The Master's Mask Unveiled Again Chapter 482

Chapter 482: Chapter 481: Director Qi, do you have any experience in tricking someone into coming to Jinjing?

Lu Mian just knew that this sort of thing was like pulling up a radish and bringing up the mud with it.

She neither admitted nor denied, but instead turned the question around and asked, “Director Qimo, do you have any experience in tricking someone into coming to Jinjing?”
Her question really made Xiao Qimo's heart flutter for a moment.

He had too much experience with that, wasn't he doing that right now?

Could it be that the little devil had sensed something and was using this roundabout way to hint at him?

The man's heart had been constantly stirred up day by day by her; he had no idea when this little devil would blurt out something that caught him off guard.

Xiao Qimo just quietly stared at Lu Mian's face for a long time but couldn't detect any abnormal expression.

Lu Mian didn't know what he was thinking and asked again, more emphatically, “Do you have experience?

Could you share it with me?”
Xiao Qimo was speechless.

Was this her asking him to come clean and be lenient?

Was he that kind of person?

Even if a refined man felt guilty, he wouldn't show too much on his face.

He was very clear that he was in the key process of conquering her heart, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Xiao Qimo took a deep breath, “I think, deceiving people isn't good.”
Lu Mian smirked, “Indeed, deceiving people is not good, but some people can't be dealt with without deception, right?”
Xiao Qimo didn't know how to respond to this question; any answer seemed like a death sentence.

Just as he was thinking about how to confess and seek leniency, the girl opposite to him spoke faintly, “Ye Jinwen and Shen Yixin can't go on like this, their issues both lie with Ya Ling.

I have to get Ya Ling to come to JinjingaEUR ”
She murmured to herself, then added, “But Ya Ling would rather die than come to Jinjing.

It's so annoying.”
When she finished speaking, she looked up at Xiao Qimo with a somewhat pleading expression.

A string of crows flew over Xiao Qimo's forehead, and right then, he revived on the spot, instantly turning back into the composed and elegant man.

The man pushed his glasses up, pretending as if nothing had happened, “I think this matter needs long-term consideration.

For instance, I heard that piano master Mr.

Chu Kong is having a small concert after the New Year.

Doesn't your friend also like to attend concerts?”
Lu Mian laughed, “You found that out too.”
She realized that ever since her identity as number thirteen was exposed, Xiao Qimo had deduced more and more things.

Xiao Qimo watched her small expressions, his smile full of indulgence, “Wasn't it you who helped her erase the surveillance video at the theater?

You even infected my computer with a virus.”
Having said this, without intending to, three words slipped out between his lips.

“Little rascal.”
Lu Mian pursed her lips, each understanding the other, and she said, “Cunning fox.”
Xiao Qimo had now clarified many things.

If it wasn't entirely certain before, then now, all of the past questions had found the right answers.

Ye Jinwen hadn't misidentified the person that day.

The day Ye Jinwen had the car accident, he hadn't rescued the wrong person either.

He could even understand why Lu Mian was so forgiving and indulgent towards Mo Si and Ye Jinwen.

It was because they had once saved her friend, her life-and-death comrade.

However, he now had one question he couldn't figure out.

He knew a thing or two about the incident between Ye Jinwen and Ye Lingxi back then; Ye Jinwen had clearly said that Ye Lingxi died in a car accident and it had nothing to do with the kidnapping case.

Could it be that there was some mistake in this?

He mulled over it in his heart, not sure, and thus temporarily didn't mention it to Lu Mian.

Lu Mian was secretly considering Xiao Qimo's proposal, thinking it was very good.

Ya Ling enjoyed attending concerts, especially those of the Starlight Symphony Orchestra; that was probably her obsession.

She had heard a while ago from Chu Kuo that Chu Kong's health was failing, and perhaps this was truly a farewell concert.

For Ya Ling, she definitely wouldn't want to miss it.

And by then, Ye Jinwen would surely be there to watch as well.

Thinking this way, it indeed seemed like a good opportunity for them to sort out their conflicts and resolve their issues.

Lu Mian shared a grateful smile with Xiao Qimo, “Thank you, you've really helped me a lot.”
Xiao Qimo took a deep breath.

Being a man is not easy.

Being Lu Mian's man is even harder.

Lu Mian didn't notice his expression, focusing solely on sending a text message.

As her thumb hit the send button, she slowly raised her head.

A sudden, ambiguous smile appeared on her face.

Xiao Qimo's expression paused.

The airy words of Lu Mian then followed closely, “Director Qimo, this is how you deceived me as well, right?

Hmm?”
The final “Hmm”, with its slight upward intonation, was cool yet carried a teasing undertone.

Xiao Qimo stood frozen, his expression unchanged, with an air as if nothing had happened, he slightly pursed his lips and gave a gentle laugh.

He wasn't embarrassed, really.

His nervousness was real, but so was Lu Mian's indifference.

Even knowing she had been tricked into coming, Lu Mian didn't feel repelled.

And this trip to Jinjing, she had indeed experienced a lot, encountering some people, eating the food cooked by Xiao Qimo's mother, and even meeting her little uncle.

These experiences were enough for her.

She was someone very easily contented and cherished all those who stood by her side especially.

After sending a text message to Ya Ling, Ya Ling replied with only a crying emoji and didn't say whether he would come or not.

But Lu Mian didn't press for an answer; she knew Ya Ling needed time to think.

Elsewhere.

Ye Jinwen and Shen Yixin were sitting in a quiet booth area, which was semi-private.

Quiet, elegant, bright and clean.

Ye Jinwen patiently ordered Shen Yixin's favorite desserts, added sugar to her coffee, and stirred it until it was even.

He attended to every detail perfectly, and could be described as the ideal man.

After he finished, Shen Yixin finally raised her head, her gentle eyes seemingly seeing right through everything.

“Ye, you're always avoiding me.”
“Not at all, how could I?

You are my fiancA(c)e, after all!” Ye Jinwen replied reflexively, seemingly uncertain of what he was emphasizing.

Shen Yixin smiled, speaking in a clear and concise manner, “But, I don't want to be your fiancA(c)e anymore.”
!!!

Ye Jinwen was so startled he nearly slid off his chair.

Not to be a fiancA(c)e meant to become a wife!

The Shen Family pressed him, his parents pressed him, and Shen Yixin was pressing him too; he truly didn't know what to say.

Shen Yixin had long noticed his reaction, “Look, you're nervous again.

When the three of us used to hang out together, you were never like this.”
When the past was mentioned, Ye Jinwen became somewhat despondent, “Yixin, let's not talk about the past.”
“If we don't mention it, will you be able to forget?”
Shen Yixin smiled bitterly.

“Can you forget how your parents broke you up with Xi Xi?

.co

Can you forget being helpless during the accident that befell Xi Xi while you were being forced into an arranged meeting with me?

Can you forget that Xi Xi died in a car accident at the very moment you were performing surgery on me?”
With all her strength, Shen Yixin said these words, tears already falling uncontrollably, her body trembling with them.

“Ye, let's end this!” she declared somberly, “It's been over two years, I really can't stand this anymore!”
