Chapter 13 Who is attacking whom?
It's not like Jing Rong hadn't heard sweet nothings before. The French are generally romantic and affectionate. Back then, a French boy had confessed his love in front of nearly the entire school, his passion and sincerity a thousand times better than this. But Jing Rong, with a touch of Nun Miejue in her bones, didn't even raise an eyebrow. She was calm, almost indifferent, completely ignoring the grievance that threatened to overflow from the sunny boy's eyes. But now, Jing Rong wasn't so calm anymore. Amidst a swirling mix of emotions, she still wondered if she should give someone a thumbs up for their proactive cooperation. Damn, this pace was completely missing out on her!
Maybe Xue Jingrong gave her a year not to make things difficult for her - Jingrong thought so, ignoring how Xue Jingrong would feel when he heard what G-Dragon said.
She tried every possible means, but she didn't get much enthusiasm from her boyfriend. Instead, he kept moving further and further away from her. Now, she just became a different person in her heart and became cold and impatient with her boyfriend, but her boyfriend was so impatient to get close to her. If Xue Jingrong was still conscious now, I wonder how she would feel?
Honestly, at that moment, Jing Rong felt Xue Jingrong was a bit of a joke. Was it really necessary to torture himself like this? That man was simply spoiled by them. Actually, the strategy was simple: just try to be indifferent to him in a different way. It would definitely work. But Jing Rong hadn't considered that with the original owner's suicidal personality, if she changed her approach to pretending to be cool and noble, Brother Long might be even more attracted to her.
Many things aren't about the wrong approach, but the wrong person. No matter how many strategies you use, it's useless. In other words, G-Dragon loves Jingrong's style. He finds great pleasure in "melting" his icy girlfriend back into a pool of spring water.
Having not heard Jingrong's expression for a long time, Brother Long was a little unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jing Rong immediately replied: "Nothing."
Quan Zhilong seemed to have suddenly realized something and asked, "Are you touched?"
Jing Rong twitched his lips silently. How did he "discover" it?
The more Quan Zhilong thought about it, the more he felt that his girlfriend was a treasure now. Whether she was pretending to be indifferent or elegant to attract his attention, he would have thought it was pretentious in the past. But he had to say that his girlfriend was just acting right now. She was so cute. She couldn't even pretend to be more real. Quan Zhilong was filled with tenderness for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Baby, don't think too much. I'm willing to do anything for you."
The more you talk, the more romantic you become. But Brother Long, you're so passionate and unrestrained, does your real girlfriend know? Have you ever considered the original Xue Jingrong's feelings, dear?!
For Xue Jingrong, this is a truly sad story. While Jingrong was speechless, he also felt like gloating over his misfortune. He believed that those who do evil will eventually perish. This is the best portrayal of Xue Jingrong. Out of some dark and difficult-to-explain psychology, Jingrong replied seriously, "Well, thank you."
Such a simple answer left even the brain-deep in a state of utter helplessness. Honey, where was the promise of being moved to tears? But Brother Long was a man of courage, always rising to the occasion. Jing Rong's indifference couldn't faze him at all. And, contemplating Jing Rong's simple words, Brother Long began to feel satisfied again. Despite his girlfriend's restraint, acting as if they were strangers, would a stranger react so calmly to a friendly gesture? His girlfriend's simple "hmm" was incredibly self-assured, clearly showing she wasn't shy with him at all!
Brother Long was having a lot of fun imagining things the whole time. No matter how Jingrong reacted, he could always find the best explanation for her. If Jingrong knew what he was thinking, she would probably be moved. Damn, such considerate men are almost extinct nowadays!
"Baby, you don't need to thank me."
Jing Rong couldn't bring himself to say such cheesy words, so he could only respond decisively and swiftly, "Okay."
Still so confident, Quan Zhilong lowered his head and smiled, his voice even softer: "Baby, when will you come back? I'll pick you up, okay?"
Speaking of coming back, Jing Rong finally remembered that she still had important things to do and said, "It will take a few days, that... dear." After a pause, Jing Rong still used a nickname instead of Quan Zhilong's name. After all, they were a boyfriend and girlfriend. She couldn't just call him "Quan Zhilong" all the time, right? Calling by name would definitely be calling the last word or two, but Jing Rong had lived abroad for several years and felt that calling someone by their name alone was something that only a very close relationship could do. Compared to "Zhilong" or something like that, she still felt that "dear" was more stress-free. If he liked, maybe she could also call him "baby" a few times?
G-Dragon was still feeling gratified by his girlfriend's affectionate name for him, and he felt more and more that he had made a good call. His girlfriend also liked to call him "dear" before her "personality change", but he didn't pay attention to these details at that time.
To be honest, the relationship with Xue Jingrong really meant nothing to G-Dragon. They had known each other for more than two years, but he was not very familiar with her. It was just that their social circles overlapped, so they would occasionally meet at parties. He probably knew that Xue Jingrong liked him, and it should have never changed since they first met, but the eldest lady had too strong self-esteem at that time and did not reveal anything, so G-Dragon pretended not to know. He had a girlfriend with whom he had a good relationship at that time, and he would occasionally bring her to his friends' parties.
His relationship with Sol Kyung-young had improved somewhat, but only in the last few months. That was the darkest time in his life. He was framed, drugged, and ostracized by the mainstream Korean media. It was so dark that it seemed as if there was no light at all. It wasn't just him, but their group as well, that was in an unprecedented crisis. All activities for several members were suspended. He felt depressed and overwhelmed during that time. Some of his so-called friends in the industry completely disappeared. He didn't feel sad much, but always tried to make things better. How many people in this industry are truly willing to help in times of need? But her ruthless departure was a huge blow to him. Even if their feelings were not deep, she left without hesitation at his lowest point. He couldn't help but wonder if the woman who had originally pursued him to be with him was because she liked him as a person, or just because he was GD, because he was in Big Bang?
What that woman did was in stark contrast to what Xue Jingrong did, who took the initiative to stand up and comfort and encourage him at this moment. G-Dragon agreed to Xue Jingrong because he was moved at the moment. If Big Bang could get through the difficulties safely this time, he would consider being with her, but feelings cannot be forced. G-Dragon thought about treating Xue Jingrong well, but the reality was that he didn't like her and was not happy with her. Even with Xue Jingrong's increasingly tight pace, he wanted to escape, so he always found various excuses and had to be busy even if he was not busy. Fortunately, Big Bang had just returned and there were many things he really had to do.
Quan Zhilong was still immersed in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard his girlfriend calling him. He came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jing Rong said in a cold voice: "Sorry, the general manager of our partner is hosting a dinner party, I have to go there."
Even though G-Dragon wanted to chat a little more, he couldn't stop her once the topic of work came up. He wasn't optimistic about his girlfriend's career, and the so-called president was probably just a figurehead. After knowing her for over two years, G-Dragon knew exactly what kind of person Xue Jingrong was. So when Brother Long said he'd support her, he meant it. Xue Jingrong lived a luxurious life, but the rich man had the means.
"I see..."
"Um."
Quan Zhilong was silent again. His girlfriend's "hmm" was so powerful and concise. He thought his regret would make her react differently. Now, Quan Zhilong was really disappointed. His girlfriend was playing dumb, so he could only go on his own: "But what should I do if I can't bear to leave you?"
Jing Rong was silent for a moment. The man was so flexible that she didn't even know where to start complaining. She said weakly, "Be good, don't make trouble."
Damn it, does he really look like he’s being unreasonable? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
Jing Rong's reaction was always beyond his expectations. Brother Long suddenly realized and stopped beating around the bush. He said directly, "No, you must call me when you're done today... By the way, the partner is a lady, right?"
"It'll probably be quite late after dinner. If you don't mind, I'll call you." Jing Rong had a deep understanding of China's drinking culture. After giving him a heads-up, he answered the second question, "Their President Fang is a man under 30."
Jing Rong didn't like to be bothered and preferred to answer all the questions the other party might ask all at once. However, this habit made Long Ge a little unhappy. He complained, "Why are you so particular about his age? You even emphasize to me that he's young and successful. Are you trying to imply that he's a strong opponent?"
"You think too much." Jing Rong said expressionlessly.
"No, I'm hurt by your attitude."
"What else do you want?"
The word "still" completely revealed Jingrong's attitude. Quan Zhilong immediately smiled and made a very blunt request: "Call me once every morning and evening. You are not allowed to not reply to my text messages. If you have any unexpected plans such as business trips in the future, you must inform me first."
"No more, right?"
Quan Zhilong thought for a moment and said, "That's all for now, I'll add more later."
Jing Rong was silent for another second, ashamed of Long Ge's self-righteousness, and then said: "Then I'll go over first, bye..."
"Wait a moment." Perhaps seeing Jingrong's rare cooperation, Quan Zhilong's signature baby voice made him demand even more recklessly, "Before I hang up, let me say one thing..."
"I love you, darling! Hang up."
Jing Rong hung up the phone as if he had completed his mission, stepped on the accelerator and sped away, leaving a gorgeous silhouette in the sunset. On the other side, G-Dragon, who had the phone hung up, was still holding his phone in a daze, with a smile on his lips that was not as beautiful as usual, and looked a little silly from a distance.
