Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Liu Mei Qi was previously the Sales Champion at Huangsheng Real Estate, and her joining Shanhai Real Estate was arranged by Zhang Sheng himself.

This makes it hard not to suspect that she and Zhang Sheng have an unusual relationship.

"No."

Liu Mei Qi answered cleanly and decisively.

But as for whether it was true or false, Wang Erhai found it hard to judge.

Wang Erhai continued to ask her:

"How many boyfriends have you had?"

Wang Erhai wasn't asking whether she had ever dated a boyfriend, but how many boyfriends she had had, because after last night's attempt, he knew Liu Mei Qi's experience in that area was still quite rich.

It was absolutely impossible for it to be her first time falling in love.

Wang Erhai actually didn't care too much whether Liu Mei Qi was a first-timer; his previous girlfriend Zhang Xiaoyun had been a first-timer, but because she lacked dating experience, the two of them didn't know how to handle conflicts when getting along, and Zhang Xiaoyun also had many personality flaws, which eventually led to them parting unhappily.

Still, he hoped Liu Mei Qi wouldn't have too complicated a past, after all, loving cleanliness is everyone's nature.

"Are you asking about those I've dated, or those I've had relations with?" Liu Mei Qi asked.

"Both."

Wang Erhai said so.

Liu Mei Qi then answered:

"I've dated four: one in high school, one in university, two after starting work, and I've had relations with three."

Wang Erhai lowered his head to drink tea, saying nothing.

Liu Mei Qi asked in return:

"What about you?"

Wang Erhai answered honestly:

"Before you, I only dated one person; we were each other's first love."

Liu Mei Qi gave a polite smile:

"Then you must have been deeply engraved in each other's hearts?"

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly:

"I wouldn't say deeply engraved, but there are some painful memories."

Ordinary people tend to wishfully assume that being each other's first love would be wonderful.

But in reality, it's not necessarily so.

Although Wang Erhai and Zhang Xiaoyun were each other's first love.

But back then, Wang Erhai confessed to Zhang Xiaoyun entirely because he had been deeply hurt by Chen Xiaomei, and so he turned to Zhang Xiaoyun; thus, he actually didn't love Zhang Xiaoyun that much.

And the reason Zhang Xiaoyun agreed to his confession was entirely because he was the Second-in-command of Shanhai Real Estate, not because she valued him as a person.

These factors had long since planted the seeds of their breakup.

"May I ask a question: if your first love came to find you, would you reconcile with her?"

Liu Mei Qi asked such a question.

Women are all like this; they more easily make comparisons and are jealous, and even for a boyfriend's ex-girlfriend they've never met, they would bring her out to compare.

"No, we ended long ago; it's impossible to reconcile."

Wang Erhai's answer was firm, without a shred of hesitation.

Because back then, it was he who actively proposed the breakup.

People who have dated know that when a woman proposes a breakup, it's usually a test, acting out, needing to be loved; but when a man proposes a breakup, it's disappointment, being deeply hurt, and having made up his mind to part.

"What about you? If your ex-boyfriend came to seek reconciliation, how would you choose?"

Wang Erhai asked Liu Mei Qi in return.

Liu Mei Qi thought for a moment, then said:

"I think I probably wouldn't reconcile either."

Her answer was similar to Wang Erhai's.

But her attitude was completely opposite.

Wang Erhai was decisive, while she hesitated.

Often, judging a person isn't about what he/she says, but about what attitude he/she has.

Actually, Liu Mei Qi still loved her previous boyfriend quite a bit; it was just that he couldn't bear her status as Huangsheng's Sales Champion, couldn't bear her going to contact male clients every few days, couldn't bear all the village gossip, so they finally broke up.

Online, someone said there are three types of women you shouldn't marry: nurses, flight attendants, and saleswomen.

This is somewhat occupational discrimination, but there is some reason for it.

The first two are because they're too busy to take care of the family, while the latter is not only too busy but also has to drink with various clients.

So female saleswomen are a big pit in marriage partner selection, and female sales champions are an even bigger pit among big pits.

Liu Mei Qi herself relied on her beauty to act fearlessly, so it was only natural that she didn't make it to the end with her previous few boyfriends.

Wang Erhai even suspected whether she deliberately underreported the number.

She had only dated four times, and only three involved relations—was that true?

And with this kind of thing, what someone says goes; you have no way to investigate or testify.

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

Seeing Wang Erhai not speaking, Liu Mei Qi asked another sentence.

Wang Erhai shook his head:

"Not for now."

Then he asked back:

"What about you, do you have anything else to ask?"

Liu Mei Qi had plenty more she wanted to ask, because she truly wanted to try seeing Wang Erhai.

"How many people are in your family?"

Liu Mei Qi asked.

Wang Erhai answered honestly:

"My parents, my eldest brother, my Third Brother, and my Eldest Sister-in-law. Although my Eldest Sister-in-law and my eldest brother aren't married yet, they should be soon, so she counts as family."

Liu Mei Qi asked again: "Where is your home?"

"I'm from this county. Do you know Shangou Village in Gao Gang Town?"

"I know, that place is quite remote, at the border between two counties. I'm also from this county." Liu Mei Qi said so, then asked again:

"Do you have a house? Do you have a car?"

"I haven't bought a house yet; I'm using that one car for now." Wang Erhai answered honestly.

Liu Mei Qi asked again:

"If we get married, who do you think should handle the money?"

"Each handles their own." Wang Erhai felt some displeasure inside.

They hadn't even started dating yet, and she was already thinking about marriage.

But this was also his true thought.

He felt it was good like his eldest brother and Eldest Sister-in-law, each having their own career, each having their own savings, not interfering too much in each other's careers; that way they could live in harmony.

"If we get together, I hope we can still have a house that belongs to ourselves."

Liu Mei Qi said so.

Wang Erhai asked:

"Do you mean a house in County Town, or a house in a big city outside?"

"One in County Town is fine."

"That's easy; you can afford to buy one now. Chunsheng Uncle's Chuncheng Garden isn't bad; if we buy, we can get an internal discount price."

Wang Erhai said so, but immediately changed the subject:

"But regarding buying a house, I think it's better to decide to get married first before buying. Buying now isn't of much use. A house actually has only two attributes: one is living, the other is school district, for children to study."

His meaning was that there was no need to buy a house for Liu Mei Qi just because they started dating, because he wasn't sure if he and Liu Mei Qi could make it to the end.

"What you say is reasonable."

Liu Mei Qi nodded.

Then she smiled and said:

"I think you're quite good; we can formally date. What do you think of me?"

Wang Erhai glanced at her: "Quite good too."

This kind of interaction between the two made him feel strange.

How did it feel like they were on a blind date?

Various conditions were laid out on the table for negotiation.

And it was happening after they had already had relations, then coming to negotiate.

Liu Mei Qi said at this time:

"But to formally be together, you still have to give me a formal confession; I'm someone who cares quite a bit about a sense of ceremony."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai was somewhat speechless.

He really couldn't understand why women all loved doing these flashy things? What use was doing these flashy things?

But he still said:

"Fine, give me a few days to prepare."
