Chapter 156: Ill Intentions

Yu Jinmo immediately laughed.

“Hehe, do you think I’m really good? Given that situation just now, any other girl definitely wouldn’t believe you so easily if they were in my place!”

Lin Bai nodded and said very seriously, “Yes.”

In that situation, if Yu Jinmo was certain that he was cheating, he really wouldn’t be able to defend himself.

It was not difficult to prove that one was cheating. They could be caught red-handed in bed or had their ambiguous chat history exposed.

But to prove that he was not cheating was easier said than done.

If the roles were reversed and Yu Jinmo had appeared in the hotel corridor with another man, Lin Bai would not have easily believed that she was not cheating but Yu Jinmo did.

From the beginning to the end, he had only nodded and said “really”, and she had believed him.

What kind of trust was that!

Lin Bai was touched, so he unlocked his phone and handed it to Yu Jimo.

He said, “You’ve shown me the photos, so you can look at my phone as you like. You can look at anything you want, be it photo albums, letters, or call records. Not just now, but also in the future. You can check my phone at any time.”

Yu Jinmo smiled and shook her head.

“There’s no need. I trust you.”

“You’re different from me. I like to stay in my dorm to eat snacks and watch TV shows. But you have to start a business and prove your business acumen to my father.”

“So you will inevitably have to interact with many people. A beautiful girl like Miss Ling will definitely be in your life in the future.”

“But I believe that you can control yourself and that you know the boundaries, so I respect your privacy and believe in our relationship.”

“I won’t investigate anything, not now, and never in the future.”

Lin Bai did not know what to say for a moment.

“Silly girl…”

Yu Jinmo pouted. “I’m not silly. Don’t talk about me like that! Aren’t you afraid that one day I’ll really have a change of heart?” Lin Bai couldn’t help but ask her.

Yu Jinmo’s expression froze for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was clearly much lower.

“I’m afraid. Of course, I’m afraid but is there a point in being afraid? Am I supposed to restrict you from interacting with other girls just because I’m afraid that you’ll have a change of heart? I can’t be that overbearing, and you can’t tolerate that kind of life.”

“So instead of worrying about gains and losses and making wild guesses, it’s better to believe it to the end. At the same time, you should also work hard to improve yourself so that you can always like me.”

“If…”

“If you really have a change of heart, I will be very, very sad, but I will also tell myself that if you want to leave, it’s not going to be worth it to keep you back. I will handle my emotions on my own. I won’t pester you, and I won’t…”

Even if it was just a hypothesis, Yu Jinmo’s tone was melancholic when she said those things.

Lin Bai held her hand with heartache and didn’t let her continue.

“There won’t be such a day.”

“No one can be better than you. God is very kind to me and has given me many, many things. But you are the biggest gift. Other than death, there is nothing else that can make me leave you.”

Yu Jinmo said anxiously, “Don’t say such unlucky things!”

Lin Bai smiled and nodded. “Okay, then let’s not talk about it. Let’s not mention this kind of depressing hypothesis in the future.”

“Let’s talk about something happy. What are we going to do after dinner? Are we going back to school directly? Or are we going to the mall on the way back?”

Yu Jinmo said, “I applied for leave from the dormitory manager before I came out. I didn’t plan to go back.”

This surprised Lin Bai.

However, thinking that they were so far away from the city, he understood why she asked for leave.

“But since you already asked for leave, why did you come out earlier?”

Speaking of this, Yu Jinmo’s depressed mood was aroused again.

She said, “We were supposed to have a small gathering, eat, drink, and have fun. When we’re tired, we can sleep. We don’t have to worry about anything.”

“But then she brought her boyfriend over. She said that the boy insisted on coming over. She couldn’t do anything about it, so we couldn’t unwind.”

“I thought that her boyfriend would only stay for a while and then leave. In the end, he wanted to stay for the night.”

“Although it was a suite, it was inconvenient with the opposite sex around. I also felt that it wasn’t appropriste, so I found an excuse to leave early.”

“Qingqing is the girl who was with me at that time. She also felt uncomfortable, so she left early.”

“She had a car. I originally wanted to take a ride in her car back, but I bumped into you, and that was it.”

Lin Bai nodded and said, “It is indeed inconvenient for a boy to suddenly appear at a girl’s party. You did the right thing.”

Yu Jinmo pursed her lips and said, “But my childhood friend didn’t understand our difficulties. She got upset when Qingqing and I told her that we were leaving early.”

“Actually, Qingqing and I were too embarrassed to tell her that her boyfriend was asking for our numbers behind her back.”

Everything was fine in the beginning, but when he heard that the boy had asked for her number, Lin Bai immediately frowned.

Who in their right mind would go behind their girlfriend’s back and ask her best friends for her number?

And it wasn’t just from one person. Was he planning to use the birthday party as an opportunity to cast his net?

Lin Bai didn’t think that guy was a good person.

“That man shouldn’t be a decent person. Don’t get in contact with him in the future.”

“And that childhood friend of yours, try to keep in touch with her as little as possible before they break up.”

After Lin Bai finished speaking, he was afraid that Yu Jinmo would think that he was controlling her, so he deliberately explained, “I don’t want to interfere with your relationship with your friends, but that guy is clearly harboring designs on you guys. He doesn’t have any good intentions.”

“If you continue to get in touch with that childhood friend of yours, I’m afraid that something similar to today’s situation will happen again. I’m afraid that you’ll be at a disadvantage.”

Yu Jinmo nodded and said, “I understand. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this today. If she invites me again, I’ll definitely ask her in advance.”

“If her boyfriend is coming along, then I won’t go. I really don’t want something like this to happen again.”

Lin Bai asked her, “Then what if it’s the same as today? She clearly agreed that her boyfriend wouldn’t go, but in the end, he came along too.”

Yu Jinmo was silent for a few seconds before saying softly, “Then forget it. We’ll never see each other again.”

She was obviously in a dilemma.

“Do you think I should tell her that her boyfriend wanted to get mine and Qingqing’s number?”

Lin Bai said, “My suggestion is that it’s best not to tell her, because even if you do, she might not believe you. Moreover, that man might even twist the facts and put the blame on you. When that happens, not only will it not be of any use, but you will also lose a good friend.”

“Even if you really want to say it, don’t say it so directly. Just tactfully hint at it. It’s best if she understands it, but if she doesn’t, then forget it..”
