Chapter 773: Chapter 764: Girlfriend (4) Chapter 773: Chapter 764: Girlfriend (4) She could tell he was sweet-talking her with a practiced ease. But Shang Feifei was perceptive and immediately caught the hidden question, “What about those you casually dated?”
Han Yifan quickly feigned ignorance, “Look at how handsome I am, lots of girls have chased after me. But I’ve mostly been able to restrain myself. I don’t go to parties, nor am I interested in group activities. It’s too easy to get sick playing around like that, it’s filthy.”
Not content with playing dumb, he hurriedly assured her, “I admit, there was a time when I was young and a bit lost. I did briefly lose my way, but that period was very short-lived. My heart has always been upright, and it quickly passed. Once I fell for you, that won’t change, nor will I play around. Let’s not dwell on the past.”
Shang Feifei said, “I can’t tell if you’re telling the truth or not.” After a pause, considering she was someone who believed in reciprocity, since Han Yifan had been open, she began to divulge her own history, “If I count, I’ve also had three. My first love was someone I met in high school. Later he continued with dance and I went to a film academy. Maybe it was our separation, we just had less in common, and we broke up shortly after I graduated from college. My second boyfriend was a colleague at the same company. We were both very busy, seldom together, hardly seeing each other a few times over a year, so we split. The third… you already know about.”
She didn’t mention that she had once harbored a secret crush on Bo Yan. After all, it was just a crush that lasted a short while. Bo didn’t consent, so she quickly gave up on it. At most, she was just curious about what kind of woman a man like Bo would like. She later found out it was the girl next door.
She wasn’t upset about losing to Xia Siyu; after all, Siyu had exceptional external conditions. Moreover, since Bo Yan was Han Yifan’s close friend and her secret crush had come to nothing, there was no need to speak up and ruin their brotherhood.
Got it, on reflection, the reasons for her breakups with the first two were the same: too much time apart. What Han Yifan had in abundance, though, was time. As a playboy, all he ever did was plan for fun and frolics or hang out at his metal bar. He had all the time in the world to stick by her side every day.
“It’s okay; you don’t need to bring any of that up. Having experiences means you’ll cherish what’s in front of you more and learn from the past,” he said. He wasn’t a traditionalist nor did he have any issues with women not being virgins. As long as the woman came from a good family, all past events were insignificant—and it’s not like he was a blank slate himself, “I can be with you every day from now on. Wherever you go filming, I’ll follow.”
“Don’t you have work?” she asked. She admitted to having a strong aversion to Han Yifan’s playboy appearance at first, even compared to the pretentiousness of the ‘guy with glasses,’ he seemed unreliable. Later, when she learned his main business was running a bar and a side gig in heavy metal music, that sense of unreliability hit her even harder.
Just like those aimless, hedonistic playboys abroad who had no dreams, no plans, nothing, and only indulge in endless parties.
“Me, work? My dad is terrified I’ll run his company into the ground,” he said. He had applied to be a manager simply to pursue her.
“But you can’t just stay in the bar all the time. Do you have any means to support yourself?”
After thinking it over, Han Yifan said, “If it really comes down to it, I could rent out my houses, right? Just keep one or two for myself to live in.”
Shang Feifei couldn’t help but laugh, “How many houses do you have?” So young, and already planning on being a landlord? That’s seriously lacking ambition!
