In early April, the evenings are still chilly despite the warm weather.
It's still a bit cold.
Ji Tong was already tired of being introduced to potential partners. Feeling a bit cold, she rubbed her arms and asked herself, "If that's the case, then there's no need. I feel like I'm destined to have only bad romantic encounters."
“No.” Gong Yanli’s hand, which was inside his coat, clenched slightly. After a half-second of silence, he continued, “I’m facing the same predicament as you, and the pressure is no less than yours. Why don’t you consider me?”
Ji Tong stared at Gong Yanli in shock.
I went over what he had just said in my mind.
"Me? Consider you? Consider what?" Ji Tong swallowed hard. "You don't want us to have a whirlwind marriage like Xu Wan and President Jiang, do you? Let me tell you, I'm not like Xu Wan. If my parents knew I was getting married in a flash, they would definitely kill me!"
Ji Tong and Xu Wan's situations are completely different.
Her parents urged her to go on blind dates and get married.
But if she dares to get a marriage certificate with a man in three days, her parents will definitely faint from anger!
"no."
Gong Yanli then realized that Ji Tong sometimes had an unusually wild imagination.
To stop Ji Tong from overthinking, Gong Yanli spoke first, "I'll pretend to be your boyfriend to fool our parents."
"?"
A small question mark appeared in Ji Tong's mind.
Before chasing after them, Gong Yanli had already come up with a plan.
He maintained a distance of about one meter from Ji Tong and said, "I'm too busy with work to think about personal matters, but this is a lifelong commitment, and I don't want to settle. I don't care why Miss Ji is single. Our relationship is fake, so whenever Miss Ji meets someone she likes, this relationship can be terminated at any time."
"...I disagree."
Ji Tong immediately refused.
Gong Yanli wasn't too surprised by Ji Tong's refusal. "Does Miss Ji feel like she's being taken advantage of? During this time, even if it's a fake boyfriend, I will still give Miss Ji pocket money." He paused and continued, "By the way, these are voluntary gifts, and I will make a note when I transfer the money."
There are many discussions about male-female relationships online now.
Ji Tong was also surprised that Gong Yanli knew even this.
"Dr. Gong, I don't deny that you earn a considerable income as the vice president of Shenghe Hospital. My family's law firm probably doesn't earn as much in a year as you do in a quarter. Perhaps many of the women you meet like top-tier luxury goods like Hermes bags, but I'm sorry, I have no desire for those things. I just want to be a low-desire, carefree person who doesn't have to worry about making a living." Ji Tong finished saying what she wanted to say before continuing, "The reason I rejected you is that I don't want the past to repeat itself. I fought for you, only to become a part of your play with your ex-girlfriend."
Ji Tong still harbors some resentment about what happened back then.
She really felt sorry for Miyahiko back then.
I never expected that he would turn around and become a simp.
Ji Tong's deepest feeling was that she didn't deserve it.
"What happened back then, I really didn't think things through at the time..."
"Dr. Gong, did your ex-girlfriend get married? No, to be precise, did she remarry?"
Ji Tong didn't want to hear Gong Yanli, a person devoid of emotion, offer emotionless reflections.
Gong Yanli paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
“Then I guess there isn’t one.” Ji Tong smiled slightly. “I think the most suitable person for you is this ex-girlfriend. I suggest you go find her and don’t harm other innocent women.”
Ji Tong simply couldn't let what happened back then go.
She felt that since things had come to this point, there was probably nothing more to talk about.
"She and I won't..."
"You and her aren't having any issues? You said that before, but as soon as she had an allergic reaction, you rushed over like a puppy. Good exes should be like they're dead. In my eyes, her behavior is just like a green tea b*tch. To be honest, I've never been in a relationship, so I still have a lot of unrealistic expectations about love. Even if it's just an illusion, I hate the existence of someone like that."
Ji Tong shrugged slightly. "Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. I'm going back now."
