"Before I say anything, I want to tell you that actually meeting you was really an accident,"
Xia Pu listened, quite bewildered. She nodded, "I know, why do you mention this?"
"Because Hua Ling’s friend is me!"
Mo Jun embarrassingly admitted, "At first, I didn’t know that the person Hua Ling wanted to introduce me to was you. I’d met your husband once before, so I knew your husband was that Pei Shao.
Later, in the L Family’s exclusive store, I found out that you were the one he was bringing me to meet, because Hua Ling never mentioned your name, so I only realized then.
Xiaopu, I just want to say that I didn’t approach you with any ulterior motive. In fact, I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I wasn’t even going to mention it, but Hua Ling is coming, and I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea..."
Xia Pu broke into laughter, "Is this what you’re worried about?"
"Yes!" Mo Jun nodded, "Xiaopu, do you believe me? I really don’t have any other intentions."
"I know, I can feel it," Xia Pu said with a light smile, "And I’m very aware of Hua Ling’s character. Since you’re his friend, I’m sure there’s no problem. Besides, I also consider you a friend, which makes it even less of an issue. Don’t worry, I trust my own judgment."
Mo Jun was very touched, "Xiaopu, thank you! As long as you don’t misunderstand me, that’s all that matters."
"What’s there to thank me for? It would be wrong of me to misunderstand you. Even if you did have an ulterior motive, it’s not like I have lost anything. I know why Hua Ling sought me out, and it’s what we agreed on from the start. The Hua Family has the capability, and I wouldn’t purposely go easy, so you have nothing to worry about."
"That’s a relief!" Mo Jun finally felt at ease, "Shall we give Hua Ling a surprise then?"
"Sure!" Xia Pu was also in high spirits.
So the two conspired together, planning to tease Hua Ling.
Hua Ling arrived quickly, and as soon as he got to the hotel, he immediately called Mo Jun.
"Sis, have you arrived? I’m here already!"
"I’ll be another while, you go ahead, and I’ll find you in a bit."
"Alright, call me when you get here."
After hanging up, Hua Ling went to find Xia Pu. To avoid any suspicion, he intentionally brought a female attendant with him. He quickly found the room number and pressed the doorbell.
Xia Pu opened the door, and Hua Ling was delighted to see her, "Sister Yu, long time no see!"
Xia Pu also smiled, "Long time no see? Where’s your friend?"
"She said she’ll be arriving in a bit. Sister Yu, may I bring a waitress inside to wait with us first? My friend is a woman, too; once she arrives, we can ask the waitress to leave. Otherwise, I’ll head down to the café and won’t come in," Hua Ling said considerately.
Xia Pu hesitated, then ambiguously said, "Actually, that might not be necessary, I have a friend inside?"
"Is it that friend of yours from the magazine?" Hua Ling curiously stepped inside. As he peeked in, he saw someone lying on the bed.
And on the carpet, some men’s clothes were thrown about in disarray!
Hua Ling was instantly dumbfounded!
What the hell is going on?!
Xia Pu also stammered, "Hua Ling, actually, actually..."
"Sister Yu, your friend is a man?" Hua Ling asked incredulously.
"Um... but actually, there’s nothing between us. He just said he had a headache and insisted on resting here for a while, so please don’t get the wrong idea..."
