Chapter 450: Chapter 219: Little Devil (2)

"Second, if you want to be my sister’s boyfriend, you first have to get my approval. At the very least, you have to be better than me at something, right?"

Huh?

After Lin Shen said this, a wave of groans and murmurs erupted from the crowd.

After all, Gu Wanqing’s brother was handsome, had a great physique, and could even sing and play the guitar.

Dressed in luxury brands from head to toe, he clearly wasn’t short on cash either.

’A guy this outstanding, and you expect me to get his approval?’

’How is that even possible?!’

’This is obviously just an excuse he made up because he doesn’t want his sister to date!’

"I hope the people pursuing my sister heard that. Thank you all for your understanding."

After giving another slight bow to the crowd, Lin Shen returned the guitar to its owner and, grabbing Gu Wanqing’s hand, fled the scene as if making a getaway.

He also brought Jiang Wan along with them.

The three of them jogged away, looking as if they were eloping, not stopping until they reached a less crowded area.

"So you were trying to help Qingqing get rid of all the pests around her."

Jiang Wan looked at Lin Shen with a warm smile.

"I was wondering why someone as low-key as you would suddenly start singing in public."

"A little nervous."

Lin Shen said with a wry smile, clutching his chest. His heart was still racing.

"I finally understand why Qingqing’s voice was trembling when she got on stage. For someone with social anxiety, this is definitely a huge challenge."

"Lin Shen."

The intelligent Gu Wanqing quickly understood what Lin Shen had done. She stepped forward, took his arm, and looked up at him, her eyes filled with immense joy and affection.

"Thank you for doing all this for me."

"You’re my little sister, after all,"

Lin Shen joked, affectionately ruffling Gu Wanqing’s hair.

However, this small gesture made her heart ache with resentment. She pouted and suddenly blurted out.

"Lin Shen, it’s one thing to treat me like a sister in public, but why do you still treat me like a sister in private?!"

"Then what should I treat you as?"

Lin Shen’s lighthearted retort almost made Gu Wanqing blurt out, ’I want you to treat me as your girlfriend!’

But when she noticed Jiang Wan’s gentle gaze, the words caught in her throat. In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to say what was on her mind.

Because Gu Wanqing knew very well that Jiang Wan and Lin Shen were the perfect match.

’If I rashly confess my feelings for Lin Shen, wouldn’t that make me the other woman?!’

’Jiang Wan is so good to me, I can’t do something that would wrong her like this!’

’But...’

On one side was her guilt toward Jiang Wan; on the other, her feelings for Lin Shen.

The two intertwined emotions fought a battle on the front lines of Gu Wanqing’s conscience, like two stick figures, one black and one white.

She bit her lip, her expression fraught with conflict.

Seeing this, Lin Shen silently exchanged a look with Jiang Wan, then knelt down slightly, placing his hands on Gu Wanqing’s shoulders and speaking softly.

"Tell me when you’ve figured it out. Don’t stress over it too much, because I won’t get mad no matter what you say."

"Me neither."

Jiang Wan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, bent over slightly with her hands on her knees, and smiled gently.

"Qingqing, you can tell me anything. I’ll never be mad at you."

Jiang Wan’s hint was already very obvious, but Gu Wanqing was clearly still torn.

"Okay."

Gu Wanqing nodded, still not having sorted out her true feelings.

She didn’t know if she should just confess her feelings for Lin Shen, and she didn’t know how she would face Jiang Wan after confessing.

Her tangled emotions left her feeling lost and helpless for a moment. She needed to calm down and properly sort things out.

"Well, I’ll head back to my dorm then. Lin Shen, Jiang Wan, see you another day!"

Gu Wanqing waved goodbye to Jiang Wan and Lin Shen.

Watching Gu Wanqing’s retreating figure, Lin Shen let out a long sigh and exchanged another look of tacit understanding with Jiang Wan.

Wry smiles touched both their lips at the same time.

"What do we do about this?"

"You’re asking me?"

Jiang Wan stepped forward, took Lin Shen’s arm, and gave the soft flesh of his waist a light pinch before teasing him.

"You’re the one who caused this mess, so of course, you have to be the one to solve it."

"How I solve it depends on your attitude."

Seeing Lin Shen’s mischievous grin, Jiang Wan couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

"What attitude could I have? Things are already like this. It’s not like I can object, can I?"

"So, you agree then?"

Lin Shen’s eyes lit up, but Jiang Wan twisted his ear and chided him coquettishly.

"I never said I agreed."

’So she doesn’t agree, but she doesn’t object either, right!’

Lin Shen was smart and instantly understood the meaning behind Jiang Wan’s words. He shook his head and sighed.

"I really don’t know what’s so great about me to make that girl Qingqing like me so much."

"Stop playing humble after getting so lucky!"

Jiang Wan shot Lin Shen a look, holding back a laugh.

"Do you really not know how much girls like you?"

"It doesn’t matter if other people like me. All that matters is that you like me."

Lin Shen lowered his head and nuzzled Jiang Wan’s soft cheek, which made her heart flutter and she couldn’t help but give him a light push.

"Stop messing around."

"Did you miss me while I was away?"

Once they were alone and it was quiet, Lin Shen could finally whisper some sweet nothings to Jiang Wan.

Of course, he could also make some bolder moves.

For example, Lin Shen’s right hand, which had been wrapped around Jiang Wan’s slender waist, slid up past her armpit to her chest, allowing him to fully appreciate the charm of that great treasure.

’This is something I’ve been coveting for so long!’

Lin Shen was filled with emotion.

"Did you get bigger again?"

"Bigger? I feel like they’ve gotten a size smaller."
