204 Psychological Barrier
“Mo Ting, I thought I’d already made things clear last time.” Su Yuan said coldly. In this second life, she would never fall in love with anyone again, nor would she be willing to form any ties with anyone. She told herself firmly in her heart.
As soon as he heard Su Yuan call him by his full name, Mo Ting lowered his head in disappointment. After a long time, he suddenly asked, “No one, or do you have a psychological barrier?”
“What? What psychological barrier?” Su Yuan asked, confused.
Mo Ting’s mouth opened and closed. After a long time, he finally looked straight into her eyes and said, “You’re a clean freak, emotionally clean, and physically clean.”
Su Yuan was stunned at first, as if she wanted to explain something, but in the end, she kept quiet. Mo Ting knew he was right. That time at the villa, Su Yuan had directly rejected him. She had also rejected Mu Yuchen the last time at the entrance.
The reason was the same. She was extremely insecure. In her heart, he and Mu Yuchen were the same. Or rather, in her eyes, not only him and Mu Yuchen, but all adult men were the same. She rejected men from the bottom of her heart.
When he was in school, he had minored in anthropology and had studied in detail the views and reactions of different people to different things. Su Yuan’s various reactions showed that she had a very serious emotional mysophobia.

Or rather, in her eyes, not only him and Mu Yuchen, but all adult men were the same. She rejected men from the bottom of her heart. However, this extreme lack of security and emotional mysophobia were the aftereffects of being greatly hurt in a relationship.
Mo Ting’s eyes darkened as he looked at Su Yuan with heartache. What had his little girl suffered before he appeared? Would it cause her to become like this?
“Little Yuan.” He walked in front of Su Yuan, but he did not get too close to her. Instead, he sat on the coffee table one step away from her. Even though his body was some distance away from her, there was nowhere to place his long legs, so he could only lean against Su Yuan’s legs.
An aura unique to Mo Ting slowly floated over and Su Yuan’s body tensed up. Mo Ting’s gaze toward her was filled with gentleness. She did not avoid it as she lifted her head to meet his gaze. In order to ease the tense atmosphere, she jokingly said, “President Mo, you’ve studied me quite thoroughly.”
Mo Ting laughed as he looked into her eyes. “Of course, you’re the first person I’ve ever fallen in love with. I’ll instinctively want to know more about you.
‘Motherf*cker! What’s the situation with confessing so easily? There was something wrong with him!’
Su Yuan shifted her gaze away, feeling a little flustered. She did not know what to do, so she could only take a sip of milk.
“I’m guessing that you turned a blind eye to those misunderstandings because of my identity.” Mo Ting replied.
“I’m not flirting,” she subconsciously retorted. Mo Ting had almost seen through her tonight.
“You don’t have any?” Mo Ting asked with a smile.
Su Yuan’s eyes met with his bright smile, and her heart started to beat faster. In her embarrassment, she simply lowered her head and puffed up her cheeks like an ostrich.
Su Yuan’s evasive actions were so cute that Mo Ting could not help but reach out to stroke her hair. But he stopped when he reached out. His rationality told him that it was not the time yet. His little girl had yet to accept him. Such an intimate action would make her uncomfortable.
As Mo Ting thought about this, he quickly retracted his hand and continued, “In your eyes, I’m the same as those idle rich second generations who don’t do proper work. All day long, he takes money to go around eating, drinking, and having fun, indulging in luxury and doing things everywhere.”
Su Yuan rolled her eyes and closed her eyes, pretending not to hear anything.
Mo Ting continued, “After your first impression, you started to look for evidence on me. Fu Wen was like this, and so was Eve. These two things were constantly being confirmed, deepening your thoughts. It makes you think that all second-generation rich kids are bad, right?”
Su Yuan bit her lip, her expression a little ugly.
“You labeled me as a scumbag in your heart. After that, no matter what I said or did, you would think that it was a scumbag who approached you with ulterior motives. You just think that he definitely didn’t have a good heart and it must be…”
“Mo Ting, that’s enough!” Su Yuan could not take it anymore and interrupted him. At this moment, her eyes were wide open, like a fierce little tiger.
“You’re finally willing to open your eyes and look at me.” Mo Ting laughed.
The more he smiled, the angrier Su Yuan felt. The emotions that she had not even tried to dig into were spoken out just like that. It was as if she had been stripped naked in public, and a sense of shame filled her heart.
“Don’t you have anything else to do? I’m your research topic? If there’s nothing else, can you please leave?” Su Yuan smacked the cup to the ground and stood up to chase him away.
