Chapter 245 - Marry Me If I Win (2/2)
But the situation was more powerful than her. Shi Qingxue pouted and hurriedly changed. She looked obedient and adorable, calling in a sweet voice, “Brother Junyang, just tell me, okay?”
She was still young, and her voice had a high pitch. Moreover, she intentionally softened her tone, so she called “Brother Junyang” in a charming voice.
Even she herself had goose bumps after hearing that, but Mo Junyang looked as if he was happy to hear it, and then he nodded with satisfaction.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and crossed his legs like a boss, continuing to order, “It’s great if I can hear a song now.”
Shi Qingxue was unable to reply and cursed in secret.
She pretended to be obedient, but it didn’t work, so she showed her true colors and glared at Mo Junyang, saying furiously, “Mo Junyang, if you are capable, just say that again.”
Unfortunately, she made threatening gestures and got mad, but in Mo Junyang’s eyes, she was just like a kitten which lost temper. It would scratch him occasionally, but it wouldn’t make him feel the pain or itch.
But in order not to make his kitten run away out of anger, Mo Junyang cooperated with her and showed that he was under her control. He answered frankly, “Because Zhou Ruyu has the evidence and threatened Princess Royal, asking her to help Shi Baoyou marry Mo Junhao.”
Hearing about a big secret, Shi Qingxue wasn’t angry anymore and looked at Mo Junyang with her whole attention.
After he finished his words, her pretty face still looked absent-minded.
After a long time, she murmured, “No wonder!”
“But what was written in the note? It could make Grandma listen to Zhou Ruyu?” Shi Qingxue was more confused.
If that note was so useful, why didn’t Zhou Ruyu take it out to protect herself when her scandal was exposed?
“She can’t be so selfless and do something for others instead of herself. Would she make her daughter’s wish come true in spite of her grievance?” Shi Qingxue snorted with disdain.
She said that, but she didn’t believe her words at all.
Mo Junyang analyzed for her. “When you threatened Princess Royal, you said that if she was partial, you would let others know this matter. Under the pressure from outside, she couldn’t protect anybody even if she wanted to.
“Zhou Ruyu didn’t think of threatening Princess Royal with this matter probably because this secret…can’t be shown in public.”
Shi Qingxue supported her chin and pondered for a while, agreeing to Mo Junyang’s argument.
Then she asked with expectancy soon, “So you know what secret is hidden in that note?”
Mo Junyang laughed and interrupted Shi Qingxue’s imagination cruelly. “No, I don’t know.”
“You are so capable. How can you not know it?” Shi Qingxue didn’t believe Mo Junyang’s words and started to say something nice generously. “Don’t leave me in suspense! Brother Junyang, tell me now!”
Generally, if Shi Qingxue played the woman to this point, Mo Junyang would have no backbone and spill the beans.
But!
This time, Mo Junyang just shrugged and smiled helplessly. “I really don’t know.”
Shi Qingxue still didn’t give up but stared at Mo Junyang. After quite a while, seeing that his expression was the same and he didn’t seem to lie to her, she believed him, although he always liked to cheat others.
The excitement on her face faded in an instant. She snorted with displeasure. “I don’t know the most crucial clue, and I am so annoyed. It’s pointless even if we say so much.”
She was frustrated.
“Why are you anxious? Even if we don’t know now, we can find it soon after investigation.” Mo Junyang was still at leisure and looked as calm as before.
But Shi Qingxue didn’t believe him and blinked in doubt. “Didn’t you say that there is only a date written in the note? What can you find?”
Anyway she didn’t believe that Mo Junyang was so capable.
“How about we make a bet?” Mo Junyang giggled and brought up the opening words casually.
Shi Qingxue nodded before thinking. “Okay. We will bet if you can find the evidence in Zhou Ruyu’s hands. If you can, you win, and otherwise, I will win.”
“Okay. What’s the stake?”
“What do you want?”
Mo Junyang smiled and expressed casually but firmly, “If I win, I want you to marry me.”
Although Mo Junyang had talked about this matter with Shi Junhe long ago and Shi Qingxue knew his determination to marry her, and she even agreed silently, she never talked about this with Mo Junyang because she was shy.
Unexpectedly, Mo Junyang proposed marriage to her all of a sudden.
She was scared, and at the same time, her face was burning uncontrollably.
Qingxue lowered her head with shyness and complained in a low voice, “How can you ask me about this to my face? Didn’t you discuss the marriage with Father? Why do you ask me?”
Even though she was always bold and unrestrained, she couldn’t hide the shyness of a young girl.
Mo Junyang was “shameless” and even asked her directly. It annoyed her.
Unexpectedly, Mo Junyang didn’t shrink back but explained solemnly, “What others said is pointless. Their promises don’t work in my eyes. I just want to hear you say that you agree to marry me…”
Shi Qingxue was shocked by his cautious expression and soon understood why Mo Junyang was persistent to do that.
She pondered for a while and then nodded in agreement. “Okay. I accept this stake.”
She thought for a moment and then added with a snort, “But I tell you in advance that since you take this matter as a bet, if you lose, I won’t agree to marry you.”
Shi Qingxue raised her beautiful chin and intentionally looked ferocious, staring at Mo Junyang.
Humph! Why did he take something like this as a bet?
After waiting for long, Mo Junyang finally heard Shi Qingxue agree. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would figure out a way to get them, so he naturally said yes.
But Shi Qingxue couldn’t help thinking, “Even if Mo Junyang is so capable as to go to the sky, he can’t find the old stories decades ago easily.”
“Hum! I will wait for the good news from you!”
