Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Skipping Class to Watch You Play Ball

Mu Shuoqian indifferently rolled down his sleeves and elegantly fastened his cufflinks. Due to the exercising, the back of his shirt was slightly damp, faintly revealing his sturdy spine.

He was wearing suit pants and leather shoes; if he switched to sportswear, his performance would certainly have been even more outstanding.

Mu Shuoqian paid no attention to Chen Yishu and headed straight towards where Gu Qili was.

"Wait a moment," Chen Yishu suddenly called out to him, "May I ask your name?"

Although he was not content with the loss, Chen Yishu truly acknowledged his basketball skills; his style resembled street basketball, not just a sport, but also an art form.

Many of the players he admired had come from street basketball backgrounds.

Mu Shuoqian did not answer, nor did he stop his steps.

Gu Qili watched him walking towards her, momentarily forgetting how to react. If he spoke to her, how should she respond? If people knew he was Mu Shuoqian, gossip would likely follow. With her status, how could she deserve to know Mu Shuoqian? They would probably insinuate something improper.

To her surprise, he just passed by her side, not even sparing her a glance as he walked straight past her. She caught the faint scent of his sweat, the unique charming aroma of a man after exercise.

As he passed by her, those attractive lips slightly parted, and in a low, arrogant voice he said, "The one chasing you is nothing much."

Gu Qili was instantaneously disheveled by the wind. What did he mean by that?

Was he trying to prove himself or was he trying to embarrass Chen Yishu?

Before she could think further, Chen Yishu, still drenched in sweat, came jogging over. It seemed he couldn’t save face in front of the girl he liked after having lost the game. He chuckled twice, casually wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Why didn’t you go to class? I remember you should have had one."

Gu Qili gave him a smile: "I skipped class to watch you play basketball."

He knew of course she was joking. His gaze drifted past her shoulder toward the departing Mu Shuoqian, letting out a deep sigh: "I lost just now."

"Mhm, I saw it."

"That man, I don’t know who he is, but I swear that’s not his basketball style," said Chen Yishu with certainty.

Gu Qili remained silent. She had never heard him say such a thing, but then again, he wouldn’t tell her.

As she pondered, the notification tone for a text message sounded, and Chen Yishu’s friends were calling him back to continue the game.

"Then I won’t disturb you," Gu Qili lifted her phone and said goodbye.

Chen Yishu watched her leave before turning and running back to the court amidst teasing from his friends. Everyone knew he liked Gu Qili, but she had not accepted his confession. They all felt it was a pity; after all, they would have made a handsome couple and a pleasant sight.

Gu Qili opened the text message, a simple two words: Come out.

Mu Shuoqian’s car was parked at the entrance. Today, he hadn’t driven his Maybach but a Range Rover Evoque that stood by the roadside.

She opened the car door and sat inside, placing her bag to the side.

Mu Shuoqian was smoking, the car window half-lowered, exhaling smoke before he turned his head to look at her: "Did Qi Meihui come to you because of Guan Dalong’s son?"

Gu Qili nodded her head.

"Did you agree to her?"

Gu Qili shook her head resolutely, "I won’t forgive those who hurt me and those who try to harm me. I’m not that magnanimous."

Mu Shuoqian’s eyes flickered, a trace of indiscernible emotion flashed across the depths of his gaze. Lost in thought, Gu Qili had to call his name twice before he snapped back to reality.

"Do you think I’m too heartless and wicked?" Gu Qili murmured, "After all, the Guan Family only has that one son..."

He flicked the cigarette butt into the car’s ashtray, starting the car while saying, "Since there’s only that one son, then let him go to prison to accompany his son."
