She could still clearly remember the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes when Wang Ji said those words that day.
"This has nothing to do with me."
She could remember his unchanging expression and the calmness in his voice.
She could still remember him clearly avoiding embarrassment, and then saying to Dukao and Li Yunfei, "Since things have come to this, if there's nothing else for me, I'll go now."
He was quite humble, considering his abilities.
When addressing his superiors, he would use both humble and respectful terms.
Looking back, she roughly understood why Lena wanted to call Wang Ji to the meeting.
She didn't cry much. Wang Ji was sometimes very cold-hearted, but she was even colder.
Perhaps it was only when she was facing him that she was not indifferent.
But under those circumstances, her questioning, his condition, and his answer truly broke her heart.
She felt extremely wronged.
Later he left, and it was clear that Li Yunfei and Dukao also realized that he was no longer suitable to stay in that conference room.
The meeting didn't last long, and she didn't know where Wang Ji went afterward, but she returned to her room with red eyes.
Later that afternoon, her father, Dukao, came to see her.
In Ducão's office, it was an open and honest conversation.
"You still like him?" Dukao asked bluntly.
"Who?" She leaned against the sofa, or rather, nestled in it.
She always had a proper posture, but she always had a strange sense of antagonism towards Duka.
"Who else could it be?" Dukao frowned, a cigarette between his fingers. He liked to smoke when he was troubled, and Du Qiangwei didn't know why aliens liked to smoke.
“Wang Ji,” he said bluntly.
"How do you know I like him?" She remained calm and composed, her expression even more indifferent than usual. "Besides, I advise you not to mention his name. I've tested it; he has something called 'All Wheat,' which allows him to hear everything said within a radius of about four kilometers."
Mention his name, and he'll most likely check who's talking about him behind his back.
I asked him once, but he denied it.
Later, I muttered curses at him behind my back for five minutes. When he saw me again, he said something completely out of the blue: "Stop messing around."
So it's mostly accurate; you have to believe in him, even if it's superstitious.
"..."
Dukao seemed to be silent for a long time, and after what seemed like an eternity, he started the conversation again: "So you still like him?"
"How did you know I like him?" Du Qiangwei asked again.
“No one knows a daughter better than her father,” Du Kao said, quoting a famous Earth saying. He then became somewhat embarrassed under Du Qiangwei’s indifferent gaze, paused, and said, “Although I’m not as good as those with super hearing, I still know a bit about what’s going on with you guys.”
"Furthermore, you've never smiled at any boy..."
Or rather, Du Qiangwei rarely showed a kind face to anyone.
However, he clearly remembered that Du Qiangwei had been very friendly and even proactive towards Wang Ji ever since their first meeting, and even during their initial interactions on the Juxia.
He was right there beside me, and he knew everything...
"Then why are you targeting him? Everyone on Earth knows that a son-in-law is a distinguished guest. You don't have to grovel and fawn over him to get points for me, but at least be fair and impartial, right?" Du Qiangwei scoffed and replied disdainfully.
Given her personality, it's impossible for her to cry and wail when heartbroken, nor is she the type to whine and whine.
"When...when did I target him?" Du Kao was helpless against Du Qiangwei's rudeness.
"hehe……"
Du Qiangwei responded to her father's denial with a sneer: "There are some things I don't know why you are doing, and I don't doubt you... I won't say anything else, but he has been wearing that standard armor for so long. Just based on his first two battles and his abilities, do you think he has the nerve to say that?"
Aunt Lianfeng initially agreed to provide the weapon, but then there was no further news.
If you hadn't fought Sun Wukong, I really doubt you could have taken one of his eighty-eight clone armors and given it to him.
Whether your own daughter can catch up with him or not is my own business, and I don't want to mix public and private matters, but how can you even have the nerve to say that?"
Finally, he scoffed and said no more.
As her daughter, she naturally wouldn't doubt her father's character, but some things had been weighing on her mind for a long time...
In the entire Super God Academy, apart from one idiot and one cute creature, there isn't a single silly person.
Du Qiangwei's words silenced Du Kao; he neither admitted nor refuted them.
After a long silence, he continued, "I thought your feelings for him would fade after he got a girlfriend. And with what happened with Lena, I thought you'd given up on that little bit of affection even more."
But today…
He didn't want to continue. To be honest, he was naturally heartbroken for his own daughter. Rose had suffered so much injustice in that conference room... but he couldn't bring himself to blame Wang Ji.
"Yes, my feelings have faded, though I wouldn't say they've completely disappeared." Du Qiangwei's words surprised Du Kao.
"I'm neither that alien Lena, nor that Qilin who's been favored and feels a bit anxious. Although I'm very unwilling... I have no intention of becoming someone else's harem member."
Du Qiangwei's words were so insightful that they surprised Du Kao.
“If I could be his only partner, it would probably be the happiest thing in the world. Even now, I still think Qilin is really lucky.” She seemed to no longer want to hide anything: “Even when the country was in crisis, he was so perfect, and I was still moved at the time.”
But later, we were destined to be apart, and even today I keep thinking about where I went wrong.
But if I can't have it, I can't have it. It's not like I'm unwanted.
"Then you and Xiao Lun..." Dukao hesitated, then continued, "Xiao Lun is still devoted to you. I hope you can be with Xiao Lun..."
You know, Dad doesn't want you to end up like Qilin and Lena.
Ultimately, he still wanted to make his demands as a father.
“Xiao Lun…” Du Qiangwei’s eyes were somewhat complicated when she said this name.
Actually, there are some things she understands a little bit, namely that super soldiers should find super soldiers as partners, without a doubt.
In contrast to Wang Ji's unyielding attitude, Ge Xiaolun's admiration and pursuit of her had always been present, although his desire only became more apparent after Wang Ji and Qi Lin held hands.
No one's heart is made of iron, except for that stubborn bastard; she wasn't without wavering.
only……
“After that person got together with Qilin, I also put aside my feelings. Although I was still unwilling... I just stopped thinking about it.” Du Qiangwei said slowly, “It’s just that Xiaolun... I couldn’t do anything about it for the time being. It’s probably because of the saying: ‘Once you’ve seen the ocean, you can’t be satisfied with a river.’”
