Nian Xiaomu said, “Wait, no. Why did Mo Yongheng remain silent if he really likes Zheng Yan? If he is a true man, he should go ahead and woo her confidently. He’s behaving so sneakily; isn’t he afraid that Zheng Yan will ignore him?”
“In that case, we need to see what you have done that leads to Mo Yongheng’s misunderstanding. For example, Fan Yu.” As Yu Yuehan leaned against the back of his chair slightly, he propped his head with his hand and said with raised eyebrows.
Nian Xiaomu stared at him in confusion.
With a pair of enlarged eyes, Nian Xiaomu asked, “Do you mean that Mo Yongheng had misunderstood Zheng Yan and thought that she has special feelings for Fan Yu? And that he is worried that their friends.h.i.+p would be broken if his confession failed, hence he is using such a method to probe her feelings toward him?”
“The more he cared, the more careful he would be. I can understand the rationale behind Mo Yongheng’s actions.” Yu Yuehan said as a matter of fact.
Nian Xiaomu was so shocked that she took a deep breath.
She had always been very proactive in being a matchmaker, hoping to introduce a good partner to Zheng Yan. However, it had never crossed her mind that she would ruin a potential relations.h.i.+p despite her good intentions!
“I thought about it carefully and it is true that Zheng Yan had been treating Mo Yongheng really well lately, and she had also been talking about him pretty frequently. Now that you mentioned it, I suddenly feel that Zheng Yan does not seem to be treating Mo Yongheng merely as a friend either!”
Nian Xiaomu exclaimed.
She was so preoccupied with thinking about how wasteful it was for Zheng Yan and Fan Yu’s failed matchmaking attempt, that she had neglected the possibility of Zheng Yan already having a sweetheart.
Zheng Yan might look like a delicate devil on the outside, but she was, in fact, someone with a loud character; perhaps, even she herself might not have realized that she was treating Mo Yongheng a little differently from everyone else.
Mo Yongheng must have felt this difference in treatment as well but was at the same time unsure of it. As such, he agitated her with the topic of marriage on purpose.
She would have taken some action if she really fancied Mo Yongheng…
Sneaky, sneaky!
“But I am still very p*ssed! Isn’t Mo Yongheng afraid that Zheng Yan might be slow in her reactions and take a while to realize? Would he really marry me then?” Nian Xiaomu exclaimed angrily.
“He would not.” When Yu Yuehan saw her puffed up cheeks, he reached his hands out to poke them and replied calmly.
“How do you know?” Man, why does he know everything?
All of a sudden, Nian Xiaomu realized that compared to Mo Yongheng’s sneakiness, the man before him was, in fact, the legitimate big bad wolf!
When Yu Yuehan met her gaze, he smiled lovingly and replied with a pause between every word, “Because Mo Yongheng had bet on the fact that I would not simply watch the two of you get married to each other. As such, I would definitely allow you to help him out.”
Mo Yongheng’s move was an extremely smart one.
He had easily lured all of them into his trap.
Technically speaking, they were in fact helping themselves instead of Mo Yongheng right now.
“Hmph, I would not help him if Zheng Yan does not take a fancy to him. I remembered that Zheng Yan had once mentioned that she has got a heartthrob; even though that happened during her childhood, it seemed like she still could not forget the older brother who lived next door even after all these years. She even told me the other day that if this older brother is still alive, she would definitely pester him to marry her even if it meant that she had to beg him for it!”
Nian Xiaomu realized that the look in Yu Yuehan’s eyes had changed the moment she finished speaking.
His deep and soulful gaze s.h.i.+mmered so brightly that it appeared really scary.
Just as she was about to ask him what was going on, he spoke.
“What did you say just now? Zheng Yan likes the older brother who lived next door?”
“I think so. She did mention that there was an older brother who lived next door when she was young, but it was a pity that he pa.s.sed away after that. She actually could not get her mind off him even after so many years…”
Nian Xiaomu continued to speak and did not notice that a sinister smile had already curled up on the corner of Yu Yuehan’s lips.
