The worst outcome he could accept was something like this: maintaining a tug-of-war on the surface, then slowly pulling the rope backward until she crossed the red line in his heart.
But he couldn't be too hasty, or she would drop the rope and run away. He could only do it this way, slowly pulling her towards him little by little.
He has never lacked patience since he was a child, has he?
Cheng Qicai looked away, stung by the look in Gu Rongqi's eyes. Why did his last sentence sound even more humble?
Therefore, in every confrontation, Gu Rongqi would always leave her speechless with his words.
The end result is that things remain the same. We're called friends, but there's always a hint of ambiguity in the relationship.
Cheng Qicai went from being distressed at the beginning to taking it for granted now.
How can this not be considered a qualitative leap?
After Cheng Qicai looked away, her mind suddenly cleared when she saw the scammers advertising tea-selling girls on the TV screen opposite her.
Gu Rongqi's words sounded rather sarcastic and slick.
She couldn't help but think of how he had been engrossed in watching a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law drama when he was at her house. Could he have learned something from it?
She stared at Gu Rongqi suspiciously, "The way you're talking makes it sound like you've eaten dozens of kilograms of tea leaves."
"What?" Gu Rongqi didn't understand what she meant.
"I mean, what you said was so fragrant with the aroma of tea, just like what the mistresses in those TV dramas I watch say. You didn't stay up late watching those kinds of dramas, did you?"
The more Cheng Qicai talked, the more she felt that this was possible.
Gu Rongqi chuckled, "No..."
"Really?" Cheng Qicai was a little skeptical. "Your last sentence felt like that classic line, 'I'm here to join this family, not to break it up,' hahaha..."
After saying that, Cheng Qicai herself laughed first.
Gu Rongqi had no idea how her thoughts had turned to this, so he replied, "I would never be a mistress."
Mistress? They seem to have talked about mistresses before, but Gu Rongqi didn't say it like that back then.
After Gu Rongqi finished speaking, he also thought of this matter and fell silent, which was rare for him.
"That was before, not now." He already knew that Ren Baiping and she were friends, so his chance to be a "mistress" was gone.
He won't give anyone else that chance later.
Cheng Qicai was unaware of his true intentions. Seeing his calm expression, she secretly chuckled to herself.
Haha, now you've contradicted yourself, haven't you?
