Chapter 1689: Miss Nice Girl (52)

Both Gao Lili and Hu Xiaolan believed that there was no way such a handsome man would genuinely choose an ordinary-looking girl like Tang Guo.

Either he was blind, or he had some sort of flaw himself.

Especially Gao Lili. She had already started asking around indirectly about Baili Sheng.

Unfortunately, her social circle wasn’t broad enough. She couldn’t even find out his name.

Since Baili Sheng’s family wasn’t from this city, no one knew that many shopping malls, supermarkets, gyms, and other businesses outside were all his.

Who would have imagined that he was such a wealthy and outstanding man?

If they ever found out, they would probably die of jealousy.

Although Gao Lili hadn’t discovered who Baili Sheng really was, that didn’t stop her from dressing up beautifully and deliberately appearing in front of him. At the very least, judging by his clothes, he seemed to have decent taste.

And every single time, Tang Guo was present.

Seeing that woman constantly trying to show herself off, Baili Sheng’s expression would immediately darken.

That evening, he was holding Tang Guo’s hand as they strolled around when Gao Lili appeared in front of them, dressed fashionably with flawless makeup.

She greeted Tang Guo warmly, but her eyes constantly drifted toward Baili Sheng.

Putting everything else aside, the man really was handsome enough that Gao Lili even thought she wouldn’t mind throwing herself at him. Even if marriage wasn’t possible, dating him would still be worthwhile.

“Tang Guo, this is your boyfriend, right? Aren’t you going to introduce him?” Gao Lili asked sweetly.

Baili Sheng squeezed Tang Guo’s hand slightly and didn’t even spare Gao Lili a glance.

Tang Guo pursed her lips and smiled, stepping slightly in front of him.

“Haven’t you already said it yourself? He’s my boyfriend.”

Gao Lili was displeased and was about to continue when Tang Guo spoke again.

“My boyfriend is a bit shy. Ever since he was little, he’s suffered from a condition. Other than me, he’s terrified of all women, so he won’t be chatting with you.”

Baili Sheng: Terrified of women? Fine. If she says I’m terrified, then I’m terrified. Though this woman in front of me really is a bit frightening.

Shy???

Forget it. He’d just accept being shy.

“Gao Lili, we’ll be leaving now. My boyfriend seems to have been frightened. I need to take him home and comfort him.”

Tang Guo’s explanation left Gao Lili dumbfounded.

What kind of reason was that?

But seeing Baili Sheng actually hiding behind Tang Guo without any intention of greeting her, she found herself believing it a little.

“Bye, Gao Lili. My boyfriend’s been scared badly. I have to hurry home and comfort him. If I don’t soothe him right away, he’ll be impossible to coax later.”

Gao Lili stood there in disbelief as Tang Guo led Baili Sheng away by the hand.

“Xiao Guo, now you can comfort me.”

Once they returned home, Baili Sheng sat seriously on the sofa and declared, “If you don’t comfort me now, I really won’t be easy to soothe later.”

“Your roommate is terrifying. She genuinely scared me.” He deliberately put on a frightened expression. “I need comforting right now.”

The system rolled its eyes.

What shameless opportunism. When this man acted spoiled, there was hardly any room left for women to compete.

But...

Host would definitely comfort him.

The flirtations of adults were beyond the system’s understanding.

“And how exactly can Brother Sheng be comforted?” Tang Guo asked with amusement. “I don’t have much experience comforting people.”

The system snorted inwardly.

Who was she trying to fool? Only someone like this reincarnated fellow, who had lost all his memories, would believe that.

Baili Sheng actually thought about it seriously before finally opening his arms.

“How about you hug me? Just one hug, and I’ll feel comforted. One hug will be enough to cheer me up.”
