Avoid the Protagonist! - Chapter 299

Ch.299 Awkward Meal (1)

Mo Bei felt nothing towards this underage girl.

However, he didn’t dislike being with her either.

She was pure and innocent, revealing her emotions on her face.

Just like how she angrily ate her steak, stabbing at it because he had called her “underage.”

Mo Bei knew that she was purposely making the noises, so he also said purposely, “Before I came, my grandmother told me that I’ll be seeing a beautiful woman with great upbringing and manners, but…”

She hurriedly lifted her head to look at him and asked nervously, “Am I not beautiful?”

Mo Bei met her sparkling and doey eyes, and then he looked at her features. She was delicate-looking and when she wasn’t talking, she was quite sweet-tempered and gentle.

Therefore, Mo Bei responded honestly, “You’re beautiful.”

When Nian Weicheng heard him complimenting her, she felt proud and smiled happily. “I knew it! Since I’m so beautiful, do you want to like me?”

“Pft…”

Mo Bei felt like he was getting old. Otherwise, why did he feel like he couldn’t catch up to this young girl’s thoughts?

Later on, on the way back, he asked for her phone number.

Of course, he was just doing this so that he could report back to his family.

But she wasn’t stupid either. She retorted, “What about your number then?”

Mo Bei looked at her, not really wanting to give her his number.

“I already told you my number, so wouldn’t it be unfair if I don’t get your number?”

Mo Bei stayed silent.

“Give me your number. I promise to not disturb you.”

Mo Bei couldn’t tolerate her acting cute, so he shoved his business card in her hand in the end. She placed it inside her wallet delicately as if treating a treasure.

Mo Bei looked at her but said nothing. But after she got out of the car, he looked at the unfamiliar chain of numbers on his phone. He named the contact: underage girl.

What Mo Bei didn’t know was that she was incredibly clingy. She was clearly lying when she said that she wouldn’t disturb him if there weren’t any serious matters.

She called him two to three times a day, and sometimes even more. Each time, she was able to hold the conversation happily.

Mo Bei didn’t even understand why she would feel happy talking about trivial daily matters.

He stayed with her to eat, shop, buy gifts and watch movies.

But he couldn’t replace Chen Sinan in Sheng Wenyang’s heart.

Likewise, Nian Weicheng couldn’t replace Sheng Wenyang in his heart.

Even if he got in a daze whenever he saw her splendid smile.

Sometimes, Mo Bei wondered if he should tell her the truth sooner after seeing how innocent and pure, and worry-free she was.

But because Sheng Wenyang had come to look for her, he didn’t have time to attend to Nian Weicheng.

Sheng Wenyang’s company was about to push out a series of jewelry designs. The theme was “couple forever.”

Sheng Wenyang had drawn the designs out, and she wanted him to give an opinion.

Mo Bei pointed out several things before Sheng Wenyang immediately went to change it.

Therefore, when he picked up Zhuang Zhao’s call, he was still with Sheng Wenyang.

Mo Bei thought that it was just a gathering of friends. Thinking that Sheng Wenyang hadn’t eaten and that she met his friends before, he asked about her opinion before taking her along too.

Who knew that coincidentally, Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue were both here.

Sheng Wenyang and Xin Siyue had gotten into a fight in the past, so Mo Bei didn’t want them to meet.

He tried to relieve the nervous atmosphere by saying, “I was held up by some things, so sorry for coming late.”

Amongst the group, someone with poor hindsight exclaimed, “Beize, I bet you were just busy with your woman! I heard that lately, you’ve been caught in frame with a young girl. I guess you brought her over for us buddies to take a look at!”

Mo Bei’s expression immediately darkened. He didn’t dare to look at Sheng Wenyang. He didn’t know whether she would care or not… or, whether she’d be jealous or angry…

As for Sheng Wenyang who was present, her expression stiffened too.

Mo Bei shouted, “Eat your food and shut your mouth!”

Clearly, this was an awkward meal.

But Mo Bei was surprised that such a proud woman like Sheng Wenyang would actually tolerate this grievance for Chen Sinan.

Chen Sinan was already with Xin Siyue, so why couldn’t she let him go?

Sheng Wenyang’s mood was unstable. Mo Bei waited at the hallway outside the bathroom for a few minutes to see Sheng Wenyang coming out with teary eyes.

He said, “Sheng Wenyang, wake up. You can’t win Xin Siyue.”

“Why?! What’s the reason?” She retorted calmly.

“Because Chen Sinan doesn’t love you.” Mo Bei said, “If a man was at least interested in a woman in the least bit, they wouldn’t just ignore the woman and not ask about their well-being all these years. Since when did he care about your life, work and company? When? Not even once. Wenyang, look at how much he adored and cherished that woman. You two are impossible!”
