and chooses to be with one of us, you lose. If she doesn’t choose any of us, I will accept my defeat, and you can formally reveal your identity to her."
Bao Tinghao spoke swiftly, as if reciting a script, finishing in one breath.
Bo Sishen listened, and he couldn’t help but admire Bao Tinghao’s courage. Then he curved his lips into a light smile, "Five months, long or short, but are you sure Mu Shini will really fall for you? Even facing a man like me, Mu Shini has no improper thoughts. How do you plan to win her over?"
Bo Sishen remembered that time in the car when she lay on top of him, yet she didn’t take advantage of the situation to be intimate with him; instead, she warned him.
This alone was enough to prove that Mu Shini wouldn’t betray a husband she didn’t like.
Moreover, she had promised him.
Bao Tinghao didn’t get angry but smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I will work hard. You don’t need to worry about this. Just keep your promise. She has no improper thoughts about you because you’re not her type, so..."
Bo Sishen’s face darkened at Bao Tinghao’s words.
Even so, he still felt somewhat displeased.
He’s not Mu Shini’s type?
If that’s the case, then he wouldn’t aim to be her type; even being her hotpot would be fine.
That girl loves hotpot the most.
Bao Tinghao paused, then said to Bo Sishen, "Second Uncle, you say Mu Shini has no improper thoughts about you, not because you’re outstanding or handsome, but because you lack the ability to make her heart race."
Bo Sishen smiled helplessly, "Tinghao, are you saying Mu Shini has yet to meet a man who makes her heart race?"
Bao Tinghao nodded, "Second Uncle, it’s nothing. I’m heading back to school now! From now on, I’ll be living at school! Thank you, Second Uncle, for giving me a fair chance to compete with you. I know competing for a woman with an elder is wrong, but as a man, I feel it’s necessary to fight for it!"
Bo Sishen slightly raised the corner of his mouth, lifted his hand, and patted Bao Tinghao on the shoulder, "Tinghao, I don’t oppose you having normal interactions with Mu Shini, but don’t neglect your studies."
"Thank you, Second Uncle! Whether it’s love or academics, I won’t fall behind!" Bao Tinghao bowed respectfully to Bo Sishen, paused, and continued, "Second Uncle, after I move to school, I think we should meet less often. My school is connected to hers; if she sees us together, how will you explain our relationship?"
As soon as Bao Tinghao left, Tan Mu stood there, looking hesitant. He rarely saw a smile on Bao Tinghao’s face, and now Bao Tinghao left with a radiant smile, which was unprecedented.
It took Tan Mu a long time to come back to his senses. Then he entered the house and from a distance saw the gentleman slumped on the couch, looking very languid.
