Chapter 49: Ma Xun, Do You Dare Say You’re a Good Person?

The Capital City is surrounded by mountains.

A Mercedes-Benz stopped on a small hillside.

“Want to go out and take a look?”

“Look at what?”

“You’ll know once we go out.”

“I…”

Ma Xun went out first, and Xu Qing couldn’t stay in the car.

As a result, once Xu Qing got out, she understood.

The car was facing west.

The sun was setting.

Ma Xun was already sitting on the hood of the car.

He had long legs, giving him a particularly relaxed vibe.

Xu Qing also sat down beside Ma Xun.

Neither of them spoke.

Until Ma Xun seemingly casually opened his mouth.

“At the airport, you actually wanted to accept that guy’s proposal, right?”

This sentence was like a scalpel, directly dissecting Xu Qing’s chest.

It caused her to uncontrollably reveal her heart to Ma Xun.

And then came another sentence.

“In your heart, I’m the bad guy, right?”

At this point, Xu Qing’s exposed heart felt like it stopped beating.

Logically speaking, or as most people would think,

what Ma Xun said was absurd!

It was clearly he who saved her.

Xu Qing should be grateful to him, right?

Moreover, Xu Qing had seen through Liu Bo as a fraud, right?

How could she still consider the person who saved her as the bad guy, and the person who deceived her as the good guy?

But Xu Qing remained speechless for a long time, fully confirming the truth of Ma Xun’s words.

“You, how…” Xu Qing was silent for a while, still intending to retort, “Is it just because I rejected you just now?”

That’s right, Ma Xun had asked for her help in the car, and Xu Qing had said no.

Was it because of this?

Ma Xun smiled, “I said all this…for your own good.”

“For my good?”

“If I just forced you to agree to help, I have other methods.”

“Ma Xun, don’t brag, I just won’t agree! I just don’t want to be used by you! I don’t believe you have any methods to force me to agree!”

Xu Qing’s words were still quite strong.

But Ma Xun smiled and looked at her, saying, “What if I… slept with you? Until you agree?”

Simple and direct!

Xu Qing’s face instantly flushed red, and she angrily retorted, “Even if that were the case, then, then…”

This plump and lovely beauty’s mouth was faster than her brain. She spoke before thinking, and then she realized… she might actually not be able to resist agreeing.

But this was too embarrassing!

Ma Xun brought the conversation back, “Let’s talk about your situation.”

Could it be that he really did it for my own good?

Xu Qing’s heart wavered at this moment.

Ma Xun then began to present the facts.

“Miss Xu Qing, you are still in a state of being completely controlled by that guy.

And because you are in this state, you can’t distinguish between good and bad people.

Do you know how much risk I took saving you?

Just talking about this car, although I concealed the license plate, even in the Capital City.

There aren’t many cars like this, right?

If anyone really wants to investigate, they will still find me.

Essentially, what happens between you and that Liu Bo doesn’t really matter to me.

We were only together that one night…”

Xu Qing was about to nod in agreement with Ma Xun’s words.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually mentioned that night.

She immediately interrupted, “Didn’t you also have ulterior motives when you saved me?”

Ma Xun helplessly shook his head, “What did I just say? I have other methods.

For example, what if I said this?”

“What would you say?”

Xu Qing looked at Ma Xun, and Ma Xun suddenly leaned over.

The distance between them was extremely close, and then…

“Miss Xu Qing, you wouldn’t want Mr. Liu Bo to know about what happened between us that night, would you?”

After hearing this, Xu Qing instinctively recoiled.

She had been sitting sideways in the car, so being this close to Ma Xun meant she was sitting sideways.

But her sudden movement backward was too violent, and she was about to fall.

Ma Xun grabbed her.

Xu Qing’s heart pounded as she was pulled into Ma Xun’s embrace.

But they immediately separated.

“You, how could you…” Xu Qing subconsciously wanted to scold him, because what Ma Xun had just said was too much!

It was a threat!

But Xu Qing also understood that she couldn’t actually scold him.

He didn’t do anything like that!

Ma Xun knew it was enough, so he asked, “Now, am I a good person?”

Xu Qing could only nod.

Ma Xun continued, “Regarding the proposal at the airport, you actually found it quite romantic in your heart.”

This time, he didn’t use a questioning tone.

But Xu Qing couldn’t help but give her answer, “But I didn’t agree.”

Ma Xun shook his head with a smile, “Be honest, were you moved?”

“This…” Xu Qing was speechless for a moment.

This time, Ma Xun directly scolded, “Xu Qing, you are such a stupid woman! Have you ever thought, who among good people would propose under those circumstances?

He must have prepared the ring in advance, right?

And those reporters? How did they appear?

And in that situation, you didn’t really think it was dangerous for him, did you?

There were so many people, even without the reporters, they were all passersby.

Do you think what these passersby would do after he took out the diamond ring?

They would definitely cheer!

They would definitely shout for you to marry him!

Anyway, it’s just shouting for a while, no one cares what kind of person that man is, right?

Still don’t understand?”

These words were like knives,

shattering all the little feelings Xu Qing had for Liu Bo!

It was another carefully planned deception!

He was still deceiving her!

Xu Qing understood, but her tears couldn’t stop flowing.

Ma Xun didn’t speak again after that, letting this stupid woman think it over by herself.

Actually, at the moment when Liu Bo knelt down on one knee.

An image instantly appeared in Ma Xun’s mind.

Commissioner Qi became concrete! (A reference to a powerful figure, likely someone in a position of authority)

The deception Liu Bo orchestrated was on the verge of collapse.

He was simply trying to utilize Xu Qing’s powerful background.

But this kneeling was undoubtedly a great shame for him.

And Ma Xun’s intervention had two main reasons.

This event didn’t happen in the original timeline, so it was somewhat connected to him.

The other reason, of course, was for the movie “That Mountain.”

Xu Qing’s background was powerful enough; getting her help should allow him to connect with the postal system.

However, as Ma Xun said.

He could have used other methods, but he hadn’t used them.

Well, he also admitted that discussing these things with Xu Qing.

Was indeed for the woman’s good.

Or perhaps he was just a big con man, seeing such a clumsy scheme, yet it could deceive such a plump and lovely beauty, and he felt resentful?

Maybe.

Xu Qing cried for a long time, until the sunset glow was completely absorbed by the earth.

“How do you want me to help you?”

Xu Qing finally said something relatively normal.

Ma Xun smiled, “This will actually benefit you as well.”

“Ah?” Xu Qing didn’t react for a moment.

Then, Ma Xun pulled Xu Qing into his arms.

Their eyes met, and they kissed.

“Been wanting to do this for a while, haven’t you?”

“No, I haven’t!”

Although she said that, Xu Qing’s face was already blushing.

Ma Xun was even more straightforward.

He directly pressed the plump and lovely beauty onto the car hood.

And then lifted her legs…

…

When they returned home, it was already late at night.

“Where have you been!”

“I, I just…”

“Oh dear! Old man, why are you yelling?”

“It’s your fault for spoiling her! Did you watch the news? You caused such a big scene at the airport!”

Facing her father’s anger, Xu Qing wasn’t panicked.

Because Ma Xun had said this would happen.

Except he said it right after…she couldn’t think about that now.

She needed to deal with this properly.

“Dad! That man was harassing me!”

Xu Qing’s eyes were firm, which made her father stunned.

Right, my daughter didn’t agree to anything.

“Then him, you…”

Xu Qing said even more firmly, “Those are all the media’s random reporting!”

That makes sense; the media loves gossip.

Xu Qing’s father now had a look of shame.

He had misunderstood his daughter.

But…

“But where did you go afterward? A mysterious man picked you up in a Mercedes-Benz, what’s the situation?”

Yes, the media reported this.

Xu Qing immediately said, “That’s my friend, he saw that something happened to me, so he helped me. He actually came to pick me up; he wants me to film a movie…”

“What movie?”

“It’s a very good movie, but it needs to connect with the postal system.”

“Why does it need to connect with the postal system? He’s definitely trying to use you to gain some benefits…”

“Dad! Why do you always think the worst of others? This movie is called “That Mountain, That Man, That Dog,” adapted from the short story of the same name. The novel won a major award. And Xiao Xiang Film Studio has picked up the project; it’s going to be filmed soon. He wants to work with the postal system because the story is about a mountain area postman. It’s hard work delivering mail in the mountains; each trip takes three days, covering more than 200 kilometers of mountain roads. Working with the postal service and setting an example isn’t a good thing?”

Xu Qing’s explanation softened her father’s face.

“This, this is indeed a good thing.”

Xu Mom immediately chimed in, “Old Xu! What are you still thinking about? Quickly call that…isn’t he in the postal system?”

“Is that okay? Doesn’t he need to sleep?”

“I’m afraid you’ll forget tomorrow!”

“I definitely won’t forget! I’ll forget such an important thing overnight?”

Seeing her parents arguing, Xu Qing wanted to laugh, but she quickly went back to her room.

But as she went upstairs, Xu Qing remembered something.

This movie is a good thing.

If Ma Xun had directly mentioned the movie from the start, I would have definitely agreed to help.

But he didn’t do that, could it be…

He just wanted to sleep with me?

At this thought, Xu Qing got angry.

Ma Xun, do you dare say you’re a good person?!

Thank you Zhu Ziyi for the 10,000 reward, thank you, thank you!

Let me explain briefly: From now on, if you give a 10,000 reward, there will be an extra chapter. This first 10,000 reward will get two extra chapters after the release. Thank you, thank you.
