Lover (12)

When she thought about it, Su Kui felt proud of Song Cheng. He was her man. Even though his appearance had changed, he was still a remarkable person…

In terms of looks or talent.

Song Cheng could not help but sigh when he saw her lower her head with her wandering thoughts. How did he not realize that this woman was so absent-minded in the past?

Was it because he just wanted to satisfy his physiological needs in the past, so he never really paid attention to her? It took him until now to realize that she was different from the image he had of her in his memory after their latest encounter…

"Why? Is that question difficult to answer? So difficult that you have to think for such a long time?" he asked randomly as he did not like the quiet environment in the narrow elevator.

Unexpectedly, Su Kui raised her fair face and nodded earnestly. Her eyes were bright and sparkly. "Yeah, I'm racking my brain to figure out how to answer your questions!"

"Ha…" Song Cheng laughed casually. "Then, have you figured it out?"

"I have figured it out…" Su Kui suddenly narrowed her foxy eyes slyly. Her voice grew softer as she dragged out her words. "Do you want to hear it?"

"Let's hear it." He was curious. What shocking remarks would the woman, who had been giving him novel feelings for these two days, say?

"You promise you won't get angry?"

"I don't get upset that easily…"

Her little face suddenly inched closer toward him as soon as he finished his sentence. Unlike the elegant and quiet image from his memory, she became domineering and determined. She stared at him and slowly said, "Very simple. It's because I don't want to pretend anymore. That's all."

"It's that simple?" Song Cheng was amused even though he was a little angry. It turned out that her being a gold-digger was all an act.

However, Song Cheng was curious. "Why?"

"You want to know?"

"Of course!"

Su Kui pulled away from him, and her alluring scent followed. It made Song Cheng feel a little regretful.

She stood straight. Then, she leaned against the elevator's wall and spoke some lies that were mixed with truths. "I know you must have investigated me before you kept me as your lover, right?" Su Kui raised her eyebrows when she saw that Song Cheng was about to say something. "Don't deny it so fast. Of course, it's understandable for someone in your position to be a little more cautious."

She shrugged and continued, "I'm an orphan. I have received all kinds of treatments since I was young, which is why I thought that there was nothing in this world that could give a sense of security better than money…"

Song Cheng narrowed his eyes and nodded as he seemed to agree with what she said.

"To be honest, it's quite surprising that you fancy me. I originally planned to make a fortune out of you and leave, but…"

 "But what?" Song Cheng did not like her habit of always stopping midway when speaking. Moreover, "make a fortune out of him"? What did she take him for?

"But I've lost." Looking into Song Cheng's calm eyes, Su Kui sincerely said, "Yes, I've lost. I've fallen in love with you! I don't want to pretend anymore because I know I won't be able to have you if I remain the way I used to be."

Somehow, her words made Song Cheng's heart skip a beat.

He never lacked women or admirers. All of them were beautiful. However, there was no one who could make his heart beat again except her.

Song Cheng stared at her and suddenly joked, "How are you sure that you'd be able to grab my heart with your current appearance?"

Furthermore…

'How do I know if your actions aren't another act; another illusion?'
