Chapter 232: Chapter 233 Deceiving Her, Not Me
"Are you ever going to stop? Can’t you see Bo is still here? Why do you keep talking to me?" Mu Shini gave Shen Chengcheng a push, then turned to Bo Tinghao with an apologetic smile, "Sorry about that, Shen Chengcheng just can’t stop talking, like a woman."
"It’s okay," Bo Tinghao smiled faintly, giving them both a casual glance, "You two seem very close..."
Bo Tinghao could tell, Shen Chengcheng cared for Mu Shini in a sibling-like manner.
"Of course, I’m Nian Nian’s best friend, and Nian Nian is my buddy. But if Nian Nian were to fall in love with me, we could be lovers. Too bad Nian Nian is already taken." Shen Chengcheng raised his eyebrows proudly, implying that Bo Tinghao was irrelevant.
Bo Tinghao wasn’t an idiot; he could hear the warning in Shen Chengcheng’s words.
Mu Shini’s significant other was his second uncle, the very rival he needed to overcome.
Shen Chengcheng checked the time, remembering Bo Sishen’s instructions not to let Bo Tinghao and Mu Shini be together for more than 20 minutes.
It was about time; he had to report back to Bo Sishen.
"Nian Nian, it’s about time for you to rest, isn’t it? Go put on a face mask and get to bed. Bo and I will head out now!" Shen Chengcheng stood up abruptly, pulling Bo Tinghao towards the door.
"It’s only eight o’clock, why would I go to bed?"
Mu Shini looked at the clock on the wall, puzzled.
She couldn’t sleep before eleven, at the earliest.
Moreover, she had too many things on her mind lately, not even one of which allowed her to sleep peacefully!
"You’re looking at a fake clock, fake time." Shen Chengcheng pushed Bo Tinghao out, "No need to see us off, we can manage!"
"Bang—"
With a loud noise, Shen Chengcheng shut the door.
Bo Tinghao stood at the door, his eyes cold as he looked at Shen Chengcheng, "Why are you doing this?"
Shen Chengcheng turned around, his smile fading, and looked at Bo Tinghao, "It’s a pity, but you and my Nian Nian aren’t suited for each other. You should stop thinking about her."
"You know I like her?" Bo Tinghao looked at Shen Chengcheng, somewhat surprised.
Shen Chengcheng scoffed, looking Bo Tinghao up and down, "Your eyes have already given away that you like Nian Nian. But it’s a shame that you’ve never said it, and my Nian Nian won’t know you like her. Although she’s excellent in many ways, in matters of love, she’s a bit clueless. Unless someone makes the first move, she understands nothing about it. She’s slow to warm up in these matters. She’s passionate and obsessed only with things that interest her, such as painting and medicine. Even if her heart is conflicted, she still excels in all areas of knowledge."
"I don’t get why Nian Nian, who clearly won’t go into the entertainment industry, came here to study. After hearing all this, don’t you think my Nian Nian is even more special and outstanding?"
As Shen Chengcheng spoke, he glanced at Mu Shini’s room door, then looked back at Bo Tinghao, "As far as I know, Mu Shini’s husband is Bo Sishen, the rumored mysterious second young master of the Bo Family, and the commander-in-chief of the military district, Bo Sishen. You also have the surname Bo. I don’t believe in such coincidences. I don’t know how you explained your surname Bo to Nian Nian, but I, Shen Chengcheng, am not that easy to fool. In the entire Qingcheng, there’s only one Bo family."
Of course, the reason he knew Bo Tinghao’s background was entirely due to the first-hand information provided by Bo Sishen.
