Chapter 533 - Hurry Up and Tell Us the Truth

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Third, the ways of the olden society have long passed. Arranged marriage no longer exists. Forget about what my parents had or hadn’t said. Even if they really insisted, must I listen? And knowing how much they love me, they would never impose on me like that. Fourth, I don’t like you. Let me make myself extremely clear. Now, I can’t even treat you as an older brother anymore because the way you’re so self-righteous even makes me a little sick.”

“Lastly, what I’m telling you now isn’t a front, but it’s what I truly feel. I don’t care who you’re friends with or who you’re close to. You are not important to me. You don’t need to explain yourself to me or worry about my feelings. I’m not pretending to be understanding here. I’m not the bigger person at all. If the person I like did something sorry to me, I wouldn’t give him my blessing with a smile on my face.”

She even threw a tantrum at her uncle last night.

She was not understanding at all.

“But you should know that I’m a pretty ignorant person.” In order to make Wei Keli understand, she was willing to tarnish her own name. “Like you said earlier, you don’t like ignorant girls. Well, guess what? I happen to be very ignorant, so please don’t like me.”

Wei Keli’s perfectly handsome face was all scrunched up from the raging fury. It looked slightly deformed.

Tan Mo thought way too highly of herself.

In fact, he didn’t like Tan Mo that much at all.

Besides her pretty face, what was so great about her?

Tan Mo said it as if he had been pestering her.

But what was so bad about him that Tan Mo didn’t find him attractive?

Looking at Tan Mo’s serious expression, Wei Keli couldn’t tell at that moment whether or not she was telling the truth.

The Tan Mo that he was seeing now was not the same girl who used to smile sweetly back at him.

His gaze unconsciously landed on her lips.

He had been so focused on her behavior that he had not noticed Tan Mo’s lips.

Looking over now, he noticed a faint bite mark on her lower lip.

Did Tan Mo bite her own lip?

Or did someone else?

“What happened to your lips?” Wei Keli asked with a calm face, raising his eyebrows.

Tan Mo was about to speak when she heard Qin Muye’s voice, “Momo!”

Tan Mo and Wei Keli looked over at the same time. They saw Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing walking over together.

Wei Keli’s heart filled with disdain.

Ming Yeqing followed Qin Muye everywhere she went like an unshakable pest. It was shameless.

“I have to catch up with Muye and Ah-Qing,” Tan Mo said indifferently to Wei Keli.

With Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing present, Wei Keli did not dare to speak recklessly.

Tan Mo quickly walked past Wei Keli and hurried a few steps away from him. She was relieved to see Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing had made their way over.

Qin Muye took Tan Mo’s arm in hers. “Was he bothering you again?”

“He was talking about the Hot Spring Villa,” Tan Mo said.

“How long has it been? Why is he bringing this up again?” Qin Muye was starting to get annoyed.

“Because after that, wasn’t I busy all the time? He wanted to find me but couldn’t. He finally got ahold of me today,” Tan Mo said in a hushed tone and walked away with Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing.

“He insisted that I was putting up a front, pretending to be understanding and unbothered by him being with Yuan Keqing, when in fact, I was still jealous and mad at him.” Tan Mo repeated the exact same words that Wei Keli had used.

Ming Yeqing was speechless.

Forgive his oblivion, but this was the first time he had met such a confident man.

Qin Muye looked like she was on the verge of throwing up. “Why is he so gross?”

After the feeling of disgust had passed, Qin Muye looked at Tan Mo and felt something was off about her.

“Momo, is there something different about you?” Qin Muye studied Tan Mo’s face carefully.

Tan Mo’s face was still the same, but she couldn’t help but feel that something seemed different.

She looked prettier.

“Nope.” Tan Mo touched her face. “I’m still the same old me. Nothing’s changed.”

“Ah-Qing, can you tell?” Qin Muye turned her head and said to Ming Yeqing, “I just somehow feel like Momo is different.”

Ming Yeqing and Tan Mo shared an absolutely platonic relationship.

Even if Ming Yeqing stared at Tan Mo, she would not be the slightest bit uncomfortable, let alone think much of it.

Then, Ming Yeqing began studying Tan Mo’s face too.

After a few seconds, Ming Yeqing noticed what was wrong. “Momo, who bit your lips?”

Although he was asking...

Ming Yeqing already had the answer in his heart.

Besides Wei Zhiqian, who else could there be?

He recalled that when Qin Muye had called Tan Mo this morning, Wei Zhiqian was also with her.

Did Wei Zhiqian make his move so fast?

Had the two kissed already?

Hearing those words, Qin Muye looked at Tan Mo’s lips too.

Sure enough, there was a faint bite mark on her lower lip.

“It’s possible that Momo bit herself,” Qin Muye told Ming Yeqing.

“If she bit herself, it wouldn’t be from that angle,” Ming Yeqing said. “If you don’t believe me, look.”

Ming Yeqing bit his lower lip to demonstrate to Qin Muye.

Qin Muye saw where Ming Yeqing’s lower lip was bitten, and the surrounding area turned pale.

After a while, Ming Yeqing unclenched his jaw, leaving a bite mark on his lower lip.

Since he hadn’t bitten himself as hard as Tan Mo’s lips were bitten, it disappeared after a while.

“Look, if you were to bite yourself, it would be in this angle.” Ming Yeqing pointed to his lower lip. “Momo’s obviously wasn’t done by herself.”

Qin Muye studied Ming Yeqing’s lips carefully for quite some time.

Ming Yeqing swallowed unconsciously, his lips trembling uncomfortably.

With great difficulty, Qin Muye finally lifted her gaze and looked at Tan Mo again.

“It really is different from the way Ah-Qing bit himself!” Qin Muye exclaimed excitedly.

Tan Mo was lost for words.

“Hurry up and tell us the truth!” Qin Muye hugged Tan Mo’s arm.

“It’s not very convenient to talk about it here...” Tan Mo didn’t intend to hide it from them.

“Do you still have class later?” Qin Muye asked and Tan Mo. “Ah-Qing and I have no more classes this morning.”

“Me neither,” Tan Mo answered obediently.

“Perfect, let’s go to a cafe then,” Qin Muye said.

Being more thoughtful, Ming Yeqing said, “If we’re gonna go to a cafe, then let’s go to one that’s farther away, somewhere that’s not within the campus or nearby the vicinity.”

“Momo must have something very important to tell us that’s probably private,” Ming Yeqing said.

Tan Mo couldn’t help but glance at Ming Yeqing.

Had he guessed it already?

Right then, Ming Yeqing looked over.

He was smiling from ear to ear, and the gleam in his eyes was filled with intent.

Tan Mo blushed and stammered, “A-Ah-Qing has a point.”

Hearing that response, Qin Muye could tell at once that it really was something private.

“Okay, let’s go! We can also have our lunch outside,” Qin Muye chimed in gleefully.

Ming Yeqing immediately called a cab. When the three of them arrived at the university entrance, the car was already waiting by the gates.

The three of them hopped in the car and set off to the cafe.
