Kapitel 25: Do Not Have Other Alternatives

"Eh? What, are we going to talk about it again?" Mo Lihua asked with a deep frown on her face. The strong smell of alcohol confirmed that Yu Qiao was drinking.

'Why is he drinking?' Mo Lihua asked herself. She already found Yu Qiao's earlier actions confusing. What more would happen if he got drunk?

"Tsk. So you have forgotten about it? Good then! Let rest for the night!" Yu Qiao exclaimed in a hurry, ready and set to run away from Mo Lihua.

"Hold on! I did not forget it! However, as you greatly implied earlier, you are against the idea. So why change your mind about helping me?" Mo Lihua asked skeptically. "And can I finally have my glasses? I already have a headache."

Yu Qiao prefers looking at Mo Lihua face without glasses, but they are necessary for her to see clearly so he placed his hand inside his pocket to get the glasses, only to discover that one of the lenses had fallen out.

"Ahm...Do you have another pair?" Yu Qiao asked carefully.

Mo Lihua: "Why? What happened?" Instead of answering, Yu Qiao handed over the broken glasses.

"There's another pair of glasses in my bag," Mo Lihua said through clenched teeth after she found out what happened. Don't get her wrong, glasses can be replaced at any time. She just doesn't like her things being damaged or broken by someone else.

Yu Qiao immediately got up and ran towards his car to grab Mo Lihua's bag, which they'd left behind. After she finally could see everything clearly, Mo Lihua looked at Yu Qiao expectantly. "Alright, let's talk."

Releasing a deep breath, he began. "First, there is no such thing as a perfect girlfriend," Yu Qiao stated. "That is just fantasy, like hoping to meet a perfect human being. Second, you are not supposed to have a boyfriend, because that is your father's decision, so I will only cooperate as long as it is within the boundaries. The limit of an unmarried couple," Yu Qiao added unhappily.

"Promise me that you will tell me everything. I literally mean everything regarding this relationship," he added.

"Hmm. I don't think that's a good idea," Mo Lihua mumbled. How could she tell him everything regarding her relationship if there was no relationship in the first place?

"What? Well, we also have another option. It 's called 'Reporting to godfather'. We can go down that route with no problem. Immediately." he said, grinning evilly.

Mo Lihua bit her lower lip nervously, "Can you give me time to think about this? I will also talk to him as well..." She wondered if YangChen would be willing to cooperate. Mo Lihua can only hope. Since she was busy making plans off the top of her head, Mo Lihua missed the irritated look on Yu Qiao's face.

"Fine. You can think about it, even though you do not have other alternatives," Yu Qiao commented confidently.

Mo Lihua then stood up and left Yu Qiao to drink on his own. She needed to contact Yang Chen as soon as possible.

Yu Qiao watched Mo Lihua as she hurriedly moved away from him. With her glasses, Mo Lihua didn't need Yu Qiao's assistance, and that made him feel very disappointed.

...

Inside the guest room...

Mo Lihua spent a long time figuring out what to do. She was trying to figure out how to convince Yang Chen to help her by pretending to be her boyfriend. She turned on her phone after she found the napkin Yang Chen had written his number on.

Mo Lihua was composing a message when her phone rang. "Rita..." She answered softly to the maid on the other line.

"Young Miss! Are you alright?! Why did you leave me? I was so worried about you!" Rita immediately complained about her concerns. The maid even sniffed and talked with breathing difficulty, indicating that she had just finished crying.

"I am sorry Rita... I will never do it again..." Mo Lihua felt guilty for making everyone worry. Not only Yu Qiao but also, of course, the people in her family who that also cares about her. Despite her flaws, they are still there looking out for her.

Rita snorted softly, "Young Miss, I will not expect too much with that statement. However, please, please, please, I beg you, do not ever do this alone. If you do not want me to go with you, bring anyone along. Even if it is Young Master Yu!"
