Then quietly leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never insisted on meeting her. Nor creating trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just leaving the bouquet behind silently. As if expressing her determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Leng Shuang tried to ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she directly messaged Chu Jing, asking her to stop this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was completely useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Chu Jing’s response was extremely simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Go on a date with me once. Then I’ll stop.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just remembering that conversation made Leng Shuang’s temples ache slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the problem was, where exactly was she supposed to find time for dating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day her schedule was already packed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daily morning combat training. The company’s work. Cultivation practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her master’s occasional mood swings, wanting to do strange things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like hunting criminals. Rescuing people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even organising mass torture sessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, her current life was already exhausting enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending an entire day leisurely dating someone? That sounded unrealistic for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qian Lian quietly observed Leng Shuang’s increasingly complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her eyes suddenly narrowed suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Wait. You’re actually troubled over this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang immediately frowned. \"What nonsense are you going to say now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\" Qian Lian crossed her arms meaningfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you truly had zero feelings for that woman, your reaction wouldn’t be this complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang instantly rejected it calmly. \"I simply don’t know how to deal with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That itself is already suspicious.\" Qian Lian immediately pointed at her confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You rejected countless people before without hesitation. The bothersome ones already have grass growing over their graves... Never mind, with your body disposal methods, there might be nothing left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get to the point,\" Leng Shuang rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, what I mean is towards this Chu Jing...\" Qian Lian’s expression became increasingly teasing. \"You’re strangely soft-hearted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang remained silent briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, although she hated to admit it, Qian Lian was partly correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anyone else constantly disturbing her work and daily life like this, Leng Shuang would have already handled the situation coldly and decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet toward Chu Jing... she subconsciously tolerated many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even she herself didn’t fully understand why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Chu Jing never crossed the line too forcefully. Or perhaps—the memory of that night on the open-air balcony flashed through her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You are the same as me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll wait for the day you decide to open your heart.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Shuang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang snapped out of her thoughts when Qian Lian waved her hand right in front of her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough with your nonsense.\" She squatted her hand away with an annoyed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, instead of being repulsed, Qian Lian’s eyes became increasingly bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aha... You definitely have issues.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are no issues.\" Leng Shuang replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Lian sneered. \"You already sound like those classic tsundere heroines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"’Hmph~ I don’t like her~’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"’I’m just troubled~’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"’Stop misunderstanding.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Qian Lian even imitated Leng Shuang’s cold expression perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang’s face darkened further. \"...Do you want to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Qian Lian immediately shook her head honestly. \"Especially not before meeting Master Su.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leaned comfortably against the sofa again while sipping her milkshake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still...\" She tilted her head thoughtfully. \"I genuinely think that girl suits you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s pretty. Persistent. And surprisingly brave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most people would’ve already cried after being ignored by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang sighed helplessly. \"The issue isn’t that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang hesitated briefly before finally speaking honestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I don’t want to date a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office suddenly quieted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Lian blinked once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several seconds, she suddenly burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang’s eyelids twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so funny?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Lian wiped tears from the corners of her eyes while laughing breathlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile became extremely strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are worried about such a small thing? In this day and age, who cares about that? If you insist, one of you can get a surgery. Isn’t that fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang gave her a flat look and said, \"Alright, let’s end this topic here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I said, I have no interest in dating a woman. So, end those thoughts right there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t think I don’t know what mischief you are planning. If you dare share those dangerous ideas of yours with Chu Jing. Believe me, it won’t be good for your upcoming days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Lian pouted her lips and said, \"How badly do you think of me? You are like my sister. Could I do something bad to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she said that, in her mind, she was thinking. ’For Shuang’s future, it seems I, as her good sister, need to lend a helping hand.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Chu Jing, don’t worry.
