Chapter 38

But if she regained her clarity afterwards, she would definitely regret it…

Ruining the relationship between them just for a momentary thrill wouldn't be worth the loss.

He was still planning to cultivate this little female lead to become his capable assistant.

Besides, going to Xia Qingge's home wasn't safe either. If Xia Dahai came back and caught them red-anded, it would be hilarious…

There was also a little tail that hadn't been shaken off yet.

Xu Hao glanced at the rearview mirror without leaving a trace.

A figure covered in sweat, drenched all over, and exhausted like a dog was quietly watching from the shadows.

Furthermore, there was still a protagonist stepmother waiting at home…

He couldn't wait to go back and use the bunny girl outfit in the Pocket Dimension.

Forget it, let's call it a day for now.

Grinding a massive wave of favorability from this female lead didn't waste his efforts.

"Let's leave it at that for today. I still have some things to handle back home. When I come to disturb your family next time, just don't chase me away…"

Hearing Xu Hao's rejection, Xia Qingge felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she still nodded.

After getting out of the car——

Watching Xu Hao drive away, Xia Qingge stood in place for a long time, unable to recover her senses.

"Mon… Monitor…"

A somewhat hoarse voice came over.

Xia Qingge found it somewhat familiar and turned her head to look.

She saw Chen Mo walking over covered in sweat, and Xia Qingge asked doubtfully.

"Classmate Chen, what happened to you?"

Chen Mo's expression stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"It's nothing, I'm just night running…"

"Oh."

Xia Qingge didn't pay much attention to it and turned around to go home.

"Keep running slowly, and stay safe at night."

Chen Mo: "…"

…

032 Bunny outfit arranged! Walking the protagonist like a dog…

…

"Wait… Monitor, what is this? Is this flower sent to you by that Xu Hao?"

Chen Mo hurriedly called out to stop Xia Qingge.

Xia Qingge paused her steps and asked doubtfully.

"What is it?"

"That Xu Hao is simply a hypocrite, you must not be deceived by him…"

"Let me tell you, other people all say how great he is, but actually that's all just a facade put up by Xu Hao."

"Otherwise, look at how old he is, yet he's still sending flowers to someone like you with such a big age gap. He definitely doesn't have good intentions towards you…"

The corners of Chen Mo's mouth curved up with a smug smile.

Everyone else was kept in the dark by Xu Hao, and only he saw through Xu Hao's true face.

And what he didn't notice was——

Ever since he started speaking, Xia Qingge's expression became increasingly ugly.

"Are you done talking?"

Xia Qingge's expression was gloomy, and her tone was icy.

If it weren't for the fact that he helped her out of a tight spot this afternoon, she would have already cursed him out loudly…

Following Xu Hao celebrating her birthday today, Xu Hao's image in her heart became increasingly towering.

She did not allow anyone to slander him.

Furthermore——

Xu Hao had a reason for sending her heart-shaped roses.

It was his subordinates who acted on their own authority…

Strange… what was going on with this slight disappointment in her heart?

Noticing Xia Qingge's expression, Chen Mo wore a blank look.

Wasn't Xia Qingge supposed to see through Xu Hao's true face under his reminder?

Why was she defending him instead?

"Qingge, everything I said is true. That Xu Hao puts on one act in public and another behind the scenes…"

Seeing the School Beauty display Life Qi, he suddenly became a bit anxious and hurriedly said.

"While he is being perfunctory with you, he's also flirting with another woman, who happens to be our teacher Wang Xueying…"

I saw them eating together last time, and they even hugged intimately.

Xia Qingge's expression changed slightly.

But thinking of what Chen Mo just said, she quickly calmed down.

Uncle Xu couldn't possibly be that kind of person…

This guy was racking his brains to slander Uncle Xu; maybe he just made up a story to tell her.

Even if he saw it, it couldn't prove it was true.

Wasn't the flower in her hand an example?

Sometimes what the eyes see isn't necessarily the truth.

Even if it were true, it had nothing to do with her anyway…

She was merely Uncle Xu's niece.

Daring to orchestrate Uncle Xu like this, Xia Qingge was full of Life Qi, and her tone was extremely impolite.

Completely disregarding classmate ties.

"Get lost, don't let me see you ever again…"

Having finished speaking angrily, Xia Qingge turned around and left, entering the residential area without looking back.

In place, Chen Mo was left standing in disarray in the wind.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

That's not right, shouldn't the script be Xia Qingge generating Life Qi towards Xu Hao?

He just wanted to grind some favorability in front of Xia Qingge, how did it suddenly turn into out of sight, out of mind…

…

Suddenly, Chen Mo's peripheral vision noticed a car driving out from the corner ahead.

That was Xu Hao's car.

He actually hadn't driven away.

That's right, after bidding farewell to Xia Qingge, Xu Hao didn't leave directly…

He knew the protagonist Chen Mo was around. If he left at this time—

In case the clichéd Protagonist Halo activated and got entangled with the female lead, it would be a tragedy.

Therefore, he stayed behind to see how things stood.

Now seeing the protagonist and the female lead having a falling out, Xu Hao expressed satisfaction.

He stepped on the accelerator and sped off into the distance…

…

[Ding… Chen Mo was furious, Emotion Points +888…]
