Chapter 420: Chapter 421 Surprise
Shen Chengcheng’s face darkened, taking a deep breath, "Is it really that serious? Bo, the great deity, is only doing it for his nephew, but I believe Bo, the great deity, would never give Nian Nian away."
"I can’t remember anything that happened during our trip to the US, which shows that Bo Sishen is hiding something. A man with such profound scheming, he can conceal the wager so well that Nian Nian wouldn’t discover it. Can he use two identities to interact with Nian Nian? Even if he uses his uncle identity to show affection with another woman in front of Nian Nian, does it not matter?"
Li Xiaotian sighed lightly, furrowing his brows deeply, "Didn’t you see how depressed Nian Nian looked when she mentioned being unable to interfere with the uncle’s matters? It’s evident that her feelings for the uncle are extraordinary. Maybe she genuinely developed feelings; that’s when Nian Nian experiences the most pain - having a husband but not being able to love another man."
"That man is Nian Nian’s husband," Shen Chengcheng added.
"But when he appears in front of Nian Nian using the uncle identity, he isn’t her husband," Li Xiaotian glared at Shen Chengcheng, "So, you men doing wrong are still justified! I can overlook Bo Sishen taking me to the US, but if I recall what happened in the US and it concerns Nian Nian, I will definitely tell her."
"Bao Tinghao didn’t tell you?" Shen Chengcheng asked in surprise.
Li Xiaotian shook his head, "No, he only told me that Bo Sishen was the one who took me to the US; he didn’t mention why."
...
Ying University, on the small path outside Bo Sishen’s villa.
Mu Shini was walking towards the villa when the phone in her bag suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts.
She took it out, the caller ID showed it was Bao Tinghao, hesitated for a moment, and answered: "Hello, Tinghao, what’s up?"
"Nian Nian, turn around, I have a surprise for you," Bao Tinghao’s voice came from the phone.
Mu Shini was stunned, slowly turning as Bao Tinghao instructed.
But she felt immense pressure at that moment.
A surprise?
Bao Tinghao wanted to give her a surprise?
In the campus of Ying University.
As she turned around, she saw Bao Tinghao holding a bouquet of flowers, walking slowly towards her. She held the phone, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Nian Nian, I knew you came back today, so I’ve been waiting here for a while. These flowers and chocolates are to celebrate your safe return." When Bao Tinghao learned that Mu Shini was taken away by his uncle because she was ill, he had been extremely worried about her.
Mu Shini took the bouquet, "Tinghao, thank you for the flowers and chocolates."
"Nian Nian, please don’t feel too much pressure; I just hope you can be as beautiful and radiant as these flowers. It isn’t meant to scare you," Bao Tinghao explained quickly, fearing Mu Shini might feel awkward.
Mu Shini’s face suddenly turned red, she said, "I’ll head back to the house first. I have a lot of assignments to catch up on, and besides, this house belongs to the professor, so I’m afraid to casually bring friends in..."
"I understand, it’s alright. I just wanted to see you," Bao Tinghao smiled at Mu Shini, giving her a reassuring smile.
Mu Shini suddenly stiffened; how small-minded she must have been, thinking poorly of Bao Tinghao.
"How about next time I invite you to go out for dinner with us?" Mu Shini offered an apology.
"Sure, but don’t bring the professor along," Bao Tinghao made a small request.
Mu Shini was stunned for a moment, a bit confused why the professor couldn’t be included.
