Chapter 183 - 182 Ulterior Motives
"Could it be that I misunderstood him, that his saving Qiaoqiao was just a coincidence? There’s no hidden agenda, or is it that I stayed up late last night working on a collaboration, causing my charm to wane?"
Shen Manjun began to mutter to herself, questioning her own allure for the first time.
"No, this guy is a pervert. How could he ignore me? Could it be that he’s playing hard to get?"
Shen Manjun scrutinized Lu Tianxing carefully, hoping to detect some change in his expression, but unfortunately, she was disappointed. Lu Tianxing was chatting and laughing with Qiaoqiao, paying her no attention at all, as if she was just an ordinary woman, unworthy of a second glance.
It’s such a strange, contradictory phenomenon with women: when a man shows interest in her, she thinks he’s a lecher and accuses him of being a hooligan. Yet when a man shows no interest, she doubts her own charm, suspecting the man might be playing hard to get, deliberately trying to attract her attention.
Women are such contradictory creatures. When you look at her, she thinks you’re being lecherous, but when you don’t, she wonders if her charm has faded or if you’re intentionally acting this way to get her attention.
Lu Tianxing never denied his appreciation for beautiful women, but he was never so lascivious that he would forget his own name upon seeing one. That would not be a liking for beauty but outright lechery.
"Harboring ulterior motives?"
Hearing Shen Manjun’s words, the corners of Lu Tianxing’s mouth curled slightly upwards as he looked at Shen Manjun with a meaningful gaze and said, "Miss Shen, have you forgotten what I told you last time? I harbor ulterior motives, but what motives did I say I had?"
