"Yeah." He held her chin and pulled her face close to his. "Who knows, you might really be a princess in our previous life and me... a handsome young man who abducted you from your home?"
She frowned and pushed his face away, her face was burning red. "No wonder you turned out to be a girl in this lifetime! How dare you kidnap me from my home? This must be the reason why I badly wanted to be a detective... to catch people like you!"
He laughed out loud because of that and when he finally calmed down, he said, "You are only allowed to catch me, princess. You can just forget others." He grinned playfully at her, "I am now your slave, imprison me in your room and mistreat me, your highness."
Nian Jiezhen glared at him. Didn't he know how much his words were affecting her? "b.i.t.c.h, do you want me to kick you out of my house instead?"
He pouted, "You're no fun." He leaned and hugged her by her shoulders from the side. "Princess~"
She pushed his face away from her. "I'm not into girls!"
"But I am." He held her hand and kissed her palm which made her pull her hand away from him in an instant.
How could she forget that Ren s.h.i.+yuan was actually a lesbian? Of course, she wouldn't mind hitting on girls!
Why was he suddenly targeting her? Was he playing around with her?
"My parents would definitely vomit blood if they learn that a woman is after me."
When she imagined how their faces would turn black, she couldn't help but laugh lightly at that thought.
He rested his chin on her shoulder, "Who cares about what your parents think? Did you care about what they think when you pursued your dreams?"
"You're a bad influence for me." She crossed her arms, "Really bad!"
"You know, I can actually distract Meimei while you try to seduce Lu Yifeng. At least with that, we can finally be with the person we love." Ren s.h.i.+yuan suddenly suggested.
Nian Jiezhen frowned as she faced him, "You want to break a family?"
Ren s.h.i.+yuan nodded without any hesitation, "I don't care if their family would break up. We can just give them a new one-"
He was cut off when Nian Jiezhen suddenly flicked his forehead hard, "Are you hearing yourself?"
Ren s.h.i.+yuan knitted his brows together, "What?"
"I may be in love with Lu Yifeng but I will never go that far just for that."
"Then that means you just don't love him that much."
When she heard his words, her expression turned serious. "You don't have the right to say that. You don't know how much I love him and because of my love for him, I rather see him happy with someone else. If he'll be with me, I know that he will never be happy with me..." She trailed off as she lowered her head. "I want him but at the same time, I know that I can't have him."
Ren s.h.i.+yuan stared at her for a while. So Nian Jiezhen was the type of person who would rather let go of her love one just to see him happy eh?
"If that's the case, then I guess our views are different when it comes to love. I think that if you love that person, you should continue to pursue them and never give up on that," explained Ren s.h.i.+yuan.
Nian Jiezhen laughed lightly and that made Ren s.h.i.+yuan wonder if he said something funny. "What?"
She turned to him and smiled, "There are limits to that, Ms. Yunxi. You need to know when to stop. Xia Meilin is married to Lu Yifeng, that's enough reason for you to stop. They love each other and you'll only look pathetic if you insert yourself in between them."
Ren s.h.i.+yuan's lips were stretched into a thin line after he heard what she said. He would look pathetic?
"Do you think that you can make her happier with you? I know that you can clearly see that her happiness revolved around her son and her husband. Stop blinding yourself, Xiao Xi. Do you think that she'll be happier if you take her away from her source of happiness? Sometimes, you just need to accept the reality, you can never have her." She leaned against the sofa and sighed, "I can never have Lu Yifeng as well. We need to accept that we can't have what we want this time."
Ren s.h.i.+yuan stared at the calm girl beside him. Even if she looked like what she was saying didn't affect her, he could see the pain in her eyes and because of that, he realized that Nian Jiezhen wasn't a simple and naive girl, she was actually a strong woman. She was selfless and she was brave, brave enough to accept her own reality and because of that, he started admiring her.
What Nian Jiezhen was right and because of that, Ren s.h.i.+yuan couldn't help but think of his side as well. Would he be able to make Xia Meilin happier than she is with her family?
He ended up sighing in defeat. All this time, he continued on pursuing Xia Meilin but after hearing Nian Jiezhen's words of wisdom, Ren s.h.i.+yuan realized that the reason why Xia Meilin would never look at him even once was because of her strong love to Lu Yifeng. Back then, he refused to believe that their love was that strong. He didn't want to believe that Xia Meilin would never look at him, he always told himself that he was better than Lu Yifeng.
"How about a 100 days trial with me?"
Nian Jiezhen was caught off guard because of what he suddenly asked. "100 days trial?" She repeated in confusion.
