"Oh! Sister Lu, what are you talking about? Xia Tian and I are just partners. There has always been nothing between us. How could I be in love with you?"
Qiu Mengyun said coquettishly and embarrassedly.
Li Lu laughed and said, "Haha, Mengyun, don't be so stubborn."
"Think about the symptoms you just described. They are clearly the symptoms of lovesickness!"
"At this point, do you still want to continue denying the fact that you've been missing and caring about Xia Tian since he left?"
Qiu Mengyun said depressedly: "But, but we are not a real couple!"
"You know the situation between him and me. We are just partners. How could I..."
Li Lu couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted her, "What's the big deal? If you like him, then you like him. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship you have."
Qiu Mengyun: "But we signed an agreement!"
"It's clearly written in the agreement. I'm going back with him to visit his sick grandfather and help him deal with the pressure from his family to get married."
"In return, he signed a contract with my brother's company and helped me deal with the pressure from my family to get married."
"But the relationship between us is limited to cooperation, and we cannot covet each other."
Li Lu laughed and said, "Why are you so stubborn? That agreement is just a piece of paper. The reason those terms were stipulated before was because neither of you had a good impression of each other."
"I signed that agreement to protect your innocence and rights. But now the situation has changed. You have fallen in love with Xia Tian."
"Since this agreement is no longer of any use to you, and on the contrary restricts your words and actions, hindering the development of your relationship, it's better to just pretend it doesn't exist and ignore it."
Qiu Mengyun said in embarrassment, "If that's the case, wouldn't I be breaking the contract? If Xia Tian knew, would he think I'm someone who doesn't keep my word?"
Li Lu asked with interest, "Oh? So you're someone who values commitment and credibility?"
"In that case, let me ask you. Do you want to abide by the agreement and be a man of your word? Or do you want to be with Xia Tian and be a happy couple?"
Hearing Li Lu's question, Qiu Mengyun lowered her head unconsciously.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally answered in a whisper, "Of course it's the latter. Compared to being a man of his word, I still hope to be able to spend more time with Xia Tian."
Li Lu smiled and said, "That's it. If abiding by the agreement won't get you the results you want, then why bother abiding by it?"
Qiu Mengyun said depressedly: "But, but, it's useless if I'm the only one with this idea!"
"Even though we've been together for a while, I always feel like Xia Tian doesn't have that kind of interest in me."
Li Lu encouraged him, "Why bother with him? If he's not interested in you, that's his business. Just make sure you're interested in him, and that's enough."
"As long as you make your mind clear, the rest will be easy."
"Just because he's not interested in you now doesn't mean he won't be interested in you in the future!"
Qiu Mengyun asked in confusion: "Ah? Sister Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Li Lu tapped him on the head gently: "Stupid! He's not interested in you, so let's find a way to make him interested in you."
"You are so beautiful and outstanding, are you afraid that you can't win him over?"
"As the saying goes, a man chasing a woman is like a mountain, but a woman chasing a man is like a layer of gauze!"
"I believe that with your charm as the goddess Mengyun, you can conquer Xia Tian with just a little effort."
Qiu Mengyun was surprised: "Ah? You mean, let me take the initiative to pursue Xia Tian?"
Li Lu nodded. "Yes! As a woman of the new era, you have to get what you like yourself. Whether it's your career or a man, it's the same."
Qiu Mengyun said in confusion: "But, but. I'm not sure whether I like the feeling I have for Xia Tian."
"Now I just like being with him, eating his cooking, and having him go shopping and play with me."
Li Lu smiled and said, "According to what you said, it should be pretty much the same."
"Who cares if he is right or not? It's always right to chase Xia Tian first."
"At worst, after you two have been together for a while, if you realize that you don't like the feeling you have for Xia Tian, you can break up and return to a partnership."
Qiu Mengyun: "Uh! Isn't this too bad?"
Li Lu laughed and said, "That's called daring to love and hate, how can it be called scum?"
"Besides, do you like being scumbaged by others, or do you like scumbaging others?"
Qiu Mengyun said without hesitation: "Of course it's the latter. After all, the person who is scumbag is definitely the one who is hurt the most!"
Li Lu: "That's it, then what's there to hesitate about?"
Qiu Mengyun pouted and said, "But I think our relationship is pretty good now!"
"After he comes back from his hometown, we can continue to spend time together often."
"And when we return to variety shows, we will also live together as a couple."
"In this case, it seems that I don't need to do anything and I have everything I want. Why should I bother chasing him?"
"It would be fine if I succeed in catching him, but if he doesn't agree, it would be too embarrassing!"
Li Lu said earnestly, "You're confused. How can they be the same?"
"You two look like a couple now, but there's a huge difference between you."
