Chapter 186 - What an Imbecile!

Chapter 186: What an Imbecile!
Even at 11 years old, his Little Star was so outstanding compared to the other girls. In fact, he reckoned that her maturity was already apparent at that young age! So there was no way she would turn into a woman who would try to snatch her sister’s husband!
He was not a moralistic person to begin with. If this had been any other woman, he would not make a fuss over it. But there was no way he could accept that the perfect girl in his heart could do such a thing!
He did not know if this was because he could not stand the thought that the girl he liked had fancied Bao Junyan in the past or if it was something else. In any case, he just could not accept the truth!
Mu Kexin went into a fit of terror when she saw him marching in.
Don’t tell me he has found out that I’m not Song Xing?
What should I do if that’s the case? What should I do?!
She knew that pretending to be Song Xing could bring her great benefits, but at the same time, it spelled grave dangers. Hence, she was constantly tensed and alert. Any small matters would make her jump with fright!
Just when she was about to faint from overwhelming fear, she suddenly recalled that she had never claimed that she was Song Xing, and neither did the boy counter-check their childhood encounter with her. In this case, he could not blame her for being an imposter. She had not done anything while it was love at first sight for the boy and came after her!
So if he were to accuse her of leading him on as Song Xing, she could refute his words by saying that she had done nothing of the kind. He was the one with the misconception instead!
She calmed down significantly after this.
“Long Feiting, it’s late. Why are you here tonight?”
He shot the question at her directly. “Did you try to fight with your sister over Bao Junyan?”
That got her dumbstruck. Why did he ask that question all of a sudden? Don’t tell me he’s upset now not because he has found out that I’m not Song Xing but because I had wanted to marry Bao Junyan?
In any case, Mu Kexin was aggrieved by the mention of Bao Junyan. If she had married that man, then she would not have to fear her life like what she was doing now!
“If I hadn’t had to leave the banquet because of some other matters, I would have been the one to marry Bao Junyan instead. So I didn’t try to snatch Mu Huan’s husband. He was supposed to belong to me!”
She knew that her grandmother was on speaking terms with Bao Junyan’s father so she had the same idea as Matriarch Mu. Mu Huan was selected because she was from the Mu family. If she had not left the banquet, then she, as the favored daughter of the Mu family, would have been the one to marry that man instead of Mu Huan, the disgraced daughter!
Hence, she never felt that she was trying to snatch her sister’s husband; after all, the man was supposed to belong to her in the first place!
Long Feiting was struck dumb on the spot.
While on the way to see her, he had pondered over what she might say to him. All kinds of answers had come across his mind except what she had just told him!
And not only did the girl not feel ashamed, but she had actually taken it as her right!
What made her think that Bao Junyan belonged to her? What made her believe that he would have chosen her if she’d been there?
And that same question was blurted out of his mouth, “What makes you think that Bao Junyan would have chosen you if you’d been there?”
“My grandma is on good terms with Bao Junyan’s father. Mu Huan was chosen only because she was from the Mu family. So if I were around, she’d never have had her chance!”
He was speechless by now.
He did not know what to say to her suddenly.
What made her think that Bao Junyan would marry her just because her grandma was on good terms with his father? If that was the decision in the first place, then he would have let his son marry the daughter from the Mu family straightaway. There was no need for a matchmaking feast!
Is she really my Little Star? Surely, no sickness can cause such a great change. Right?
This isn’t stupidity; she is an imbecile!
