Chapter 241
“More real than gold itself.” Ye Liangchen spoke with fervor, almost ready to kneel and swear to the heavens.
Seeing this, Shen Mengjie’s eyes flickered. “Are you sure you can make those girls who see through Long Aotian’s true nature willingly leave him?”
“If what you say is true, that I can save those deceived girls, then I’m willing to try.”

Even Shen Mengjie herself didn’t realize how tightly she clenched her fist when she said this, or how much her heart raced in that moment...
“I know what you’re worried about—you’re afraid of losing everything you’ve worked for.” Ye Liangchen smiled confidently, tossing his hair back. “I’m sure of it; after all, who wants to be deceived forever?”
“And who would want to see themselves betrayed time and again?”
Hu Yuying, though kind and innocent, couldn’t possibly tolerate Long Aotian’s fickleness without feeling hurt!
It’s well known that a heartbroken girl has the weakest defenses.
As long as he seizes the opportunity to make Hu Yuying realize that he is the one who has always protected her, the one who truly wants to save her...
When something happens between them, it will be a natural progression!
Moreover, he had a grasp on Hu Yuying’s business plan...
So Ye Liangchen felt quite confident.
Shen Mengjie looked at Ye Liangchen, but her heart felt sympathy for Long Aotian.
She always believed that there’s no cat that doesn’t stray.
Long Aotian was no exception; they were cut from the same cloth.
Perhaps it was the repeated setbacks with Long Aotian that ignited her competitive spirit.
Or maybe she just wanted to drag someone like Long Aotian down with her.
In any case, she had never been a good person, and she genuinely wanted to see if the bond between Long Aotian and his little girlfriend was strong enough.
Anything that could be taken away was never worth keeping...

**Chapter 293: Shen Mengjie’s Date**
By the artificial lake, Shen Mengjie sat alone on a large rock, gazing dreamily at the cold wind rippling across the surface of the water.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her; suddenly, it felt like her heart was blocked by something invisible and intangible.
It was quite uncomfortable.
She took out her phone, snapped a picture of the lake, and sent it to Long Aotian.
Seeing Long Aotian’s reply of 【？】 made her smile slightly, and the heaviness in her heart seemed to dissipate a little in that moment.
“Do you know what girls value the most?”
As Long Aotian read Shen Mengjie’s message, he leaned back on his bed, lost in thought.
Having spent so much time with the girl, he knew she loved life.
She didn’t seem to care much for details or romance; she always lived each day to the fullest, giving her life extraordinary meaning...
Soon, his phone vibrated again.
It was another message from Shen Mengjie: “It’s the sense of ritual.”
Looking up at the bright moon, the cool moonlight washed over her, and with the breeze blowing, Shen Mengjie instinctively curled up. “Girls really value the sense of ritual.”
“I can already imagine Huang Fei’s suggestions for you—probably something like visiting an aquarium or an art exhibit, setting up a romantic scene to help the girl reminisce about beautiful moments. It sounds novel, but I know that’s not what you really want.”
“The sense of ritual is truly important for girls. A sincere confession, a romantic date, and unique experiences are all essential...”
In his dorm, Long Aotian read Shen Mengjie’s messages.
To be honest, her words struck a chord deep within him.
A sincere confession isn’t just about reminiscing the past.
A romantic date isn’t merely about dining, shopping, or watching movies.
As for unique experiences, that was the most troubling aspect for Long Aotian. He had never been in a relationship or made a genuine confession, so he wasn’t quite sure how to proceed.
Initially, he thought Shen Mengjie was just talking, not expecting much from her.
But now, her messages had truly opened his eyes.
After waiting for a while without receiving more messages from Shen Mengjie, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s next? About the unique experiences?”
Seeing Long Aotian’s inquiry, Shen Mengjie’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Her life experiences lacked purity; all she had was an insatiable curiosity for everything she couldn’t have.
But often, once curiosity began, it led to a downfall.
“I don’t know your girlfriend well, nor do I understand your thoughts. You’ve never told me these things, so I’m not sure how to help you strategize. [Innocent blinking emoji].”
“Let’s meet tomorrow at eight in the café by the school gate. You can share your thoughts, and I’ll help you brainstorm.”
After sending the message, Shen Mengjie smiled at her phone.
Stretching by the lakeside, her alluring figure unfolded, and she recalled the various reactions of the three girls when they mentioned Long Aotian last Friday.
Her lips parted slightly: “Actually, we’re all the same kind of people.”
Her light voice drifted away, lost in the empty lakeside.
She stood up, adjusted her clothes, and left.
The first step had been successfully taken; she needed to prepare for tomorrow’s ‘date.’
In the dorm, Long Aotian told Huang Fei about his meeting with Shen Mengjie the next day.
“Wow, Mengjie was right! I was actually thinking of taking you and your girlfriend to the aquarium, where you could confess and kiss in the blue glass corridor surrounded by seawater. Just thinking about it is so romantic...”
Well, there it was—proof that the aesthetic and ideas between boys and girls do differ, even if just a little.
The next morning.
In class.
Huang Fei approached Shen Mengjie, noticing her occasional smiles. “Mengjie, you seem really happy today.”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Shen Mengjie raised an eyebrow, her tone playful. “You all say how great Long Aotian is, how mature he is. He had the upper hand when he helped me before, and now he’s coming to consult me. Doesn’t that sound interesting?”
Huang Fei chuckled awkwardly. “That’s true, but if I can help Lao Ao, I’d be really grateful to you.”
Seeing Huang Fei visibly relax, Shen Mengjie rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Hypocrite.”
Huang Fei scratched his head. “I just think Lao Ao really cares about his girlfriend; he’s quite thoughtful.”
“Why should you care about someone else’s girlfriend?”
That tone left Huang Fei speechless...
An ordinary day, with everything feeling mundane, time always slipped by quietly.
In the evening, as dusk fell.
When Wang Lijuan and Han Xiaojing returned to the dorm, they looked at Shen Mengjie in surprise. “Mengjie, why are you putting on makeup at this hour?”
Shen Mengjie tossed her long hair and smiled. “Oh, just because. Do I look good?”
The bright red lipstick didn’t detract from Shen Mengjie’s overall beauty; instead, it accentuated her sexy allure.
After changing into the outfit she had prepared in advance, Shen Mengjie stretched her waist, looked at herself in the mirror, and walked out the door, satisfied.
Watching Shen Mengjie’s departing figure, Han Xiaojing and Wang Lijuan exchanged glances, choosing not to pry.
When she arrived at the café, Long Aotian was sitting near the glass door, easily visible as she walked in.
“You’re here quite early today. Guess it’s true that when it’s your own business, you care more,” she teased habitually.
Long Aotian didn’t mind; he knew who she was.
“Let’s hear it.” After ordering a coffee, Shen Mengjie sat across from Long Aotian, her beautiful legs crossed.
“She’s a really great person.”
Shen Mengjie raised an eyebrow at Long Aotian.
“I never said you weren’t a good person.”
“I didn’t care, so what’s next?”
“There’s nothing more. My little girl is just a really wonderful, gentle person.” At this point, Long Aotian couldn’t help but chuckle. “Honestly, no matter what I do, she’ll always think it’s the best.”
“It’s because of this that I want to give her the best, a truly unforgettable confession. No matter how much time passes, when we bring it up again, the memories will still feel fresh.”
Seeing the smile on Long Aotian’s face was almost blinding. “I really don’t understand how such a great girl could fall for someone like you.”
“What’s wrong with someone like me?”
At least in his little girl’s eyes, he was the best in the world.
