Chapter 729 - Mo Xicheng, I Like You!(6) (1/2)

Although she thought that, the tears formed uncontrollably and rolled down her cheeks, wetting her face.

She walked alone along the streets of Hengdian.

Mo Xicheng followed her, frowning and lost in his thoughts. He looked bewildered and at a loss as to how to comfort an upset girl.

He knew she didn’t want him around, but he was too worried to let her be alone.

Qiao Lian was tugging Shen Liangchuan along as they trailed the two of them from a safe distance.

They couldn’t have heard what Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng had said to each other, but looking at what was going on, everything was self-explanatory.

She shot Shen Liangchuan a look to indicate that they should attend to them separately.

Qiao Lian walked up to Shi Nianyao and tapped her shoulder.

The latter spun her head around and, seeing that it was Qiao Lian, now felt worse than ever. She called out, “Lian Lian!” and started to cry aloud.

Qiao Lian drew the sobbing girl into her embrace.

Shi Nianyao was starting to choke on her own tears now.

After a brief moment, she looked up and dried her eyes. “Actually, there really isn’t anything to cry about.”

Qiao Lian nodded in agreement. “That’s right, three-legged toads are rare, but two-legged men are a dime a dozen. We’re not bad looking, so the least of our worries is finding a man to like us.”

“Lian Lian, what are you saying?!” Shi Nianyao pouted and said, “I’m sure my idol doesn’t like me because I’m not good enough. Tell me, what is it I’m lacking?”

Qiao Lian was completely astounded.

After all of this, the silly girl still held a torch for him?

Frowning, Shi Nianyao continued, “Mum and Dad are both good-looking people. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have a problem in that department. Intellectually, even less so. That leaves…”

Qiao Lian widened her eyes. In what other ways was Shi Nianyao not perfect?

As she contemplated the possibilities, Shi Nianyao suddenly slapped her own forehead, saying, “Could it be because I don’t have a good figure?”

Figure?

Qiao Lian looked at Shi Nianyao again.
