Chapter 154: Not Playing Games

"This All Gathered Virtue roast duck is really delicious!"

"Shengli, thank you."

Qin Jingru said while eating.

"What are you being polite for? As long as you like it, I can bring you here every day."

Lin Shengli smiled and said.

"Mm, I really do like it."

"It's really delicious, but it's too expensive."

"I feel a bit bad for making you spend so much money."

Qin Jingru nodded, let out a soft sigh, and said.

"I've told you before, what I lack the most now is money." Lin Shengli laughed and said.

Qin Jingru raised her head, saw Lin Shengli not moving his chopsticks, and quickly asked:

"Why aren't you eating?"

"You should eat more too; I can't finish it all by myself."

Lin Shengli: "I'm full."

"Take your time eating, it's fine; we have plenty of time today."

"Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there; if you want to see my Siheyuan, that's fine too—no problem."

"Today you're the boss, okay?"

Qin Jingru happily said: "Thank you, you're really kind."

Saying this, her face suddenly darkened, then she let out a long sigh and continued:

"It's a pity you already have a significant other."

Lin Shengli looked left and right, saw no acquaintances and nobody looking his way, then lowered his voice and said:

"I do have a significant other."

"And I am definitely going to marry her."

"I won't allow anyone to affect our life together."

"Otherwise, I definitely won't let that person off."

"My wife can only be her."

"I can't lie to you about this."

"And I won't play games with you."

"It wouldn't be right to deceive you and then renege after we get together, would it?"

"Someone like me, with a few tricks and some lies, could get any woman."

"But I can't do that."

Saying this, Lin Shengli raised his hand to touch his own chest, then continued:

"I can't get past this point."

"I have to do things in a way that I can face my conscience."

"How should I put it?"

"In short, we despise lowly tactics."

"No matter what, we must be open and aboveboard."

"Besides, no matter what, I must make good on what I said today."

"Today, wherever you want to go for a stroll, I'll accompany you."

"Whatever you want to buy, I'll get it for you."

"What I say, I will do."

"However, I admit, I still like you."

Qin Jingru felt a bit uneasy inside.

Lin Shengli was very frank.

She could never become Lin Shengli's wife.

But she also felt somewhat excited in her heart.

Because such an outstanding man as Lin Shengli actually likes her, a country girl.

Qin Jingru lightly bit her lip and asked:

"Why are you being so good to me?"

"Even though you know we can't be together, you still treat me so well."

Lin Shengli laughed and said: "Because you're a pure girl, you deserve nice clothes and nice shoes."

"No matter what, I will make good on what I've said."

Qin Jingru didn't speak, but started eating the roast duck.

She realized she seemed to be liking Lin Shengli more and more.

"He's so handsome and so wealthy."

"And so frank and honest."

"He's exactly the man she's been dreaming of."

"She's not stupid either."

Although Lin Shengli didn't say it outright, she also knew he wants to be with her, but the status is out of the question.

"If she were with Lin Shengli, would he give her a Siheyuan?"

Even if he doesn't give it, she still wants to stay with Lin Shengli; can Lin Shengli let her keep living in the Siheyuan?

Also, will Lin Shengli give her a salary?

If she has money, doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, lives in the Siheyuan and becomes a city dweller, then not having a formal status isn't bad either.

For a moment, Qin Jingru started to overthink.

She has always been a realistic woman.

She doesn't place much importance on formal status.

Having a status is best; if not, having money and other compensation is also not unacceptable.

Mainly because Lin Shengli is too handsome.

She fell in love at first sight when she saw Lin Shengli.

Love at first sight is basically just being attracted by looks.

If Lin Shengli weren't handsome, she couldn't fall in love at first sight.

After thinking for a while, Qin Jingru said:

"Shengli Ge, could you give me an idea?"

"You have to inform my sister as well."

"Otherwise, offending her would be inappropriate."

"After all, we are relatives."

Lin Shengli: "I've already thought of this idea for you."

"It can definitely shift the crisis away."

"And it has nothing to do with you or me."

Qin Jingru said happily:

"Then tell me quickly."

Lin Shengli patted the chair beside him and said:

"Come, sit over here, I'll tell you."

Qin Jingru hurriedly stood up, walked to Lin Shengli's side, and sat down.

Lin Shengli lifted the corner of his mouth, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and whispered a few words into her ear.

She immediately nodded excitedly and said:

"Alright, I'll follow your lead."

Lin Shengli: "By the way, I forgot to tell you."

"What I'm saying is also true."

"I think if I don't say it, I might be letting you down."

"Anyway, my advice is that no one should associate with Shazhu."

"Because Shazhu lost an egg."

Qin Jingru: "Huh?"

Lin Shengli: "Not only did he lose an egg, but we don't even know if that thing is useful or not."

"Shazhu has a terrible temper and a foul mouth."

"He has long been mortal enemies with someone nearby."

"Relying on his height and strength, he constantly bullies others—so vicious."

"Since childhood he specifically kicked that person, causing them to become infertile."

"That person swore to take revenge."

"He came to me asking to teach him martial arts."

Qin Jingru couldn't help but interrupt:

"Shengli Ge, do you know martial arts?"

Lin Shengli nodded and said:

"Someone like Shazhu, I alone can beat ten of them."

Qin Jingru stared at Lin Shengli with a lovestruck expression:

"Shengli Ge, you're amazing!"

"I'm liking you more and more."

"What happened afterwards?"

Lin Shengli: "That person was actually kind to me."

"I taught him a few moves."

"At first I didn't know he intended to use them against Shazhu."

"In the end he used my teachings to defeat Shazhu and took his revenge."

"It was ruthless; perhaps because he'd been bullied by Shazhu all along, he became infertile."

"Anyway, that day we beat Shazhu terribly."

"We stomped on that thing of Shazhu with our foot, and as a result Shazhu's single egg was ruined, and that thing was also injured."

"The doctor said whether it functions now depends on Shazhu's fate."

"I guess that function might be gone now."

Qin Jingru, with a face full of anger, said: "Then why did my sister still introduce me to him?"

"My sister is really overstepping, isn't she?"

Lin Shengli: "Based on my analysis, perhaps because Shazhu often helped your sister, she felt embarrassed and therefore introduced you."

Actually, your sister probably also thinks you wouldn't fall for a guy like Shazhu.

Even if you did fall for him, your sister has a way to break you up.

In short, your sister probably wouldn't let you marry Shazhu.
