Chapter 1354 The Miss Eloped for Love (2)
Rong Xi was really attentive to Mi Shichu. Not only did he take the initiative to carry her bag, he also used his hands to shield her head when getting in the car, and took the initiative to move a chair for her when they went to the restaurant... He really looked like a gentleman, and was so good at pretending, no wonder he could have charmed the original owner so much.
Mi Shichu patiently ate a meal with him, during which he just listened to him bragging. Perhaps he wanted to show off himself, but a lot of what he talked about was actually wrong. However, he took advantage of the fact that the original owner didn't understand these things and deliberately made it profound and difficult to understand.
He used this trick very effectively against the original owner, but now that Mi Shichu had a new soul, he naturally heard the various loopholes and mistakes in his words.
However, Mi Shichu did not expose him, but just hummed from time to time to deal with him. After all, it would take effort to expose him, and she did not want to waste any time and energy on him.
After finally showing off his "wide knowledge", Rong Xi sighed and asked Mi Shichu: "Shichu, have you ever thought about leaving here and living in a place where no one knows us, so that no one can oppose us..."
"Leave here? No, I grew up here since I was a child and have long been accustomed to the climate, environment and food here. If I were asked to start a new life in another unfamiliar place, I might not be able to adapt." Mi Shichu knew that he was going to instigate the original owner to elope with him, so he refused directly.
Rong Xi choked, obviously not expecting her to refuse right away. He looked at Mi Shichu hesitantly, but Mi Shichu pretended not to see his expression and didn't ask him at all.
Finally, he couldn't help himself and said, "At the beginning, we have been together for such a long time, but your father still hasn't accepted me. I was a little sad, so I thought that if we went to other places, maybe we wouldn't have to face your father's opposition, and you wouldn't have to be caught between me and your father. After a few years, maybe your father will accept me, and then we can come back and honor your father together..."
Mi Shichu sneered in his heart. This bastard was good at speaking and spoke so nicely, but in fact, he just wanted to abduct her and elope. He wanted to make the matter a fait accompli and use the child to force Mi's father to compromise?
What a clever calculation! He tricked the original owner into elopement with him, but in fact he did not suffer any loss. After all, he had nothing in this city except an ordinary job. Going to another place was almost the same as staying here. He just needed to find a new job.
And what about the original owner? She lost a lot! First of all, if she left everything here, she would lose her father's love and financial support; secondly, her reputation was ruined. She was originally a white, rich and beautiful woman in the city, and one of the best candidates for marriage for people of the same class. Now that she eloped with a man, she would no longer be considered; finally, Rong Xi eloped with the purpose of having a fait accompli with her. If he succeeded, she would have to go through a difficult ten-month pregnancy and a hard life of raising children in the future. Even if he didn't succeed, she would have to fall from being a beloved eldest daughter to a free nanny who washes clothes, cooks and cleans for men...
From this perspective, elopement would do her no good at all, but for Rongxi, it would be harmless at all, so Rongxi would naturally rack his brains to encourage her to elope with him.
Oh, cunning man!
"Rong Xi, my father doesn't accept you, so you should work hard to make achievements so that my father will accept you. How can you just leave and let me elope with you? This is an extremely irresponsible behavior. I thought you could make achievements in an upright manner to make my father recognize you, but I didn't expect that you could only come up with such a weird idea to force my father to compromise..." Mi Shichu said, looking at Rong Xi with disappointment and shaking his head, as if saying "I misjudged you".
Rong Xi's expression suddenly froze, and his face almost twisted. His shameful thoughts were exposed so openly by Mi Shichu, which made him feel ashamed and awkward. He wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.
But he still had his reason. He knew that it would be best to stabilize Mi Shichu and dispel her perception. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be wasted. So he quickly recovered, showing a sad expression, and said: "Shichu, how could you think of me like this? I didn't mean to force your father to compromise by eloping with you. You really misunderstood me. I, I'm just often suspected by your father that I have ulterior motives. I'm a little tired, and suddenly I had the idea of escaping. I wanted to run away with you to a place where I don't have to face your father... I'm sorry, I know I was weak, but my love is firm and unshakable. You believe me..."
Mi Shichu just watched his performance quietly. It must be said that Rong Xi's acting skills were very good, as he was able to charm the original owner so much that there was no doubt about it. However, his performance seemed very ridiculous in Mi Shichu's eyes.
Rong Xi talked for a long time, as if he was performing a monologue. Mi Shichu didn't respond at all. He couldn't speak anymore. The scene seemed very strange for a moment.
"Shichu, why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with what I said?" For a moment, Rong Xi thought that his disguise had been seen through by Mi Shichu, and asked guiltily.
Mi Shichu smiled and shook her head. Now was not a good time to break up. If there was no good reason, Rong Xi would keep pestering her even if she mentioned it, so she did not alarm him.
"You put it very well, please continue." Mi Shichu said to him.
Rong Xi coughed lightly and felt that what he had just done was enough. This could not be rushed. He had to slowly brainwash Mi Shichu to make her more devoted to him.
So he did not continue to encourage elopement, but instead introduced the dishes on the table to Mi Shichu, quoting from classics from time to time.
When they were about to pay the bill after dinner, Rongxi said he wanted to go to the bathroom.
Mi Shichu found it very funny, because when the original owner had dinner with him before, Rong Xi always did this. He would always go to the bathroom before paying the bill after eating. Because of this, the original owner, this naive person, would pay the bill himself.
When Rongxi came out and pretended to pay the bill, the original owner said she had already paid. Rongxi would then say with a look of disapproval, "How can you let a girl pay the bill? Don't do that next time!"
However, the next time, he still ran away, the bill was still paid by the original owner, and he still complained disapprovingly...
This trick is very effective for escaping payment.
However, this time, Mi Shichu had a different soul. She was not the naive and innocent girl like the original owner who didn't care about money at all. Therefore, she would not pay the bill and kept waiting until Rong Xi came out of the bathroom.
After a while, Rong Xi finally came back and said, "Let's go. I'll go pay the bill."
He said this without moving his feet, waiting for Mi Shichu to say "I'm married". However, this time, Mi Shichu said, "Then go ahead."
"W-what?" Rong Xi felt like he might have heard it wrong.
"Go and pay the bill." Mi Shichu said with a smile.
