Genius Girl is the Big Shot's Beloved Treasure

Chapter 727: This is a World that Values Appearance

"What’s going on with your marriage?" Huo Jincheng looked at him seriously, and after a few seconds, said, "Jin Yan, is it intentional or something else, or do you really like her?""Jin Chen, I know what you want to say. But I am sure I like her." Mo Jinyan’s eyes were firm, thinking of Xu Weiyi, with a trace of tenderness.

"As long as your feelings are genuine, that’s good. Whether your intentions are genuine or feigned, I will bless your marriage. But you absolutely can’t be with her just because she looks like Xu Ying." Huo Jincheng didn’t want him to be with someone for that reason.

"I admit, that was a factor at first. But she and Xu Ying are completely different types, I can tell the difference. Jin Chen, I really like her. And I want to be with her." Mo Jinyan knew Huo Jincheng meant well and was just worried about him.

"That’s good, as long as that’s the case, I’ll pretend I don’t know anything." Huo Jincheng said, then continued walking towards the restaurant.

Mo Jinyan followed behind him.

One person sat next to his wife, another next to his fiancée.

Lu Xingzhi had briefly mentioned Mo Jinyan’s situation to Helian Xi last night.

Just so she could persuade Gu Jin’an.

"Xiao Xi, we all eat at the same canteen, why is your food so much?" Gu Jin’an was completely unconvinced.

"Probably because I look more well-behaved! The canteen auntie thinks I’m cute, so she gives me more food." Helian Xi lied effortlessly.

"If I believe you, I’m a pig. How did you get your food?" Gu Jin’an continued to ask.

"Just now a guy called me, said he’s in my class, and that the server was his mom, so she gave me a lot more food." Helian Xi explained.

"Do you know that guy from your class?" Gu Jin’an took some meat from Helian Xi’s bowl and put it in his own.

"I don’t know him! I suspect he mistook me for someone else."

Gu Jin’an chuckled and lit a candle for the unknown man who spoke for Helian Xi, wondering how he ended up with such an unscrupulous woman as Helian Xi!

If he knew Helian Xi was already a married woman, who knows what he would think.

However, according to men’s mindset, even if they have a partner, being pretty doesn’t stop them from paying compliments.

So, it’s still a looks-driven world.

"Then I must thank my parents for giving me a pretty good appearance." Helian Xi shrugged, "Turns out my family has good genes."

"Oh! Right, I have something to tell you today." Helian Xi didn’t forget today’s task, to convince Gu Jin’an to give up on Mo Jinyan.

Originally wanted to tell her last night, but, it’s always better to say some things face to face.

"Go ahead!" Gu Jin’an took a bite of rice and said.

Today she’s completely different from yesterday at Xingzhi Pavilion. Without Mo Jinyan around, she didn’t need to pretend to be a lady.

"Do you and Mo Jinyan have any progress?" Helian Xi first asked, just in case there was progress she wouldn’t say much. If not, she’d try to persuade her.

"I did send him a few messages, but they went unanswered. He probably hasn’t even seen them." Gu Jin’an said this without a trace of sadness, smiling and joking as usual.
