Chapter 153 I even like your selfishness
"Getting my approval for your engagement won't be that easy."
The outcome of the "two-country talks" ultimately concluded with Xia Yu's statement.
He seemed quite dissatisfied with Xia Zhen and Lu Jin being together, but in reality, his attitude had softened somewhat; at least he was willing to give Lu Jin time to prove himself.
But after glancing at Lu Qi, Xia Yu added, "If you two get together in the future... of course, the possibility is very small. I mean, in case you get together, I will never agree to Zhenzhen living with her parents-in-law."
Without hesitation, Lu Jin replied, "Okay."
Lu Qi: "?"
Is he really that disliked? Actually, he thinks he's charming and quite likable.
After the Lu family left, Xia Zhen was given a lecture by Xia Yu. She was a girl, unlike boys, and she must not suffer losses without understanding why.
Although Xia Yu usually lacks emotional intelligence, he did make concessions for Xia Zhen this time. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have broken them up the moment he learned that Xia Zhen and Lu Jin were together.
Xia Zhen was genuinely moved, and she decided to temporarily unblock Xia Yu from her list of blocked contacts on WeChat Moments.
Xia Zhen and Lu Jin can finally go on dates openly!
On this day off, Lu Jin didn't have to go to work. Unlike before when he had to wait for Xia Zhen at the bus stop, this time he could walk to Wen Yu's doorstep and wait for Xia Zhen to come out.
However, Xia Zhen didn't excitedly rush towards him when she saw him this time. Since the last meeting, she hadn't even taken the initiative to video call him. Even when Lu Jin sent her a video call invitation, she answered, but her enthusiasm wasn't high.
When responding to him, she always gave a lukewarm response.
Lu Jin's heart was also in turmoil.
“Zhenzhen”.
Lu Jin reached out to take her hand, and she didn't pull away, only giving a soft "hmm".
Lu Jin pursed his lips slightly, a hint of fear and unease showing in his clear eyes. He whispered, "I'm sorry."
Xia Zhen asked, "What have you done to wrong me?"
"I shouldn't have kept it from you and deliberately led you to make that promise to me."
Xia Zhen: "Oh."
Lu Jin was used to being treated coldly, but ever since Xia Zhen pulled him into a lively and bustling world, he found that he couldn't stand her slightest bit of indifference.
“Zhenzhen…” Lu Jin gripped her hand tightly. His throat was dry, and he felt as if he had fallen into a cold, lifeless world. “I shouldn’t have done that. Please forgive me, okay?”
Xia Zhen asked calmly, "What do you want me to forgive you for?"
“I shouldn’t have deliberately led you to say… that you won’t be able to have children.”
Lu Jin has always been well aware that he is not a good person. He is scheming and has his own tricks. He is selfish and despicable, and he cannot tolerate anyone interfering in his and Xia Zhen's lives.
Xia Yu was right to think that Xia Zhen's relationship with Lu Jin was dangerous, because if he wasn't careful, he would drag Xia Zhen down into the abyss.
Xia Zhen asked, "Then why did you do that?"
I want to have you all to myself.
Xia Zhen blinked and asked innocently, "What do you mean by 'possessing me exclusively'?"
"I don't want to..." Lu Jin paused for a moment. It was a difficult thing for him to personally expose his dark side, but the current situation forced him to be honest.
He looked at the girl's face and said softly, "I don't want your attention to be distracted by anyone, I don't want your love to be taken away by anyone, I want all your time to belong to me, and everything you have to belong to me."
Even if Xia Zhen used to love excitement, she would definitely feel resentful towards someone who wanted to control her in everything.
Lu Jin had secretly searched online more than once about how women viewed men with a strong desire for control and possessiveness. He even posted a thread asking people online, from a girl's perspective, what to do if you have a boyfriend like him.
Why keep a boyfriend like this around?
Without exception, all the answers advised breaking up rather than staying together.
At that time, Lu Jin clearly realized how unpopular his true self was.
Even if he pretended to be perfect in front of Xia Zhen, his shady thoughts did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, they only grew stronger.
He had prepared for the worst when he came to see Xia Zhen this time. If she wanted to break up with him, he would do everything he could to pursue her again.
Xia Zhen suddenly sighed.
Lu Jin suddenly tensed up.
She looked up at him. "So, what do you think is the basis for your possessiveness towards me?"
"My love for you."
Xia Zhen shook her head. "That's based on your selfishness."
Yes, he is a selfish person.
Lu Jin's face was as pale as paper. He felt as if his heart was being roasted on a fire. All the beautiful future he could see with her had vanished in an instant.
"But so what if you're selfish?"
Lu Jin was slightly taken aback.
Xia Zhen suddenly jumped up and hugged him. He subconsciously reached out and supported her body, so that she could hang on him like a koala.
"I like you, I even like your selfishness!" Xia Zhen reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, then lifted her head and kissed him deeply. She then said with a smile, "Especially this kind of selfishness towards me, I like it too!"
Lu Jin was stunned by her kiss. He looked at the girl so close to him with a slightly blank expression. "Zhenzhen, won't you hate me?"
"No, not at all." Xia Zhen smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling. She leaned close to his face and whispered, "Lu Jin, everything about you fascinates me."
Lu Jin felt as if he had been fed the sweetest honey in the world. His eyes sparkled, and the overwhelming sense of satisfaction surging from the depths of his body was almost unbearable. His breath was hot. "Zhenzhen..."
He lowered his head to kiss her, but she avoided it, and his kiss only landed on her cheek.
Xia Zhen glared at him, "Do you know why I'm angry?"
Lu Jin's heart was in turmoil again. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
What makes me angry is that you don't believe me.
Lu Jin: "..."
Xia Zhen looked directly into the boy's panicked eyes, her beautiful face filled with anger. "To put it bluntly, you just don't think you're that important to me, so you secretly looked into IVF without telling me. Do you think that if I knew about it, I would think I could have a healthy child and then I would have a baby?"
Lu Jin pursed his thin lips, speechless.
