Mo Shixiu froze.
He looked at Jiang Luoli in shock. “Miss Jiang, you…”
“I believe you, Mr. Mo.” Jiang Luoli swirled the wine in her glass and smiled at him flirtatiously. “If I’m drunk, can you send me home? Anyway, you sent me home once before, so you know where I live.”
Mo Shixiu looked at the smiling girl opposite him and tightened his grip on the wine glass. For a few seconds, his heartbeat accelerated.
Was he a gentleman in her eyes?
Did she think that she would be safe with him?
Did she ever think that he might not be a gentleman?
If he was a gentleman, he wouldn’t have touched her that night.
Although he was forced by the circumstances, only he knew clearly that he had completely lost his rationality back then and let himself go.
He’d thought about it after that night.
If the woman he met that night wasn’t her, what would he do?
If he’d fallen into his opponent’s trap and met the woman they’d arranged for him, would he still let himself go?
He already knew the answer.
If it wasn’t for her, many things wouldn’t have happened.
Even though he’d been drugged, it wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t tolerate it anymore. As long as he was willing to persevere, he could endure till he got to the hospital.
So, why didn’t he go to the hospital?
He was actually… not as gentlemanly as she thought.
That night, he was a villain.
He took advantage of her.
Her looks were the type he liked.
Hence, when she stumbled into his arms, he didn’t push her away. Instead, he hugged her.
What happened next was very natural.
“You trust me that much?” Mo Shixiu looked at Jiang Luoli with a complicated expression.
“That’s right.” Jiang Luoli took another sip of red wine and looked at him with narrowed eyes. “Mr. Mo is a gentleman, it’s safe to be with you.”
Mo Shixiu looked at her and hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice, “If I say that I’m not a gentleman, what would Miss Jiang think?”
“Ah?” Jiang Luoli was stunned. “Mr. Mo, you…”
“Miss Jiang, we’ve only met twice. You don’t know what kind of person I am. If you think I’m a gentleman just from those two interactions, you might be disappointed one day,” Mo Shixiu said seriously.
Jiang Luoli was speechless.
Mo Shixiu looked at her and said, “Miss Jiang, have you heard of this before?”
Jiang Luoli asked, “What?”
Mo Shixiu said, “It’s hard for a man to maintain his image as a gentleman in front of the woman he likes. If a man is an absolute gentleman in front of you, it only shows that he doesn’t like you enough.”
Jiang Luoli was speechless.
“So, I don’t want Miss Jiang to think of me as a gentleman.”
Jiang Luoli didn’t expect to be teased in the end.
“Mr. Mo, can I ask you a question? Can you answer me honestly?” She didn’t believe that he’d never been in a relationship before!
