Cheng Su did not expect Taiguo to ask so frankly and directly, perhaps her rejection had wounded the man’s ego?
Whatever, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
Cheng Su coughed twice and said, "Feelings, there’s not too much to why, like is just like, want is just want, don’t want is just don’t want, love is just love, don’t love is just don’t love. Maybe by saying this, I’ve overestimated my own feelings."
"Are you saying that your past fondness and madness for me were all fake?" Taiguo’s eyes narrowed slightly, with anger flickering in them.
For some reason, just thinking about this possibility made him quite unhappy!
"No, that was real!" Cheng Su knew the memories of this body, knew her emotions, the only change was that the body had a new owner.
"It’s you who has no interest, no feelings for me!" Cheng Su looked at him and said, "Nobody wants to wait in place for a person, Taiguo, just think of the past me as dead. I’ve said it before, from now on, we start from scratch, get to know each other again. Maybe let’s just say, let’s start over and have a romance!"
A romance, what the hell?
"Marry first, love later, I am willing to give us both a chance, what about you?" Cheng Su looked at him with bright eyes.
Taiguo did not speak, as if pondering the sincerity of her words.
"You’re not bad, but I’m not lacking either, so, I think we should be fair, start over and get to know each other again, we might fall for each other!" Cheng Su narrowed her eyes and said, "Or perhaps, you’d rather commit necrophilia!"
Pfft!
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Taiguo slammed the table.
Necrophilia, she actually had the nerve to say that.
So is she insinuating that he’s worse than a beast, no, not even as good as a beast?
Taiguo rolled his eyes.
"So do we agree on that?" Cheng Su looked at him, "As a married couple, we maintain face for each other, especially in front of outsiders. Outside, no humiliating one another in front of outsiders, any issues we discuss behind closed doors, how about it?"
"Do whatever you like!"
"And you wouldn’t interfere with my career?" Cheng Su asked again.
"As long as it does not affect the harmony of the family, do as you please," Taiguo looked at her and said, "Dad always said, ’A harmonious family leads to prosperity in all things!’"
"Good!" Cheng Su extended her hand, "In that case, let’s shake on it, let it be our agreement. As roommates with a secret, take care of me from now on."
Taiguo was taken aback for a moment before he finally shook her hand, thinking to himself how this person sure had plenty of tricks up her sleeve!
