He replied, "No, I just think that a girl like Miss Mo, who is just as capable as any man, shouldn't be scared by such trivial matters!"
"So, those guys who ambushed me in Yunnan last time were your men!"
Her statement was a declarative sentence, not even a question, because he already knew the outcome, but just wanted to see her reaction!
"Oh?" the man asked, slightly surprised. "I didn't know that Miss Mo was ambushed in Yunnan!"
But in reality, his words lacked sincerity, and his acting was even somewhat exaggerated, making it difficult for her to pretend she didn't sense anything...
Mo Xiaoqing's large, expressive eyes darted around, and she asked in a soft, sweet voice, enunciating each word clearly, "You don't seem surprised at all?"
The man smirked. "How could that be? Haven't I made it obvious enough?"
Mo Xiaoqing shrugged innocently, her smile sweet and soft, "No, you did express the word 'surprise,' but your performance wasn't very good; it was a bit exaggerated!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, the man laughed without getting annoyed.
He chuckled, "I thought I'd made it obvious enough!"
"Do you really think your performance can fool yourself?"
Mo Xiaoqing paused for a moment, but ultimately couldn't overcome her own inner struggle and asked the question honestly.
"Indeed, as you can see, I am not an actor, and I can't do acting!"
"It's not a matter of whether you can do it or not, but that you're not sincere at all. You're not worried that I'll guess what happened in Yunnan, or that you're the mastermind behind it all. Naturally, your attitude has become very perfunctory!"
The man made no attempt to hide his admiration for Mo Xiaoqing, clapping his hands loudly.
In such a dimly lit room, Mo Xiaoqing couldn't see the man's features clearly at all!
There had been a sliver of light before, which might have been enough to make out the man's features, but after he deliberately drew all the curtains in the room…
Not only could she not see the man's face clearly, but she even had difficulty seeing the scenery outside from inside the room!
She was no different from a blind person now, completely unable to guess whether she was still at the beach or somewhere else.
His eyes lit up noticeably. "Miss Mo, this is exactly what I wanted!"
Mo Xiaoqing blinked her large, clear eyes innocently, "Oh, really? That's such a shame, because you don't suit my taste at all!"
Although she said the word "regret," there was not a trace of regret on her face. Instead, she had a bright and carefree smile.
The man smiled knowingly and said slowly, "But I don't feel regret at all. If Miss Mo tries to get to know me better, you might find that we are quite compatible!"
Mo Xiaoqing felt like she had punched cotton, which was particularly weak.
It seems that no matter what she says, the man can always find something to shut her up.
She said expressionlessly and insincerely, "...Thank you, but no thanks!"
She had absolutely no desire to try to understand him!
"I think Miss Mo, you shouldn't dismiss me so soon. It's unfair to completely deny me or even sentence me to death before we've gotten to know each other."
"..." You're a lunatic!
Who wants to spend time with him, to get to know him? Let them.
Anyway, she wasn't happy.
She felt that having to spend every day in the same space as a venomous snake would eventually drive her crazy.
"To be honest, I'm really interested in Miss Mo, your personality, everything about you. I even have a feeling that you were born for my sake. We are so compatible and have such a good understanding, we should be together!"
Mo Xiaoqing listened to his self-talk and remained silent for a long time. She felt speechless, or perhaps she was speechless at the man in front of her!
...Get out!
What does it mean to say that one's own birth was for the sake of another's existence?
If Mo Xiaoqing were to say she was crazy, she would say she had a high opinion of herself but was completely unaware that in other people's eyes, she was already seen as a madman!
Mo Xiaoqing replied very sincerely and seriously, "No, you are so outstanding and excellent, I feel that I am not good enough for you, so... let's forget about it!"
But in reality, she really wanted to swear!
If it weren't for her being held captive by this man, she would definitely want to give him a good punch!
She has never belittled herself like this before, she's almost reduced herself to dust!
The man in front of her kept looking at Mo Xiaoqing with an air of self-satisfaction, completely oblivious to the excuses in his words, giving her a sinister feeling as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake.
"No, Miss Mo, you are being too modest. You have no idea how outstanding and excellent you are in other people's eyes. We are a match made in heaven. What's wrong with going with the flow?"
"Besides, there's absolutely no one in this world who understands you better than me!"
Then, as Mo Xiaoqing witnessed, a Blu-ray player was projected onto a wall, and the entire wall was covered with her photos, some of her laughing, some of her sitting under a banyan tree holding a book with the sunlight shining on her face.
