Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Welfare
Fu Shiyan heard the words and curiously asked, “So what kind of person does Lili like?”
Jiangli suddenly fell silent.
Fu Shiyan’s expression darkened, and the speed of the car slowed down. Yet his tone rose, as if joking, “Is this question really hard to answer?”
Jiangli stared blankly at him.
Fu Shiyan, somewhat aggrieved, said, “Generally speaking, when a boyfriend asks this question, shouldn’t the girlfriend answer, ‘you are the person I like’?”
Jiangli: “…”
Fu Shiyan sighed deeply, “It seems this question is indeed difficult for Lili to answer.”
Jiangli came to her senses, somewhat amused.
Turns out it’s a setup for her to answer, with the answer already put right in front of her.
Jiangli smiled, but her expression became a bit more serious, “Honestly, Mr. Fu, I don’t dislike you, but I’m not someone suitable for dating.”
Fu Shiyan paused, “Why do you say that?”
Jiangli frowned slightly, “Well, dating should be about something lasting, but I just can’t provide that to anyone. Do you understand what I mean?”
Fu Shiyan braked suddenly, and the car pulled over to the side and stopped.
“So—” He looked into Jiangli’s eyes, “From the beginning, Lili didn’t plan to be with me long-term?”
Jiangli looked a bit troubled, “Not quite… It’s just that I myself can’t be long-term…”
She was a bit unsure how to explain this to Fu Shiyan.
Fu Shiyan seriously said, “So from the start, you planned for a short-lived romance with me?”
Jiangli: “…”
That’s not exactly it…
When she agreed to be so-called responsible and be boyfriend and girlfriend, the situation was very complicated…
Jiangli was somewhat at a loss on how to answer.
As she fell silent, Fu Shiyan also became quiet, with a more solemn expression, as if he was contemplating something.
Jiangli suddenly felt that just staying silent and letting Fu Shiyan figure it out and then initiate ending this strange relationship was quite good.
So Jiangli didn’t speak again.
The air in the cabin seemed to freeze.
For the first time, Jiangli felt that every minute and second was so long.
After what seemed like ages, Fu Shiyan suddenly spoke, “We are both adults. Having a consensual short-lived romance is quite nice too.”
Jiangli: “???”
She looked at Fu Shiyan with a face full of question marks.
But Fu Shiyan just curved his lips into a smile, “It doesn’t matter if Lili doesn’t like me, as long as you don’t dislike me. Since I’m the one who likes you, even if Lili is only using me, I would still be happy to oblige.”
Jiangli: “…”
Is this how things should progress?
Was she too outdated, not understanding the current ways of feelings?
“However, while we are still in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, I think I should get myself a little benefit.”
As Jiangli was at a loss, she heard Fu Shiyan speak again.
She looked at Fu Shiyan a bit confused, “What benefit?”
Fu Shiyan didn’t say anything, and suddenly there was a click sound in the cabin.
Before Jiangli could react to where the sound came from, Fu Shiyan suddenly leaned over.
In the next second, Jiangli felt a weight on her lips, a soft tender touch enveloping her instantly.
Jiangli suddenly froze.
Her mind suddenly recalled that kiss in Lingbi Mountain.
At the time, Fu Shiyan came down hard, completely different from the gentle kiss now.
Jiangli didn’t even know why she could compare the differences in the kisses, feeling as if her nape was being held by someone.
Next, someone was invading the fortress.
Before she realized it, she had already surrendered without a fight.
Fu Shiyan… truly extracted every possible benefit thoroughly.
