79: Chapter 79: Every Creature Has Its Natural Enemy!

What, a virgin?

Xu Qianli assumed Liu Qian was just joking.

With someone like Ge Pingping, who had such a notorious reputation and a history of cycling through boyfriends one after another,

it wasn’t surprising that Xu Qianli was left with a lousy first impression upon meeting her.

Not only did she dress more provocatively than someone frequenting nightclubs, she was crass, spewing vulgarity without any hint of class or refinement, coming off like a gangster girl straight out of the streets.

Could someone like that really be a virgin?

Impossible, Xu Qianli didn’t buy it.

Seeing the skepticism in Xu Qianli’s eyes, Liu Qian asserted firmly,

“You need to trust my judgment as a surgeon, I’ve examined hundreds, if not a thousand women; I can tell just by looking whether she is a virgin or not.”

“This girl, despite appearing quite wanton on the surface, is actually a virgin.

I bet all her flamboyant antics are just a front to avoid being forced into matchmaking.”

“I’ve used that trick before, just not as extremely.

To the unaware, they’d surely take her for a wild girl, completely fooled by her act.”

Xu Qianli thought to himself, so that’s what it was.

He might not have believed this coming from anyone else.

But since Liu Qian was a surgeon at the County Hospital, the statement carried significant credibility.

Perhaps Ge Pingping really was a prim and proper girl just pretending to be wild?

But then again, it seemed to have nothing to do with him, as he had no intention of pursuing anything with her.

Seeing Xu Qianli remain silent, Ge Pingping suddenly slammed her hand on the table.

“Hey you, speak up already, will you be my boyfriend or not?”

Liu Qian quickly interjected, “Sure thing, I’ll accept on his behalf!”

Xu Qianli shot a look at Liu Qian, What do you mean?

When did you get a say in my love life?

Liu Qian gave a mischievous wink, thinking to herself: You’re just a minor clerk carrying a bag and holding an umbrella, if you could become the son-in-law of Secretary Ge of the County Committee, it’d be the fortune of a previous life’s making.

I’m giving you a leg up, why aren’t you delighted, ungrateful thing.

Across the table, Ge Pingping looked as if she had swallowed a fly, her expression turning sour instantly.

“Hey, what did you just say?

You accepted on his behalf?”

“You’re not his girlfriend, so how can you just hand your boyfriend over to me?

I’m totally not getting this.”

“Or are you messing with me, Ge Pingping?

This isn’t funny at all!”

Liu Qian smoothed things over with a smile, “Who’s messing with you?

I’m serious.”

“Serious?”

“You call this being serious?”

“I’m telling you, don’t be absurd.

Explain what’s going on right now.

Do you seriously intend to pass your boyfriend to me?”

Ge Pingping questioned again, completely unable to understand what this beautiful woman was up to.

Even Ge Changhong cleared his throat and spoke up, “Miss Liu, I’m also not quite clear about what you mean, please elaborate.”

“It’s simple,” Liu Qian explained, “Secretary Ge, you want to set up your daughter with Xu Qianli, right?

I think they’d be a good match, so I’ve gone ahead and agreed on Xu Qianli’s behalf.”

“As for Xu Qian and me, well, we’re just having a bit of fun, not aiming for marriage, children, and all that, open to splitting up at any time.”

“If you don’t mind, why don’t you entrust your daughter to us?

The three of us can date for a while, adjust to each other, and whoever isn’t happy can bow out, leaving the other two together.”

“Of course, this is just a suggestion.

If you’re unwilling, let’s pretend I never said anything.”

Liu Qian said with a giggling smile, barely holding back her laughter as the words left her lips.

Xu Qianli, Xu Qianli, you’ve irritated me in the hospital today, so now I’m taking the opportunity to give you a huge problem and see how you solve it.

The other party is the County Party Secretary’s daughter; once you get involved with her, I don’t believe you can shake her off.

You’re going to have a headache!

To let that flirtatious little vixen be with you, with her ways, you won’t even have a place to cry later on!

Hearing Liu Qian’s suggestion, Ge Changhong was thunderstruck, utterly unable to accept it.

He, Ge Changhong, had only this precious daughter, whom he had always treated like a gem in his palm.

But in recent years, being too busy with work and negligent in discipline, he allowed her to develop such a rebellious character.

Her terrible reputation outside became a constant source of worry for him.

Today, he visited the County Government and saw that Xu Qianli was young and promising, and had just broken up with his girlfriend, which gave him the idea of setting his daughter up with him.

Who would have thought Xu Qianli already had Liu Qian by his side, talk about bad timing.

He had already given up, but now, hearing Liu Qian’s suggestion, he initially couldn’t accept it.

But after careful consideration, he saw an opportunity.

He had heard about those scandalous rumors regarding his own daughter, like how she had several boyfriends at the same time; it was quite a mess.

If she could do such things, then he might as well let her be with a young, capable, and bold man like Xu Qianli for a while.

Perhaps that would reign in her heart.

After much thought, Ge Changhong said, “Alright, let’s settle the matter like this.

Xu Qianli, you must treat my daughter well in the future.”

Xu Qianli was dumbfounded.

What, Secretary Ge, you accepted it just like that?

Liu Qian’s suggestion was so outrageous, I couldn’t accept it; how could you?

Moreover, I haven’t said anything; how could you not ask for my opinion?

Xu Qianli stood up abruptly, “Secretary Ge, I have something to say.”

Liu Qian quickly pulled on Xu Qianli’s arm, signaling with her eyes; you fool, don’t screw this up, if you refuse now, Secretary Ge might make your life hell in the bureaucratic world.

Do you still want a career or not?

Ge Pingping also sprang up, “You have something to say?

I have something to say too, come with me!”

Without any further explanation, Ge Pingping dragged Xu Qianli away, quickly exiting the private room and, after looking around, pulling him into a bamboo grove in a corner of the courtyard.

Xu Qianli knew this place all too well; it was here that he and Sun Yan had been passionately inseparable just the day before.

Little had he expected that a day later, he would be dragged over by Ge Pingping, the County Party Secretary’s daughter.

Upon entering the bamboo grove, Xu Qianli asked, “Miss Ge, what’s the urgency in dragging me here?”

“What’s the urgency?

Are you kidding?

Didn’t you see what I’m wearing, and how crude and rude I am?

And you still don’t mind, you actually want me to be your girlfriend?”

“Xu Qianli, you can’t be blind.

Can’t you tell that I’m not up to par?”

Ge Pingping was busy interrogating Xu Qianli; she was dressed in such a manner that ordinarily, men would avoid her.

Xu Qianli, however, was unbothered, which really took her by surprise.

In response to Ge Pingping’s questioning, Xu Qianli said nothing but leaned in closer, sniffing her.

He caught a pleasant fragrance, not at all like what you’d expect from a woman who frequents nightclubs.

“What are you doing, are you a dog?”

Ge Pingping pushed Xu Qianli away, instinctively covering her chest, fearful that he might take liberties.

Xu Qianli looked at Ge Pingping with a half-smile, noting her anxious demeanor and the blush that suddenly spread across her pretty face.

He was convinced by Liu Qian’s words and reached out to pull Ge Pingping closer, wrapping his arm around her slim waist.

“You’re still a virgin, aren’t you?”

At those words, Ge Pingping’s eyes widened in astonishment, blurting out, “How did you know?”
