Chapter 966: The Game of Cat and Mouse
Mo Ning shot him a look and wriggled out from his grasp.
“Believe me, if such a guy exists, he would have been dead already.”
Yan Sinian raised an eyebrow. “But I’m still alive and well.”
Mo Ning ignored him outright.
When they reached class, her attention immediately shifted to Huo Run, who was sitting in the center of the room.
The latter was wearing a white long dress. Her dark dress framed her body in a way that was elegant and ladylike.
She seemed to have noticed Mo Ning’s attention and looked up.
Their eyes met.
Huo Run could see the innocent awe and admiration in Mo Ning’s eyes.
Mo Ning smiled at her and went to her own seat.
“…”
Huo Run’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that smile.
The young man was always flirting without meaning to.
The act was unintentional, but it was also irresistible.
Once class was over, a few girls flocked to Huo Run and asked her, “Runrun, Mo Ning smiled at you right before class began, does he like you?”
“I’m so jealous, I think Mo Ning is interested in you.”
“I’d trade one second of my life to see his gorgeous smile!”
“…”
The girls who always flattered her just because of her family background looked jealous.
However, compared to Liu Beibei, they had no reason to believe that Huo Run was not a good match for Mo Ning.
For a moment, Huo Run felt pleased to be envied by her friends.
When the image of the young man’s smile appeared in her head again, Huo Run’s ears turned red hot.
Her eyes were glowing with vanity even as she said humbly, “No, you’re just overthinking things.”
The girls chatted in disbelief and continued to pester her for more details.
Huo Run nibbled on her lower lip. While she had always preferred to keep a low profile, she enjoyed being the center of attention, just like any normal human being.
She could not help to wonder how much more jealous other people would become if she really became Mo Ning’s girlfriend.
Wait a sec!
What was she thinking?
Huo Run’s cheeks blushed as she shielded away from the thought.
Mo Ning had no idea how much damage was done because of a simple smile from her.
At that moment, she was worrying about how to conquer the imperious young miss.
She turned to look at Liu Beibei beside her, who was sipping on milk tea, and asked, “Beibei, if it was you, how would you prefer a guy to pursue you?”
Indeed, Mo Ning was thinking of using her pretty face to get closer to Huo Run.
The ideal outcome was for Huo Run to fall for her.
However, Mo Ning was a girl who had never been in a relationship.
Pursuing someone of the same sex was a thorny issue!
Liu Beibei considered the question seriously before answering, “I don’t want anything special. He just has to be gentle and thoughtful.”
Gentle and thoughtful?
Mo Ning was vexed. “Do you think I’m gentle?”
Liu Beibei touched her forehead and muttered, “Are you having a fever…”
“Cough.”
Mo Ning coughed awkwardly and ended the conversation.
She had no plans to have a real relationship with Huo Run, since she was a true blue woman. Definitely.
Her plan was to get to Huo Yunting and his wife through their daughter.
Mo Ning pondered on her strategy and decided to work with the opportunities around her.
Approaching Huo Run abruptly would make her suspicious.
Moreover, she did not want to act too keen.
For the next few days, Mo Ning maintained her usual routine and did nothing special.
