“Like? People like me will never really like anyone, including Miss Mo. All I want is the thrill of conquest and the sense of achievement from plundering.” Liu Xiaosheng was really a very annoying person, but fortunately, he still had a bit of humanity.

He smiled bitterly and said, “When I was chasing her, I disdained her. I thought that it was only a matter of time before I completely stripped her of her reservedness. Now, I am amazed. It turns out there is such a simple girl in this world. I don’t deserve a girl like her.”

I didn’t know what Shu Tong would think if she heard Liu Xiaosheng’s words, but at least I felt that Liu Xiaosheng was finally right this time. He really didn’t deserve Shu Tong…

…

“Chu Nan, earlier you told Liu Xiaosheng that bringing me to the hospital to visit him was to express your position as a man. What do you mean by that?”

I knew Mo Fei would definitely ask this. This woman deliberately took off her sunglasses so I could clearly see the infinite anticipation in her big winking eyes.

“Men are both competitive and vain, don’t tell me that you don’t understand this. Since you are here anyway, why don’t I take the opportunity to brag about it? You think I’m really generous and don’t hold any grudge against Liu Xiaosheng at all?”

Mo Fei pouted her lips and said in a dissatisfied tone, “You said that just to make him angry?”

“Otherwise? What do you think the reason was?” I wanted to stop Mo Fei’s wild imagination, so I said, “It’s not like we are really in that kind of relationship.”

Mo Fei was annoyed at how dense I was. She pinched my arm hard and said, “Don’t try to fool me! Men are indeed vain, but being rejected by a woman is more shameful than losing to another man, right? Chu Nan, I really don’t know what to say about you. Liu Xiaosheng wanted to harm you, but why do you care about his feelings? ‘Make him angry?’ You’re just sympathizing with him!”

“Sympathize with him? I’m not that great. If you keep flattering me, I’ll blush.” I laughed. “Liu Xiaosheng is Xingyu’s elder brother after all, and he has already become like this. No matter how much I hate him, what do you want me to do to him? Besides, even if I wanted to get even with him now, I still couldn’t bring myself to kick a man when he’s down. So it is better to put on a good-hearted attitude. My old man has never taught me to repay grievances with virtue, but he also never taught me the doctrine of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

“You all think I’m being kind, thinking about his feelings all the time, but do you think that a smart man like Liu Xiaosheng won’t be able to know it? For an arrogant man like him, there is nothing that makes him more uncomfortable than him owing me. If he knew that I was angry because I couldn’t let go of the grudge, it would only make him happy… I am a typical person who has gained an advantage from other people but pretends otherwise. While gaining a good reputation, I also made my enemy feel uncomfortable to the greatest extent possible.”

“Oh?” Mo Fei smiled and said, “You admit that Liu Xiaosheng is an enemy? What kind of enemy?”

“Ahem…” I almost choked. The way this woman changed the topic was too quick. “I almost died in his hand, so of course, he is my enemy.”

Mo Fei pointed at her chin with her index finger and pretended to be puzzled. “But you have no grievances with him in the past, why did he want to hurt you?”

I pretended to focus on driving and said, “Maybe because of me, he was dumped by Shu Tong…”

“Chu Nan!” Mo Fei finally couldn’t take it anymore, and said angrily, “Is it that hard to admit that you like me?! Do you dare to swear to God that the reason why you dislike Liu Xiaosheng has nothing to do with me?”

Mo Fei spent so much effort beating around the bush just to have me admit that Liu Xiaosheng and I were rivals in love… However, what she didn’t seem to understand was—it was exactly because it was related to her that I couldn’t admit it.

…

“Ms. Mo, you came back just in time. Captain Lin from the city police department made a special trip here to apologize for what happened yesterday. He’s currently in the reception room. Secretary Long said that she will leave this matter entirely to you to handle…”

“Whoever caused it needs to handle it! It’s not my problem!” Mo Fei completely ignored Ziyuan who was approaching and walked into her office without even turning her head. The noise she made when she slammed the door shut was so loud that it startled Song Jia.

Ziyuan couldn’t help but wonder why Mo Fei was so angry, but Song Jia already had a clue. She sneaked near me, and smiled ambiguously. “Elder Brother Nan, what did you do to Ms. Mo that made her so angry again?”

I could help smiling bitterly. “What do you mean again? Are you implying that I make her angry very often?”

The reason why Mo Fei was angry was very simple. It was because I didn’t want to swear to God…

“Yes, you do.” Song Jia said angrily, “Haven’t you heard of the saying that a female secretary is her boss’ confidant? Others may not know about the matters between you and Ms. Mo, but you think I wouldn’t know?”

“What do you know…” I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Also, that saying mostly refers to male bosses, and it’s not referring to something good.”

“What are you thinking. What I mean is that I know everything about Ms. Mo,” Song Jia said seethingly, “including yesterday, you two were being lovey-dovey in the office and Ms. Mo was sitting on your lap, and you also… uh—”

Before she could finish speaking, I hurriedly covered her mouth. Feeling extremely nervous, I turned to look at Ziyuan, only to find that she was shocked…

As Fengchang’s most well-known gossiper, Song Jia truly deserved her name. I suppressed my voice and smiled angrily while gritting my teeth. “Little Sister Song Jia, you are really audacious. You even dare to peek inside the office …”

“If you didn’t do anything wrong, why are you afraid of me looking inside?” Song Jia was not afraid of my threat at all. She also suppressed her voice and said with a blushing face, “I didn’t expect the cold and indifferent Ms. Mo would be so passionate in private…”

I felt extremely embarrassed for myself and for Mo Fei. I never expected that when Mo Fei was acting coquettishly in front of me, her action would be discovered by Song Jia.

“I’m not afraid of anything. I’m just wondering how you saw it.” I remembered clearly that Mo Fei had closed the door and drawn the curtain yesterday. Unless Song Jia was a gecko that could climb up twenty-seven floors and look in through the windows from outside the building.

Song Jia said triumphantly, “I have my ways. I have long thought that there’s something going on between you and Ms. Mo, but I didn’t expect you two really… Chu Nan, you are really a player. I couldn’t believe I used to think that you were a simple and honest man. I even listed you as my number one boyfriend candidate, and wanted to compete with Liusu.

“Fortunately, I didn’t rush to make up my mind, otherwise I would have fallen into your hands already. But I have to say that you are a really good player. Liusu and Ms. Mo have such different personalities, but you can actually make them live in harmony. Should I call you ‘Master Player’ from now on? No wonder even though Liusu disliked Ms. Mo so much in the past, she can go in and out of her office a lot these days.”

Liusu has been frequently going in and out of Mo Fei’s office? No way…

Although the two indeed seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, at most they would no longer argue with each other directly and caused me to be in a dilemma. It was also for this reason that they no longer hid their dislike towards each other. The best proof of this was that the two always gave each other a cold face as soon as they met. Otherwise there wouldn’t have been so many rumors about me being a two-timer…

“Master Player, this name fits him very well.” Ziyuan giggled.

The feeling of trepidation suddenly appeared within me. “Ziyuan, some things are not as you imagined…”

“Really?” Ziyuan still smiled indifferently. “Captain Lin is still waiting in the reception room, you should hurry up and go to meet him. By the way, I need to remind you—you’d better think of a reasonable explanation. Officer Dong is also in the reception room and is being scolded by Captain Lin because she failed to keep eyes on you and let you slip under her nose again.”

I couldn’t help but shiver all over, not because I was worried about what Dong Xiaoye would do to me, but because of Ziyuan’s current attitude; it was very scary. “Uh, Ziyuan…”

I grabbed her arm subconsciously, stopping her when she wanted to turn around and leave. She turned her head with an innocent look and smiled sweetly. “Is there anything else?”

“N… no…” In the end, I gave up explaining it because there was no way to explain it. After all, Song Jia saw it with her own eyes. Moreover, Ziyuan’s smiling eyes seeped a deep resentment, and that resentment clearly conveyed a message to me that if I stopped her again, she would really ask me in front of other people what was going on between me and Mo Fei.
