Chapter 417

"Did that guy take the wrong medicine today?"

Han Yu was also startled by Yao Shi's crazy behavior earlier.

Just how much force was contained in that slap? You could tell from the loud sound alone.

She's so ruthless to herself, what's wrong with Yao Shi today?

.

"As the young master's maid, it is my duty to care for him, but I feel it is unfair that he gets too close to other girls. This is a disgrace to me as a maid."

As Yao Shi stepped out of the store, she silently gazed at Wu Liang and Su Qian in the distance, covering her burning cheek with one hand and giving a self-deprecating smile.

Regardless of how the young master views her, as his personal maid, she should serve him wholeheartedly.

Instead of acting like a little girl caught in the whirlwind of love, mindlessly being jealous and expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Even if the young master has never shown me any particular tenderness or care, I don't think I would lose to them."

Yao Shi shook her head, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in her mind.

In this world, no one understands the young master better than her...

Chapter 73: Wu Liang Needs a New Plan

When Su Qian arrived at the platform at the agreed time, she found that Wu Liang had been waiting for her for a long time.

The slight sweat beading on his forehead showed that he had been waiting there for some time.

This puzzled and confused Su Qian, as she knew Wu Liang rarely invited girls out shopping, let alone invited her alone.

Su Qian believed that Wu Liang would rather stay at home playing video games and sleeping than go out shopping, eating, and watching movies with her.

After all, based on her understanding of Wu Liang, he wasn't exactly a very outgoing guy; on the contrary, he was somewhat of a homebody.

She didn't believe that Wu Liang was simply bored and that's why he asked her to go shopping together; there was definitely some secret behind it that she didn't know.

"Why did you suddenly decide to ask me to go shopping? This isn't like you at all, Wu Liang."

Su Qian took out a light blue handkerchief from her backpack and handed it to Wu Liang with an elegant smile, all the shyness and restraint she had shown in front of Su Chengluo earlier vanished.

The elegant student council president is back, her every move exuding the grace of a noble lady, a meaningful smile playing on her slightly upturned lips.

Although she still doesn't understand what Wu Liang is up to, as long as she follows his plan, Wu Liang will eventually be exposed.

"Isn't your attitude changing a little too quickly, President Su Qian?"

"When I was at your house a few days ago, you weren't as confident and composed as you are now."

Wu Liang took the handkerchief offered by the other party, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shrugged helplessly.

The Su Qian used to blush and feel shy about pretending to be a couple is gone. The Su Qian of today has returned to her former cunning and sly president persona.

The smile on her face at that moment was particularly unsettling to him. If he could, he would much rather spend more time with the shy and timid Su Qian.

"Ahem, back then, we had to pretend to be a couple, so we had to act like a soft girl."

"If I hadn't acted more intimately, boldly, and shyly at the time, my father would have noticed."

(Wu Liang: That's a real shame. Su Chengluo not only discovered the truth a long time ago, but he even personally got involved and acted alongside you and me... But to be honest... your father acted better than you...)

When Su Qian recalled the intimate moments she and Wu Liang had shared at home, her face flushed, and she coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.

The reason she showed such a girlish side was simply to better fit the fake relationship between the lovers.

It wasn't because she was actually shy. Well, no, she was just pretending to be shy for her parents' benefit.

"Yes, that's true. How could President Su Qian possibly show that soft and cute side in front of outsiders?"

"After all, you are the student council president who is loved by thousands of students, a perfect leader who is both elegant and shrewd (cunning)."

Wu Liang raised his hands in surrender and smiled. Compared to the shy and coquettish Su Qian he had seen at the Su Family, he was more used to her now.

After all, Su Qian's character is supposed to be a shrewd and somewhat cunning senior, so if she deviates too much from that character, it would seem rather strange to him.

Besides, he has already reached an agreement with both the Su Family and Wu Xingsheng, so he doesn't need to focus all his attention on this matter.

The most troublesome thing right now is the Nan Zhu. Recently, due to various trivial matters, he has forgotten about the plot-based killing ability he possesses.

Summer is almost over, his time has been reduced by a quarter, and his inevitable death a year from now is drawing ever closer.

However, he hasn't even managed to match up a single female lead yet, which is absolutely terrible news.

Neither He Xue nor Su Qian clearly had any interest in Nan Zhu; at most, they regarded him as a slightly better friend.

Instead, he inadvertently flirted with He Xue and Su Qian from head to toe, almost to the point of kissing them.

"This is terrible... who the hell is the male lead anyway...?"

Thinking of this, Wu Liang suddenly felt a stomachache. He was supposed to be helping the male and female protagonists reach a truly perfect ending, but instead, he ended up getting himself involved in the process.

Logically speaking, the person standing here today on a date with Su Qian should be the male protagonist of this story, not this villainous young master Wu Liang.

"Isn't this a complete mess?"

A slap landed heavily on his forehead, making a crisp sound.

Wu Liang stared at Su Qian, who was bewildered by his self-harm, with a bitter and helpless expression.

No, there's still hope. He should still have a chance to bring this distorted plot back on track.

Nan Zhu is now a member of the student council, so she has many opportunities to interact with Su Qian.

Although Su Qian isn't really interested in Nan Zhu right now, in her mind Nan Zhu's still an excellent man.

Interests can be cultivated; no couple is attracted to each other from the very beginning.

Liking someone is something that develops gradually over time. Through continuous contact and understanding, both parties will eventually develop feelings for each other. (Except for special cases like love at first sight.)

"Moreover, according to the original plot development, the Nan Zhu, who has already become a member of the student council, will eventually become the new student council president because of Su Qian's approval."

"So as long as I can give Su Qian a completely new understanding of Nan Zhu, she'll eventually discover that Nan Zhu is a shining gem." (Wu Liang: Gold always shines!)

Wu Liang stroked his chin and murmured softly. It was now quite difficult to match He Xue and the male lead together, since He Xue had developed feelings for him that went beyond friendship.

But Su Qian is different. He and Su Qian are just ordinary friends, and he still has a chance to salvage the relationship.

We can put He Xue aside for now; the priority right now is to create some sparks between Su Qian and the male lead.

"But how can I make Su Qian truly fall in love with the male lead...?"

Wu Liang frowned and kept shaking his leg. Damn it, he had to quickly come up with a foolproof way to bring the plot back on track.

In any case, the most important thing now is to successfully bring together a couple.

"Aren't you spacing out for too long, Wu Liang?"

"It is very impolite to leave a lady standing there in a daze."

Su Qian walked quickly to Wu Liang's side, took his arm, and smiled faintly.

"I want to go to the clothing store."

Su Qian tiptoed and whispered in Wu Liang's ear.

Chapter 74: The Freezing Air Inside the Clothing Store

This is a fairly well-known women's clothing store.

Moreover, this store has an unusually wide variety of lingerie, including sexy black lace openwork zipper panties, cute and adorable pink cat bras, and many other anime girl merchandise from the same brand.

It has a good reputation among female students and young women, and its reasonably priced and high-quality clothing attracts many women to shop here.

Because it was the weekend, there were many people in the clothing store, but it wasn't crowded.

Su Qian didn't know why Wu Liang had specifically asked her to come out today, and she was somewhat surprised by this sudden invitation.

However, it had been a while since she had gone shopping with anyone, so it was a good way to kill some time.

"That guy is pretty strange."

Su Qian was picking out a long dress in the clothing store, smiled gently and peeked out to look at Wu Liang, who was sitting in the corner waiting.

What's wrong with this guy today? He's actually staying with me and shopping like a normal person.

If Han Yu and Miss Shi knew about this, they would probably criticize him behind his back, saying that Wu Liang only called them by name and not them.

However, Wu Liang did seem a bit strange today, and even a little absent-minded. Was she preoccupied? Or was it really that difficult for her to go shopping with him?

"He was the one who invited me out, but now he's leaving me all alone here...?"

Su Qian glanced at the dazzling array of lace-trimmed lingerie displayed in the adjacent cabinet.

Then his gaze fell on Wu Liang, who was sitting alone in the corner, lost in thought, and a malicious smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Since he's come out to play with me, he should act like he's having fun, instead of sitting there lifeless and silent like a stone.

"Tsk, Nan Zhu doesn't know how to behave properly in front of Su Qian. Now I can't even find a suitable reason to speak up for him."

"Besides, Su Qian isn't interested in Nan Zhu right now, so making my intentions too obvious would only have the opposite effect."

Wu Liang murmured softly, pressing his throbbing temples. His furrowed brows and pensive expression attracted the attention of many young women around him.

After all, he is a handsome man with a physique comparable to a top male model, so few women could resist taking a second look at him.

Not to mention that the girls around her were all young and beautiful, around eighteen or twenty years old, just beginning to experience romantic feelings and harboring rosy fantasies.

With his handsome looks and extraordinary temperament, Wu Liang naturally attracted these young girls in the throes of first love.

Especially with three or four ordinary men around him acting as supporting characters, Wu Liang stood out among these boys.

His handsome features, streamlined muscles, and aesthetically pleasing physique have made him the perfect man in the eyes of these young girls.

"Hey, look at that guy over there, he's so handsome."

"Should we go up and ask for his contact information or something? He's so handsome! Look at his eyes, they're like those of a melancholy prince, oh my god!!"

"How come you can't control yourself when you see a handsome guy? Didn't you just meet a boyfriend you met online last week? Have you changed your mind so quickly?"

"What? That guy isn't handsome at all, he's just photoshopped. He looks incredibly ordinary in real life, and he even has a hairy mole near his mouth. He's so ugly! Just thinking about him makes me furious. I hate those Photoshopped liars the most."

"Didn't you say you were going to a hotel with someone? Did you break up with it later?"

"Sleep with that shit! I'm kicking him out! He should take a good look at himself in the mirror. If he had even a fifth of this handsome guy's physique and looks, I'd be head over heels in love with him!"

A woman wearing hot pants and showing off her beautiful legs crossed her arms and spoke with displeasure.

The thought of meeting her online boyfriend in person made her want to vomit, and the distorted expression on her face made her exquisite makeup look somewhat terrifying.

"Let's go ask that guy for his WeChat or something. If it works out, we'll make a fortune."

The girl in hot pants pulled her phone out from between her snow-white breasts and asked her companion a question.

Out of the corner of her eye, she would occasionally glance at Wu Liang's handsome face and his muscular forearms.

She had never hooked a man of this caliber before; she would be happy to do it even if she had to pay him.

If she could actually hook up with such a perfect guy, she'd probably be ecstatic just from holding his hand.

"Come on, didn't you see he has a girlfriend? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"Didn't you say you would never seduce a married man? Didn't you say before that you hated mistresses the most?"

Wearing light summer clothes that revealed her fair belly, another young woman with light makeup pointed to Su Qian not far away.

The two people who came in earlier were arm in arm, and anyone with eyes could tell they were a couple.

Although this girl likes to sleep with handsome guys, she never tries to seduce guys who already have girlfriends. She still understands the last shred of moral bottom line.

"Ugh... Damn it... But that handsome guy is so tempting..."
