Chapter 820: Chapter 342: This Makes No Sense!

Before finalizing the plan, it’s essential to figure out who all will be "troublesome."

The first one is definitely Pan Ge.

Tomorrow is their first Valentine’s Day together, and they’ve already met the parents, so it’s all official.

If she doesn’t stir up any trouble, she wouldn’t be called a scheming white lotus.

Next is Sister Tingting.

As an artistic young woman and the "emotional leader" in her relationship with Han Lie, she definitely has plans for tomorrow’s activities.

During recent brief chats, she’s already hinted at it, but Han Lie hasn’t dared to ask what exactly, nor is she willing to elaborate.

Hopefully, it’s not something too romantic and grand...

The mere thought gives me the creeps!

Then there’s the petty one.

In terms of clinginess, the love-brained beauty queen, who’s in her hot and passionate phase, even surpasses Pan Ge and Xi Luting.

She was eagerly here today; can she let go tomorrow?

Then there’s the unexpected appearance of little Bai Ge.

They’ve been chatting quite a lot on WeChat lately. She hasn’t dared to express anything directly, but coming back to school early itself is a very clear hint, not to mention she’s discreetly asked Han Lie twice...

Uh, not just twice; there’s a new message——

"Are you really busy tomorrow, Brother Lie?"

Seeing Bai Ge’s message, Brother Lie’s head started to hurt.

How to respond?

Dog Lie pondered over it repeatedly and could only play dumb for now: "Of course, tomorrow isn’t a day off, and there’s a sea of work piled up at the company. I don’t even know until what time I’ll be working overtime..."

To prove he’s telling the truth, Han Lie specially piled up files in the office area of the presidential suite, making the desk look like a complete mess, before taking a photo and sending it over.

Then he sent a crying emoji to express his woes.

"There are ten times more files in the company than this, FUCK!"

Bai Ge was shocked: "Oh my god..."

Then, quickly showed her understanding: "You’ve already done wonderfully and are very successful, no need to push so hard. Work never ends; remember to rest and relax, balance work and leisure..."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Han Lie sent an emoji of vigorously nodding and then made a tactical retreat, fantasizing wildly: "I really hope to quickly wrap up this case and then take my little cutie to watch a quiet movie..."

Returning to Magic Capital, Ding Xiang lay alone on the hotel bed, covering her face shyly, giggling foolishly.

This girl was really hard to chase initially, but once she fell for it, she really gave in easily. Just a small treat was enough to fill her up.

After daydreaming for a while, she finally figured out how to reply.

"Don’t worry, focus on your work first. There will be opportunities once this phase is over; our coursework isn’t heavy..."

She’s obviously bolder and more direct online than in real life.

Not the type to blush and stay silent after a simple flirt, truly embodying the phrase ’online I strike hard, in reality I am timid...’

So adorable, makes you want to playfully hit!

However, Dog Lie thought: How can I not be anxious? Once Chen Yanfei returns to school, if she speaks well of me, I’d consider it a loss!

Right now, before the Lantern Festival has passed, Chen Yanfei probably hasn’t found a chance to talk deeply with Ding Xiang, but this thing will eventually come out, what a headache...

Forget it, let’s just get through this crisis and think about other things when there’s time.

"Alright, I’ll work first and find you to hang out once I’m done."

"Yes, yes, yes, then sleep early. I’m going off! Bye-bye~~~"

The tone was soft and sticky, seemingly unaffected by the lack of time for tomorrow’s big occasion, her mindset remaining positive and healthy.

Okay, one down!

After effectively comforting Bai Ge, Tang Xintian suddenly called.

Strange, why is she getting involved?

As soon as Han Lie picked up, Sister Da Tang asked bluntly: "I heard you’re about to get engaged to Pan Shengwu’s daughter?"

"Yes, I am!"

Dog Lie was quite puzzled, what does my engagement have to do with you? I’ve never flirted with you! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Yet Sister Da Tang didn’t sense Han Lie’s discontent, instead her questions grew increasingly abrupt.

"Do you like her?"

Han Lie was unsure about it, so instinctively he reserved some: "I do! If I have to choose someone to marry before 25, I can’t think of anyone more suitable than Pan Ge... What do you mean? Do you have something to say?"

Tang Xintian thought she understood.

She pondered carefully and silently nodded.

Indeed, in Han Lie’s situation, if he had to marry, Pan Ge is definitely the best choice.

Yet, out of responsibility for a partner, mentor, and potential love interest, she insisted on reminding him: "Do you know how people in certain circles talk about Pan Ge?"

"What?"

Han Lie felt bewildered; he knew Pan very well, didn’t see anything wrong at all.

Tang Xintian carefully pondered her words, striving to respond lightly: "It’s rumored that the eldest daughter of the Pan Family is somewhat indifferent to men and prefers hanging out with girls... You’re her classmate; you should know better than I do, right?"

"Pfft!"

Han Lie couldn’t hold back, almost burst out laughing.

"Ah, that... there’s some truth to it... uh, but it’s not a big deal... Forget it; you wouldn’t understand."

No, I understand!

Tang Xintian thought once again that she got it.

Psychology—whether a knowledge or a skill—has an interesting trait——

A higher-level expert can read someone’s thoughts and personality downward, while a lower-level novice has a high chance of misjudging upward.

Of course, with long-term extensive interaction, this gap gradually evens out over time.
