Her sister left in a huff.
Ge'er took the clothes her sister had brought and changed into them in the room. They fit perfectly. She came out and told Shang Jincheng that her sister had also left.
Shang Jincheng grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "Aren't you eating?"
Ge'er frowned. "Shang Jincheng, don't push it. I'm not stupid, can't I sort out my own meals? Was I starving before I met you? Let go."
Shang Jincheng didn't.
"It's our first day of marriage, no matter how you've eaten before, you must let me treat you today."
Hearing him mention marriage, Ge'er's anger flared, and she shook his hand off.
"I'm telling you one last time, we are not married! That was just a moment of foolishness on my part... If you keep pushing it, I'll really lose my temper!"
Seeing that he couldn't keep her, Shang Jincheng became anxious.
"Zhan Jingge, are you that distrustful of me, do you really think I'm sick? Fine, then we won't eat. We'll go to the hospital right now, you can watch me get examined, and I'll shove a clean bill of health in your face!"
Ge'er was truly exasperated with him.
She used to only know that he wasn't good at studying and had low intelligence. Now, it seemed he was completely dim-witted, and she couldn't get through to him.
"I don't want to eat with you, not because I'm afraid you're sick, that was just an excuse, Shang Jincheng. I simply don't want to be with you, and I don't want to marry you. Is that direct enough? Can you understand that?"
Shang Jincheng certainly understood.
But how could he give up so easily after finally getting the person he liked?
He held her hand tightly.
"I don't care. We definitely won't get divorced, and today is our wedding anniversary. If you look back and don't have a perfect ending, you'll definitely blame me, saying I wasn't persistent enough or firm enough with you. So, you must eat this meal with me today!"
"..."
Ge'er was almost brought to tears by him.
If only she were stronger, she would have loved to pin him down and beat him up.
"Fine. I'll eat with you. But I'll say it again. We are just ordinary friends right now. Don't talk to me about marriage or anything like that."
Shang Jincheng coaxed and tricked her into the car. Ge'er sat in the passenger seat, not looking at him, staring out the window the entire time.
"What do you want to eat? I'll book a restaurant in advance."
She was listless. "You decide, whatever."
"Whatever?" A sly smile crept onto Shang Jincheng's lips.
"You said it. Don't regret it later."
As soon as she heard his tone, she knew he had no good intentions and immediately took back her words.
Passing by a chain hot pot restaurant, she pointed out the window.
"Let's go here then, for hot pot. Stop the car, stop the car."
The two finally settled down and entered the hot pot restaurant.
After ordering the broth and side dishes, Shang Jincheng asked if she wanted to drink.
Ge'er just wanted to get rid of him quickly, how could she be in the mood to drink with him?
"No."
"Then have some juice, I'll pour it for you."
Seeing him so cheerful and attentive, Ge'er's anger subsided again.
After drinking a few sips of juice to calm herself, she looked at him with a normal expression.
"Since we're sitting down, let's have a good chat. Shang Jincheng, I'm going to ask you a few questions next, do you dare to tell the truth?"
Shang Jincheng knew what she was going to ask without even thinking. He put on a "bring it on" demeanor.
"Ask away. Whoever doesn't tell the truth is a bastard."
"Alright then, I'll ask you, how many girlfriends have you had since you were young? Can you count them on ten fingers?"
Shang Jincheng immediately pounced on her question and smiled triumphantly.
"What's your standard for a girlfriend? If eating a meal together or attending a party counts, then I'm sorry, I can't even count them on all my fingers and toes."
Having many girlfriends is something to be proud of?
Shameless.
Ge'er tapped her fingers on the table, ordering him to be serious.
"My standard for a girlfriend is different from yours. I mean, have you ever had feelings for her, liked her? Do you know what it feels like to like someone? It's when you're happy to see her and disappointed when you don't. According to my definition, how many have you had?"
Shang Jincheng blurted out without even thinking.
"None. By your standard, not a single one so far."
Ge'er was almost shocked to death by him.
"You're too much of a scumbag, Shang Jincheng. You mess around with so many women, slept with countless people, and in the end, you haven't had feelings for anyone?"
Shang Jincheng raised an eyebrow. "Who told you I slept with all of them?"
"Didn't sleep with them? Oh, suddenly acting pure? Anyway, you guys can't tell if... if you're playing tricks on me, right?" m..oΓg
Shang Jincheng was speechless.
She was right. Men couldn't tell anyway. He was beyond refutation.
"Anyway, I've told you the truth. Believe it or not. Are you done asking?"
Ge'er rolled her eyes at him. "You don't dare to tell the truth, so what's the point of asking more? I'm done."
"Alright then, it's my turn to ask you."
Shang Jincheng looked at her intently. "Do you dare to tell the truth?"
Ge'er stuck her neck out. "What is there that I wouldn't dare to say? You just want to ask how many boyfriends I've had, right? Feel free to inquire. I haven't had a single one since I was young."
Unexpectedly, Shang Jincheng didn't believe her either.
"You haven't had any boyfriends, so have you never had feelings for anyone?"
"I don't believe that in all these years you haven't liked any men. I've told you the truth, Zhan Jingge, don't be a sore loser."
Ge'er was momentarily choked by his words. After a few seconds, she told the truth.
"I'm a normal person too. If I said I've never liked men, that would be impossible. However, it was all a long time ago, and I've never told anyone."
"So, there was indeed someone, right?"
"What? Do I have to tell you the name of the person I had a crush on?"
Shang Jincheng knew the name of her crush without her saying it.
"Lei Dongyi, right? If I'm not mistaken, the person you had a crush on is Lei Dongyi."
Ge'er was startled by him.
Her crush on Lei Dongyi happened in middle school. After graduating high school, he moved abroad with his family. Even Tiantian didn't know about it, so how could he know?
Seeing her expression, Shang Jincheng knew he had guessed correctly. He smiled with a mixture of pride and sadness.
"Don't ask me how I know. There's nothing about you that I don't know. How many years have we known each other? Do you believe me if I say I remember exactly which teeth you were losing when you were nine years old?"
His words didn't bring Ge'er joy; instead, she looked down on him again.
"Yes, we've known each other for so many years, there's no freshness at all. How can we develop into a couple like this?"
"Let's not waste each other's time. I can't tolerate any impurities. If you marry me, you can never interact with other women again. So, let's get divorced quickly."
Shang Jincheng didn't expect her to be so stubborn, no matter what he said, it couldn't get through to her.
Seeing her insistence on divorce, he felt too upset to eat anything.
