Deception of Women

Lifting her head and meeting Louis's outstretched hand with a tone full of tenderness made the woman feel embarrassed, and she tried to wipe away the tears on her face to maintain her dignity as a lecturer. However, she couldn't stop all the tears flowing freely.

"Miss Shangguan, you don't need to feel ashamed for crying, because it's normal. Sadness will always be a part of life, and crying is a way to ease that sadness. It's okay to do it in front of me, miss..." Louis said with a gentle and loving tone, his words sounding like those of a wise old man who had lived for half a century.

In reality, he was just reciting random words from a poem he had once read on social media...

Hearing his words, her tears broke even more, but Louis calmly lifted her and carried her slowly to the sofa. Then, he left for a while and returned with two cups of hot chocolate he bought from a nearby vending machine.

"Drink this, it may not make your sadness disappear, but it can lighten your emotions with its high sugar content, isn't that how it should be?" he murmured, handing her a cup with a straw inserted, letting her take it even though she looked at him with some hesitation.

"Um, thank you..."

Accepting it, Louis watched her drink the beverage slowly while walking to the window and gazing silently at the sky, lost in thought.

'Did you say that this is a cliché plot that should happen? But where? I haven't found a single notification indicating a cliché plot.'

[I don't know. I'm just helping you guess using your memory as the writer, so don't ask me.]-'Hey, isn't this just going to waste my time...? Don't you know that? I don't care about that woman's affairs, even if she's beautiful.'

[This is your life and your will. So, do as you please, Host.]

After not hearing the woman's sobbing anymore, Louis turned to face Shangguan and then bid her farewell to attend class.

"I request permission to leave to attend class, Miss Shangguan..." he said, bowing his head and turning away.

However, before he could leave, the woman grabbed Louis's hand and whispered, "Can you stay here and accompany me for a while? I will arrange for you to be excused from class."

Louis couldn't help but wonder when he heard Shangguan's request, but he could only nod silently and then sit on the sofa next to her.

'Sit'

As the man sat down, Louis began to wonder what she wanted to say when she seemed anxious about something.

'Hey, can you guess what she wants to say? Or does she just want to vent?'

[I'm not sure. But judging from her demeanor, it seems like she has some hidden intentions behind her eyes. Be careful.]-'I already had a guess about what this woman wanted to say before, but it seems like it's a done deal that she apparently wants something, right?'

[That's how women are. Don't be fooled by their tricks.]

Staring at the woman's face calmly, Louis posed his question with his usual gentle tone, "Just say it, miss. What do you want to talk about? If not, then I'll leave."

Unable to hold back any longer, the woman responded, "Um, can you keep everything you've seen and known before a secret?"

"Of course, that's easy. Then, is there anything else you want to convey?"

The woman still seemed hesitant...

But Louis didn't care.

"Miss, can you mention the reason why you're holding me here? Do you want something from me or just want to vent?"

Shangguan became slightly embarrassed upon hearing the question. However, she remained silent for a moment before finally stating something, "Louis, can you help me?"

Louis, who was sipping his hot chocolate, then glanced at the woman's face, finding that she seemed to be discussing something serious.

"Haahhh... What can I help with, Miss Shangguan? Also, if the help involves meddling in your personal matters and life, then I'm sorry, I can't help," Louis said firmly.

The woman was slightly disappointed to hear that, but she then strengthened her resolve and explained, "It's not difficult help, I just want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and show that scumbag that I already have another lover. Because in the past, he said that as long as I have a boyfriend or another man, he would willingly stay away from me and maybe I could even cancel this marriage. Besides, since I married him, I've never wanted to be touched by him even an inch, so he must be fed up with it and want to find another woman. I'm sure of it."

Upon hearing that, Louis remained unfazed. Sipping his hot chocolate with his eyes closed, he then opened them again and asked with a slightly chilly tone, "Then, what's your reason for asking me to be your boyfriend? As the woman hailed as the 'most beautiful goddess,' shouldn't you have plenty of men you can use for your plan? Don't involve me in this if it concerns your privacy."
