Chapter 155 - Happiness
Chapter 155: Happiness
Translator: Lonelytree
It was a wonderful thing to wake up in Jing Tian’s quilt on Monday morning. I was very happy.
It was a pity that Jing Tian, the great sage, kept his promise to my little uncle. He said that he would wait until I was twenty-two years old, and graduated from college before he would officially date me. Our intimate interaction was limited to kissing. Even though I could sense his desire from our kisses, he managed to control himself very well.
Faced with my assault of seduction, he was unmoved. I bought sexy underwear and walked around before him. He wrapped me tightly in the quilt and threw me on the bed. Therefore, I stayed in his bed and refused to leave. Since I couldn’t get the man himself, at least I could get his bed. I slept well enveloped in his scent.
He had no choice but to sleep on the couch. I couldn’t bear to see him torment himself because of me so I ran out of bed barefoot in my sexy underwear to find him. I chased him all over the house. In the end, he had no choice but to roll me up in his quilt and returned to his bedroom. He pulled out a mattress and slept beside me. This was a compromise I could accept. At least we were technically sleeping in the same bed.
Just like that, I spent the whole weekend curled up in his bed. When Monday came, I didn’t feel even a shred of Monday Blues. After breakfast, I would take his car to head to university, it was perfect!
The threat from the Brothers lingered in the horizon but I decided to claim happiness whenever it appeared. Of course, that didn’t mean that I had forgiven them for what they did to Jing Ni! We would just wait and see who appeared victorious in the end.
After Jing Ni left, Mai Qi and I spent more time together. She didn’t act that much like a spoiled child around me and I slowly discovered that she was a good person. However, she still carried a torch for my little uncle. I tried to find out if she had known about the thing between my little uncle and Jing Ni. After all, Mai Qi’s family was one even the Seven Brothers didn’t dare to offend. A few of them even had to rely on Mai Qi’s father for work.
Mai Qi surprised me by knowing the whole incident. However, even more surprising was her response. “I think you little uncle has done the right thing. When I heard about what Shi Feng did, I was so angry! When I see him in person, I would lecture him too!” Then she added, “Plus it’s normal for your little uncle to like Jing Ni. After all, Jing Ni is pretty and so kind. It’s normal for men to like her, if you ask me, it’s that Lee Yang who is abnormal.”
My eyes almost popped out of my sockets. Is this the unruly and willful Miss Mai that I know?
Miss Mai continued, “As long as they’re not married, I still have a chance. Even if they’re married, I still have a chance. Who can guarantee they’ll love each other forever? After they split up when the danger is over, then it’ll be my chance to swoop in! I am not even angry at Jing Ni. After I mistook you for your little uncle’s girlfriend, I have learned a lesson. Many things go beneath the surface. I know why things happened the way they did so I am not even mad. After all, the day is still young. Who knows? I might end up victorious after all.”

I coughed as I derived the lesson from Mai Qi’s words. I couldn’t really refute her. For a moment, I even felt it was fine if both of them were my little aunts. Oh, what a horrible person I was!

When Gu Nian came to look for me, Mai Qi and I just came out from the library. We were going to have lunch.
He was wearing a white windbreaker. He stood there with his elegant demeanor, attracting the attention of the female students passing by.
Mai Qi nudged me. “Does he like you?” I gave her a look that said are you crazy?
Mai Qi smiled. “I can see the love in his eyes. If he doesn’t like you, I’ll be called Nan Qi from now on!”
“Nan Qi? Actually that sounds quite nice. Why don’t you just take that name?” I chuckled.
Mai Qi hit me. “The only way I’m taking the Nan surname is if your little uncle marries me!”
Gu Nian saw us and walked over.
“Master Liu!” I greeted him politely.
He smiled at us. “Why don’t I treat you girls to a meal?”
Mai Qi waved her head. “Actually, I can’t. I have a facial appointment this afternoon. Nanxing, I’ll see you at the dorm tonight!”
I waved at her as she ran away.
Gu Nian watched Mai Qi leave. “Nanxing, I notice that you have a power to make the lives of people around you become better.”
I was confused. This sounded like a compliment.
Gu Nian smiled. “Miss Mai Qi has a fiery temper that even her family can’t handle. She always has to have things her way since she was young. However, she has mellowed out a lot around you. If this continues, I believe Mrs. Mail might come in person to thank you. She probably won’t believe that her daughter would one day become so reasonable and understanding.”
I chuckled. “If only you dare to repeat this whole spiel in front of Mai Qi.”
Gu Nian smiled. His smile burned 10000 Wattz under the sun.. Even more girls turned to look over at him.
