How could he simply agree so readily?
Shouldn’t he have rejected her instead?
Shouldn’t rejection have followed, just like that popular saying dictated?
Mister, why didn’t you follow the script accordingly?
“Cough, cough, cough…” Lin Yan, who was frightened out of her wits, coughed non-stop. “President… President Pei… Did I mishear… You… You want to date me?”
Pei Yucheng extended his hand when he noticed her coughing fit. He gently patted her back. “You heard me correctly.”
Lin Yan’s brain exploded and she lost all ability to think…
As the man inched closer to her, her mind was a frenzied mess. Lin Yan unconsciously tried to dodge Pei Yucheng, but her newly-created persona wouldn’t allow her to.
Her desire to survive had left her body stiff as she kept kneeling on the couch.
The main culprit was still grinning at her, looking relaxed and composed. “Miss Lin, what’s wrong?”
Lin Yan gaped at Pei Yucheng in silence. Unconsciously, she blurted out, “President Pei, do you have bad eyesight?”
Pei Yucheng was speechless…
Lin Yan hurriedly gave him some advice. “Ahem, what I’m trying to say is that men nowadays have to protect themselves. Girls are getting dangerous these days, so I think that you need to think this through thoroughly.”
It had never crossed her mind that Pei Yucheng would be so innocent and pure when it came to relationships.
Anybody could succeed in wooing him?
Pei Yucheng’s hands, which were still patting her back gently, froze for a moment. It seemed as though he was mulling over this matter. “Indeed,” he quipped.
Lin Yan replied, “Yes, indeed! So shouldn’t you consider this carefully?”
Pei Yucheng glanced at the girl. “Miss Lin, are you trying to hint that marriage would be a wiser option?”
Lin Yan was speechless!
Why did he have such a scary mindset?
Lin Yan nearly shook off her head. “No, no, no… I didn’t mean it that way. I have no intention of marrying you whatsoever! No, I mean, I don’t intend to get married!”
Lin Yan spluttered incoherently as she explained, trying hard to paint a bad image of herself.
However, when Pei Yucheng heard her, his expression remained stoic. His eyes, which were like inky night skies, gleamed behind his lenses.
“Marriage isn’t mandatory,” interjected Pei Yucheng.
Lin Yan was dumbstruck…
This was possible?
But… In hindsight, she could understand…
Pei Yucheng probably viewed her as an interesting novelty. That was why he had agreed to date her for a short period. How could he be thinking of marriage…
Perhaps she had made a fuss over nothing?
All these wealthy men changed girlfriends every other day. This was perfectly normal.
At this thought, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
However, soon, she began to lament once more.
Why?
Why had things progressed to this stage?
She had merely tried to butter him up. How had she gotten herself embroiled…
“Miss Lin, what do you think?” Pei Yucheng glanced at her, waiting for her response.
Lin Yan was speechless…
Her response… What else could she think of?
She was the shameless person… who had stalked him to the hospital and his house. Then, she had professed her love for him…
Could she still reject him? And say what? That she didn’t want to date him and was merely a perverted stalker?
At the moment, Lin Yan felt as if her heart was raging like a pan on fire. “I… What I think is… I really… I’m really overjoyed…”
