Chapter 348: The Mastermind Behind Pairing Up Han Mo and Qiao Ran

Han Mo smiled openly, his gaze sincere as he said, "I've risen too quickly in these two years. To protect myself, I did intend to step down a bit, to cool off those who are hostile toward me."

"With you, I've never thought of using schemes. I've long prepared to take my time, to win you over gradually with the rest of my life. I wouldn't use tricks or stratagems just to quickly have you."

"Shanshan's confession truly wasn't my doing, but I understand she doesn't like me. She probably feels bad for you as her mentor, or wants to repay me as her teacher. So, she exaggeratedly confessed in an effort to pair us together sooner."

"Not using schemes on you is my bottom line. But when someone passionate pushes things along, I naturally have no reason to stop them, right?"

Han Mo never feared others' calculations, nor would he avoid high-ranking positions merely because of them.
