"That's not the case."
Ayi waved her hand, "I just think Brother Si is a good person and you two are a good match, so I wanted to play matchmaker for you."
Shu Mowan smiled at her, "Ayi, I seem to remember that not long ago, you were the most sarcastic and unfriendly towards him."
It's only been a short time, and you already think she and Si Tingyu are a good match?
"Hey, times have changed."
Ayi didn't take it seriously. "He was already being a manly man by pouring himself a drink as punishment, and he risked his life to protect you. If I were to still hold onto the matter of him breaking off the engagement, it would be too unreasonable of me. I'm not that kind of person."
Shu Mowan remained silent.
She believed that Si Tingyu was indeed someone who could easily make people lower their guard and become like brothers with him.
"Little Wanwan, what do you think? Would you like to consider him?"
Ah Yi wasn't giving up, and brought the topic back to this again.
Shu Mowan looked at her helplessly, "Ayi, I'm only twenty years old."
The implication is that she is still young.
"What's wrong with that? There's no rule that says you can't date at twenty, and besides, you're old enough to get a marriage certificate at that age."
Ayi didn't take it seriously, "Besides, it's just about letting you date, not getting married. If you feel it's not right for you, you can break up."
That's her view on love: if it's a good match, date; if it's not, break up. There's no need to waste time on an unsuitable relationship.
Shu Mowan pinched the bridge of her nose. "Ayi, you know I have no interest in romance."
Perhaps because she hasn't figured it out yet, she feels that dating will only slow down her earning speed, and she also has to spend time and effort to coax men, which is too troublesome.
Despite Ah Yi's many words, Shu Mowan remained unmoved, so she could only apologize to Si Tingyu.
"Forget it, if I don't want to be in a relationship, then I won't be. Let Brother Si pursue me properly, that's fine too."
Ayi said.
Shu Mowan didn't say anything.
It's his business if Si Tingyu wants to pursue her; all she needs to do is stay true to herself, avoid ambiguity, refrain from misbehaving, and not give him any opportunities.
The "three no's" principle should scare people away.
"Mo Wan, have a taste."
Si Tingyu brought over a plate of barbecue and handed it to Shu Mowan.
Ayi and the other girls sitting on the folding chairs got up and made excuses to disperse.
They didn't want to be third wheels.
Shu Mowan took a skewer of chicken wings, thanked her, and then opened her mouth to taste it.
Si Tingyu's cooking skills are still at the same level as they were at the grand restaurant last time.
"It's delicious."
She complimented him, then picked up a skewer of chicken wings and gave it to Si Tingyu, saying, "You should have some too."
Si Tingyu sat down on the chair next to him.
"Mo Wan, you don't have to be so polite to me."
He took a bite of a chicken wing and said to Shu Mowan, "Even if we don't end up together, you can still treat me like an older brother."
The Shu and Si families are old friends, and Shu Mowan can treat him like an older brother.
"good."
Shu Mowan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to ask you, my elder brother from a prominent family, to take good care of me from now on."
She defined her relationship with Si Tingyu as that of siblings who were family friends.
Since they are siblings, there is no possibility of anything further.
Si Tingyu wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the hidden meaning in her words.
"Mo Wan, I'd rather be your brother in a romantic relationship than a brother from a prominent family."
He looked at Shu Mowan and said bluntly.
This means that he wants to be both a respected elder brother and a romantic lover, without neglecting either.
Shu Mowan paused in her eating of the chicken wing, and said jokingly, "Brother Si, aren't you afraid of ending up with nothing because you're so greedy?"
"How will you know it's a lose-lose situation if you don't try?"
In Si Tingyu's dictionary, there is no such thing as giving up without trying. "What if I end up with a huge success?"
Shu Mowan just smiled.
After finishing her chicken wings, she said to Si Tingyu, "Brother Si, I have an audition tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep now. Please finish the rest."
"Um."
Si Tingyu knew she was avoiding him, but he didn't force her to stay.
"Brother Si, it seems like it won't be easy for you to win over Xiao Wanwan."
Ayi walked over and teased with a smile, "But then again, it's no wonder Xiao Wanwan is so easy to win over, it's a mystery..."
"Cough cough..."
Someone coughed loudly.
Ayi realized she had let something slip and cheerfully changed the subject, "Brother Si, my little Wanwan has a lot of suitors, but no one has won her over yet, so you should try harder."
After saying that, she went to eat barbecue.
As for any heavenly secrets, she never mentioned them.
Si Tingyu pondered the words "heavenly secrets" in his mind, secretly wondering if she meant the Heavenly Secrets Alliance.
The Si family has extensive connections and knows many people, so they naturally know about the existence of the Heavenly Secrets Alliance.
Could it be that Mo Wan has some connection with the Tianji Alliance?
He frowned, not really wanting her to get close to the Heavenly Secrets Alliance. After all, this organization would sell any kind of intelligence for money, and they also did a lot of shady business in private.
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." He was worried that Mo Wan might be associated with this kind of organization and might go astray one day.
No, he needs to find out.
Si Tingyu suddenly stood up and walked to A Yi and her group.
"Ayi, were you just about to mention the Heavenly Secrets Alliance?"
He asked the question directly.
As soon as she finished speaking, A-Yi was bombarded with several stares.
Neither the Heavenly Secrets Alliance nor the Heavenly Glory Alliance can discuss this with outsiders.
"Huh? What Heavenly Secrets Alliance?"
Ayi looked at Si Tingyu, feigning ignorance, "Is this a fortune-telling alliance? Is it accurate?"
Seeing her like this, Si Tingyu knew she wouldn't tell the truth.
"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'll find a chance to ask Mo Wan."
He said.
Ayi didn't take it seriously: "Then go ask."
Xiao Wanwan would never utter a single word about the Heavenly Secrets Alliance to outsiders.
Si Tingyu gave her a deep look and said nothing more.
Once he gets to know Shu Mowan better, he should be able to find out more about the Heavenly Secrets Alliance.
He wasn't trying to interfere with her social circle, but rather that young girls like her should avoid associating with organizations like the Heavenly Secrets Alliance.
After finishing the barbecue, everyone said goodnight to Si Tingyu and went to sleep.
As for the mess of cups and plates on the deck, someone will naturally clean it up.
The next day, someone delivered a business suit to Shu Mowan, along with a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
After changing into the new outfit, she tied her long, curly hair into a high ponytail.
She looks like a career woman.
As always, Si Tingyu was impeccably dressed in a suit. Looking at her attire, he asked curiously, "Why are you dressed like this?"
It's not that it doesn't look good, it's just that twenty-year-old girls prefer youthful and pretty outfits, while her outfit is more mature and makes her look younger.
Shu Mowan raised her hand and touched her face. "If I dress more maturely, people won't notice me."
She blends in with the crowd, making it easier for her to observe people's character.
Si Tingyu was a little itchy to get closer to her because of her unaware beauty.
"Mo Wan, can I pinch your cheek?"
He boldly stated.
Shu Mowan looked at him calmly, and asked with a half-smile, "Brother Si, what do you think?"
