Chapter 245 - Marry Me If I Win (1/2)

“What you said is true?” Hearing Mo Junyang’s words, Shi Qingxue looked astonished.

Mo Junyang raised his brows slightly and laughed. “What? You don’t believe it?”

“Yes. I just think the two are…strange!” Shi Qingxue didn’t conceal her emotions and replied frankly to Mo Junyang.

Although she had heard that Zhou Ruyu planned to make a match for Shi Baoyou and Mo Junhao, she just thought that Zhou Ruyu was daydreaming. The two had no contact and would never be together.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the situation changed dramatically, which surprised her.

“Strange?” Mo Junyang repeated the word and then stayed silent all of a sudden.

Shi Qingxue didn’t realize Mo Junyang’s changing emotions and thought that he didn’t understand what she meant.

She nodded and continued to explain, “Right. In the previous life, Mo Junhao married Shi Baojin, who was my uncle’s legitimate daughter. She was ambitious and coveted the position of the fourth prince’s wife for a long time, and she knew him since long ago, so it is understandable.

“But Baoyou and Mo Junhao had nothing to do with each other in the past, and the third master’s family wants to make a match for them. It is…”

In order to get the power, they really didn’t care about the feelings of the two?

Shi Qingxue sighed involuntarily.

But Mo Junyang sneered. “You said that Shi Baojin was ambitious, but why are you sure that Shi Baoyou doesn’t have her intentions?”

“Er…” Shi Qingxue didn’t think of this matter and was in a daze for a moment. She retorted subconsciously, “No way? Baoyou doesn’t look like…”

She shut up halfway before Mo Junyang reminded her.

Men couldn’t be judged by their looks.

After pondering for a while, she still thought this matter was uncertain.

She added, “Even if the third master’s family wants to, Baoyou is inferior in identity. I don’t think Mo Junhao would give in.”

Shi Qingxue was not stupid. Now the news spread everywhere, and Mo Junhao showed that he cared for her so much and couldn’t forget her, even though she didn’t take it seriously. He wouldn’t change his mind and love somebody else at the critical time.

Unless…

“Unless Mo Junhao stopped coveting me!” At the thought of this possibility, Shi Qingxue’s big eyes lit up like the stars in the sky at night, which were dreamy and fascinating.

She looked at Mo Junyang with expectancy and requested silently, “Let them be a couple and then I can get rid of him. Let’s do something.”

Mo Junyang was instantly pleased by Shi Qingxue’s expectant eyes and what she meant. He didn’t look cold and even showed a warm smile.

But he shook his head slowly. “We don’t need to do anything. Let’s just watch a play.”

“Is it so easy?” Shi Qingxue pondered for a moment and finally understood that Mo Junyang planned to leave this matter to Mo Shujun.

Then she looked at Mo Junyang doubtfully and pouted. “Although Grandma is always partial to the third master’s family, she wouldn’t have no clear estimation of herself and go to propose marriage for Baoyou, right?”

She had thought that Mo Shujun said that just to fool Shi Baoyou randomly because she had no choice after the girl pestered her. “I don’t think she would lower herself and propose marriage for a grandchild, who she didn’t care about in the past.”

In the previous life, Mo Shujun loved Shi Qingxue so much, even if she just spoilt this granddaughter on the surface. But she never made a match for Shi Qingxue and Mo Junhao, and she even seldom asked about their marriage. She just let them do whatever they liked.

Mo Shujun was in a too high position for more than half a lifetime. Perhaps except her husband Shi Lei, anybody, even including the late emperor, couldn’t make her lower her honorable head.

So Shi Qingxue didn’t think that Mo Shujun would do something like that for Shi Baoyou.

However, Mo Junyang responded simply, “I think she would do it.”

“Humph, I don’t believe it. Anyway, she and I have lived in the same mansion for so long. I certainly know her better than you.” Shi Qingxue still firmly believed that she guessed right.

Mo Junyang didn’t retort her in a hurry and just playfully crooked his finger to her. When Shi Qingxue got close to him, he gently poked the tip of her nose and chuckled. “How about we have a bet?”

“Let’s bet. Who cares?” Shi Qingxue rolled her sleeves up and was about to start.

But before they talked about the stake, Wei Zichao quickly walked to them and reported in a low voice, “Your Excellency, just now a spy came to tell me that Princess Royal was taken out of the mansion by a carriage to a country house in the suburbs. They found after investigation that the house belongs to a follower of the fourth prince.”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

Damn it! Was it necessary to do that?

As soon as she agreed to bet, the answer was revealed. They just didn’t give her a way out.

Shi Qingxue covered her face and felt too ashamed to look at them.

Mo Junyang nodded and then waved Wei Zichao away. Later, looking up at Shi Qingxue who prepared to “flee”, he stated calmly, “So I won? Hmm, Qingxue…”

Hearing Mo Junyang call her name with a nasal voice, Shi Qingxue had goose bumps.

She didn’t dare to run away and made it worse, sitting straight with a snort. “Forget it. You must have got some special information in advance, so you know that she would go to see Mo Junhao. If there is no accident that I don’t know, she would never do that.”

Mo Junyang uplifted his brows again and stared at Shi Qingxue, with admiration in his eyes.

She deserved to be the girl he loved.

Her thinking was so acute. Before he spoke, she had guessed.

In the beginning, Shi Qingxue just resorted to sophistry, but while speaking, she thought it was right and Mo Junyang must have “fooled” her.

Then she looked up at Mo Junyang’s expression and soon understood everything.

“Great. You really hide something from me. Tell me now!” She snorted at Mo Junyang with displeasure and became bolder with sufficient reasons.

Mo Junyang didn’t get angry but smiled with love. However, he still kept her in suspense. “How about you guess?”

Who would guess!

Shi Qingxue’s heart seemed to have been scratched by a cat, and she became extremely curious. Mo Junyang said the words “you guess”, as if cold water was poured to her and made her feel utterly disappointed.
