76: Liu Qingqin's true thoughts

Liu Qingqin opened the door, but only Chen Yongqiu was there to greet her.

"Sister Yongqiu? Where are Tingting and Xiaoya?"

"Oh, they said they didn't want to come and went back to the dorm first."

Chen Yongqiu walked in, sweetly called Cao Lang "Brother," and then sat quietly beside him.

No matter how silly Liu Qingqin was, she could still sense that something was slightly off in the air.

She couldn't put her finger on what was wrong, so she could only stand blankly at the door, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Cao Lang stood up and rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

This scene was bound to happen sooner or later, just like an ugly daughter-in-law eventually having to meet her in-laws!

He also sensed Liu Qingqin's innocence; of all the women, Liu Qingqin sent him the most green bubble messages!

Various messages, if not a hundred, then at least eighty a day.

At this rate, he knew he wouldn't be able to keep it hidden forever.

Since he couldn't hide it, he might as well have a confession session early.

He didn't have the energy for back-and-forth games; telling one lie meant having to use ten more to cover it up.

The reason scumbags get caught is often that they can't keep up the act anymore, despite precisely calculating their time every day as time management masters.

But one who often stands by the river is bound to get their shoes wet; even with Chen Yongqiu covering for him, Cao Lang would eventually get caught.

Liu Qingqin was so devoted; if she couldn't accept this outcome... Cao Lang didn't dare to think what foolish things this little girl might do.

"Chen Yongqiu, what did you just call my Boyfriend?"

Coming to her senses, Liu Qingqin walked up to Chen Yongqiu, her face turning slightly cold, a far cry from her usual charming and cute self.

Chen Yongqiu bit her lip and remained silent, looking helplessly at Cao Lang.

She had always feared a Shura Field, but now that it was actually happening, she felt somewhat composed.

Cao Lang walked over, took Liu Qingqin's small hand, gazed into her dark eyes, and said softly:

"Qingqin, listen to me. This is all my fault..."

"I like you too much. I admit, I was selfish."

Chen Yongqiu interrupted Cao Lang's explanation and hurriedly said:

"It's like this, don't blame Brother. It was me who egged him on to pursue you. Qingqin, this is all my fault!"

Good grief, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop—it completely baffled Liu Qingqin. Seeing their perfect coordination, her expression grew even colder.

It had to be said, Chen Yongqiu's Tea Art skills had improved again!

But for some reason, Cao Lang just couldn't bring himself to hate it! Instead, he found it quite agreeable!

Liu Qingqin forcefully broke free from Cao Lang's large hand and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window. Her chest heaved with anger as she stared at the view outside without saying a word.

On her stunning face, her expression was terrifyingly gloomy, as if she were about to turn dark at any second!

Chen Yongqiu and Cao Lang glanced at each other, both wearing bitter smiles.

If they had known, they would have laid some groundwork; this sudden confession was indeed a huge blow to Liu Qingqin!

She's just a young girl who wanted a normal relationship; why did you have to mess with her!

Cao Lang rubbed his temples, thinking of how to explain.

He was also a novice at love; though he had been with many women, most could be handled with money. But with someone like Liu Qingqin, he really didn't know how to coax her!

"Qingqin, Qingqin, I was wrong."

Cao Lang called out softly, tugging at Liu Qingqin's hand with a very humble attitude, clearly trying his best to reconcile.

But Liu Qingqin didn't say a word! There were no signs of her crying either; she just kept a dark face, acting cold and silent!

Chen Yongqiu also came over, gathering the courage to hold Liu Qingqin's other hand.

"Qingqin, no matter how many things are wrong, it's all my fault. I've known Brother for a long time. It was me who took the initiative to tell him that I had a great roommate who was super beautiful, super cute, and super kind."

"At that time, I thought... it would be better if we served Brother together."

Cao Lang raised an eyebrow, signaling her to stop, and Chen Yongqiu sensibly shut her mouth.

Could something like that be said so bluntly?

Talking about serving together... wasn't that just adding fuel to the fire!

It felt like Liu Qingqin was about to explode with rage!

The main issue was her silence, leaving Cao Lang to guess her thoughts, and he was at his wit's end.

Cao Lang spoke up, "Qingqin, let me compensate you with some money. How about I give you a hundred million?"

Hearing this, Chen Yongqiu's body suddenly trembled, and she looked up at Cao Lang in disbelief.

Is that something a human would say?

Offering a hundred million right off the bat—has Brother become this overbearingly wealthy?

Of course, Chen Yongqiu didn't know that Cao Lang's money only increased the more he spent. As long as he was happy, giving away a billion wouldn't be a problem.

However, Liu Qingqin remained unmoved. She didn't care about the hundred million at all; instead, her body shook even more violently out of "anger."

Seeing this, Cao Lang quickly shut up!

He had expected Liu Qingqin to cry, break up with him, or accept it, but he never expected her to remain silent with such an incredibly dark expression.

He wouldn't even be surprised if she went to the kitchen to grab a knife in the next second.

What should he do?

This couldn't go on; Cao Lang was also starting to get anxious.

Suddenly, Cao Lang remembered he still had a divine card for listening to inner thoughts.

Since you won't talk, don't blame me for using a cheat.

Cao Lang opened the system interface and chose to use the Heart Sound Listening Card.

[Heart Sound Listening Card: Can listen to a woman's inner thoughts for free three times (Two remaining)]

Let's see what this about-to-turn-dark Liu Qingqin is actually thinking deep down.

[Ding! Heart Sound Listening Card used successfully. Reading the target's inner thoughts...]

In the next second, an excited voice echoed in Cao Lang's mind:

[What on earth should I say! Should I curse a bit to keep up appearances? Or should I just throw a tantrum on the floor!]

[Serving Baby together with Chen Yongqiu feels so exciting. We're not going to have Multi-person Sports, are we? How embarrassing!]

[I've known for a long time that he's a playboy. Did he really think I, Liu Qingqin, was stupid? I'm just maintaining my persona. Doesn't he know that high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey!]

[Even though I really want a devoted Boyfriend, he's so talented, so handsome, and so charming! I simply can't leave him!]

[What should I do? If I don't say something soon, I'll be exposed...]

Cao Lang swallowed hard. This Heart Sound Listening Card's effect was too powerful... In fact, many people might not even know what they are thinking deep down... but the Heart Sound Listening Card can objectively reveal a person's inner thoughts.

For example, Liu Qingqin, after years of being instilled with traditional values, had always believed she was a kind, cute, and gentle girl.

She would act out her daily behavior based on this personality.

But when faced with a real emergency, her true personality would emerge.

Those who don't understand psychology might not even realize this.

This is why when something happens, two little figures appear in everyone's mind to have a dialogue.

One is an angel, and the other is a demon.

This is the daily self and the true self in a game of chess.

Clearly, the true Liu Qingqin had already convinced herself.

However, to maintain her daily persona, she was still trying hard to control her trembling body and put on an angry front...
