Chapter 45: It Feels Good To Reject Too

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“?”

“Huh?”

What kind of reason is that?

Xiang Wan was bewildered.

Cheng Zheng glanced at her from sideways. The speed of the car was not too fast or too slow. They remained silent for at least half a street before he opened his mouth to explain slowly.

“Falling in love is a troublesome matter. Women—are also troublesome. A person’s time and energy are limited. I don’t want to waste my time unnecessarily!”

“?” Xiang Wan was taken aback for a moment.

This was the most perfect excuse she had ever heard.

However… the baffled expression on her face got deeper.

“So, I’m not considered a woman?”

D*rn! I’ve got all the feminine features, alright?

Cheng Zheng gave a light snort under her skeptical glance. “You don’t like me, so you won’t trouble me.”

That makes a lot of sense!

Xiang Wan lowered her head, smoothed her hair, and chuckled softly.

“I’m 26 years old, and my family keeps urging me to get married. You have seen for yourself about my situation. I’m not exactly an ideal candidate in the competitive marriage market. Whereas you, Captain Cheng, you’re a much better candidate than myself. My family members were tickled pink when they see you. So, if I do not agree to be your girlfriend, are you surprised?”

Her drastic change of tone startled Cheng Zheng slightly.

“Of course not,” he replied with a smile, “I know you don’t like me.”

“Not only that I do not like you,” continued Xiang Wan, “we have great disparity with regards to our viewpoints…”

Cheng Zheng narrowed his eyes as he swept a glance at her—that unperturbed attitude of his finally showed some cracks.

There should hardly be any girl who would reject a man like him, right?

Xiang Wan’s eyebrows were curved, showing a glimmer of smile. “Although I did not manage to find love, I’ve always believed in love, and this will stay the same in the future. Never will I settle for someone who doesn’t like me. Captain Cheng, do you understand what I mean?”

He understood. How could he not?

Nevertheless, Cheng Zheng did not believe in all these lines that many young women liked and embraced. He never thought deeply about it, and he wasn’t bothered about it, either.

He was similar to a capitalist who was calculating his resources and regarded the time spent for courtship as a waste of resource. Hence, he wanted to use the smallest amount of investment to obtain the highest amount of gain.

Since it was about looking for a girlfriend, why not choose someone that looked pleasing to the eye?

Cheng Zheng’s fingers seemed to be tapping on the steering wheel as he pondered over for a while. He let out a peal of self-mocking laughter, “So, I’m being rejected?”

“Not exactly!” Xiang Wan could not help giving a chuckle, “this is because you’re not sincere.”

“If—” said Cheng Zheng as he moistened his lips. This little act of licking the lips was particularly sexy. If she had not been “taught a lesson” by Bai Muchuan, an inexperienced girl like her would have easily been attracted to a mature, charming guy like him.

She asked in response, “If?”

Cheng Zheng paused for a while then suddenly turned around to look at her intently. “What if I’m sincere?”

Xiang Wan was stunned for a while.

Pffft! The next moment, she laughed softly as she tried hard to suppress her laughter.

Sure enough, it felt good to reject people!

The smile on her beautiful face was as if a delicate and exquisite Chinese ink painting was being presented. Her face was sparkling and beautiful; every movement of her lips brought about a tinge of playfulness.

“Stop teasing me! Sincere? Hahaha… my tears are coming out from all the laughing. Why don’t we do this? I’ll give you a chance to dig your heart out for me to take a look. Is it orange, red, or black?”

Cheng Zheng looked at her.

For a long time, he did not say anything.

The weather was hot.

There was air-conditioning inside the car.

After the laughter, it was followed by silence which aggravated the already uncomfortable atmosphere.

Xiang Wan pulled her skirt as she felt hot.

It was getting embarrassing to be alone with him. She felt like getting off the car as time went by.

However, Cheng Zheng was very persistent. He drove her all the way to the alley of her neighborhood.

“Eh? Captain Cheng, you know where I stay too?” Xiang Wan was slightly shocked.

Cheng Zheng did not have much expression. “Those in the 720 task force has a copy of your personal particulars. It so happened that I have a good memory as well.”

Uh, okay!

Xiang Wan gave her thanks, took her bag, and opened the car door when Cheng Zheng asked a question unexpectedly.

“Did you notice that I’m actually rather similar to Bai Muchuan?”

Eh? Xiang Wan was baffled for an instant.

Cheng Zheng’s thin lips formed a slight smile. “Well, perhaps you can consider me.”

What? Xiang Wan’s cheeks burned in an instant.

Did he think that she rejected him because she liked Bai Muchuan? And that he didn’t intend to back down?

Therefore, he was actually doing some self-promotion by comparing himself with Bai Muchuan?

In actual fact, he was wrong.

Xiang Wan was a girl who treated her relationship matters seriously.

A person only lives once. A good romance might only come once. She did not want to waste her energy and time on meaningless things, either. Thus, even though her family kept pressuring her to get married, she was still waiting…

Waiting for the right person to appear at the right time.

“Captain Cheng, thanks for thinking so highly of me.” Xiang Wan inhaled a deep breath and smiled, slightly alleviating the rigid atmosphere. “Look, it’s hard for me to reject you too. You’re such a good catch, right? Well, I’m the one who’s not suitable for you. That’s it, bye!”

The alley was quiet.

It was around two to three o’clock in the afternoon when the sun was unusually hot. There was hardly any pedestrian.

Xiang Wan walked along the alley, stepping on her own shadow as she recalled the two horrifying occasions where she nearly got into an accident. Since then, a lot of things had changed…

Be it Bai Muchuan or Cheng Zheng, both were fine men.

It was easy to get captivated with men standing at the top of the modern pyramid.

Xiang Wan admitted that she was just an ordinary human who could not resist temptations.

Nonetheless, she knew exactly what she wanted.

She would not and did not want to easily settle with regards to this aspect.

“Miss, you’re Xiang Wan, right?” The voice of the security guard, Uncle Wang, pulled Xiang Wan’s random thoughts back to reality.

She turned around. “Yes, I’m Xiang Wan. Uncle Wang, what’s up?”

The security guard uncle waved at her. “You’ve got a parcel that’s been here for days. Since you’re here, do take it back with you.”

Xiang Wan had rented the apartment for quite some time, and she frequently came to collect her parcel. The security guard uncle remembered her.

She collected the parcel with a smile and said her thanks. When she opened it in her apartment, she was shocked.

It was a laptop.

The latest MacBookPro…

Who sent it to her?

The Bai Family residence in Jin City.

Nanny Li was packing up the luggage bags.

Bai Lu was holding a tray of freshly cut fruits and walked up to the second floor.

The second floor was so quiet that even a needle falling to the floor could be heard.

Bai Lu knocked on the door slowly, “Little uncle—”

No one answered.

She opened the door and saw Bai Muchuan sitting leisurely on the sofa, smoking. Her puzzled expression immediately changed into a bright and cheery smiling face. “Little uncle, I’ve cut some fresh fruits for you. Do eat some to get rid of the greasiness.”

“Hm.” Bai Muchuan put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

“Little uncle, when are we leaving this place? I can’t wait to get back to the capital. My pet Dumpling must be missing me so much. Little uncle, I don’t like this place at all. We should leave as soon as possible…”

She couldn’t stop rambling which made Bai Muchuan frown.

“You can leave now!”

Bai Lu: “…”

She was stunned, and she peered surreptitiously at Bai Muchuan’s expression. “Little uncle, are you angry? Is it because of that bad woman?”

“Get out!”

“I don’t want to! You’ve already made mom so unhappy that she left. Are you going to do the same to me? If you really do that, there’ll be no one else to help you within the family. Little uncle, don’t tell me you don’t know why Grandpa and the others insisted to get you transferred back to the capital? Isn’t it all because of that woman?!”

“Scram!”

Bai Muchuan stood up suddenly and pushed the tray of fruits.

“You have no right to lecture me! Do you still know who I am to you?”

The sound of the tray of fruits falling to the floor and his face which was as black as thunder had daunted Bai Lu so much that she took a step back.

Waah! The next moment, she ran out of the room crying.

Bai Muchuan sat on the sofa leisurely, flicked his hair, and lit another cigarette.

The light from the flame reflected a dashing, handsome, and melancholic face…
