Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 451: Like

This dumbass’s way of thinking stunned Fu Shihan for a moment, self-mockingly realizing he and that dumbass who used to plaster her photos everywhere were actually cut from the same cloth.

He pulled her over, opened the passenger door, shoved her in, turned on the heater, and drove home.

He was in her car, and if anyone was leaving, it was him.

Su Wanxin was so angry she turned her head to gaze out the window, not wanting to say a word to him.

He actually wanted to take back the necklace, what a cheap, shameless scumbag!

Fu Shihan drove the car to a small road a distance from their home and stopped.

The dim streetlights were on, the street was empty, no people around, and hardly any cars.

Su Wanxin nervously grabbed the seatbelt, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"Let’s talk." Fu Shihan replied promptly, "It might cause misunderstandings with Su Yao if we go back now, so let’s finish talking before we head home."

"What’s there left for us to talk about?"

"A lot. If you wish, I can talk to you all night, without sleeping."

Su Wanxin: "..."

"Were you on a blind date today?" Fu Shihan returned to his initial question.

Su Wanxin hesitated for a moment, "Not at that stage yet."

Not at that stage? Planning to take things gradually, huh?

"Do you want to get married?"

"I don’t."

"Then why go on a blind date?"

"If I meet someone I like, maybe I’ll feel like it?" Su Wanxin threw caution to the wind. "My parents know him; they have a good impression and quite like him."

Fu Shihan: "..."

What’s this feeling of defeat before even meeting her parents?

Su Yao said that their family doesn’t like him; not a single one did.

This...

Fu Shihan closed his eyes, suddenly sporting a somewhat despairing expression that made Su Wanxin wonder, what’s wrong with him?

"There’s no need to meet him, you definitely won’t like him." After retreating into himself for a while, Fu Shihan recovered.

"How do you know I won’t like him?" Su Wanxin frowned.

"You used to like me. How is he anything like me?"

Aside from both being men.

Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, versus black-haired, brown-eyed, a huge difference, okay?

"Do you like him because he speaks English well? I can do that too."

"Fu Shihan, do you like me?" Su Wanxin felt he might have lost his mind, or perhaps she had as well.

She threw the question he asked her that night back at him. "Why do you care so much about me, are you that idle?"

Her question returned the car to silence.

Fu Shihan thought long and hard, finally letting out a sigh.

"I do."

"... You didn’t say that a few days ago."

Back then, when she said she hated him, he said what a coincidence, because he hated her too.

Su Wanxin was a bit regretful being caught off guard by his straightforward answer. She hadn’t expected him to say that.

"What about me do you like?" she asked hesitantly.

"Good-looking?" Fu Shihan raised an eyebrow and seeing her expression, he laughed. "You should ask me what I hate about you. That’s an easier question."

Throwing out such a line, how would he know what he liked about her? He just felt that he liked her, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so angry upon seeing her having dinner with that guy that he wanted to rush over and hit someone.

You can deceive others but not yourself, so Fu Shihan decided to be a bit more honest.

"... What do you hate about me?"

"I hate how you make me worry." He answered softly. "It hurts so much, I don’t know how to fix it."

This was an unexpected response.

"If you really want to get married, try it with me. Let’s give it another shot, isn’t that okay?"

He asked earnestly and Su Wanxin considered it seriously, then shook her head: "No, it isn’t."
