Mina said, "Even though he says it's a fake marriage, the way he looks at you is not right."
"Not right? What do you mean?" I asked.
"Did you see how Zhuo Feng looks at me? Su Qian looks at you the same way," she said calmly.
I stared at her in shock, unable to speak for a moment.
This short sentence conveyed a lot.
First, Mina really knows Zhuo Feng's feelings for her, and she understands it better than any of us; she can even discern the looks in his eyes.
Second, Su Qian's feelings for me are more than just friendship. Although he has never truly expressed it, Mina has already figured it out.
But I couldn't wrap my head around it. To me, Su Qian is already an outstanding person; how could he possibly have different feelings for me?
Moreover, I am still Xiao Minxing's wife, and he knows that. How could it be possible?
Mina said, "You used to pay little attention to these gossip stories, so you probably don't know his playboy reputation. Su Qian is different from others. Many men surrounded by women often end up with a lot of drama; those women will tear each other apart. But the women around him have always gotten along harmoniously. Even if several of them meet at the same time, there’s never a chance for conflict."
I was not just surprised anymore; I felt that this person must have had the potential to be an emperor in ancient times. At least so far, I haven't heard of any emperor whose harem didn't involve scheming and rivalry; they all fought tooth and nail.
As for myself, when I saw Xiao Minxing with Lu Yishan, I felt a pang of jealousy. Not to mention that Lu Yishan actively sought trouble with me; even if she didn't, if I continued living with him, I probably wouldn't be able to tolerate her either.
Thinking about this made me admire Su Qian even more. I almost humbly asked, "How does he do it?"
Mina gave me a look and said, "Your thought process is quite unique; you actually care about this."
"Isn't it normal? What should I be paying attention to instead?" I looked at Mina and asked.
She shot me a glance without holding back and said, "Don't you want to know what those women are thinking?"
I hadn't really thought about it because she had already mentioned that they got along harmoniously, so there must be no problem. I just wanted to know how Su Qian managed the situation.
Mina said meaningfully, "In this world, any woman, especially those in love, would never be willing to watch the man they love be with another woman, unless that woman is a fool. Speaking of which, fools probably don't understand love either, right?"
It seemed that way, and it wasn't just women; men should feel the same way too, right?
Mina continued, "So think about it: those women either don't love him or they want to prove themselves more understanding than other women to win his favor. How could there be a peaceful scene when a bunch of women are competing for one man?"
Hearing this made me want to laugh. I looked at Mina and asked, "Are you exaggerating a bit? Are there really that many women who like him? Su Qian may look decent and I've heard he comes from a powerful family, but I think he's still a bit lacking compared to Xiao Minxing. Why would so many women willingly do this?"
This time, Mina's eyes nearly rolled to the ceiling in exasperation. She seemed frustrated: "That's called 'beauty in the eye of the beholder,' you know? What makes Su Qian any less than Xiao Minxing? He just has a bit more masculinity and a touch more elegance. Besides, with someone like Xiao Zong, if he opened his arms to women, do you dare say he would attract fewer than Su Qian?"
"So does that mean he really didn't have any other relationships with the women he dated before?"
Mina blew a breath towards the ceiling and said, "All I know is that he always brought different people each time and never contacted them afterward. According to internal rumors, it seems like there was no physical relationship as you mentioned. As for what you've seen at home, I have no idea what's going on. So far, besides Lu Yishan being his ex-girlfriend who still has some credibility, I haven't heard of him being unclear with anyone else."
Initially, I felt a bit happy hearing her earlier words, but then Mina had to bring up Lu Yishan again, and my happiness vanished instantly.
After all this talk, it turned out he didn't reject women; it's just that those women weren't the ones he loved.
Seeing my expression change, Mina gently tapped the table and said, "Focus! How did we end up on this topic? We're talking about Su Qian."
I looked at her in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with Su Qian?"
Mina seemed almost exasperated with me as she tapped the table again and said, "Before he met you, Su Qian was a regular at nightclubs and usually had female companions around him whenever I saw him. But look at now—there's nothing."
I felt she was exaggerating about Su Qian. First of all, he wasn't as reckless as Mina described when he was out; secondly, he wasn't showing off as much now either.
"When I first met him, he was alone too. In fact, aside from what you've told me, I've never even seen him with a female companion. I'm starting to suspect you're saying all this just to prevent me from having a fake marriage with him."
Mina's face turned red with anger as she pointed at me for a long time before finally catching her breath to say, "Qiu Yuhan, your brain really has holes in it, not just one. I've never seen anyone like you."
I shrugged my shoulders to show her that I was just as helpless.
Perhaps to prove her point, Mina, in a fit of urgency, said to me, "Look, if you don't believe me, that's fine. Let's call Su Qian right now and invite him to the bar or nightclub tonight. Do you believe that as soon as we walk in, a bunch of girls will rush over?"
I didn't believe it; I really didn't. But I was genuinely curious, so I said to her, "Sure, go ahead and invite him. I want to see this for myself."
To my surprise, Mina actually took out her mobile phone and called Su Qian.
Of course, it wasn't that we wanted to see his skills in picking up girls; rather, I had something I wanted to discuss with him, so we arranged to meet at a KTV not far from her house.
No one knew why we were meeting in such a noisy place; who could hear what the other was shouting?
I wondered if Su Qian would be suspicious. Anyway, once Mina hung up the phone, I looked at her as if she were foolish for the first time.
She wasn't anxious at all. As she often said, only those with low intelligence feel the need to constantly prove how smart they are. Truly intelligent people don't have to exert effort in doing so; they just need to apply their intelligence properly, and others will naturally acknowledge them.
I had to admit that Mina had a lot of wisdom in her head; I couldn't mess with her.
And Su Qian seemed to think this was perfectly normal too. Around four in the afternoon, he called us and said, "I've already booked a room. What time can you two come over?"
