Chapter 112: A High-IQ Robot!
Wealth, what I desire.
Beauty, I also desire it.
But if he had to weigh these two against his own life safety, Qin Luo's heart would naturally lean towards the latter.
Safety first!
When Qin Luo refused, Wen Ren Mu Yue didn't get angry. She stretched out her slender and delicate white jade hand without a single blemish, picked up the lemon water in front of her, took a small sip, lifted her head and said: "I've already stated my conditions, now it's your turn to state yours. If you dare to want something, I'll dare to give it."
Her every pose is close to perfection, and her every move is a delight to behold.
To be honest, if it weren't for this woman being too clever, too wealthy, too powerful and too arrogant, she would be a very charming woman.
But can there be "ifs" in love?
Qin Luo smiled and looked at her, saying: "What if I said it was you?"
"As long as I can fall in love with you, it's just human nature." Wen Ren Mu Yue said calmly.
Qin Luo was stunned, he didn't expect this woman to come up with such a brilliant answer.
Moreover, he even had the nerve to bring up that kind of thing as a condition right to his face ---- without being embarrassed.
"I don't have the confidence to make you fall in love with me." Qin Luo said with a bitter smile.
"Why don't you give it a try? From what I know, you're not someone who lacks confidence."
There's another thing she didn't say. This man is sometimes so arrogant that it's unbearable.
"Try it? You think this is a shopping mall? Can you even buy trial sizes? I have too many things to do, no time for this kind of experimentation." Qin Luo said.
"So, you can set your own conditions. The things you want to do can also be included in these conditions." Wen Ren Mu Yue stood up from the chair and sat down on the sofa next to Qin Luo.
Plump and slender, fragrance wafts over.
Qin Luo sniffed his nose hard and had to admit that he liked this smell.
Qin Luo gazed at Wen Ren Muyue's lovely face, which was so close that he could almost touch it. The strong visual impact of appreciating her beauty at such a close distance made him dizzy.
She doesn't cry, laugh or frown, yet she can still evoke a multitude of emotions.
It's as if she was meant to be this way. She is just so beautiful like this.
Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, saying: "You still don't understand."
"What do you want to say? Last time, you pretended not to know me, and I cooperated with a good understanding. This time, since you are willing to reveal my identity, then prove that you also hope everyone will have an open and honest talk." Wen Ren Mu Yue took an apple from the fruit plate and played with it lightly in her hand.
"Do you like eating apples?" Qin Luo asked as he watched her movements.
"It's okay." Wen Ren Mu Yue nodded. Apples are her favorite fruit, crisp in texture and rich in vitamin C. For women, it is still an essential natural whitening product.
Qin Luo took the fruit from her hand and picked up the fruit knife at the edge of the plate, skillfully peeling it.
"You don't understand love," Qin Luo said. "If I loved you, no matter if it's a mountain of knives, a sea of fire, or the gates of hell, I would hold your hand and go through it with you. If we're in love, nothing else matters. What's there to discuss about transactions?"
"But now I don't love you. Or rather, I haven't fallen in love with you yet. In that case, I start to consider some practical things. I will consider my personal safety. I will think the opponent is too strong and feel this thing is very boring - with so many external conditions constraining me, then I naturally choose to give up. Give up such a deal."
Qin Luo was a master at peeling apples, and as the bright blade in his hand moved lightly, his long and powerful fingers rotated gently, a strip of peel like connected flower petals appeared in his palm.
This rookie who has never experienced love is lecturing another even more rookie bird about love.
"Why don't you consider your career? You should be clear that if I'm willing to help you, you'll achieve what you're pursuing much earlier." said Wen Ren Mu Yue temptingly.
"If someone is willing to work with me, I naturally welcome it very much. However, if love is used as a transaction, I think this is a double insult to my love and Chinese medicine career. I'm not in a hurry, and I also have enough time. Such a meaningful thing, if completed under my efforts, my life will be full of meaning." Qin Luo said with a smile.
Wen Ren Mu Yue surprisingly nodded in agreement, she had always been unwilling to get involved in Qin Luo's career, precisely because she didn't want to take away the career he was striving for.
Perhaps this is a bit selfish, perhaps it will take some years later to push traditional Chinese medicine to the world ---- but please forgive a woman's selfishness.
"So, as a woman, I don't have any attraction to you at all?" Wen Ren Mu Yue asked with a serious face.
No dodging eyes, no shy expressions, just a little curiosity.
She is such a proud woman, saying whatever comes to mind without needing to hide or deny anything.
Just like asking "Do you think this dress looks good on me?" without any extra emotional connotations.
Maybe there is a little bit, but it's really too small. Negligible.
Qin Luo looked at her seriously, shook his head and said: "To be honest, I'd like to confess to you, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
"In that case, your choice is quite unexpected." Yun Ren Mu Yue smiled lightly.
"There are also many girls around me, they may not be as beautiful as you. However, they are all living and breathing right next to me. They have flesh and blood, their own personalities and temperaments."
"I can get in touch with them. Or rather, I can get along with them very naturally. You are different. Your biggest drawback is that you are too excellent. Yes, it's just that you're too excellent."
"Your flawless appearance, your inexhaustible wealth, and your intelligence - to be honest, I'm a little intimidated by you. Every time we meet, I feel like I'm being scrutinized. In front of you, I have no secrets."
Qin Luo handed the peeled apple to Wen Ren Muyue, then used a paper towel to wipe off the juice on the blade and smiled: "I was thinking, even if I didn't go through with the divorce. We got married under the arrangement of those old men. I wouldn't feel happy either. Because, even if I held you in my arms, it would be like holding a high-intelligence humanoid computer. Do you understand this feeling?"
"This is also the reason why you saw my photo in the living room and still insisted on breaking off the engagement?" Wen Ren Mu Yue smiled lightly.
Qin Luo was shocked and said: "You even guessed this?"
"Otherwise, how would you know my identity? The photo is clearly hanging in the living room, and you're sitting there, how could you not have seen it?"
Qin Luo sighed and said: "This is why I don't dare to like you. You're too scary."
"I don't want to either." Wen Ren Mu Yue sighed softly. "But I have no other choice."
When she was very young, she had enough of the cold eyes and sharp words from her uncles. At that time, she decided that she must become smart enough and strong enough so that no one could bully her.
His father indulged in art, his brother was at odds with the world. She had no way to hope for others' protection, and could only make herself stronger and stronger again.
When you're on top of the world, everyone holds their breath for you.
But when one day you accidentally make a mistake, the open and secret attacks come pouring in, pressing down on you until you can't breathe.
She also wants to take a break. A rest from everything.
But she couldn't.
In their kind of family, you can only run. Day and night, without a break.
As long as she kept running forward, she wouldn't be pulled down from that high place and smashed to pieces.
"So, we can't make this deal." Qin Luo said with a smile. "Good luck."
When Qin Luola opened the door, Ma Yue was waiting at the door as usual. In this way, no matter what the host ordered, she could rush over in the first time.
Qin Luo smiled at her and Ma Yue nodded expressionlessly before pulling open the door of the private room and walking in.
"Miss, did he agree?" Ma Yue asked aloud. The miss knew about this plan of hers. As the number one strategist by Wen Ren Mu Yue's side, whether it was official or private business, she would collect enough information for the miss to refer to while also giving her own judgment.
"He refused." Wen Ren Mu Yue carefully examined the apple in his hand, as if admiring a work of art.
"She actually refused?" Ma Yue was shocked. Was this man really out of his mind?
Even if Miss is not talented, her appearance and beauty are enough to move any man in the world.
Moreover, Miss has so many additional conditions on her body. She has always been thinking about this question, who else in the world can match Miss?
After some thought, perhaps only Qin Zongheng can barely take on this task.
However, Miss happened to be uninterested in him. Moreover, in order to reject him, she had to find another man to pretend to be her fiancé - that's just how strange things are in this world.
"Why wouldn't he refuse?" Wen Ren Mu Yue retorted. "If they can go as far as to call off the engagement, what's one more refusal?"
"Didn't Miss tell him about the transaction? Our terms are tempting enough." Ma Yue said.
"What is he lacking? Money? He can earn it all by himself. Women? Lin Xuanxi? Wang Jiujui? Li Qingcheng? And that Taiwanese model..."
At this point, Wen Ren Mu Yue suddenly felt a bit down. "Compared to them, I really lack charm. A high IQ robot, Ma Yuet, what do you think of that?"
Ma Yue was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood that this was Qin Luo's description of the young lady.
Her face turned cold and she turned around to go find Qin Luo to settle the score.
"Whatever." Ma Yue said. "I think his metaphor is quite vivid," Wen Ren Mu Yue suddenly spoke up and said.
"Miss, it's because she hasn't been in contact with you." Ma Yue comforted her.
"Just because I've been in contact with you, will this impression change? I'm still a robot, not crying or laughing, won't get angry or throw tantrums --- even, can't feel the temperature."
Ma Yue saw Miss's bad mood and quickly said: "Miss, how are we going to deal with Qin Zongheng?"
"There's always a way." Wen Ren Mu Yue regained her calm and collected demeanor.
After some thought, she still couldn't help but raise the crystal clear apple flesh in her hand and say to Ma Yue: "He gave it to me. The technique of peeling apples is not bad, right?"
Gently took a bite, a sweet and sour juice poured into the heart.
Ma Yuer stood there with her eyes wide and mouth agape. When would a lady ever be willing to eat an apple peeled by a man?
