If Zhou Cailian knew what Liao Haishan was thinking, she would probably be furious. She's in business; if she doesn't smile at her customers and isn't enthusiastic, does she have to greet them with a cold face?
However, Zhou Cailian was unaware of Liao Haishan's true feelings, and she genuinely had no romantic interest in him.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't plan to. I have to go now." Zhou Cailian said, and without waiting for him to say anything more, she hurried back to the shop.
She thought that since she had made her rejection so clear, Liao Haishan would stop bothering her.
Unexpectedly, he didn't give up and came to the store the next morning with a bouquet of roses.
Zhou Cailian was now truly unwilling to give him a friendly look. "What are you doing? I already said yesterday that I didn't mean it that way. Please stop bothering me, okay?"
There were still customers having breakfast in the shop, and they all started watching the commotion.
"I'm not pestering you, I just want to pursue you. Cailian, please give me a chance to pursue you. I really think we're a good match. Xiaokang likes you too, and don't you like Xiaokang too? Cailian, please promise me, okay? I promise I'll treat you well in the future. I swear." Liao Haishan was going all out today. He hadn't found a suitable remarriage partner for the past few years and had even asked a matchmaker to introduce him to some women. But with his circumstances, good families didn't want him, and those who did were either not good-looking or came from poor families who demanded exorbitant dowries.
He wanted to marry another woman to serve him and take care of his son, but he didn't want to "buy" a woman who was after his money. Why should he give his money to someone else? Was he marrying off his daughter or selling her?
Liao Haishan refused any bride price that was too high.
So he's been dragging this out until now without finding a suitable one, but now he thinks Zhou Cailian is perfect. She's his type, speaks gently, and is hardworking and capable.
Most importantly, she's from out of town, so she'll be easier to control after I marry her.
So Liao Haishan was very unwilling to accept being rejected yesterday.
Zhou Cailian was genuinely annoyed. "I don't think we're a good match. I don't like you, and I don't want to date you. Please leave and don't affect our business."
She hadn't wanted to embarrass him, so she had refused him tactfully, considering they were already quite familiar with each other. She thought he was a regular customer and didn't want to make things awkward.
But his behavior today really angered her. She had already rejected him, but he still kept bothering her. What's the difference between him and forcing her to date him?
"No, you..." Liao Haishan's expression was a little unpleasant. He was about to say something more when Yu Qiuying came out from the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Yu Qiuying was quite familiar with Liao Haishan, after all, she was a regular customer. Liao Haishan and his son would greet her every day when they came to have breakfast.
"Aunt Yu, I'm here to pursue Cailian. I like her, and I think we're a good match. Xiaokang likes her too, and I want to marry her. You can name your dowry; I genuinely like Cailian, and I'm willing to pay any dowry." Liao Haishan thought that as long as Zhou Cailian was willing to marry him, he would just give her the dowry. Once she was married and he had her under his control, all her money would be his.
"No, who wants to marry you? Who wants your dowry? Don't talk nonsense! I told you I don't like you and don't want to be in a relationship with you..." Zhou Cailian was furious. How could this person say such things? She had already said she didn't like him and didn't want to be in a relationship with him, so why was he still saying such things!
She hurriedly told Yu Qiuying that Liao Haishan had confessed his feelings to her the day before, and that she had clearly rejected him.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qiuying's face also turned cold. "Cailian has already rejected you, yet you still keep bothering her. Aren't you just being disgusting? Get out of here and don't interfere with our business!"
Liao Haishan was immediately displeased to see the mother and daughter turn on each other so easily.
He looked at Zhou Cailian with a stern face. "If you don't like me, then why do you smile at me every day? If you're not interested in me, why are you so enthusiastic towards me every day? Aren't you the one who's been seducing me?"
"No, I didn't seduce you. My smile was just a polite one. We're in business, you know. I smile and am enthusiastic towards every customer!" Zhou Cailian was both angry and frustrated. When had she ever seduced him?!
Yu Qiuying was amused by Liao Haishan's words, "Then I'll smile at you every day and be enthusiastic towards you, so what? Am I seducing you?"
