But if it were the little villain, she would be happy to let this assumption slide.
Rong Si had no intention of arguing. Instead, he thought how good it would be if Song Xinyan were telling the truth.
“It’s best if there’s nothing between you and him.” Li Mohan’s gaze was still cold. “Since there’s nothing, why don’t you come with me?”
Song Xinyan also felt defeated by Li Mohan. This morning, she happened to meet Rong Si in the restaurant. When she saw that he wasn’t with Little Jiu, she thought something had happened to the girl. And so, she had gone to him to ask about Little Jiu. After knowing that Little Jiu was still sleeping, she felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, Li Mohan had seen her. Li Mohan never liked her talking to other boys and immediately got unhappy. Song Xinyan did not want to be “punished” by him again and quickly slipped away.
She thought that she would be fine if she were in Little Jiu’s room. Unexpectedly, Li Mohan came looking for her there. This damn possessive boy!
If he weren’t someone she liked, she would have kicked him into the Pacific Ocean for a swim!
It seemed that if she did not mollify this jealous fellow today, she would not have a good day.
Song Xinyan walked over helplessly. When she reached the door, she stopped and turned to Su Jiu. “Little Jiu, let’s meet tomorrow.”
Su Jiu sympathetically looked at her and nodded. “Okay.”
After Song Xinyan left, only Su Jiu and Rong Si were left in the room. Su Jiu asked curiously, “Rong Si, as a boy, what kind of person do you think Li Mohan is?”
Rong Si paused with the fork in his hand, his dark eyes fixed on her face, appraising her.
Meeting such a gaze, Su Jiu hurriedly explained, “I’m just a little curious. I… I don’t have any thoughts about him!”
After saying that, she got embarrassed. What the hell? Why do I have to explain? As if I’m afraid that this so-called “boyfriend” would misunderstand!
Rong Si’s eyes suddenly softened when he heard her say that. “He’s nothing much,” he replied.
“Nothing much?”
“Don’t you think so?” Rong Si countered, his searching eyes on her again. “Do you think he’s good?”
“Of course, not!” Su Jiu immediately replied. “I think he’s too domineering! Xinyan doesn’t seem to have any freedom with him. She should have her own private space and circle of friends.”
Su Jiu pursed his lips. “If I were in her shoes, I would find it hard and depressing to be with someone like him. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist arguing and fighting with him.”
Rong Si raised his eyebrows. “You would fight?”
Su Jiu choked. Although sometimes she felt that Li Mohan was quite annoying and she really got the urge to beat him up, to protect her image as a lady in front of the little villain, Su Jiu shook her head. She said, “It’s just a saying. I don’t think I could if I tried.”
In the original novel, Li Mohan had beaten up a man who wanted to molest the female lead until that man knelt and begged for mercy. The man had been hospitalized for three months, which showed that Li Mohan’s fighting prowess was quite good.
“So you don’t like the kind of person he is?” Rong Si was watching her closely, his face serious as if he was looking forward to her answer.
“Right!”
“So what kind of person do you like?” Rong Si asked again.
Su Jiu was speechless.
She almost blurted out, “Of course, a person like you!” However, she was too embarrassed to say it and blushed. Instead, she replied, “I’m not telling you!”
“Like Han Siye?”
“Nope!” Su Jiu denied it again without thinking. “I’ve rejected him so many times. How can I like him?”
“Then… like Xiao Wei?”
