Gao Liyuan: Did I Run into My Husband

【Oh no, did I hit my head or something?】

【That can't be right! I didn't even hit my head.】

【I’m not a scammer, why are you worrying about snacks first? Isn’t your life more valuable than these snacks?】

Xu Mo was starting to panic.

In his flustered state,

he only briefly glanced at Gao Liyuan.

Gao Liyuan, meanwhile, had turned her back to him,

squatting on the ground to inspect the remaining undamaged snacks in the packaging.

Hearing Xu Mo not only refusing to help

but also making sarcastic comments—

even implying she was a scammer—

Gao Liyuan was furious.

She stood up abruptly,

turned around,

and glared at Xu Mo with a fierce expression.

“A scammer? Your whole family are scammers! I don’t need—”

Finally, their eyes met.

Gao Liyuan froze for a moment.

*Pfft!!!!!!!*

Oh my god!

Did I just run into my future husband?

How can there be such a ridiculously handsome man in the world?!

Gao Liyuan’s heart was pounding like crazy.

Originally,

she had felt a bit of pain in her chest from the collision.

But now,

it hurt even more.

Heartache (or was it heartthrob?)!!!!

While Gao Liyuan was sizing up Xu Mo,

Xu Mo was also looking at her.

*Gasp!!!*

Shocking!

He thought she was a scammer,

but it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

【Holy crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap······】

【Why do I keep running into the female lead?】

【Isn’t this something only the protagonist can do?】

【Gao Liyuan, it’s you!】

Sorry, I mistakenly thought you were a scammer.

【If it’s you, then it’s not surprising that you’d care more about the snacks than your own safety—after all, you’re a total homebody.】

【Wait… how did she know I thought she was a scammer?】

“Ding, congratulations, host, you’ve received +9527 in cash.”

Xu Mo’s magnetic voice rang out.

“Ahem… how did you know what I was thinking?”

Xu Mo spoke while checking if she was injured anywhere.

One thing at a time.

He had hit someone.

Even though it wasn’t entirely his fault,

he had to make sure she wasn’t seriously hurt, right?

Especially since she was the female lead.

The more female leads,

the higher the chance of taking down the Xu family.

Better to let things slide than to make a mistake!

Meanwhile, Gao Liyuan was completely baffled.

What the heck?

What I was thinking?

How could I possibly know what you’re thinking?

Didn’t you just say it out loud?

…

Gao Liyuan paused again.

After all this time,

it suddenly dawned on her.

If Xu Mo had said it himself,

his mouth should have moved when he spoke.

But his mouth hadn’t moved at all!

Not only that, but he even knew her name.

From the looks of it, he even recognized her?

This flood of information was enough to shock her for an entire year!

“I… how could I possibly know what you’re thinking…”

Under Xu Mo’s gaze,

Gao Liyuan’s cheeks turned red.

This man was just too handsome!

What was she saving all that money for anyway?

Wasn’t it to marry a man like him?

This guy in front of her seemed perfect.

Xu Mo looked at her suspiciously.

Gao Liyuan felt a bit unnerved by his stare.

She pointed her fair index finger at Xu Mo’s flashy green sports car and said, “You’re driving a sports car, and I’m riding an electric bike. Isn’t it normal for you to think I’m a scammer when I suddenly appear in front of your car?”

Xu Mo felt

that Gao Liyuan’s explanation had some holes in it,

but at the same time, it made sense.

After all, things like this had happened to other people before.

Taking advantage of the situation,

since neither of them knew each other,

Xu Mo had only one thought:

to get out of there as quickly as possible.

He didn’t want to get involved with any female leads from the story before their time.

“I’ll transfer you some money. You can go see a doctor yourself.”

Xu Mo pulled out his phone and spoke through gritted teeth.

At this point,

he could only go along with the mistake.

He really was treating her like a scammer looking for money.

Xu Mo knew Gao Liyuan wasn’t short on cash,

but he didn’t want to get involved with her at all!!!

Given how messed up the plot was,

who knew what kind of chain reaction this might trigger later?

To avoid the story taking an unpredictable turn,

Xu Mo decided to follow the age-old wisdom:

When in doubt, run away!

Gao Liyuan smirked, revealing a villainous expression.

Wow!

I’m calling it now—this guy thinks I’m some weak, helpless scammer girl?

Even though he clearly recognized me,

why is he pretending not to know me?

Is he hiding something?

Being able to hear his thoughts made Gao Liyuan ecstatic.

There was no way she was letting this hottie get away!

Her heart was racing so fast it felt like it might burst.

She clutched her chest, putting on a pained expression.

“Ouch… my chest hurts so much. It must be from the collision earlier…”

The chest pain was real!

When people meet, it’s fate.

When a person meets a car, it’s destiny.

When cars meet, it’s an accident.

Now, with both person and car involved,

how could this not be a match made by the heavens?

“Chest pain??” Xu Mo panicked even more.

【Damn, we need to get her checked out!】

【Take her to the best hospital for a full examination!】

【We can’t risk any long-term complications!】

Gao Liyuan’s heart was about to give out!

Why are you chasing after me like this?

Because you’ve got the charm!

This guy was just her type.

He spoke so sweetly,

was ridiculously handsome,

and actually cared about her.

So considerate!

She had to win him over, no doubt about it!

Before Gao Liyuan could say anything,

Xu Mo’s thoughts continued.

【The female lead can’t afford to have any lasting injuries.】

【That idiot Dragon King is counting on her hacking skills to infiltrate the Xu family’s system.】

【If she messes up, it’s game over.】

Xu Mo helped Gao Liyuan pick up her electric bike

and moved it to the side of the road where bikes were parked.

Then he turned to her and said,

“Come with me. I’ll call someone to clean up here and take your bike to the hospital.”

“Let’s go to the hospital now and get you checked out.”

Xu Mo’s voice was so smooth it could make someone pregnant.

If you ignored his inner thoughts,

he was the perfect gentleman.

The ideal dream man.

A super husband!

But everything he was thinking

was being heard loud and clear by Gao Liyuan!

He knew her identity,

he knew what she did for a living,

and yet he still didn’t reveal anything.

Instead, he was worrying about some female lead, male lead,

and something about a Dragon King.

What the…

Could he be sent by the Dragon King?

At this thought,

Gao Liyuan’s chest pain instantly disappeared.

Her hard-earned money

was already in her pocket.

There was no way she was giving it back!

That money had a mind of its own now.

It was hers, blood-bound and all.

“You… who are you?” Gao Liyuan bit her lip.

Xu Mo blinked. “Me? I’m Xu Mo.”

“Oh, you’re Xu Mo, huh… wait…” Gao Liyuan realized something was off.

“You’re Xu Mo?”

She looked at him in disbelief,

her voice rising a bit.

Finally meeting the man himself,

thanks to Xu Mo,

she had managed to scam that guy Lin Fan out of some money last time.

It was a total freebie.

As a hacker—no, a super hacker—

spending money was never an option.

All she needed to do was tweak some data,

create her own cheat scripts,

and she’d dominate the game!

A true goddess descending from the heavens!

But that’s beside the point.

The point was Gao Liyuan.

A seasoned freeloader.

“You know me?”

Now it was Xu Mo’s turn to panic.

No!!!

Why does all the bad luck always happen to me?

Gao Liyuan nodded. “Yeah, I know you.”

For a moment,

Xu Mo felt like he was looking at a goddess.

But then Gao Liyuan continued,

“Aren’t you the son of Magic City’s richest man?”

Xu Mo: Oh, that’s fine then. You scared me for a second.

Moshi moshi, goodnight, everyone~
