Seemingly aware of what Su Daji was talking about, Shang Xiaosong raised an eyebrow and asked, "And then?"
"And then?" Su Daji lowered her head as if reminiscing, smiled, and then raised her head again. "Then we lost it together, which can be considered as leaving a strong mark in history and successfully making a name for ourselves for the next three thousand years."
"Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like such a bad deal after all."
Staring intently at every expression on Su Daji's face, Shang Xiaosong's attitude had become subtly aggressive as he continued to press, "So, Miss Su, who was once gifted a dynasty, now looks down on my Shang Group?"
"No," Su Daji replied decisively, "I look down on the 'love' you speak of."
Seemingly not understanding Su Daji's meaning, Shang Xiaosong frowned deeply, staring intently at Su Daji's expression: "Miss Su, so you are determined to reject me?"
Unfazed by Shang Xiaosong's gaze, Su Daji met his eyes with a relaxed and carefree demeanor, accompanied by a faint smile. "Yes. I have never had any intention of getting married and having children again, and I have long since passed the stage of being swayed by 'love,' 'love at first sight,' 'unwavering devotion,' and 'willing to sacrifice everything for love,' and I am no longer looking for a man to spend the rest of my life with."
"I was invited by Teacher Zhang to come here today to see President Shang, just to relive some memories from back then and to see an old friend from a long, long time ago."
That's all.
"Now I have only one goal: to find someone."
As if finding it utterly incomprehensible, and even as if Su Daji were talking nonsense, Shang Xiaosong retorted almost matter-of-factly, "Haven't you already found me?"
"You've wandered through this universe for so long, traversing so many small worlds, isn't it all in search of the reincarnation of your King Zhou?"
"I'm right here in front of you, discussing marrying you and rekindling our past life's romance. Who else do you want to talk to?"
As if she had already guessed that Shang Xiaosong would say this, Su Daji showed no surprise at all. She immediately laughed so hard she almost fell over and said, "...President Shang, do you know? Before I came to meet you today, I made a bet with my three friends to see if you would say this."
“All three of us bet on ‘you will say that’.”
"And you certainly didn't disappoint us."
Gone is the confident and self-assured demeanor he had just displayed. Shang Xiaosong glared at Su Daji, his expression now showing a hint of embarrassment and resentment: "Su Daji, I don't believe this is your true feeling."
"You always don't believe me, do you?" Su Daji shrugged indifferently. "You don't believe that we women can think independently, you don't believe that we women can't be deceived by you, you don't believe that we women have our own desires, you don't believe that we women were able to distinguish the lies and deceptions you instilled in us from the very beginning, and that we were just pretending to deceive you."
"All men in the world think that women should be troubled by love. A woman goes through a dozen small worlds, working hard and not afraid of difficulties, just for the man she loves."
"It's been the same old thing for thousands of years. Isn't it tacky? Isn't it tiring?"
