"Then why do you disagree if I'm so good?" Xiao Jingwen asked, her eyes red.
"Agree to what?" Yang Feilong dodged the question, his gaze unfocused. He pulled out his phone and checked the time. "Ah, it's getting late, I need to go back!"
"Stop right there!" Xiao Jingwen exclaimed.
"What's up with that..." Yang Feilong glanced at Xiao Jingwen. The young girl had genuinely cared for him before, but now, in her anger, she was like a little tiger. No wonder she was called the Little Demoness.
"Do you hate me that much?" Xiao Jingwen looked at Yang Feilong, on the verge of tears.
"I don't hate you!" Yang Feilong said helplessly.
"If you don't hate me, why didn't you ask if I wanted to be your girlfriend after I said all that? Do I have to explicitly confess to you?" Xiao Jingwen looked boldly at Yang Feilong, her Little Demoness nature fully revealed. Most girls would be at least a little reserved, but she was different; she was bold, staring directly into Yang Feilong's eyes, as if she wouldn't let him off the hook until he answered.
"..." Yang Feilong gave a wry smile. She had made her intentions clear; what else could he do? Would it be appropriate to keep playing dumb?
"Jingwen, you're a good girl!" Yang Feilong sighed.
"You know I'm a good girl, so why don't you want to be my boyfriend? Is there something wrong with me? If you tell me, I'm willing to change!" Xiao Jingwen didn't seem to understand Yang Feilong's platitude, or perhaps she understood but pretended not to.
"Love can't be forced," Yang Feilong said helplessly.
"Is it because you already have a girlfriend that you won't accept me?" Xiao Jingwen suddenly asked.
Yang Feilong thought for a moment. A pampered princess from such a prominent family would surely have no tolerance for scumbags. He nodded. "You're right, I have a girlfriend, and in fact, several. I'm a scumbag, so..."
"Hehe, so you were worried I wouldn't accept this? Don't worry, I don't mind," Xiao Jingwen said, suddenly beaming with joy.
"Nani?" Yang Feilong was stunned. Why was this so different from what he expected?
I'm a scumbag, aren't you afraid?
"What's this? My father has several wives too," Xiao Jingwen said happily, like a child. "It's perfectly normal for an outstanding man to have multiple wives. You're so outstanding, I wouldn't want you to have only me. Otherwise, you'd get tired of me sooner or later. If you have several wives, you can spend time with each one and maintain a sense of novelty."
"This..." Yang Feilong's mind was in chaos. He felt he needed some time to sort things out and realized his plan to refuse her had gone terribly wrong.
"No need to 'this' or 'that'. By the way, although I'm willing to be your wife and don't mind, I do have one request. I hope you can consider it," Xiao Jingwen said, looking cautiously at Yang Feilong as she made her request.
"What request?" Yang Feilong asked instinctively. After asking, he wanted to slap himself. Wasn't he trying to get Xiao Jingwen to give up the idea of being with him? Why did he follow her lead and ask? She probably thought he had agreed! Thinking of this, his heart became even more flustered.
He felt like his head was a tangled mess!
"I want to be your main wife. What do you think?" Xiao Jingwen asked tentatively.
"Be my main wife?" Yang Feilong couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "You're dreaming."
I was still trying to make you abandon the idea of being with me, and here you are, trying to become my main wife.
"Okay, if you don't agree, you don't agree. Why are you scolding me?" Xiao Jingwen pouted, but then quickly asked again, "Um, can you give me a little more love? Just a little bit?"
As she said this, she gestured with her hand, looking both cute and adorable, leaving Yang Feilong in a state of mingled amusement and despair.
"Do you really want to be my girlfriend?" Yang Feilong sighed. With things having gone this far, it seemed inappropriate to reject her outright. However, he and Xiao Jingwen had never had any romantic feelings for each other before. At least, he had always treated her like a mischievous younger sister, and he had always thought she merely admired him. Who would have thought she would suddenly want to be his girlfriend, and even contend for the position of his main wife?
Now, he was annoyed with Xiao Jinglei. If that guy hadn't suddenly done what he did, perhaps Xiao Jingwen wouldn't have taken the opportunity to confess to him, and he wouldn't be in such a difficult position now!
Thinking of Xiao Jinglei, he secretly cursed. He should have beaten him more severely, at least to the point of disfigurement, so he couldn't even speak properly, preventing him from causing such a huge mess!
Yes, he felt it was a mess.
"I really do! I dream of being Fly Dragon Brother's girlfriend!" Xiao Jingwen nodded her head repeatedly at Yang Feilong's question, looking like an adorable little squirrel.
"Then how about this, we'll just see how it goes for now," Yang Feilong said after thinking for a moment. "If you feel it's not right someday, we'll break up, okay?"
"I won't break up with Fly Dragon Brother. I'm your girlfriend now, and I'll be your wife in the future too," Xiao Jingwen said righteously, vowing, "My heart for Fly Dragon Brother is as clear as the heavens. If there's even half a lie, may I die a terrible death!"
Yang Feilong was completely bewildered: "..."
He had seen men swear oaths when expressing their true feelings to women, but a woman swearing an oath to a man like this caught him completely off guard.
Yang Feilong opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
This is truly a calamity!
I was just making a hypothetical scenario, intending to plant a seed in Xiao Jingwen's mind, and then use that opportunity to distance myself from her for a while. Gradually, her feelings for me would fade, and she would realize she only admired me, not loved me. Then we could break up naturally.
But why did she make such a solemn oath?
She wasn't a cultivator, so the oath itself might not have much impact, but her seriousness made Yang Feilong a little scared. If he were to proactively propose breaking up, Yang Feilong feared she would rally her twenty-something brothers, her father, her uncles, and her entire family to come after him.
Yang Feilong felt a headache coming on.
"Fly Dragon Brother, you suddenly have such a super beautiful and cute girlfriend. Are you happy? Are you surprised?" Xiao Jingwen asked Yang Feilong with a giggle.
"Happy, surprised!" Yang Feilong said word by word, putting on a smile that was more like a grimace.
Being a man is so difficult. Why am I always so helpless? Just as one wave of trouble from a sister figure subsides, another immediately arises!
"Why are you smiling so reluctantly?" Xiao Jingwen pouted, wrinkling her adorable little nose.
"I'm too happy, to the point that I don't know what expression to use to convey my feelings," Yang Feilong said with a forced smile.
"Ah... is that so?" Xiao Jingwen blinked her beautiful eyes, her cherry lips slightly parted, looking a bit stunned. Why did that explanation sound so strange?
