Chapter 100: Have you ever thought about becoming a regular employee?
Song Yi nodded.
Jiang Budu: "How true is that? Don't tell me you're considering marrying him."
Song Yi: "Every time I date a boyfriend, it's always with marriage in mind."
Jiang Budu: "Do you really want to get married?"
Song Yi: "I don't rule it out. I'm going to get married eventually. It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
It wasn't a direct answer, but she wasn't lying either.
Perhaps because she never had the experience of a complete family since childhood, she still hopes to find someone suitable to live with and start a family.
That's why she agreed to Xu Shengwen's proposal.
It’s just that Xu Shengwen is not the right person.
Jiang Budu smiled upon hearing this, "I'm worried that Xu Shengwen's matter will undermine your confidence in this area."
Song Yi: "No."
Jiang Budu: "Have you ever liked him?"
Song Yi was silent after being asked.
Jiang Budu changed the question: "So do you really like Jiang Yuxu now?"
Song Yi: "He's fine."
Jiang Budu: "He's very good, but you've seen people like him before."
After laying so much groundwork, Jiang Budu finally succeeded in bringing up the next topic: "What about Lao Fu? Did you ever like him when you were with him?"
Song Yi subconsciously clenched his fists and shook his head: "Mr. Jiang, you misunderstood. I have never been with him. That is-"
"I'm not talking about the past period, but those years in Rome," Jiang Budu said. "You lived under the same roof with him for so long, and you didn't fall in love with him?"
"...No." Song Yi's face turned pale and he shook his head stiffly.
Jiang Budu narrowed his eyes, observing her reaction: "You seem reluctant to talk about that?"
"Yes." Song Yi readily admitted, "It's not a glorious thing."
Jiang Budu laughed again, as if to ease the atmosphere, "What's so shameful about this? If other women had been with him for so long, they would probably have chased him to become his permanent wife."
Song Yi didn't say anything.
Jiang Budu chased her and asked, "What about you? Have you ever thought about it?"
Song Yi didn't understand: "?"
"Become his official girlfriend." Jiang Budu looked at her, not missing any of her expressions. "If he wanted you to be his official girlfriend, or wanted to marry you, would you agree?"
...Song Yi felt that Jiang Budu was joking.
He is also a playboy, why would he suddenly say such naive words?
There's no point in discussing this topic: "Boss Jiang, there are no ifs."
Jiang Budu narrowed his eyes: "You don't dare to think? Or don't dare to answer?"
This is a method of provoking someone.
There was a hint of anger in Song Yi's eyes, and he was obviously provoked.
"There's nothing I'm afraid of." Song Yi answered decisively, "I won't agree because I don't like him."
"Mr. Jiang, please drive carefully. They are still waiting for me." Song Yi waved goodbye and turned to close the door, without giving Jiang Budu any chance to ask any more questions.
…
Song Yi closed the door and took a few deep breaths.
Thinking of the two questions Jiang Budu had asked just now, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
If, if.
What a if.
Song Yi's ears flashed again with Fu Xijing's previous joking words -
"You keep saying my fiancée. Are you interested in this position?"
Song Yi scratched his hair irritably and quickly returned to the restaurant.
At that time, Ying Xing had just finished lighting the candles.
Song Yi sat back and sang Happy Birthday to Tang Qing with Ying Xing.
After Tang Qing made a wish and blew out the candles, the three of them each cut the cake and ate it.
Only then did Ying Xing and Tang Qing realize that Song Yi's face was not very good.
Tang Qing asked: "What did he say to you?"
Just now, Jiang Budu specifically asked Song Yi to see him off. He must have something to say to her alone.
The topics that Jiang Budu and Song Yi might talk about are nothing more than the following:
"Some meaningless assumptions, nothing." Song Yi took a bite of cake and forced a smile.
Ying Xing: "If it's meaningless, you're smiling like this, your face is pale."
Tang Qing: "It's related to Fu Xijing, right?"
Song Yi: "I guess so."
She stopped and repeated the "if" that Jiang Budu had just asked to the two of them.
Tang Qing looked solemn and thoughtful.
Ying Xing cursed angrily, "What if? There are so many ifs in the world. Birds of a feather flock together. Two dogs got together and did something unfaithful to Fu Xijing. You're acting like you've wronged Fu Xijing."
Song Yi pursed his lips and put a bite of cake into his mouth.
Tang Qing looked at her: "Why do you think Jiang Budu asked this?"
Song Yi: "Maybe because it's fun."
After all, Fu Xijing himself asked this question.
Tang Qing: "Then how did you answer?"
Song Yi: "I can't."
She paused, gripping the fork tightly. "I don't like it either."
Ying Xing and Tang Qing looked at each other. They both knew Song Yi very well and knew why she emphasized the second half of the sentence.
Good friends should not only be close, but also have clear boundaries, especially on topics that the other party is unwilling to mention.
Ying Xing immediately changed the subject.
She pointed to the jewelry box beside her and said to Tang Qing, "Open it and see what the Sea King gave you. Valuable things can be sold second-hand."
Tang Qing opened the box.
Inside was a pair of Van Cleef & Arpels earrings, diamond-encrusted, priced over 100,000 yuan.
Jiang Budu was indeed generous.
"No wonder those women are so eager to get close to him, he's really rich." Ying Xing spread his hands.
Tang Qing didn't react. He closed the box and said, "I'll post it tomorrow."
She remained calm throughout the whole process and even found a way to deal with the gifts.
Song Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I envy you."
Tang Qing stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
Song Yi: "He gave you something that was originally intended for another woman as a birthday present. Wouldn't you mind?"
When she asked this question, Tang Qing almost instantly guessed where Song Yi's emotions came from.
Ying Xing said quickly: "Tang Qing doesn't dislike him, so why should I mind? I'm so happy to have picked up 100,000 yuan for free."
Song Yi lowered his head and poked the cream cake without saying a word.
Tang Qing looked at her sharply: "What did you remember?"
Song Yi: "When I was in Rome, I encountered a similar thing."
Song Yi drank the remaining soju in one breath and recounted the necklace incident on the Qixi Festival that year.
After she finished speaking, she covered her eyes and said, "I am too hypocritical."
"It's not being pretentious." Tang Qing corrected her pointedly, "It's because I'm moved."
"Human nature is destined to make people anxious about gains and losses when they fall in love." Tang Qing said, "I don't care about Jiang Budu, so I won't waste time thinking about who his gift was originally intended for, nor do I care about what position I hold in his heart."
Just stop there, even if he didn't say the rest, Song Yi would definitely understand.
People are only offended by people or things they care about.
Not caring is the strongest armor.
However, she had unknowingly lost her armor while getting along with Fu Xijing, and by the time she realized it, it was too late.
So any action of Fu Xijing would make her feel uncomfortable and humiliated.
"Did you have such strong emotions when Xu Shengwen attacked you personally?" Tang Qing looked at Song Yi who was in deep thought and asked another question.
The answer to the question is obvious.
