Gu Wenjuan lifted her eyes and saw the faint smile on Mo Shu Qianqian’s lips, and she inexplicably felt much more at peace inside.
This person, Mo Shu, despite how terribly and wickedly people spoke of her outside,
every time Wenjuan saw her smile at herself, she couldn’t help but let her guard down.
Bowing her head slightly, Gu Wenjuan clasped her hands and nervously picked at her nails, saying, "You mentioned this matter last time as well. You said that I used to know Young Master Yu, but I’ve been thinking that maybe you remembered wrong. I’ve thought about it for a long time and I don’t remember such a person at all."
Mo Shu dipped some iodine and wiped it on her face, causing Gu Wenjuan to inhale sharply, flinching. Follow current novᴇls on NovelHub(.)net
"It’s okay if you don’t remember; what’s important is that Yu Siqiao remembers," Mo Shu said while dabbing at her face, "You can ask him."
Gu Wenjuan’s voice was very low, "If I dared to ask, I would have asked long ago."
Mo Shu chuckled lightly, "What’s there to fear? He likes you so much; he wouldn’t do anything to you."
Wenjuan’s heart fluttered for a moment, "He..."
How could that be possible...
"If he didn’t like you, how could he give you so many things, and if he didn’t like you, why would he treat you so specially," there was a momentary dimness in Mo Shu’s gaze, "You must have heard the rumors about Yu Siqiao."
Wenjuan hastened to say, "Yes, everyone says that Young Master Yu is quite arrogant, high and mighty, never likes to waste words with others, and is very rude to everyone. He’s made many enemies among his peers, and he really hates it when girls get close to him... especially..."
"Especially me," Mo Shu seemed not to mind at all, "Right?"
Wenjuan gave an awkward smile.
Initially, she thought it must have been an exaggeration by others; after all, Princess Mo was so beautiful, so dignified, and the look in the boys’ eyes every time they mentioned Mo Shu was filled with infatuation and admiration.
Even if Young Master Yu didn’t like her, he couldn’t possibly hate her that much.
But today, at the dinner table, the words Yu Siqiao said in public were... simply too hurtful!
Upon reflection, though Young Master Yu hadn’t been too close to her, he had at least never spoken to her harshly.
"He has disliked me not for one or two days. He’s only willing to talk to me now because I’m carrying his child. If not for this child, he probably wouldn’t even give me a glance," Mo Shu put down the cotton ball, "And you effortlessly got what I’ve been unable to obtain. Yu Siqiao likes you, so he is willing to give you anything. As for me, I can only keep him by my side because of the child."
Wenjuan felt that Mo Shu was pitiable, but she couldn’t help feeling a tinge of joy in her heart. However, she wasn’t deluded by Mo Shu’s words and said with low self-esteem, "What kind of person is Young Master Yu... how could he possibly like someone like me..."
"Princess, Young Master Yu is here," Ji Nan’s voice sounded behind Mo Shu.
Gu Wenjuan, sitting face-to-face with Mo Shu, merely had to lift her eyes to see behind her.
Indeed, Yu Siqiao was heading their way.
Without turning her head, Mo Shu looked at Gu Wenjuan and said, "You don’t believe he likes you?"
Gu Wenjuan’s face flushed slightly, but she also shook her head, lowering it to gaze at her fingers.
Above her head, the voice rang out again, "Then let me prove it to you."
Before Gu Wenjuan could react, she felt her chair lighten, and the sensation of losing weight ensued. Wenjuan, chair and all, plunged harshly into the sea.
Gu Wenjuan couldn’t believe it as she opened her eyes wide. The sea water rushed into her mouth and nose without warning, and she instinctively began to flounder, "Help..."
