Chapter 124：Beauty's Provocation

After finishing the serious discussion and realizing it was getting late, both beautiful women retired to bed, and Li Weijie quickly washed up and went to sleep. 

During the shower, he kept thinking about the matter. To be honest, this opportunity was very exciting for him! If the last time he felt nervous when serving as a judge, this time he was purely excited because the "Dream Babylon" competition was his dream. His greatest wish was to, like Tian Jian, win the Babylon Hairdressing Award for three consecutive sessions, once again making the international hairdressing industry take notice of the Chinese.

Although his dream was still a long way off, being able to participate was already a big step forward.

Back in bed, Li Weijie couldn't fall asleep because as things quieted down, he naturally thought of the conversation with Su Keko's rejection, which made him a bit depressed because he hasn't achieved his goal yet!

And with an extra person here tonight, their adjacent room didn't feel as quiet as usual and seemed a little lively. Although he couldn't hear their whispered conversation, the occasional burst of melodious laughter still made Li Weijie sense their joy.

He couldn't help but imagine that perhaps Rong Jie was sharing her sexy selfies with Ruotong. Yes, maybe they were taking sexy pictures of each other!

Thinking about the two beautiful women next door untying their robes and posing for sexy photos made his heart flutter, and the slight excitement in his body eased the depression in his heart.

But he still couldn't fall asleep.

What Li Weijie didn't expect was that Su Keko was also having trouble sleeping at the moment!

On the way back, Su Keko's mind was filled with Li Weijie's words, continuously recollecting and filled with excitement and happiness, as someone expressing genuine affection for her for the first time made her feel both sweet and joyful. She obediently followed Li Weijie's instructions and didn't drive fast on the way back.

She found herself liking to listen to him, liking being taken care of by him, and she enjoyed the attention very much.

Thinking carefully about the past few months of knowing Li Weijie, Su Keko's heart felt as if she had just watched a movie! But the protagonist was herself.

When she returned home, she was basically calm, but she found that her heart seemed to be empty.

Finally, at this moment, she felt that she might have truly fallen for her fake boyfriend!

Confirming her inner thoughts made Su Keko both excited and shy. She really wanted to confide in someone, yet she also wanted to savor this happiness alone.

At this moment, a song inexplicably popped into her head: "I've fallen in love with you, deeply in love with you, for no reason, for no cause..."

Due to Lai Changyi's close relationship with Su Deqi, Lai Yayan has been friends with Su Keko since childhood and has become her confidante. There is basically nothing they don't talk about!

This time, Lai Changyi returned with Su Deqi, so Lai Yayan, who hadn't seen her father for a long time, rushed over and visited Su Keko as well. The phone call they received at noon after having lunch with Li Weijie and Su Keko was from Lai Yayan. She mentioned picking someone up, not her parents (her parents usually go to the company first).

Today, Lai Yayan stayed over at Su's house and, as usual, did not stay in the guest room but shared a room with Su Keko.

When Su Keko returned, Lai Yayan was already lying in bed. She had been holding in her anger all this time, trying to appear poised in front of her elders, which made her very uncomfortable. So after Li Weijie and Su Keko left, she simply took a bath and went to sleep.

Of course, her sleep wasn't very restful because she still had a lot of pent-up frustration. Her frustration wasn't directed at anyone but Li Weijie!

Before this evening, Lai Yayan knew that Su Keko had a boyfriend but that they were pretending to be a couple. When Su Keko mentioned that her boyfriend would also come this evening when she picked up Lai Yayan in the afternoon, Lai Yayan teased her that she was being sincere.

When Su Keko and Li Weijie entered the living room, the eyes of all four of them met, but until then, Lai Yayan didn't know the name of Su Keko's "boyfriend." So when she saw Li Weijie, she almost exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, Li Weijie's eyes followed Su Keko's gaze to Su Deqi and his wife without noticing her, which made Lai Yayan a little annoyed, thinking that he deliberately avoided looking at her and was afraid to face her.

When he and Su Ke came over to introduce themselves, Lai Yayan quietly observed his reaction, although she saw a hint of surprise on his face, but he still didn't take the initiative to greet her. This made her even more annoyed because in her heart, she believed that Li Weijie deliberately pretended not to know her.

Why doesn't he dare to recognize me? This made Lai Yayan very angry, but at dinner, she actually found that Uncle Su and her father both admired him, which made her even more unhappy.

From entering Su's house to leaving, Li Weijie didn't say a word to her, which made Lai Yayan even more frustrated. Of course, she didn't speak to Li Weijie either, but she didn't think she should speak first.

Still holding on to her anger and wondering what the two of them were doing outside, Lai Yayan couldn't calm down.

When she became a little impatient, she finally saw Su Keko come back.

"What? Falling in love with that fake boyfriend? Took so long to come back from your romantic date?" Lai Yayan half-jokingly said.

Su Keko was in a good mood and naturally didn't notice that Lai Yayan's tone seemed a bit off, so she jumped onto the bed and hugged her.

"Yayan, let me tell you, he confessed to me tonight! He said he really likes me!" Su Keko excitedly shared her inner secret, eager to share it with her best friend and ask for her analysis.

Upon hearing Su Keko's words, Lai Yayan couldn't help but shudder and secretly contemplate what this guy meant. Was he pretending not to know me, and after going out deliberately said he liked Keko? What's the meaning of this?

"Yayan, tell me, what do you think of him as a person?" Su Keko shook Lai Yayan with a hint of shyness and asked for her opinion.

Lai Yayan snapped out of her thoughts. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, what do you think of Ajie? Your impression of him, your evaluation?" Su Keko looked at her expectantly.

Lai Yayan said irritably, "In any case, he's a fake boyfriend. He's not really your boyfriend, so why should I pay so much attention to him? You don't need to care about him so much."

"Hey, I didn't mean him... He already confessed to me, right? I have to respond to him, right?" Su Keko defended.

Lai Yayan looked at her carefully and asked in a low voice, "Keko, are you really... starting to like this guy?"

"I... I don't know, but I quite like being with him." Su Keko touched her slightly flushed cheek and said softly. "Hey, are we just friends? I just don't know how to decide, so I wanted to ask for your opinion!"

"You'd better get rid of him as soon as possible!" Lai Yayan blurted out.

"Why get rid of him? We haven't officially started, why give up?" Su Keko muttered with a little dissatisfaction.

"Oh, what I mean is, this kind of person is unreliable. If you want a long-term relationship, you might as well forget it. And if you just want to play, he might bother you later, which is troublesome..." Lai Yayan explained.

"Why do you say he's unreliable?" Su Keko looked at her, puzzled.

Seeing her expression, Lai Yayan thought that she had really fallen for Li Weijie, feeling a hint of complex emotions in her heart. She wanted to say that she knew Li Weijie, who not only courted Chu Linger, but also had some unclear relationship with a model (that's what she believed).

But she didn't want to and felt it was inappropriate to say these things because she was afraid she might accidentally let slip all the times Li Weijie took advantage of her. 

Although saying such things might make Keko dislike him more, she felt that this was her own privacy that should not be shared with others and it was also a shame that she would find Li Weijie to retaliate against him.

"Humph, it's been so long since he pretended to be in a relationship with you, why hasn't there been any action? Why did he confess to you immediately after coming to your house tonight? Isn't it obvious?" 

Lai Yayan sneered, "He probably used to be afraid of Uncle Su seeing through his despicable intentions. But after finding that Uncle Su and Auntie are nice people tonight and seemed to admire him a bit, he had the guts to confess!"

"Despicable intentions? How could he have despicable intentions? He's a very honest person." Su Keko defended.

"Honest? Humph, I think he's just pretending to be honest. The reason he confessed tonight is because he found that Uncle Su doesn't dislike him. He probably wanted to seize the opportunity to settle your relationship, so he can scheme for your family's inheritance." Lai Yayan shrugged, irresponsibly slandering Li Weijie.

"Really? Are you watching too many Korean dramas? Ajie wouldn't be that kind of person." Su Keko smiled lightly and secretly thought that if he were that kind of person, she wouldn't have become his friend.

"Tsk! Korean dramas? Korean dramas can't even come up with such 'advanced' plots. Korean dramas have only one format: the male lead is handsome and wealthy, either a company president or CEO, while the female lead is a strong and optimistic poor woman. Then the male lead's father would definitely disdain the female lead, and oh, there's usually a playboy type who's infatuated with the female lead as well. It's just a few routines they keep repeating..." 

As she said this, Lai Yayan became conscious. "By the way, we were talking about your greedy and lustful fake boyfriend. How did we start talking about Korean dramas?"

Su Keko laughed happily, "You were so engrossed, I didn't feel like interrupting you. Continue!"

"Hey, Keko, do you really... like that person?" 

Lai Yayan asked seriously and in a low voice, feeling inexplicably nervous.
