Stop Being Pretentious!

What does Tang Xiao mean?

Why doesn’t she want to compete with Tang Xin?

To make Tang Xin happy, she would generously step aside and divorce Wu Jie!

According to her words…

Doesn’t that mean she has no feelings for brother at all?

Wu Jie was somewhat puzzled.

However…

Tang Xiao appeared indifferent, as if serene and detached.

It seemed that something as significant as a divorce was not important to her.

“What do you mean?” Wu Jie frowned and asked, “I’m not a ball that you two can kick back and forth as you please!”

Tang Xiao said with surprised laughter, “It’s a simple multiple-choice question!”

“Based on our conversation yesterday, I found that Tang Xin, that girl, has a special fondness for you, she might even have fallen in love with you already!”

“So I want to know, have you fallen in love with her too!”

“If so, then we should get a divorce; otherwise, she can’t be with you legitimately!”

Wu Jie let out a snort with a smirk.

“Wow!

You’re quite generous to give away your man so casually!”

Tang Xiao curled her lip and said, “Don’t flatter yourself, when did you become my man?”

“If I say you are, then you are!” Wu Jie spoke dominantly, “Have you forgotten our three chapter agreement?”

“You!!”

Tang Xiao bit her lip and glared, suddenly lost for words.

Wu Jie’s eyes were teasing, and he said with a playful smile:

“Why glower at me?

Don’t tell me this is a matter of principle, that you can simply refuse!”

“Who was it that told me, if I can heal someone’s old injury, she would be totally obedient, well-behaved, and follow my lead?”

Tang Xiao’s cheeks flushed.

Those words…

She had indeed said them!

But at the time, she really didn’t expect Wu Jie to be able to solve a world-class medical problem and heal her old injury.

So…

If from the start, we were just like a mutually beneficial fake couple, a fake marriage, each taking what we needed.

Now that I’ve achieved my goal, my old injury has healed, and I’ve resumed training – I can return to peak condition within three to five months.

Then Wu Jie should also get what he wants.

Thinking about these past days…

Wu Jie has expressed his desire more than once.

He’s said it and even demonstrated it with actions.

But what about me?

Wu Jie respects and takes good care of me, yet I’ve gotten used to acting as if it’s only natural, assuming that we’re equals in this relationship.

And Tang Xiao, used to being domineering and assertive, gradually assumed the upper hand, taking an inch and going for a mile.

To touch her meant to spark anger, to lie together meant to draw lines.

Give her an inch and she’ll take a mile indeed.

Thinking back to the beginning, I swore that if my old injury was healed, I’d be willing to do anything, be totally obedient and well-behaved.

But in reality?

I’ve been absurdly affected!

From a certain perspective, Tang Xiao knew she had already gone back on her word, breaking the promise she had made.

The funniest thing is…

I even had the gall to suggest a divorce, offering Wu Jie to Tang Xin…

I should’ve been repaying my life-saving debt, like a workhorse.

But I ended up acting like a princess, ordering Wu Jie around.

What is this?

Is this burning bridges after crossing the river?

Forgetting the pain as soon as the wound heals?

At that moment, Tang Xiao thought about a lot.

She finally came to a realization.

…..

“Uh…

I was just talking casually, offering a suggestion!”

“The words I, Tang Xiao, say are never ‘just talking.’ I always follow through with what I say!”

Tang Xiao said with a red face, hurriedly explaining.

Wu Jie smiled amiably and said:

“Since you’re going to be obedient, then get some sleep quickly!”

Tang Xiao nodded repeatedly and immediately lay down.

Wu Jie casually covered her with a blanket, reminding her:

“Don’t worry, I always convince with reason, and never force anyone to do anything they don’t want to do!”

“If there’s anything you don’t want to do, I definitely won’t force you, and I wouldn’t dream of ordering you around like a servant!”

Tang Xiao suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze complex as she looked at Wu Jie.

“I’ve heard that men really like to conquer, don’t they?”

Wu Jie’s brows condensed, “What do you mean by that?”

Tang Xiao spoke in a detached tone, “I’ve completely come to terms with it.

Between us, I shouldn’t act like a queen, but a maid instead.

So, after my period is over, you can take me whenever you want, and I definitely won’t hold any resentment!”

“After all, you’ve already healed my old wounds, which is what I wanted, and it’s only right that I should give myself to you!”

“I should have realized this long ago and made it clear to you, but your tender and meticulous care in the past few days made me somewhat capricious!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie’s expression turned dark in an instant.

The words of Tang Xiao did not bring him any sense of surprise.

On the contrary!

It was a feeling of loss!

Disappointment!

This feeling was like having the goddess he adored, pursued crazily, suddenly say she would do anything in return for a favor.

Was she truly submissive and willing?

This made Wu Jie feel that Tang Xiao was compromising.

“What’s wrong?

You don’t seem happy at all!”

Tang Xiao asked curiously.

Wu Jie forced a faint smile and turned away.

He laid back, hands pillowing his head, staring blankly at the decorative patterns on the ceiling of the cabin.

Tang Xiao was somewhat baffled.

Did she say something wrong again?

Turning to face Wu Jie, Tang Xiao poked his side with her hand.

“Hey!

Say something, will you?

Did I just say something wrong?

If you’re not satisfied or happy, just say it!”

Wu Jie shook his head and said indifferently,

“You didn’t say anything wrong, it’s just me overthinking!”

Huh??

Tang Xiao asked in surprise, “Why would you say that?”

Wu Jie replied with a wry smile,

“The two of us came together out of mutual use.

I thought living together day and night could cultivate real feelings.”

“But the truth proves that it was just wishful thinking on my part.

I thought I could make you willing, but in the end, it’s still all about a trade of benefits!”

Tang Xiao’s lips twitched slightly, and her brows furrowed delicately.

“I…

still don’t understand!”

Wu Jie glanced sideways at Tang Xiao,

“Actually, I don’t want you to suppress your temperament and character and force yourself to submit to me because you owe me a life debt.”

“Even if I get you this way, what does it amount to?”

“It feels even worse than spending money to go out and have fun.

After all, in both cases, compliance is for benefit, but at least when it’s for money, they’ll do their utmost!”

“And you?

I’m afraid you would just close your eyes and treat it as a nightmare, right?”

Just as Tang Xiao was about to retort, Wu Jie interrupted,

“I know you want to say you can learn, but what’s the point of that?

Am I really looking for a wife or what!”

“Do you think I’ve paid such a high price just to have you?”

“Have I gone mad?

With the same cost, I can find thousands of beautiful women, no worse than you, gentle and considerate!”

Tang Xiao fell silent.

Even if she was not adept at socializing, with not the highest EQ, she could understand what Wu Jie meant.

In simple terms, Wu Jie wanted a mutual affection, not a forced compromise.

After all, as Tang Xin said, Wu Jie was rich and capable; finding a beauty wasn’t hard for him, right?

Just like the news that had recently broken.

When the rich sought spouses, they wanted high education, good looks, a great figure, a gentle personality…

With so many demands, there were still thousands of beautiful women who submitted their resumes.

What does that prove?

It only shows that the scientists are right.

At the core, humans are still animals.

And as animals, females tend to naturally choose superior males.

This is the natural law of survival of the fittest and the elimination of the less fit!

Just like in reality.

Which beauty would choose to love and marry a homeless man rummaging through trash or a penniless debtor to live with?

Poor commoners, mostly single and lonely, spend boring days with just their phones and computers for company.

By contrast, a man with a house, a car, and money, even if disabled, can still find a woman’s company.

This is not to mention the highborn, the offspring of the wealthy, the social elites; they never lack for beautiful women around them.

So…

Wu Jie is not a fool; spending so much to heal himself was not simply for play.

Perhaps Wu Jie took their fake romance and fake marriage seriously long ago.

And Tang Xiao herself was still naively mistaking Wu Jie for wanting to conquer her.

Staring blankly at Wu Jie,

Tang Xiao’s heart fluttered with increasing unease.

“Alright, let’s go to bed early!”

Wu Jie said and turned back over.

Tang Xiao bit her lip, her eyes heating up and her nose growing sour.

Without any hesitation,

Tang Xiao suddenly overstepped the boundary…
