Chapter 1557 - 1560: A Woman's Heart Only a Woman Knows

Looking at the seemingly reserved yet dignified and gracious Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang smiled and then said, "The size of one's abilities doesn't matter; you helped me when I needed it the most, so I definitely must thank you."Hearing these words, Wenren Meiqiao's face flushed slightly as she inexplicably became shy and reserved, saying, "You don't need to thank me; you helped me before. Without your reminder, I think I wouldn't have adapted to my current job now and would have been transferred long ago."

Shen Qiang smiled.

At this moment, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu saw off Qin Yurou and the pert young girl Abi and returned.

Originally quite composed in front of Ye Guyun, Wenren Meiqiao instantly became more reserved.

Basically, she just ate and didn't speak.

This made Shen Qiang, who wanted to get along well with her, feel somewhat at a loss for a moment, so he had no choice but to chat with her intermittently while eating with her.

With Qin Yurou not around, lunch quickly ended.

Moreover, for some reason, Wenren Meiqiao, who always inexplicably blushed, not only lost her vigor after Qin Yurou left but became somewhat inexplicably shy.

Speaking softly and gently.

Either a "hmm," an "oh," or just soft agreement; such behavior made Shen Qiang extremely uncomfortable, and she seemed a bit awkward herself.

She completely lacked the heroic spirit of a female general, and in Shen Qiang's eyes, her charm significantly diminished.

Because this Wenren Meiqiao had no charm to speak of at all.

After all, Shen Qiang preferred the valiant and carefree woman who playfully said, "I have two swords," a strong, dangerous, proud yet extraordinarily charming woman.

So, despite considering that Wenren Meiqiao's sudden reserve and gentleness might be because she liked him, such a Wenren Meiqiao entirely failed to pique Shen Qiang's interest. Moreover, the "oh," "ah," "yes," chatting style made Shen Qiang feel extremely bored.

Thus, after the meal, Shen Qiang, using the excuse of being tired, asked Ji Wei to send her back. It was only then that the disappointed-eyed Wenren Meiqiao seemed to return to normal, refusing Shen Qiang's offer and drove away herself.

After she left.

Watching her car disappear into the crowd, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu next to Shen Qiang burst out laughing, then sweetly wrapped her arm around Shen Qiang's, softly saying, "Wenren Meiqiao likes you."

Seeing Shen Qiang on the side raising his eyebrows in surprise.

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled charmingly and said, "Can't you even see that?"

Shen Qiang helplessly sighed, "I'm not stupid; how could I not see it? It's just that somehow, when I see the suddenly reserved Wenren Meiqiao, everything feels off, and my interest in her instantly diminishes."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu burst into laughter: "Do you feel she's no longer charming when she only responds without contradicting you?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Not really, but it feels wrong."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu laughed with squinted eyes, saying, "Silly Shen Qiang, don't you understand? It's apparent Wenren Meiqiao has never dated, so she has no idea how to face you, and because she cares about you, she becomes somewhat strange."

"Because she's worried that contradicting you might make you angry and ignore her, she's become very cautious, paying attention to her image, her words, everything, afraid of leaving a bad impression on you, doubting if she's good enough."

Shen Qiang helplessly raised his eyebrows, saying, "But when Qin Yurou was around, she wasn't like this."

Accompanying Shen Qiang to the car, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu got into the vehicle with him, then mischievously said, "It's easy to understand; when Qin Yurou was there, her mind was focused on defeating the rival, Qin Yurou, so naturally, there wasn't any problem."

"But once Qin Yurou left, the target enemy was gone, so her focus naturally shifted to you, making her insecure; she started not knowing how to interact with you, became helpless, entirely uncertain about what to say."

Shen Qiang chuckled lightly and then sighed, raising his eyebrows, "I don't like this Wenren Meiqiao; I like the woman full of danger and energy, who would draw her swords at any disagreement, not this timid one."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu giggled, saying, "Don't worry; she simply doesn't know how to interact with you now and lacks confidence. If you encourage her, let her know you accept her strong side, giving her confidence, she won't be like this anymore. She'll still be that charming double-sword demoness."

Looking at the charming gaze of Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, Shen Qiang chuckled, asking, "Do you like her?"

Hearing this, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Frankly, I actually prefer Qin Yurou. She's very knowledgeable, especially about flower arrangement and horticulture, very intelligent, wise, like a real little fairy."

"But precisely because of this, I feel Wenren Meiqiao is more genuine. For example, if she likes to eat meat, she eats meat; if she disapproves, she mocks openly, not keeping things hidden. You don't need to worry about her being preoccupied when with you."

"But as for Qin Yurou, she always smiles on her face, but it's hard to guess what she's thinking inside."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "I asked you about Wenren Meiqiao, why did you start talking about Qin Yurou."

The charming Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu softly said, "Because Qin Yurou also likes you, only her self-control far exceeds Wenren Meiqiao's. For instance, I noticed Abi always pauses before mocking Wenren Meiqiao, so those words must have been taught by Qin Yurou."

"You mean she's scheming?" Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The charming Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang and said playfully, "Not at all. I mean, Qin Yurou is a woman with a grand view of the situation. Up to this point, I feel she hasn't realized she's attracted to you."

"But she still chooses not to confront Wenren Meiqiao directly. This isn't because she's afraid of Wenren Meiqiao or thinks you won't notice she's competing with Wenren Meiqiao."

"It's because she doesn't want to make things too difficult for you, leaving herself room for maneuvering. After all, no matter what happens between Abi and Wenren Meiqiao, if Wenren Meiqiao and she go to the Heshenghe Mountain Villa in the future, she can still lightly say that Abi was young and ignorant to mend the relationship with Wenren Meiqiao."

"And Wenren Meiqiao clearly hasn't thought of this."
