Chapter 13.2 - Victory at the very end (2)
Cong Rong looked up at him, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Wen Shaoqing smiled, "Why not?"
Cong Rong shook her head without answering.
"I was originally planning to get a bordie collie ... When I saw Rang Yi Rang, though it wasn’t a bordie collie, I loved it at first sight." Cong Rong repeated in a low voice, her face without many expressions.
Maybe that is how love is like.
He believed in love at first sight. Like is like, dislike is dislike, so were they fated?
She hid her disappointment beneath her indifferent look and a mixture of feelings overwhelmed her suddenly. She blurted out, "So... you said that you liked someone, was it because of love at first sight?"
Wen Shaoqing was stunned, "What?"
Cong Rong continued, "Zhong Zhen said, you told him that you have someone you like."
"Oh, you're talking about this." Wen Shaoqing suddenly laughed, and then shook his head for a while before answering, "No."
Cong Rong did not give up, "Why was that the case?"
Wen Shaoqing no longer answered, but threw a question to her, "What about you? What do you like about me?"
Cong Rong was finally annoyed, and her eyes burned like fire. What did he mean? Why was he treating her like this when he already had someone he liked?!
Cong Rong stood up angrily, ready to leave.
Wen Shaoqing watched her turning from expressionless to angry and then glaring at him. He sighed. No matter how sensible and calm the woman is, after all, she is a woman. Then he patted Rang Yi Rang, "Stop her from leaving."
Rang Yi Rang Rong quickly rushed to the door and stood in front of Cong Rong, showing his fierce look.
Cong Rong was afraid of it, and now she dare not go forward. She took a few steps back and glared at the calm and relaxed Wen Shaoqing sitting on the sofa, "Is that what your pet is for?"
"Would you like to have one too?" Wen Shaoqing suggested seriously, "Let me think of a pet without hair... Ah, yes, pigs! You can get yourself some pigs!"
Cong Rong glared at him, "Hurry, tell it to go away!"
Wen Shaoqing looked at her, laughed and said coolly: "You tell it yourself."
"Wen Shaoqing! This is an illegal house arrest! I will send you a lawyer's letter!"
"Why are you so irritable every time we talk about you liking me?"
"I am not!"
"Look."
Cong Rong took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her emotions.
Attorney Cong calmed down. When she quarreled with others, not being calm is a taboo. Don't be angry. Don't be angry. Your quarreling experience is way more than Wen Shaoqing's. He is just a layman, and can never win you.
She looked back quickly, smiled at Wen Shaoqing, and spoke, "At that time I was too young and thought that the feeling was love. Looking back, I realise it was just my heartbeat that was being abnormal. You, Dr. Wen is a professional doctor. Occasional irregular heartbeat is not normal, isn’t it. This should be a physiological reaction? Anyway, after so long, it feels like nothing already. Dr. Wen also has someone who you like. Shall we be good neighbors next time?"
After she finished speaking, she deliberately relaxed the smile on her lips, and then looked at Wen Shaoqing quietly.
Wen Shaoqing lowered his eyes and Cong Rong couldn’t guess what he was thinking. After a while, he lazily lifted his eyes and looked at her, and suddenly laughed.
Cong Rong felt that she had nowhere to run when he saw the smile in his eyes. It was still the same face, and the curvature at the corner of his mouth did not change much, but she read that “slyness” and “evilness” under the gentle smile that she once thought. These days, she gradually realized that he was not as gentle and simple as she thought.
He spoke quickly this time: "Rang Yi Rang, let her go."
Rang Yi Rang shook its tail, and really let the door open.
Cong Rong opened the door quickly and walked out quickly. When the door was about to close, Wen Shaoqing suddenly stopped her: "Cong Rong."
The corner of Cong Rong's eyes tensed. "What?"
His sight fell on her face for a long time, and finally, he said in a soft voice, "The next time when you want to tell someone you don’t like him, remember to say it while looking into his eyes instead of his philtrum. It looks more... sincere that way."
He triumphantly smirked at her in that playful way again. Cong Rong felt blood rushing to her head again. Without thinking about it, she shouted, "Wen Shaoqing, you bastard!"
Rang Yi Rang barked after hearing her yell and Cong Rong immediately closed the door and fled, not forgetting to provoke him in her own way, "Is that what your pet is for?"
