Upon hearing this, Fu Shiqin put down his computer and extended a hand.
"Pinky promise."
Ling Jiao raised an eyebrow at his outstretched hand. "Fu Shiqin, how old are you?"
"Pinky promise, you'll never have the thought of breaking up with me." Fu Shiqin didn't think his behavior was childish at all, stubbornly stretching out his hand to make a pinky promise.
Ling Jiao pursed her lips and helplessly reached out to hook his finger.
"Fu Shiqin, you said you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Fu Shiqin pressed.
Ling Jiao stared at him for a few seconds and then said.
"Fu Shiqin, I know what you're thinking, but... I might not end up liking you."
Although she decided to stop being defensive and slowly try to let go of the past, she lacked confidence in herself and didn't believe she could wholeheartedly love someone.
Fu Shiqin was stunned for a few seconds. Did she mean... as he understood it, that she was willing to give him a chance?
Although she herself didn't know whether she would eventually fall in love with him.
"Um... are you giving me a chance to pursue you?"
Ling Jiao nodded, then lowered her eyes and went back to reviewing the script and familiarizing herself with the lines.
Fu Shiqin excitedly rolled around on the sofa, then sat up straight, holding his laptop and maintaining a composed demeanor, lest his image in Ling Jiao's eyes collapse.
Ling Jiao caught a glimpse of his actions from the corner of her eye and subtly curled her lips into a smile.
Fu Shiqin excitedly picked up his phone and quickly sent a bunch of red envelopes in his family group, friends group, and work group.
[Second Young Master, has your account been hacked?]
[Fu Xiaoer, have you gone mad?]
[Fu Shiqin, go ahead and go a little crazier.]
...
After Fu Shiyi finished grabbing the red envelope, he asked on WeChat.
[Fu Xiaoer, did you take the wrong medicine today?]
Fu Shiqin replied: [Ling Jiao gave me a chance to pursue him.]
Fu Shiyi: [I'm just giving you a chance, making it sound like you've already won her over and are about to get engaged.]
Fu Shiqin: [At least it means I'm one step closer to success.]
He said that she had been unusually nice to him these past few days; if it were before, she would have refused without even thinking if he asked her for help.
Moreover, she would have paid him rent if he had the means to live there, but she didn't do that this time.
He was initially worried that she wanted to break off their friendship, but to his surprise... she was giving him a chance.
He chatted with Fu Shiyi for a few minutes, then asked Ling Jiao.
What type of man do you like best?
“Serious and steady,” Ling Jiao replied casually.
Fu Shiqin straightened his tie, sat upright on the sofa, and placed his laptop on his lap to work diligently.
Yes, that's very serious and composed.
Ling Jiao caught a glimpse of his little gesture, suppressed a laugh, and rubbed her forehead.
This person is so naive, yet naive in a way that's kind of cute.
Fu Shiqin sat opposite her, pretending to be serious and composed, but secretly he was excited for a long time.
It wasn't until 10 p.m. that I took my laptop back to my apartment across the hall. As soon as I entered the house, I excitedly shouted out to my family.
This feeling of finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is truly hard to come by.
Ling Jiao's attitude changed around the time of the Lunar New Year. Although it was unclear how she suddenly came to this realization, she suddenly felt that the Yang family's incident wasn't entirely without its benefits.
Before going to sleep, he instructed Lei Ning to arrange for someone to come and protect Ling Jiao the next day, and also told her to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Yang Yaozong to prevent him from getting close to Ling Jiao again.
After explaining the work arrangements, he also gave Lei Ning a large red envelope.
