Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 824: Chapter 495: Someone She Likes / Mission Begins

"Why did you just say ’ah’ when I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend?" Without caring about Luo Ye’s surprised look across from her, Hang Menglin held Qi Bin’s arm, "Act more intimate, quickly!"

"Sister Menglin, what kind of act are you putting on?" Qi Bin awkwardly tried to pull his arm away, "Why not ask Young Master Qu for help, I’m really not good at this kind of thing."

Qu Yue quickly shook his hands in refusal, "No...no..., I’m even...even worse at it."

Hang Menglin glared at Qu Yue, "Why are you so quick to decline? Even if you were good at it, I wouldn’t use you. Look at that baby face of yours, who would believe you’re my boyfriend?"

"Me, a baby face?" Qu Yue thought about arguing back, but Luo Ye quickly nudged him, whispering, "The man sitting with Coach Hang at the same table is coming over."

"Act more intimate, quick!" Hang Menglin swiftly grabbed Qi Bin’s arm and warned in a low voice, "Help your sister this once, I promise you won’t lose out in the future."

"Hang Menglin, what kind of act is this?" The man approached, appraising Hang Menglin and Qi Bin teasingly, "Holding onto another man right in front of me, don’t you think that’s inappropriate?"

"Meeting you is my grandpa’s wish, actually..." Hang Menglin paused, pointing to Qi Bin, "He’s my boyfriend."

Qi Bin had no choice but to smile awkwardly, "Hello, I’m Qi Bin, Menglin’s... boyfriend."

"Hang Menglin, since you have a boyfriend, why didn’t you tell Grandpa?" The man raised an eyebrow, his expression indifferent as he looked at Hang Menglin, "At your age, Grandpa shouldn’t be opposed."

"My zodiac sign says I can’t date someone four years younger." Hang Menglin sighed, "You should know, my grandpa believes firmly in divination.

Actually, I intended to clear things up with you; I didn’t expect to run into him. " Hang Goulin pointed to Luo Ye and Qu Yue, "They are his friends."

The middle-aged man looked Qi Bin over and nodded, "Since you’re her boyfriend, I’ll let you be. This was originally arranged by the family, and I don’t mind." Saying this, he looked at Luo Ye, "I’m Yu Zheng, may I ask your surname, miss?"

Before Luo Ye could answer, Qu Yue discontentedly harrumphed, "What’s it to you what her surname is?"

Yu Zheng laughed and waved him off, "You’re not her boyfriend, you’re just at most a pursuer, you have no say in this matter."

"He does have a say." Luo Ye said firmly meeting Yu Zheng’s gaze, "He is my best brother, best friend, he absolutely has a say in this!"

"Alright then, carry on, I take my leave." Yu Zheng stopped pestering them, wisely waved at them, and turned away.

Once his figure vanished, Hang Menglin released Qi Bin, apologetically smiling, "Sorry for the urgent situation earlier."

"No problem, but I feel that although he seems a bit flirtatious, he’s still a free-spirited good man..."

Before Qi Bin could finish, Hang Menglin frowned, "You think I’m suitable with him too?"

Qi Bin quickly explained, "Sister Menglin, that’s not what I meant, I’m just.... objectively evaluating the person, it has no other connections."

Hang Menglin furrowed her brow tightly, "Forget it, your expression already told me, you think that since he’s willing to accept me, I’ve lucked out."

Qi Bin showed a pained smile, "Sister Menglin, you misunderstood, I really haven’t thought much about this, and besides, I have no authority to judge this, right?"

"Sorry, my mood’s not great." Hang Menglin took a deep breath and stood up, "I’m leaving now, goodbye."

After her figure disappeared, Qi Bin shook his head helplessly, "When we were kids, our family lived very close to the Hang Family, then we moved away, and many years passed without seeing each other. Last year, both families gathered, so we started interacting again."

Qu Yue hesitated for a moment, "I don’t know if I’m mistaken, but I always felt she likes Brother Qi."

"She likes me?" Qi Bin froze for a moment, "That’s impossible, Sister Menglin definitely wouldn’t like a man younger than herself, of course, I’m not talking about the zodiac match issue but about her personality." Saying this, he looked at Luo Ye, "Ye’er, what do you think?"

"Brother Qi, it’s more about your own feelings in this matter, others’ feelings aren’t important, right?" Luo Ye smiled, avoiding a direct answer.

By the wall outside the revolving door, Hang Menglin stood to the side, watching Qi Bin from afar, her eyes filled with bewilderment...

Liking someone is actually this feeling? Watching him cheerfully chat with others, her heart would hurt faintly, wishing the one he was smiling at was herself, just herself..., was this still her?
