Wei Chi slightly curled his mouth, with a faint smile, “I’m laughing because wishes are always beautiful, but reality is cruel. I advise you to face reality.”
Hmph, he just thinks I’m broke!
This lady loves to pretend to be poor, wants to eat well, dress well, use good things, and have fun. Who cares about wishes and reality?
“What are you thinking?” Somehow, that guy had unknowingly walked right in front of me!
I was immersed in my thoughts, and upon hearing his question, honestly answered, “I’m thinking about how to achieve my previous wishes without spending my own money.”
“I know!” Wei Chi said leisurely.
My eyes lit up, and I eagerly leaned forward to ask, “What?”
Wei Chi’s thin lips parted as he unceremoniously spat out two words: “Dream on!”
After all this, he was just making fun of me. I gritted my teeth and glared at him, “You… bastard!”
Wei Chi was not angry at all, instead laughing innocently, “You know? Daring to call me a bastard – so far, you are the first…”
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes, retorting unhappily, “Is this really worth Young Master Wei being so happy?”
“Not at all, not at all!” Wei Chi shook his head, smiling mysteriously, “This is just proving a thought in my mind.”
“What thought?” I couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“You are truly special…” Wei Chi slightly curved his lips, revealing a row of fine white teeth, his smile gradually spreading…
Could he have fallen for me?
I couldn’t help but feel my scalp tingle, warily looking at him, “Hey, you couldn’t have fallen for me, right?”
The man blinked and ambiguously said, “What if I say I have?”
I rolled my eyes and answered, “I’ll knock you out and find a doctor to check if something’s wrong with you!”
The man slightly twitched his jaw, with an expression of disbelief, “For the young master to take a liking to you is your honor. If you don’t appreciate it, fine, but do you have to be so harsh?”
I curled my mouth, answering, “For someone like you, who is super narcissistic and extremely self-important, there’s no need to be polite at all!”
Wei Chi raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why is that?”
I let out a cold snort, not even bothering to glare at him, “Because for men like you, being polite makes you think it’s a blessing. If I directly say I don’t believe you, you’ll definitely say I’m being difficult, and might even think I’m just playing coy!”
Wei Chi opened his mouth, a hint of surprise in his eyes. After a moment, he closed his mouth and softly laughed, “I didn’t expect that you understand me quite well! You even know what I’m thinking!”
I said helplessly, “I hope you understand one thing: I’m not interested at all in understanding someone like you…”
“But the fact is, you do understand me!” He raised his eyebrows roguishly, looking somewhat pleased.
However, I didn’t understand what he was so pleased about.
Looking at his smug face, I impatiently urged, “Hey, it seems you haven’t directly answered my previous question yet?”
“What question?” At this moment, he started playing dumb…
Although I was trying hard to suppress my anger, I couldn’t help but glare at him, “The question I just asked you – whether you’ve really taken a liking to me. You’re not afraid to answer, are you?”
Wei Chi immediately responded disdainfully, “Don’t be ridiculous. I have nothing to be afraid of answering. Since you want to know, I’ll tell you – yes, I’m a bit interested in you. Is this answer satisfactory?”
GL? Someone was stunned, asking in confusion, “What does that mean?”
I casually replied, “Girls liking girls!”
Someone immediately turned into a curious baby and asked, “What about boys liking boys?”
I answered with a hint of impatience, “BL!”
Someone looked like they had learned something and said, “Miss Fei, your terminology is quite unique.”
I secretly curled my lips disdainfully. Hmph, there are so many things you don’t know…
But the four words ‘cut-sleeve passion’ involuntarily made me think of Qi Chenxuan. After a night, I wonder if that guy has discovered that I’ve run away!
“Hey, are you even listening to me?” Only when his slightly annoyed voice reached my ears did I suddenly come back to my senses, glaring at him dissatisfied, “What? Don’t you know that scaring people can be fatal?”
Wei Chi looked at me with an ugly expression, “Who told you to be absent-minded when this young master is talking to you!” His expression was as if I had committed a grave offense by not listening to him.
I tightened my fists under the blanket and asked patiently, “So, what important thing was Young Master Wei saying just now?”
Wei Chi glared at me before repeating, “I’m asking where your home is. I’ll send you back later and propose marriage while I’m at it!”
Cough, cough…
I stared at him in disbelief, my tongue slightly tied, “You, what did you just say?”
Wei Chi gritted his teeth, his expression slightly fierce, “I knew you were doing it on purpose, deliberately pretending not to hear, right? This is the first time this young master is proposing to a woman, so you better not get too pleased!
So, I didn’t mishear – this guy really said he was going to propose at my home?
Damn! Did his brain get hit or smashed by a flower pot? Something’s wrong…
Seeing my exaggerated expression, Wei Chi couldn’t help but frown and urge, “Hey, what’s with that expression? This young master is here to propose, not to collect a debt. Answer me quickly!”
I swallowed hard, trying to appear calm, “That, could you please listen to me first?”
“Hmm!” Wei Chi nodded, looking like he was all ears, “Go ahead, no one’s stopping you!”
I cleared my throat, trying to make my expression look serious, “First, I’ve already said I’m not interested in you; second, I have no family, so please don’t mention these two words in front of me again; third, I’m already married, so you have no chance!”
…
You don’t believe me?” Wei Chi’s face turned cold as he said: “I’m serious!”
Sweat, this guy is getting more and more intense…
Even the most patient person would go crazy dealing with him. I suppressed my urge to explode and glared at him: “Please, are you done? I’ve already said I’m not interested in you. Are you deaf or what?”
“Why?” Wei Chi persisted: “Isn’t the young master good enough for you?”
I rolled my eyes in exasperation, too lazy to answer. “Young master, the lady’s porridge is ready!”
Just then, a maid knocked on the door.
Wei Chi immediately changed his expression and turned around, calmly instructing: “Bring it in! Carefully serve the young lady’s meal!”
The maid placed the tray on the bed’s edge, and I almost fainted when I saw it. A bowl of plain porridge with a small dish of dried radish – and he claims he’s not charging me!
The maid carefully asked, “Miss, would you like to eat by yourself or have me feed you?”
I simply replied, “No need!”
I had to explain patiently: “I mean, take the porridge away. I don’t want to eat it!”
Wei Chi looked at me with an interrogating tone: “Didn’t you say you were hungry?” I was hungry, but there’s a saying that a principled person doesn’t eat charity food, even if I’m supposed to pay for this…
I didn’t even lift my eyelids, answering impatiently: “How can anyone eat something like this? If you want to eat it, you eat it. I won’t!”
Wei Chi stared at me for a moment, then helplessly waved at the maid: “You can go now.” After the maid reached the door, he added, “Go to the kitchen and prepare a bowl of bird’s nest porridge.”
Oh yeah, now that’s more like it!
…
I’m still a bit… well, you know.
Suddenly, a clear male voice rang from outside: “Am I hearing this right? Who’s so lucky to make my big brother actually serve bird’s nest porridge?”
Strange, this voice sounds familiar.
