Chapter 23 You Will Fall in Love with Me

  Chen Chen regretted what she had just said, especially when she saw Wu Tian's delighted expression. She realized that she had lost her composure and fallen into the other party's trap, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of her.

  She really wanted to counterattack with the excuse of 'soldiers are not tired of cheating', but the fact that she couldn't afford to lose made her unable to back down. Backing down means not betting, and not betting means not daring to bet, which would mean that she had fallen in love with Wu Tian and acknowledged that Jingyun was better than her. Not to mention who is more outstanding between herself and Jingyun, just the fact that 'love' alone, she absolutely will not admit. At least, at least she wants to make the other side admit to loving her before she admits to falling in love with him.

  This is also a manifestation of women's self-esteem.

  Things seem to have become complicated. Chen Chen sighed in her heart, she never thought that Wu Tian would actually like Jingyun. However, she also felt that things were not as complicated as imagined.

  "Don't be too happy too early." Chen Chen's face suddenly showed a smile, from anger to calmness, this psychological transformation was still very fast. She said to Wu Tian, who was somewhat complacent, "Do you think pursuing Jingyun is easy? Since I dare to bet with you, I must have the confidence to win, just like the bet about your work. Want to know the reason?"

  "Listen carefully." Wu Tian said after hearing, Chen Chen's words indeed made him regain some calmness. Because he knew that the reason the other party raised was the difficulty he would face next. As a man, he could only consider the difficulties he might encounter from a man's perspective. So he also hoped that Chen Chen could say out the problems she saw from a woman's perspective.

  He likes difficulties. With difficulties, there are challenges. With challenges, things become interesting. After success, there will be a sense of pride and accomplishment that has never been felt before.

  Things that are easily obtained are also easily discarded.

  Chen Chen's words can make his future actions more targeted.

  "Firstly, we are registered spouses. Jingyun is a good friend of mine and she knows about the relationship between you and me. So, she will absolutely not accept you." Chenchen said to Wu Tian.

  "That makes sense." Wu Tian said after hearing, "However, nothing is absolute in this world. These days, most women who are cheated on are betrayed by their best friends." He had considered this problem and didn't think it was an insurmountable difficulty.

  "The friendship between me and Jingyun, you will never understand." Chenchen said, dismissing Wu Tian's previous words.

  "There is no friendship between women." Wu Tian said with a smile.

  "Just you wait and see." Chen Chen continued to state his views, "Secondly, Jingyun's ideological tradition is conservative, not a casual woman. She has decided to guard her body for the rest of her life for her deceased husband and will not accept another love affair again. And her intelligence level is no lower than mine. Your nonsense can deceive some ignorant little girls, but it's impossible to deceive Jingyun."

  "Ah, indeed it's not easy to deceive." Wu Tian nodded in great agreement. One's thoughts are formed from a young age, and once they reach adulthood, it's difficult for them to change. Moreover, she was such an intelligent woman. With just a slight movement, he might be seen through by the other party - this was indeed a major problem. However, he didn't become pessimistic because of this, but instead said, "Whether or not to accept love is not something that can be decided by her own subjective will. The seeds of love can take root and sprout even in dark corners, blooming like a rare flower. As for what's meant by 'guarding one's chastity until the end of life'...even chaste women become beasts once they get into bed."

  "You're nothing but a beast." Chen Chen said with her eyes wide open.

  Wu Tian suddenly became unwilling. "You can scold me as a rascal, but you can't call me a beast, a rascal also has dignity." Wu Tian said seriously.

  Chen Chen clenched her teeth tightly, she couldn't wait to pounce on the other person and bite them to death.

  "Thirdly, do you think I'll let you get away with it that easily?" Chen Chen revealed a devilish smile as she looked at Wu Tian and continued, "With me around, you won't have any chance."

  "I knew you weren't a good person, I had expected that." Wu Tian heard this and instead of feeling worried, he said confidently, "When the time comes, I will let you know what it means to be a master of magic."

  Chen Chen clenched her fists tightly, thinking that after saying the third point, the other party would ask her not to participate, and then she could take the opportunity to belittle them. Unexpectedly, it turned out like this, as if she was the villain who beat the mandarin ducks.

  "You think you're so powerful? I'll show you what it means to be in deep waters!"

  "Article 4, also the last one..."

  It seemed that in order to attract Wu Tian's attention, or perhaps to emphasize the importance of the last point, Chen Chen deliberately stopped at this point and stared at Wu Tian with an unwavering gaze.

  Wu Tian didn't know what Chen Chen's last sentence was going to be, but it seemed like some kind of killer move, otherwise he wouldn't have saved it for last. As for the above three points, he had considered them all, and as for the others, he really hadn't thought of them. This made Wu Tian take a serious turn, listening carefully, perhaps this was the key to whether or not he could catch up to Jingyun.

  Chen Chen was very satisfied with Wu Tian's serious attitude, and after a while, he said word by word, "Wu Tian, remember. Eventually one day, you will suddenly realize that you have already fallen in love with me!"

  Wu Tian's mouth was agape, his expression very dull. He thought about the sky and the earth, but he hadn't expected Chen Chen to blurt out this sentence. He looked at Chen Chen and asked, "Is this the fourth one?"

  "Yes." Chen Chen nodded very seriously and then looked at Wu Tian with a provocative gaze, saying "How about it, scared?"

  "Hmph!"

  "Hahaha~~!"

  Wu Tian burst out laughing, doubling over and holding his stomach with one hand while pointing at Chen Chen, who was covered in spit, with the other. He gasped for air as he spoke, "Right, sorry about that! I didn't mean to. What you just said was just too funny. It's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life, and I couldn't help it... Don't be mad, okay? Let me wipe your face." Wu Tian casually pulled out a tissue and began wiping Chen Chen's face as he stood there with his eyes closed.

  Chen Chen slowly opened his eyes, took the tissue paper from Wu Tian's hand, wiped his face and said, "What I said is all serious, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

  "I know." Wu Tian nodded repeatedly, "I also listened carefully, otherwise I wouldn't have had such a reaction, almost laughed to death."

  When Chen heard Wu Tian's words, he had an urge to strangle him to death.

  "Just you wait and see, you'll definitely lose miserably!"

  "Heh heh, to be honest with you, I've never thought that pursuing Jingyun would be easy." Wu Tian stopped laughing and seemed to sink into some kind of beautiful memory, so his face only had a faint smile, a very calm yet confusing smile, with eyes full of expectation and longing. "I just think that pursuing her will definitely be a very interesting thing, don't you think so?"

  "What's interesting? What does it mean?" Chen Chen asked suspiciously.

  "Don't you think your actions tonight are quite interesting?" Wu Tian looked at Chen Chen with a hint of a smile, his narrowed eyes seeming to speak volumes.

  Chen Chen's whole body trembled as she thought back to her actions tonight, which were indeed very unusual. Earlier, she had lost her composure and fallen into Wu Tian's trap. Now, she had talked so much with the opponent. According to her own style, she should not have said anything and let her actions speak for themselves. Especially that fourth point, even she herself did not know why she would say something like that.

  "Fall in love with me"

  "Could it be that she herself hopes he will fall in love with her?"

  Chen Chen's mind began to waver, she looked up at Wu Tian who was watching her with great interest, those constantly flashing eyes made her heart flutter uncontrollably, and even the scenes from last night's drunkenness appeared in her mind. She didn't know if the images that suddenly appeared in her mind were real or not, but all of this had a profound impact on her.

  What's wrong with me?

  Chen Chen pushed Wu Tian away and turned back to his own room, closing the door behind him.

  "Hey, dinner!"

  "I'm full."

  "You have to finish it too so I can eat? Tonight's meal is on me."

  "I want to eat what I cooked myself, I'm tired and need a rest."

  Wu Tian looked at the tightly closed door and patted his growling stomach, but the smile on his face grew even thicker.

  Who falls in love with who... isn't certain yet!
