Chapter 1516 - Turn All EQ into IQ (2/2)

“Yep. I was only curious. Why did you climb through my window, seek my help, then kiss me and leave, seemingly not wanting to take responsibility for your actions?” Han Zhuoli laughed.

He had checked her and her background thoroughly and anticipated her next move.

The price for his curiosity was giving her his heart.

“Big Brother has yet to be enlightened.” Lu Man smiled. “It’s quite incredible, now that you think about it. He’s 33 yet inexperienced in matters of the heart.”

Han Zhuoli burst out laughing. His Big Brother had turned all his EQ into IQ to be used for work.

Lu Man’s countenance suddenly changed. “Oh, if only you’ve told me earlier! Shi Xiaoya called me in the afternoon, asking if I needed her to do my makeup on the gala night. I don’t need to make an appearance, I just need to be seated below as a student, so I rejected her offer, lest she missed out on other job opportunities. If I had known, I’d have agreed!”

“It’s fine.” Han Zhuoli held her hand. “Jiang Yuhan had approached Shi Xiaoya before. She seems to be a guest for the gala. Shi Xiaoya was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to help you if you approached her after she had promised to help Jiang Yuhan, so she called to enquire. If you don’t need her services, then she’ll take on Jiang Yuhan’s offer. The ending’s the same either way—she’ll be there during the gala night. Even if she’s not among the guests, she’ll be backstage helping Jiang Yuhan with her cosmetics.”

As Han Zhuoli spoke, he parked the car in the garage and got down with Lu Man.

Rubbing his chin, he thought aloud, “Now that I think about it, I’ve seen Shi Xiaoya interact with Brother only once. It’s during the previous film festival, when Big Brother got his face scratched and Shi Xiaoya had to cover it up. What about you?”

Lu Man nodded. “Same, I’ve seen it only once that time.”
