Xin Gan thought he had dug a hole for her to jump into.
She said, "I don't think it's good to do so."
What are you afraid of? Cheng Jiu deliberately said, "Afraid that I'll blame you then?"
Xin Gan's face dried up and he said, "That's hard to say. If it's been too long..."
"Afraid that the pretend play will turn out to be real?" Cheng Jiu suddenly asked coldly.
Xin Gan frowned slightly: "..."
"Still afraid of developing feelings over time?" "
Aren't these two meanings the same?
Cheng Jiu smiled, his voice heavy and emotionless. "Xin Gan, you have no confidence in yourself."
Xin Gan's expression was restrained. The wind blew into her eyes, and she felt a bit itchy. She blinked quickly but said nothing.
Cheng Jiu reached out to straighten her hat, put it on and said, "Our two families know each other well. They are deliberately trying to bring us together to maintain our relationship. If we propose to dissolve the marriage at this moment, it will be a big blow to both families. How can we expect our two families to have any contact in the future?"
"..." Xin Gan bit her lip, her heart in turmoil.
Cheng Jiu: "I'm not a bad person either. You won't lose out with me. Besides, I won't be able to return to Yongcheng for a while. I have no excuse and no time. It won't be easy to break off the marriage. Judging from the current situation, Xin Gan, being with me won't let you lose out."
His intention is also very clear. He just wants to maintain the status quo and has no intention of breaking off the marriage.
If that's the case, then why did you agree to her?
She asked directly, "Then why did you agree? When I asked you, you agreed to me."
It's my problem. I shouldn't have agreed so readily.
"..." I'm speechless.
Cheng Jiu continued, "Xin Gan, don't worry. It's just for you to be wronged for a while. If you still want to break off the marriage later, okay, I'll promise you, but not now."
Xin Gan pursed her lips. The wind blew again, causing her hat to fall off. One end of the rope was hanging around her neck. She quickly put it back on. Cheng Jiu bit the cigarette butt and reached out to tie the rope for her hat, tying it neatly into a knot.
Xin Gan had no chance to refuse. He took the dominant position.
She is no match for him at all.
She couldn't defeat him.
"All right, get in the car first. I'll call Xiao Shi back."
Cheng Jiu walked aside to make a phone call and, at the same time, looked for a trash can to throw away cigarette butts.
Xin Gan got into the car and looked out of the window at Cheng Jiu walking under the scorching sun. His back was broad, his long legs were moving steadily, and his appearance was extremely outstanding. Of course, he was also very attractive to the opposite sex.
She didn't know what to do either. It had deviated too much from her expectations. Now that he had overturned what he had promised her before, she had no way out at all.
Very passive.
Xiao Shi and Asongli came back soon. Asongli still held a string of sugar-coated haws in his hand. He was reluctant to eat them and handed them to Xin Gan as soon as he got back, saying, "Sister, here you are."
Xin Gan gently stroked Asongli's hair and said, "No need. You eat. I'm not hungry."
Asonli just wanted to give it to Xin Gan to eat. Xiao Shi couldn't help but praise Asonli for being so sensible and knowing how to give it to his elder sister.
The car restarted and continued on its way.
Because we were two hours late at noon, we didn't arrive at our relatives' home in Asongli until nearly eleven o 'clock at night.
They all communicated in the local dialect, but Xin Gan couldn't understand. Fortunately, they didn't notice him and kept talking to Cheng Jiu and the others. Xin Gan took a look at the environment of A Songli's relatives' home. It was an ordinary family not very wealthy. To thank them for sending A Songli back, they specially brought out the best food at home to treat him.
