Chapter 368: Chapter 366: That Man is Too Good at Pretending_1

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but lean against the doorframe with his arms crossed, smiling as he listened to her huffy words.

"What do you want to do today?"

Su Wanxia’s mind raced. What did she want to do today?

"Hmm, let’s go see Manhui... After all, what happened last time was pretty scary..."

"Mmm..." Mu Yingchen nodded in agreement. Dragging Jian Manhui into the mess last time was indeed something he regretted.

It wasn’t until Su Wanxia had brushed and washed up that she went downstairs with Mu Yingchen.

However, recalling the conversation she and Mu Yingchen had in front of Shanshan, she felt like she had completely lost face. Fortunately, their words were cryptic enough that the little girl didn’t understand.

Su Wanxia specifically called Jian Manhui to see if she was home. When Jian Manhui received her call, her voice couldn’t help but choke up...

Apart from those present that day, such as Su Ran and others, no one knew better than her what the situation was like on the cliff. She had been incredibly worried! At the same time, she felt terribly guilty. If Shanshan hadn’t been with her, maybe those people wouldn’t have found the opportunity, and the terrifying events that followed might not have happened!

Upon arrival at Jian Manhui’s place, to their surprise, the door was opened by Su Ran...

Su Wanxia was shocked! Just how far had these two progressed? Could it be... they had already slept together?

She startled herself with that thought. Su Ran sure had a lot of charm; she couldn’t have actually won Manhui over, could she?

Seeing the continuous look of astonishment in Su Wanxia’s eyes, Jian Manhui knew she was overthinking again.

With a sigh, she pulled Su Wanxia inside and whispered, "Don’t overthink it; there’s nothing between us..."

Su Wanxia clearly didn’t believe her, pursing her lips, "Really? For real?"

"Really... There’s just a normal relationship between him and me..."

"No way..." Su Wanxia was clearly struggling to keep up. Just a moment ago, she had thought the two of them had already done that something.

"Wanxia... Seeing you guys return safely, I’m truly happy..." Jian Manhui’s tone was somewhat weathered.

"Manhui, we got you involved in the previous situation..." Su Wanxia hadn’t finished her sentence when Jian Manhui cut her off.

"What are you talking about? If Shanshan had been with you, they wouldn’t have had the opportunity. It’s my fault; my guard was down." When those two men approached her, she didn’t think much about it...

"Manhui, it’s all planned by Bai Yudie and those people. We can never be too careful. As long as they see an opportunity, they won’t give up..." Since Bai Yudie had decided to do this, she definitely wouldn’t stop easily. It was like a time bomb, destined to explode one day!

"I..." Jian Manhui felt ashamed.

"Alright, let’s stop talking about this. Mu Yingchen and I are getting married, and you must be my bridesmaid!" Su Wanxia announced cheerfully.

Upon hearing her words, Jian Manhui’s lips curled into a smile: "Yeah, Su... oh, someone already told me about it, congratulations to you both..."

"Who is ’someone’?" Su Wanxia teased, knowing full well she was talking about Su Ran, yet she insisted on making Jian Manhui uncomfortable.

"Someone is someone..." Jian Manhui shrugged.

"What? You don’t like Su Ran?" Su Wanxia cast a glance at the people sitting in the direction of the living room and quietly asked Jian Manhui.

Jian Manhui was suddenly caught off guard by Su Wanxia’s question, wrestling with her feelings for a brief moment.

Her gaze couldn’t help but drift toward the distant horizon of the viewing platform...

"I don’t know..." She really didn’t know, didn’t understand what she felt for Su Ran. She always felt that whenever she saw him, she didn’t want to deal with him, yet when he was out of sight, she found herself somewhat hoping he would appear before her. This contradiction within herself was driving her crazy!

Su Wanxia hadn’t expected Jian Manhui to say such a thing and was immediately surprised, her eyes widening before she leaned in closer.

"Manhui... I’m certain, you’ve fallen for him..." If it had been the old her, she would have denied such a claim outright, but this time, she could only respond with "I don’t know." Not knowing meant there was some affection. She just hadn’t come to understand her own heart yet, especially since it was her first time liking someone, the feeling was indeed unfamiliar and contradictory.

A flutter went through Jian Manhui’s heart. Fallen for him? Was that really the case?

"But I feel like he and I aren’t suitable..."

After truly seeing his nature, she felt that they were worlds apart. She seemed to not understand his world at all, not knowing what kind of person he really was, nor his habits, or even the way he conducted himself.

"Why do you say that?" Su Wanxia was puzzled.

They hadn’t even started. How could she know they weren’t suitable?

"I just can’t figure him out..." Jian Manhui said in distress.

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh—Manhui really was taking this to heart this time...

"What’s there to understand at the beginning? Besides, you haven’t even started yet. Don’t worry, if you truly like him, just accept him. That’s the only way you might come to understand each other more closely..."

Jian Manhui looked at her skeptically—

"When do you think I really started to understand Mu Yingchen?" Su Wanxia asked, squinting her eyes.

Jian Manhui raised an eyebrow: "Hmm... after going out with him for a year?" By then, they should have been dating for two years at school, and a year is roughly enough time to fully understand someone.

Yet Su Wanxia shook her finger in front of her: "NO, NO, I started to truly understand him only after I came back from England..."

"No way?" Jian Manhui was somewhat incredulous. Weren’t the two of them always together at school back then, for two years?

"That’s how it is!" Su Wanxia nodded with folded arms and then sighed inwardly to herself, only being able to blame Mu Yingchen for being such a great pretender, completely fooling her, a young girl.

"I feel Mu Yingchen hasn’t changed much from before, only now, he loves you even more..."

Upon hearing Jian Manhui’s words, Su Wanxia wiped away a tear of heartache internally. Look how well Mu Yingchen could pretend, even Manhui thought he was still the same cold and aloof man as before...

Ah, forget it, no point in talking about it. They wouldn’t believe it anyway.

Feeling sentimental, she patted Jian Manhui’s shoulder, "You’ll understand eventually..."

Her words only made Jian Manhui more confused.

"Is Mu Yingchen not good to you?" She felt that Mu Yingchen was nearly spoiling her to the skies.

Su Wanxia chuckled and nodded, "Good, he’s pretty good to me..."

"Not just pretty good, he’s extremely good to you..." Jian Manhui looked at her with exasperation.

Some people just don’t know how blessed they are. Does she not realize how many women are eying Mu Yingchen from behind, waiting for their chance?
