In the car, Shi Lan could no longer make out Yan Shixiu’s features, only his silhouette still somewhat clear.
Shi Lan hesitated for a moment, about to speak, but then Yan Shixiu beat her to it, “No need to give me your answer now. I will ask you again in three months.”
“If you know I won’t agree, why bother?” Shi Lan countered.
“It’s just a reminder that we’re in the stage of getting to know each other. It gives you a legitimate reason to seek me out, to hold me, to need me.”
This time, Shi Lan laughed, propping up her head as she said, “Mr. Yan, your tactics are so deep. Aren’t you afraid you’ll end up with nothing in the end?”
...
“That doesn’t concern me.
“You are such a… kid, why are you so stubborn?” Shi Lan complained inwardly. Wouldn’t a woman of equal social status or similar interests be more attractive to him? Gentle and virtuous, or cute and generous women must be more to the Yan Family’s liking. Why was he set on pursuing her twice? At that moment, Shi Lan felt full of sympathy for Mr. Yan.
“Will you agree?” Yan Shixiu’s tone had turned somewhat soft at that moment.
Shi Lan wanted to refuse, but considering that her family would occasionally torment him, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
But giving him hope only to end up with nothing, wouldn’t that hurt him even more?
“Yan Shixiu, you’re not acting like yourself.”
At that point, Yan Shixiu gazed straight ahead, saying helplessly, “I know, it’s just… I’m afraid you’ll run away.”
Shi Lan’s heart clenched, utterly annoyed, “What’s so good about me? I’m willful and disobeying, I don’t like being controlled, I treat men as if they come and go at a whim, my attitude toward relationships is very casual. I won’t change anything for you, nor will I stop doing kissing or bed scenes for you. In the future, I definitely won’t win over your parents’ affection. Knowing all this, you still want to crash into me head-on?”
Yan Shixiu didn’t reply, but his attitude remained unchanged.
Really hating to see good potential wasted, Shi Lan blurted out as she pushed open the car door, “I’ve laid out all the ugly truths for you. If you still insist, then… then fine, I surrender, okay? I surrender!”
This is so infuriating, how can he be so obstinate?
Hearing Shi Lan’s surrender, Yan Shixiu pulled her back as she was about to exit the car, wrapping his arms around her, “You agreed.”
Shi Lan was startled but didn’t push Yan Shixiu away; she just felt very helpless, “In three months, if my mind hasn’t changed, can you let go then?”
“Let’s talk about that later. For now, shouldn’t you congratulate me on achieving the status of prospective boyfriend?”
“Aren’t you holding me already?” Shi Lan’s tone was a bit sour. “Don’t have too many expectations of me.”
Then, Yan Shixiu let go of Shi Lan and said, “You don’t have to do anything, just stand still, that’s fine.”
In the darkness, the two held each other for a while until a coolness began to emerge around them.
Soon after, Yan Shixiu drove Shi Lan back to the hotel. Before entering her room, he kept his hand on her shoulder. Only when Sun Ling opened the door did he say to Shi Lan, “I’m leaving now. Your flight is tomorrow morning, right?”
“I got it. I won’t pick fights with any local dark forces. Go in peace,” Shi Lan replied, slightly irritated.
“It’ll be too late when I get back to Yancheng, so I won’t send you a message,” Yan Shixiu took the chance to pat her head.
“You may send one, but I might not reply, especially if I fall asleep. It’s not my fault then,” Miss Shi was being proudly coy online.
“Sun Ling, take good care of her.”
Sun Ling was taken aback, then quickly raised his hand in promise, “Rest assured, Mr. Yan.”
What’s with this family-like tone? Sun Ling felt like he was going to ascend to heaven. The atmosphere was completely different when the two returned from their outing, wasn’t it?
