Mu Yiran didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Li Buhuo, are you really Li Buhuo?"
Li Bu Huo crossed his arms. "What do you mean?"
Mu Yiran looked at him without saying a word.
At first, Mu Yiran did have doubts that Li Bu Huo was not just the original owner's lover. She was wary of Li Bu Huo, but when she was close to Yu, this person did help her.
The reason she lowered her guard against Li Bu Huo was because of Shi You Xi's attitude towards Li Bu Huo. Shi You Xi had been watching her so closely these past two days; if he didn't trust her, he wouldn't have let Li Bu Huo drive.
But the reason that made her most suspicious of Li Bu Huo's identity...
Mu Yiran opened a photo from the hidden album on her new phone. She held the phone up, and Li Buhuo immediately saw the group photo on it.
“I’ve been wondering why there’s a boy in this photo besides my mom and me. At first, I thought he was a neighbor’s kid or a classmate, but he looks much older than me. He appears not only in the photo, but also in my mom’s diary.”
Mu Yiran put away her phone and looked at Li Buhuo. "I sent someone to investigate. This boy was a child from the orphanage next to my house. His name was also Li Buhuo."
Mu Yiran looked directly at him. "Is it you? Or is it just a coincidence that we have the same name?"
"..."
Almost everything she said was false. Mu Yiran only found out that the boy came from an orphanage, but there was no record of his surname or given name.
She's just gambling.
Li Bu Huo pondered for a long time, then gazed quietly at Mu Yi Ran before finally shrugging and saying, "If you say so, then so be it."
"..."
You made the right bet.
Mu Yiran nodded directly, "Then you are."
She didn't ask Li Buhuo why he approached her as her lover, nor did she ask what his purpose was. As long as he was someone who stood by Cheng Ran's side and wouldn't betray her, that was enough.
Now that their relationship has evolved into a deep bond like that of childhood sweethearts, Li Bu Huo shouldn't harm her.
Li Bu Huo chuckled and said, "You only came to me for this?"
"I thought Mr. Cheng had turned over a new leaf and decided to work seriously."
“Who says otherwise!” Mu Yiran stopped him, wrinkled her nose, and whispered, “I have to go on a business trip next month.”
Li Bu Huo frowned: "Business trip?"
...
In the conference room of Jingyi Teaching Building, Shi Youxi sat behind the conference table. After the teachers opposite her finished scoring, the white-haired man in the center smiled at Shi Youxi and said, "Xi, we are very satisfied with your abilities and believe that you will definitely pass the exam. But I have a question for you."
"Professor, please go ahead."
“I was surprised that your previous major was psychology, because your father graduated with a degree in financial management.”
The man waved his hand and explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just met with your father recently, and he said that you would also choose financial management."
The boy slightly raised his eyelids and said without hesitation, "I'm sorry, but I've already made up my mind."
"..."
Guan Shiyan leaned against the wall, looking at the data report on his phone. Suddenly, the reflective phone screen went completely dark.
"What are you doing, senior?"
Guan Shiyan looked up from the lock screen and saw Bai Yuning standing in front of him, dressed in a dance costume. He glanced at the conference room at the far end; the door was locked, and the interviews inside were still ongoing.
"Sunbathing."
Bai Yuning wore exquisite eye makeup. She had just finished rehearsing and, having heard that Shi Youxi had an interview, came here specifically to wait for him.
"Why are you lying to me, senior? You were clearly playing on your phone. It's so cold today, where did the sun come from?" Bai Yuning raised the back of her hand and chuckled, subtly puffing out her chest to show off her figure. She had developed earlier than her peers and had a shapely figure.
A hint of disdain flashed in Guan Shiyan's eyes behind his glasses. "Is that so? Then stay away from me. Medically speaking, coldness is contagious. I'm drawn to the sunshine; don't you dare pollute my yang energy."
Bai Yuning: "..."
Turn your heart to the sun, do you think you're some kind of sunflower spirit?
After being humiliated by Guan Shiyan twice in a row, Bai Yuning completely lost the desire to seduce him, since he wasn't her target anyway.
"Click—"
The heavy doors of the conference hall were pushed open, and ten students walked out one after another. Shi Youxi stood out among the group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old students.
"Young Master, are you alright? Shall we go back?" Guan Shiyan glanced at the location app on Shi Youxi's phone. He tapped the red dot with his index finger, and a screen flashed, displaying a woman's figure. Guan Shiyan frowned: "You..."
"Senior!" Bai Yuning was finally able to wait for Shi Youxi to come out. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't cold with her bare legs, but when Youxi's gaze swept over her legs, Bai Yuning felt a sudden surge of joy.
She took a few more steps forward and reached out to touch Shi Youxi's arm. "I've been waiting for you for so long, I'm freezing! Senior, can I borrow your coat...?"
Shi Youxi's mind was filled with her sister's legs. Compared to her skinny, bamboo-like legs, hers were fleshy and curvy. She also loved wearing short skirts... Luckily, she bought her long pants today.
A strange, pungent smell of dust assaulted her nostrils. Shi Youxi instinctively took a step back and pulled Guan Shiyan, who had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines, to her front.
Guan Shiyan was so shocked that he developed a double chin. "Holy crap, Shi Youxi, you son of a bitch—"
Shi Youxi's remaining conscience made him tug at Guan Shiyan's collar, and the two of them distanced themselves from Bai Yuning.
Other students who had already walked away turned to look at them when they heard the commotion. The school's most beautiful girl and most handsome boy had gathered together. The whole school knew about Bai Yuning and Shi Youxi's rumored relationship. Everyone was very curious. Even if they couldn't hear what was going on, they all stopped to watch.
Losing face in front of so many people, especially with Shi Youxi, Bai Yuning was filled with anxiety. Surely no one saw clearly just now... If word got out that she orchestrated everything herself, and that Shi Youxi wasn't actually that familiar with her, how could she possibly stay in Jingyi afterward?
"Pfft, hahaha, oh dear, Shi Youxi, so this is your true colors?"
A hand landed on Bai Yuning's shoulder, and she froze. Turning her head, she saw Mo Yifan, the young master of Mo Sheng Film Industry, who had walked up to her without her noticing. He was 18 years old this year and, like Shi Youxi, had participated in Lu Keli's independent enrollment exam.
Mo Yifan liked Bai Yuning, and Bai Yuning had always known this, but she looked down on this playboy from the Mo family.
But... a glimmer of light flashed in Bai Yuning's eyes, her stiff, pale face began to turn red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Senior...you must have misunderstood something. I've always liked you."
Shi Youxi: "..."
Guan Shiyan: Wuhu, what a show this is!
He felt that Bai Yuning should have followed Mo Yifan into the entertainment industry. With her superb acting skills, she could get into character so easily. Wouldn't it have been better for her to become a movie queen? Why did she have to fall for Shi Youxi?
Is his brother so easy to win over?
