Shen Shaolin's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised an eyebrow with a playful tone, "Whether you admit it or not, this identity has already been confirmed by both families. Are you sure you still want to make a scene with me here like this?"
"Then why are you doing this? What good does it do you?" Mo Qing bit her lip, feeling very unhappy and so angry that she wanted to breathe fire at him.
Let's just burn this shameless bastard to death. If it weren't for his nonsense, would her parents have misunderstood?
"Benefits?" Shen Shaolin put his index and middle fingers to his lips, smiled slowly, and tilted his head. "There are benefits, of course. Momo is so angry simply because of Mu Han."
His smile had the air of a cunning old fox, carrying a hint of slyness and a complex emotion that Mo Qing couldn't decipher.
"You know that, yet you still did it. Isn't that incredibly unfair?" Mo Qing took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and indirectly scolded him.
Even without Hanhan, it would have been absolutely impossible for the two of them to be together.
"Why don't you consider that maybe what I said at the dinner table just now was the truth?" Shen Shaolin raised an eyebrow, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "Perhaps if the two of us give it a try, we might actually turn this into a real relationship."
"Who would take this fake relationship seriously!" Mo Qing retorted instinctively upon hearing his words, but then she realized something was amiss and immediately became defensive, taking two steps back warily and staring at him with a furrowed brow. "You wouldn't happen to be interested in me, would you?"
"What if I really have feelings for you?" Shen Shaolin chuckled softly before slowly asking.
"Then let's cut it off, otherwise we won't be able to be friends anymore." Mo Qing's smile was pure and genuine.
Do you really think she's that easy to fool?
His eyes were full of mockery, and he didn't seem to have any feelings for her like he did.
"Do you have to be so resolute? Momo, you're easily hurting a fragile and pure heart. After all, this is the first time I've ever said something like this to a girl! Don't you really want to reconsider?" Shen Shaolin clutched his chest, pretending to be very distressed, but his eyes were full of teasing and mockery.
Mo Qing was speechless. "...No thanks, thank you for considering it." What a nutcase!
Only he could shamelessly put on such an exaggerated and clumsy performance.
Upon hearing this, Shen Shaolin's smile paused for a moment, then widened, his eyes filled with interest as he asked, "You like Mu Han that much?"
"Yes, he's the only one I'll ever love in my life," Mo Qing answered without hesitation.
"Mu Han, is he really that good? Is he worth all this?" Shen Shaolin raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance and frowning slightly, deliberately teasing her.
“His goodness,” Mo Qing smiled at him with feigned profundity, her eyes warming slightly, “you don’t understand.”
She had seen his goodness.
How could she not be moved by someone as wonderful as him!
"Hehe." Shen Shaolin chuckled twice upon hearing this. "Mo Mo, you don't need to deliberately try to provoke me. As for the reason, I will tell you the truth later. I just hope you can cooperate with me in acting for a while. I will handle the rest myself. I will definitely not let the title of Shen family's future daughter-in-law weigh on you for too long."
"Then why don't you just explain things to them now instead of deliberately using ambiguous language to make them misunderstand our relationship?" Mo Qing tilted her head in confusion.
Hmm, that's a question worth considering.
“But I don’t like to have any relationship with any man other than Hanhan! Even if Hanhan doesn’t like me now.” Mo Qing replied firmly.
"Remaining chaste for Mu Han?" Shen Shaolin raised an eyebrow, teasing her with a half-smile, but a hint of barely perceptible envy surfaced deep in his eyes. However, he hid it so well that even he himself was unaware of it…
Tsk tsk tsk, it's true that different people have different fates!
"Hmm," Mo Qing blinked, a smile playing on her lips, looking innocent and pure. "You can interpret it that way too."
“You don’t need to get worked up.” Shen Shaolin smiled enigmatically and explained, “Mo Mo, don’t worry. I admit I’m not a good person, but I would never take advantage of you. This whole thing was just an accident.”
Given his mother's attitude, even if she didn't try to match the two of them up, she would find other girls and force them on him.
So even if he escapes this time, there will be countless girls like Gao Xiaoxiao waiting for him. To be honest, he's not really interested in girls in this circle. They're either too outgoing or too naive and incredibly simple-minded.
He didn't want to end up like those wealthy families in the industry, engaging in a business marriage without any emotional foundation, which would either affect the children or lead to a complete breakup...
But he couldn't just ignore his mother, so he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
A complex emotion, unreadable to Mo Qing, settled over Shen Shaolin's eyes. His voice was faint, as if drifting from afar.
“My mother has a cerebral vascular tumor, which was diagnosed half a month ago. Although I have never been a very filial son, I still hope that she can live as long as possible. But she is so stubborn. She is afraid that once she goes into the operating room, she will never come out again. She insists that I go on blind dates. She even used the excuse that she had an acute illness and was hospitalized to trick me into coming back from the army. She threatened me that she would not have surgery until I got engaged first.”
Mo Qing was speechless for a moment. She wanted to comfort him, but as soon as she thought about how he had gotten himself into trouble, she couldn't help but get angry and didn't want to talk to him.
"Actually, her health has never been very good over the years, but I never thought it would get this bad. Although I'm a bastard, I don't want to rashly drag an innocent girl into this charade with me. Besides, as you can see, my mother likes you so much, and she was trying to set us up in the open."
