Chapter 967: Take the Bait (1/2)

Mo Ning’s lack of response made Huo Run a little disappointed.

He no longer smiled at her or hinted anything with his eyes, nor did he try to start a conversation with her.

All these signs made Huo Run feel at a loss.

Questions from her friends got her questioning if Mo Ning really liked her.

While she thought the idea was beneath herself, it also made her feel proud and slightly hopeful.

Nevertheless…

Mo Ning stirred her heart with his gentle smile, but did not attempt anything else after that.

Was it just her imagination after all?

Huo Run turned to her right and directed a scornful look at Mo Ning.

There he was, wearing a plain white shirt and looking vaguely languorous.

She could not help but feel dispirited and was about to look away when Mo Ning turned toward her.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Huo Run’s body froze. She wanted to look away but then saw that Mo Ning had noticed her diamond butterfly hairpin.

The young man looked like he was admiring it.

It’s very beautiful.

Huo Run could almost hear his thoughts.

His eyes were naturally charismatic, but untainted by worldly pleasure. Instead of lust, he seemed more interested in other things.

At that moment, Huo Run believed that she was truly very beautiful.

With just his eyes, that young man was able to evoke trust in him.

“…”

Huo Run looked away with her fair skin blushing.

Mo Ning blinked in puzzlement.

She did not know what Huo Run was thinking and she was also not intentionally flirting.

Since they were still unfamiliar with each other, Mo Ning thought she should make herself stand out before approaching Huo Run.
