Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Gu Muxi’s statement was like an arrow piercing through Ding Bo’s heart.

His heart shattered into pieces.

The goddess actually had a boyfriend!

Oh heavens, why do you play with me so?

If she already had a boyfriend, why did she appear in my world?

Ding Bo clutched at his chest.

The pain was too much to bear!

“Do you really have a boyfriend?” Ding Bo asked again, nearly in tears.

Gu Muxi nodded seriously, “Yes, Senior Ding.”

Suddenly, Ding Bo thought of something.

He had never seen her boyfriend come to pick her up at the company.

With such a beautiful girlfriend, isn’t it normal to keep an eye on her every day, to pick her up and drop her off?

Hmm? No, could it be... Gu Muxi made up an excuse just to reject me?

Very likely!

Ding Bo suddenly saw the light and became suspicious.

He squinted his eyes, staring at Gu Muxi and questioned, “Oh? But I’ve never seen your boyfriend pick you up.”

Gu Muxi was momentarily at a loss for words, her eyes betraying her panic.

When you tell the first lie, you must cover it up with countless others.

It’s most deadly to make up lies on the spot.

Gu Muxi had only come up with an excuse on the fly, not expecting him to keep probing.

Gu Muxi gritted her teeth.

If Ding Bo wasn’t the boss’s nephew and a high achiever in the company, someone you couldn’t afford to offend, Gu Muxi would have already thrown him over her shoulder.

But this internship was hard-earned by her mother’s pleading; getting fired because of offending Ding Bo would waste all her mother’s efforts.

Therefore, Gu Muxi had to endure, knowing that acting on impulse would make it difficult for her mother among her friends.

She didn’t care what others thought of her, but she feared her family would be wronged or criticized because of her.

“Cough cough, my, my boyfriend is usually very busy, he doesn’t have time to pick me up.” Gu Muxi made an excuse.

But her hesitation and contemplative expression were caught by Ding Bo, further convincing him that she was making up an excuse.

“Oh? If your boyfriend doesn’t have time to pick you up after work, doesn’t he have time to drop you off?” Ding Bo questioned.

Gu Muxi paused, at a loss for other explanations when she suddenly saw Yi Feng parking his bike and coming towards them from a distance.

“Ah, well, who says not, today my boyfriend did drop me off at work!”

“Look, there’s my boyfriend!” Gu Muxi turned and pointed towards Yi Feng as he approached.

Ding Bo followed her direction and saw Yi Feng.

“What? Him?”

Ding Bo could hardly believe it because, although Yi Feng was handsome, he wasn’t tall or muscular, certainly not as handsome as himself, and dressed in a very ordinary shirt and trousers, nothing remarkable.

At first glance, you could tell this young man didn’t have much money.

How could Gu Muxi, so beautiful, choose such an ordinary guy?

No, I don’t believe it!

A scene popped into his mind.

Oh no!!!

(;???Д??`)!!

No, I can’t accept this!

How could the goddess be with such an ordinary guy?!

No!

I won’t give up!

“Stop it~” Gu Muxi blushed, pretending to be shy, but secretly pinched Yi Feng’s waist hard.

Yi Feng: “!!!”

Yi Feng’s eyes: Gu Muxi, have you lost your mind? I’m helping you!

Gu Muxi’s eyes: Can’t you tone down your flirtiness?

Yi Feng’s eyes: If I didn’t say that, would he back off?

Gu Muxi’s eyes: Just be normal!

The two exchanged looks, their eyes furiously communicating.

But to Ding Bo, it seemed they were “lovey-dovey” eye-flirting, publically displaying their affection.

That sweet gaze felt like blades stabbing into his heart!

No, I won’t give up!

Since Gu Muxi’s boyfriend is so ordinary, it means I still have a chance.

After all, I’m more outstanding than this kid!

“Cough cough, Gu Muxi, haven’t you had breakfast yet? Let me treat you to the teahouse nearby?” Ding Bo tried to maintain a gentlemanly and elegant demeanor, planning to show off in front of Gu Muxi, highlighting the difference between Yi Feng and himself.

“Teahouse? That’s not good, right? That place is quite expensive, just breakfast costs dozens of yuan, there’s no need for Senior Ding to spend so much.” Gu Muxi declined.

“Hey, hey, it’s not expensive for me at all, and since it’s still early for work, I also want to eat breakfast at the teahouse. If I don’t eat at home, I usually go there. Bringing you guys along makes it more lively, let’s go, let’s all go.” Ding Bo adjusted his clothes, a bit arrogantly.

His words subtly revealed his comfortable living conditions, casually eating breakfast at the teahouse now and then, something an average family couldn’t afford.

This was a bit of a “casual flex.”

Seeing him so persistent in inviting, Gu Muxi really didn’t know how to refuse properly.

If she declined too rudely, it might lead to trouble at work or even getting fired.

What should she do?

Suddenly, Yi Feng took her hand and smiled, “Since Mr. Ding is so kind, it would be rude not to accept, haha!”

“Darling, then let’s go together.”

Gu Muxi was taken aback, surprised at Yi Feng’s sudden agreement.

“Why did you agree? I don’t want to eat with him!” Gu Muxi whispered.

Yi Feng chuckled, “Silly girl, of course, it’s for a free breakfast!”

Gu Muxi: “( ̄w ̄;)......”

Stinky Feng... truly, shameless!
