Chapter 761: Chapter 369: Overthinking Chapter 761: Chapter 369: Overthinking Upon arriving at Mysterious Lake Residence, Zhou Han soon realized she had overthought things.

Liu Wentian didn’t even disdain her family background; he didn’t even ask what her family did, simply making casual conversation in a gentle tone.

She almost doubted whether this softly-spoken person in front of her was the same one who had previously been cold-faced, ordering people to break Yan Lihui’s limbs and ruin him in that way!!

During this time, the owner of Mysterious Lake Residence–a slightly overweight middle-aged man–made a special trip to offer them a toast and waived their bill.

Liu Wentian said there was no need for such courtesy, but the owner absolutely refused to take any money. Eventually, Liu Wentian smiled and thanked the man for his hospitality, which almost made the owner’s chubby face blossom into a smile.

Being treated to a meal seemed like a grand favor to Zhou Han, and it made her respect Liu Wentian even more.

Her mind was all over the place until they left, when Liu Wentian told Li Chengbin to treat people well, finally allowing her to relax.

At the same time, she thought about those so-called proud sons of heaven at school who were about the same age as Brother Tian. They always acted so mature and steady, but compared to Brother Tian, they were just childishly incomparable.

…

On the way back to the Morning Dew Flower Shop.

Li Chuyue sat in the passenger seat, looking at Liu Wentian and chided, “That poor girl was almost scared to death by you just now.”

Liu Wentian had a speechless expression, he himself was quite amiable, wasn’t he?

And besides, what did she mean by ‘that poor girl’? He wasn’t that much older than her!

“Alright, what do you think of her? Is she suitable for Chengbin?” Although Li Chuyue wouldn’t really blame Liu Wentian for anything, it was purely because Zhou Han was overly nervous earlier. She obviously valued Liu Wentian’s opinion greatly when she brought it up.

Liu Wentian nodded and said, “Her personality is not bad and she doesn’t seem to have any schemes. She looks okay, probably has a poor family background and is a bit insecure, but family background doesn’t really matter.”

He himself didn’t come from a wealthy family, and he judged people by their character, not their family background.

Hearing Liu Wentian speak like this, Li Chuyue also had an idea, nodded her head, and glanced at him as she said, “I heard from Xiaobin that Zhou Han is the department beauty of the foreign languages faculty, and you say she looks just ‘okay’? Your standards are really high, you know.”

Liu Wentian did not argue; each of his women was uniquely beautiful, how could his standards not be high?

He suddenly remembered something and asked, “Didn’t you call me a few days ago, saying you had something to tell me? What is it that you couldn’t have told me then and had to wait until I was back to discuss in person?”

Li Chuyue then remembered something as well, gave Liu Wentian a sharp look and snorted, “What is it? It’s about Bai Ruguo! She actually came knocking on our door!!”

“What??”

Liu Wentian was so shocked that his hand slipped, almost crashing the car into the railing beside them.

After stabilizing the car, he quickly asked, “Bai Ruguo came to the Morning Dew Flower Shop to see you? What did she want?”

He thought, could it be that girl had been calling him these past few days, speaking hesitantly, and it was related to this?

Li Chuyue snorted and said, “The great Bai Ruguo came to declare war on me, saying she likes you too and wants to compete with me fairly!!”

Screech!!

The road was deserted at that moment, and Liu Wentian immediately braked hard, bringing the Ferrari to a halt.

Staring dumbfounded at Li Chuyue, Liu Wentian asked in astonishment, “Declare war? Compete fairly?”

Then, he burst into laughter.

Previously, during that night from Long Yuanyang to Bai Family’s estate, Bai Ruguo expressed her feelings, but it was never mentioned again afterward, and he hadn’t brought it up either.

He had thought that the girl had forgotten about it, but to his surprise, she had directly come to declare war on Li Chuyue, even talking about competing fairly, and he was totally unaware.

In an instant, Liu Wentian also realized why Bai Ruguo had been somewhat cold towards him previously.

This girl had long understood the existence of Li Chuyue.

“Yes, compete fairly, you rascal, don’t you feel proud now? The charmer actually thickened her skin to compete with me for you, even blushing and stammering while speaking. If her fans knew about this, you would probably be torn apart by them!” Li Chuyue’s tone was sour.

Liu Wentian knew about his other women, as when he went to Guangyang City to find Qin Keqing, it was she who advised him to go and clear things up.

Regarding Bai Ruguo, she was also mentally prepared; once, she had seen Bai Ruguo kiss Liu Wentian, and thus thought Liu Wentian had changed his heart, causing her to run back to her hometown.

Although later Liu Wentian explained that he and Bai Ruguo had nothing between them, merely pretending to be her boyfriend, and that his job was just to be her bodyguard…

But as a woman, she understood that Bai Ruguo must like Liu Wentian.

Otherwise, why would a Huaxia charmer kiss her bodyguard?

However, understanding it is one thing, her heart still felt sour that she actually came knocking to declare war!!

“Hehe, hehe.” Liu Wentian gave a dry laugh and said, “Not proud, I really don’t understand how she could do such a thing. Our situation is clear.”

“You rascal, are you really saying you have no thoughts about Bai Ruguo?” Li Chuyue huffed.

“Er…” Liu Wentian grinned sheepishly.

How could he not have any thoughts about Bai Ruguo? If he didn’t, why would he care so much about her safety, even planning to go up north in a few days to find Wei Nianlei, the Wei family’s young mistress, to clarify who wanted to kill Bai Ruguo.

Especially after that night when he was bitten by Long Yuanyang’s Gu insect, and Bai Ruguo thought he was going to die–her grief and madness had touched him deeply, as he was not a heartless man.
