Chapter 419: Chapter 420 What is Bo Sishen’s Purpose
Shen Chengcheng and Li Xiaotian immediately shook their heads and waved their hands in unison, "Nian Nian, we aren’t hiding anything from you."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them were stunned.
Especially Shen Chengcheng and Li Xiaotian, when they finished speaking, they looked at each other, their gazes so complicated.
Mu Shini curved her lips into a smile, "You two are so in sync, it seems you really are hiding something from me. Come on, what is it?"
Shen Chengcheng spread her hands, "Nian Nian, it’s nothing much, it’s just Mu Xuerou and Ye Shaochen. You have to be wary of them; both of them are entangled with you for various reasons. Ye Shaochen even wants to rekindle an old flame, while Mu Xuerou has her eyes set on the professor. You’re really stuck between a rock and a hard place."
Mu Shini replied indifferently, "You know that it’s impossible between Ye Shaochen and me. As for Mu Xuerou eyeing the professor... I’ve already warned him to be careful of her. How he deals with it is his business. Besides, I’m not his significant other, how can I stop him from liking anyone?"
As Mu Shini spoke, she lowered her eyes, hiding the sadness within them.
Her lips carried a faint trace of sorrow.
After finishing her porridge, Mu Shini slung her single-shoulder bag over her back and said to Shen Chengcheng, "Chengcheng, since you and Xia Tian live together, make sure you take her back. I’m heading back to school; I still have some assignments to finish."
"Nian Nian, we’ll take you back." Shen Chengcheng stood up, holding Mu Shini’s hand.
"Yes, Nian Nian, let us take you back." Li Xiaotian got up as well, after packing up her things.
"No need, I can walk back by myself." Mu Shini said.
...
Watching Mu Shini leave the porridge shop, Shen Chengcheng turned around and looked at Li Xiaotian, asking seriously, "Xia Tian, do you really remember what happened in America that Bo Tinghao told you about? Are you sure it was Bo Sishen’s people who took you to America? Why would they take you to America?"
Li Xiaotian shook her head, furrowing her brows as she looked at Shen Chengcheng, "I truly have no impression of the trip to America at all. I don’t understand why Bo Tinghao would tell me those things."
"Because Bo Tinghao is Nian Nian’s husband’s nephew, and he wants to steal a woman from his uncle."
Shen Chengcheng’s face turned pale, her brows furrowed as she continued, "As Nian Nian’s good friends, we naturally have to support the original couple. Don’t you see how well Nian Nian and the professor look together?"
"They do look perfect together, a talented man and a beautiful woman. And I heard from Nian Nian that Bo Sishen is her betrothed husband since childhood. Just..." Li Xiaotian paused, looked at Shen Chengcheng, and continued, "Why did Bo Sishen take me to America? What is his purpose? He’s so inscrutable. Is it really suitable for Nian Nian to be with him? He knew who Nian Nian was, yet he hid his identity..."
Seeing Li Xiaotian’s face full of concern, Shen Chengcheng said, "It’s not that Bo is deliberately hiding it. He’s a very reserved man, and he concealed his identity because of a bet with his nephew."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotian became even more dissatisfied, "A bet? Betting a woman with his own nephew? How could Bo Sishen be so despicable, using his own wife Nian Nian as a wager? Women hate men’s deception the most! And using them as a bet!"
