Chapter 96: Simp
Ni Mengxue sensed the change in the temperature the moment their RV exited the Rily Forest. With Meng Xiaoni’s assistance, they crossed it without any hitch.
What surprised her was the slight change in Meng Xiaoni’s attitude. He wasn’t as cold as he was yesterday. To others, he was still the same, but to her, who knew him, she caught it right away.
Staring straight into her eyes when they talked, subtly mentioning how she could conserve energy and even mentioning a few unrelated yet informative facts about the Burning Star base and Su Yao.
All of these were signs that he was warming up to her.
What relieved her more was his family in this life. In her previous life, he had a family that had abused him since birth, causing him to develop autism. Even when he died... they were just after his research about super cells.
But in this life, he had been raised by a family who loved him to the point that they broke off contact with, took the blame for plagiarism, and even negotiated with Su Yao to keep him safe.
Lu Yucai had told her about Su Yao’s husband’s good deed of framing Meng Xiaoni and having him pay to redeem his own family.
Ni Mengxue just felt that they were dreaming. She suspected that Su Yao had killed Ruo Chiwu, and now she knew that even her husband had suffered so much at that bitch’s hands...
The old and the new grudge will all be settled, and if she didn’t empty the treasury of that bitch and have her cry blood tears for scheming against her Xiaoni, she wouldn’t be the heir of the Ni family.
As they reached the entrance, the guards stopped the RV, and everyone had to step out to get verified. When the guards noticed Ni Mengxue, their expressions changed.
Two of the guards, dressed in red uniforms, calmly walked inside, while the guards at the entrance looked at Ni Mengxue sternly.
"Miss Ni, if you are to cause trouble for our base leader, then please leave."
"Hm? I am just here to stay temporarily... looks like I have a rather bad reputation here." Ni Mengxue smiled like an angel.
The guard’s expression became even colder. "Miss Ni, I will say this once: if you can’t appreciate our boss’s kindness..."
"Do I have to listen to your lecture just so I can enter? It looks like I need to have a good talk with my cousin." Ni Mengxue gave a bright smile as she interrupted him.
The people behind Ni Mengxue all covered their faces in embarrassment. Especially Lu Yucai’s subordinates; they wished... that Ruo Chiwu was there to rein in this little tyrant.
Just when a deadlock appeared, and Ni Mengxue was debating whether to drop her plans completely and take revenge on behalf of her husband or pretend to be nice, enter the base, and cause chaos, a gentle voice echoed.
"What is going on here?"
Subconsciously, everyone turned in that direction, and a handsome man with intellectual beauty, blonde hair, fair skin, a tall build, and a healthy complexion appeared in their vision.
Meng Xiaoni subconsciously clenched his fist and glared at the newcomer with concealed hatred.
[Ding! Target Meng Xiaoni’s death date has been accelerated; please avoid his death to unlock his route.]
Ni Mengxue stared at the notification for a while before looking at the blonde-haired man. Mo Beichan. The name popped into her mind automatically.
The traitor who stole his own student’s invention and acted like an angel.
Mo Beichan sensed Ni Mengxue’s gaze and chuckled internally, ’Still the same lustful brat. Meng Xiaoni is doomed in this life. He would never know what true love is! Unlike me, who has loving Yao’er by my side!’
Yet on the surface, he pretended to be delighted. "Miss Ni? It has been such a long time since we have seen each other."
His tone was soft, and combined with his peach blossom eyes, he looked perfectly charming. Previous Ni Mengxue might have drooled over him and might have flirted.
However, current Ni Mengxue only nodded coldly, and even her words came out sharp: "Mr. Mo, I never thought we were so close that you would miss me."
Mo Beichan was taken aback, while Meng Xiaoni paused for a brief moment. For a flicker of a moment, he felt fleeting joy that Ni Mengxue didn’t fall for Mo Beichan.
"Miss Ni, I was just being polite." Mo Beichan regained his composure and said softly, "Please get inside. My wife has already kept an accommodation clear for you. Unfortunately, she is out on a mission and won’t be returning any time soon. So this visit might be for nothing."
Ni Mengxue arched a brow and thought silently, ’Must be plot armour. If she dares to appear in front of me... I dare to kill her.’
But she wanted to see how long this so-called female lead could run away from her.
As Mo Beichan led them inside, his eyes were fixed on the RV, which was being parked in the parking area. Suddenly, he let out a sigh and said,
"Nowadays, I can’t travel outside the base. I have been frail since birth, and now the conditions outside have become harsher. If only there were a solution, I would definitely thank that person."
Towards the last sentence, he even winked at Ni Mengxue. His hidden meaning was clear.
Meng Xiaoni clenched his fist and subconsciously wanted to advise her not to give away the RV, but he heard her say,
"Really, then I have a solution and a reward that I want. Mr. Mo, you won’t back out on your word, right?"
A familiar sinking and cold feeling spread across Meng Xiaoni’s body, and he started to wonder if even Ni Mengxue was charmed by this bastard Mo.
Mo Beichan gave a smug look to Meng Xiaoni before saying enthusiastically, "I won’t, Miss Ni!"
’She is still a simp for me!’
