"This..." Ding Jing was at a loss for words.
True, she liked won, but that didn't make her a man. Aside from her orientation, her psychology was the sa as any other woman's. She was no less capable of the delicate thoughts expected of a woman.
Most n, when they don't have money, rant and rave about wanting to be good to only one person for a lifeti. This is mostly because if they were good to others, those others wouldn't care, and even this one might not bother with them; but once they've made it big, surrounded by beautiful won, few can rember their original promises and withstand the temptations of a dazzling world.
If Suming really agreed so easily to take advantage just because he wanted a little benefit, or even took the opportunity to climb the pole and want sothing real with Hong Feifei or her, then in Ding Jing's eyes, Suming was just an ordinary nouveau riche at best.
Everyone has desires. A truly strong person is one who can overco their own desires for sothing worth cherishing.
Ding Jing gazed at Suming's still sowhat young profile, her heart stirred inexplicably. She wasn't annoyed by Suming's refusal of her suggestion; on the contrary, she found herself admiring him more. It's because there are so many unreliable people in the world that one who is worth relying on seems so precious.
"Besides, Hong Feifei is in her twenties. Just because her dad wants her to go back, does she have to? There's no such rule, right?" Suming continued.
Ding Jing gave a wry smile, "I don't know about you and your girlfriend's situation, and you don't know about her family's situation. Feifei's mom died very early, and when she was a child, she told her dad 'If you find a new mom, I won't call you dad anymore'. Afraid of her being mistreated, he never remarried. She didn't understand before, but now that she's grown up, she feels she owes her father too much... So if her dad really puts his foot down, Feifei will listen."
"I see..." Suming stroked his chin thoughtfully, suddenly smiled, and nodded toward the direction of Whisperwind Pavilion outside: "Then how about Nangong Huang?"
Ding Jing 'ha'ed and counter-asked, "Do you think that's possible?"
"Oh, yeah, that does seem inappropriate," Suming laughed as well.
Being with Hong Feifei, Ding Jing might at most have an issue with orientation; but being involved with Nangong Huang would an having a brain issue.
People can have problems anywhere, but not the brain. Every ailnt has a cure, or at least can be delayed for a while, but there's no curing stupidity.
It's not that Nangong Huang is no good; it's just that he and Hong Feifei are completely mismatched.
It's like pairing Lin Huiyin with boxing champion Tyson; what kind of picture would that paint...
"Not to ntion whether your brother-in-law would be willing to do it, even if the two of them were willing to pretend, Hong Feifei's dad is not a fool, he could tell at a glance that Hong Feifei is acting and lying to him. I think, you're the most suitable. You and Feifei are about the sa age, you're handso, successful in your career, and you're her boss. The two of you spend all day together; closeness breeds fondness..." Ding Jing continued her offensive.
"It's no use flattering . There are no walls without wind in this world. If I agree, even if it's just to pretend in front of Hong Feifei's dad, sooner or later, my girlfriend will find out," Suming quickly gestured for her to stop.
The issue ca to an impasse.
Suming drained the cup of tea in one gulp, stood up, and said, "Mr. Ding, if there's nothing else, I should be going. As I said, you two dating at my place is fine, anything more than that, I'm helpless. If it really cos to it, you both might as well emigrate. Sa-sex marriage is legal in the United States, I believe."
After saying that, he strode toward the exit of Whisperwind Pavilion.
"Your idea is worse than having Nangong Huang pretend..." Ding Jing muttered.
...
"Brother-in-law, they didn't do anything to you, did they?" Nangong Huang had been waiting at the door for a long ti. Seeing Suming co out, he stepped up and asked with concern.
"What can I do, with such little ti and two people on the other side? You're underestimating your brother-in-law here!" Suming said.
"Hehehe! Brother-in-law, you're really shaless, and you've led astray," Nangong Huang grinned, peeking into Whisperwind Pavilion, "When's dinner starting?"
Suming wrapped his arm around Nangong Huang's neck and dragged him toward the zoo exit. "Looks like you won't be able to eat, let's go, call your sister, and take you guys out to a restaurant in the city."
"What's so good about eating out? It's only Tony, that silly foreigner who always chooses big restaurants for dining. Don't we have Hong Feifei..." Nangong Huang muttered discontentedly.
...
After Suming left, Hong Feifei walked out of the kitchen. Ding Jing glanced at her and nodded toward the seat opposite.
"I told you he wouldn't agree," Hong Feifei said as she ca over to sit down side by side.
She had hidden in the kitchen while her lifeti affair was being discussed upfront; how could she focus on cooking? She had been eavesdropping the whole ti.
"You think you're so clever. Hmph, I didn't expect him to be a man of such firm will!" Ding Jing turned her head, seeming a little jealous as she humd, "You seem to understand him quite well."
"What are you talking about? I've just seen him with his girlfriend, and that feeling... it's hard to explain, but if you'd seen it a few tis, you'd understand," Hong Feifei said.
"Eh? Little lady, have you actually fallen for him?" Ding Jing slowly turned her head, squinting her phoenix eyes and scrutinizing Hong Feifei carefully.
Hong Feifei's face turned alternately pale and red with urgency, saying, "If you talk nonsense again, I won't speak to you for a whole week!"
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Ding Jing let out a laugh and quickly pinched Hong Feifei's cheek.
"Humph! Annoying to death!" Hong Feifei rubbed her cheek, anxiously asking, "But what should we do now?"
Ding Jing didn't say what to do but instead let out a deep sigh. "Feifei, you're not getting any younger. If you really can still like n and have taken a liking to soone, you must tell . I would bless you."
"If you spout nonsense again, I really won't et you next ti. Why are you like this!" Hong Feifei suddenly stood up, stomping her foot in anger, pointing to Shuijun Lake in front of her, "I'm dying of anxiety, and you're still deliberately upsetting ! Do you believe I'll jump in here?"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease little Feifei anymore." Ding Jing also stood up, wrapping her arms from behind around Hong Feifei's waist. Hong Feifei pouted and humd, struggling a bit without breaking free, and eventually let Ding Jing be, her expression gradually softening.
The two stood by the lake, facing the water, embraced in the sunset, enjoying this rare mont of tranquility.
"Doesn't this look like a farewell scene from a movie?" Hong Feifei said sentintally.
"Silly girl!" Ding Jing gently bit Hong Feifei's earlobe, then whispered into her ear, "If you really haven't fallen for him, I do have an idea. I'm just afraid you won't be willing to go through with it."
"What's the idea? As long as I can be with you, what could I possibly not be willing to give up?!"
After Hong Feifei finished speaking, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that she's suggesting I really go **** Suming?
How can this be possible?!
