Chapter 33: Is Your Heart True

Two bowls of spicy hot pot were soon finished. He Huanhuan happily held the Coke and drank, saying, "Isn't this little bit incredibly delicious?"

Han Mo wiped his mouth and nodded with a smile, "It's quite delicious."

His smile was always like this, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a very proper smile.

There was a hint of aloofness in the politeness.

He Huanhuan glanced at him and said nothing.

After finishing the spicy hot pot, Han Mo drove her home.

This time, he still accompanied her upstairs.

The living room on the third floor was filled with the things they bought today, so many that there was hardly any space to put one's feet.

Han Mo rolled up his sleeves and said voluntarily, "Let me help you tidy up."

So the two of them began to unpack those so - called blind boxes. He Huanhuan had just gotten to know them today.

Therefore, she was very happy no matter what she unpacked.

"This is the one with big eyes!"

"Yes, it's quite cute."

"This is the one with wings!"

"Yes."

"...."

After unpacking and putting all the things away, the third floor instantly felt more lively.

There were dolls in each room, the dolls that they had seen together, bought together, and unpacked together.

Looking at these dolls, the corners of Han Mo's mouth involuntarily turned up.

This third floor finally seemed like someone was really living here.

Not just staying temporarily, but completely belonging to someone.

He looked down at He Huanhuan and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Han Mo."

He Huanhuan suddenly called out to him, "Are you happy today?"

Han Mo nodded, "Naturally. Why do you ask?"

He Huanhuan stared at him, with very complicated emotions in her eyes. "Why did you take me shopping?"

Since they started going from floor to floor, she knew that today's goal of Han Mo was this.

To take her shopping, to let her spend money.

To let her buy all the things she thought were good.

To make her happy.

This was his goal today.

But what was the real purpose behind this goal?

To please her? Or to please Old Mr. Gu?

Was the ultimate goal the project in the east city?

The two stared at each other in silence, and that aloof smile returned to his face. "Your room is too empty. I just wanted to fill it up. That's all."

As for the deeper thoughts, did they matter?

Wasn't she happy?

He Huanhuan nodded, "Okay, I got it."

She felt a bit unhappy, but she couldn't tell why.

Wasn't she happy today?

When she got back to the real world, when Qi Meili and the others talked about Pop Mart, she would never be at a loss for words again.

She could have a great chat with them. She could...

She plopped down on the sofa. Damn this wealth! Damn herself!

In the past, when she saw the so - called troubles of the rich on the Internet, she only thought it was so pretentious.

Extremely pretentious.

If you're rich, what else do you have to be unhappy about?

What are you pretending for?

If you're unhappy, just go to work. After working for two days, you won't have any troubles.

Now that she was really living in such a wealthy life, somehow, she was also unhappy.

She was unhappy even when someone spent money on her and someone coaxed her.

Why should she care about his ultimate purpose of coaxing her?

Did it matter?

He really spent money on her.

He helped her ask the shop assistants one by one about the differences between those dolls.

Wasn't that enough?

But she just was unhappy.

"Ah ah ah..."

She kicked the air in frustration. What on earth was she unhappy about?

"Sister Huan, are you pedaling a bicycle?"

Gu Jinghan's annoying voice sounded. He Huanhuan glared at him angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Jinghan grinned and came closer, asking, "Are you unhappy?"

He Huanhuan's attitude got even worse, "None of your business!"

Gu Jinghan had a really thick skin and kept chasing after her, asking, "Why? Tell me. Maybe I can help you."

He Huanhuan glanced at him. His slovenly appearance made him seem very unreliable.

But she was really unhappy, so she told him what had happened today.

She couldn't help but ask, "You said, for the project in the east city, he could go to such lengths. What kind of person is he? How could he be like this!"

But there was a big smile on Gu Jinghan's face. "Oh, he's really putting a lot of effort into it. Isn't that great!"

In their circle, arranged marriages were the norm.

People would tacitly act out a play with each other. On festivals, you'd give me a gift, and I'd accompany you home to pretend to be affectionate...

This was already considered quite cooperative.

Gu Jinghan really admired Han Mo for being able to do this.

He propped his chin up and reflected, "No wonder I can't get close to the eldest sister. I'm still not putting in enough effort."

He Huanhuan almost rolled her eyes to the sky. Was this guy here to help her solve her doubts?

He was here to learn!

Did he pay the tuition? And he just started learning?

Was he a sponge?

She kicked Gu Jinghan angrily, "Get out of here! I'm annoyed just looking at you!"

What a nuisance!

Gu Jinghan left with a grin. But when he reached the door, he suddenly said seriously, "Huanhuan, have you ever thought that your unhappiness is because you care. You're starting to care whether his heart is sincere or not."

"What do you mean?"

Her heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Gu Jinghan, but Gu Jinghan started joking again, "It means you've grown up. Growing up is great! When you grow up, you can have an arranged marriage~"

"Get out!"

After driving Gu Jinghan out, He Huanhuan lay on the bed angrily.

Involuntarily, Gu Jinghan's words flashed through her mind.

Did she care whether his heart was sincere or not?

She couldn't help but shake her head, trying to shake these thoughts out of her mind.

How could she care about this?

Wasn't Han Mo just trying to please her to please Old Mr. Gu?

She had always known this!

Why should she care about this?

Wasn't she just getting along with him because he was generous and willing to coax her?

What was there for her to be unhappy about?

Right!

There was nothing for her to be unhappy about!

She was just here on vacation to relax. When she got back to the real world, she would almost be an adult.

Then she would have to start working to earn money to pay off debts.

Putting all those meaningless thoughts aside, she lay in bed and told herself.

Just have fun and don't think too much.

All of this here has nothing to do with you.

You're just a sassy girl.

At Chen Yu's place, Han Mo was standing on the balcony making a phone call. The person on the other end of the phone spoke with a thick accent. "We've made contact. The progress is very smooth. He's very excited and didn't suspect a thing."

Han Mo nodded, "Good. Give him more commission and let him taste the sweetness."

The person on the other end hesitated, "But..."

"I'll cover the extra money."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu walked up to him and handed him a glass of wine. "It's starting?"

He tightened his grip on the glass and nodded, "It should have started a long time ago."

Chen Yu looked at him and asked, "Are you really not going to marry that He Huanhuan?"

He glanced at Chen Yu coldly, "My business has nothing to do with others."

Chen Yu hesitated, "But you've tried so hard to please her..."

Since he had gone to so much trouble to please her, why not just marry her?

Then Old Mr. Gu would trust him more, and it would be more convenient for him to act!

He tightened his grip on the glass even more and looked down towards the east.

The night had completely hidden it. No one knew what kind of hustle and bustle it would become.

"Chen Yu."

He said in a low voice, "Hatred has nothing to do with marriage."

His parents' marriage was a joke. He wouldn't let his own marriage become a joke either.

He could stay single for the rest of his life.

But he would never marry someone he didn't love just for revenge and torture each other.
