Chapter 171: Can I Do It Again?
Lu Jingren saw the look on Lilian Mo's face and thought that she was quite unhappy to be rejected so he took the time to try and explain since he didn't want to be on bad terms with her.
Grandma and Grandpa liked her a lot so Lu Jingren wanted to be on peaceful terms with her.
"Ah, Lilian... I don't have a specific type... But, I think... I prefer kind and gentle girls... who aren't violent or scary."
"Are you tring to say that I'm violent and scary?"
"..."
He didn't answer.
Which means...
It was completely true.
Lilian Mo inhaled deeply. This man who had imprisoned her and made her into his little lover in her previous life was suddenly telling her that she was not his type and that her, being a minor was obviously an issue.
What. The. Hell.
Lu. Jing. Ren.
"That wasn't an issue with you before." Lilian Mo said in a cold manner.
Lu Jingren frowned, his expression clearly telling her, 'I don't understand.'
Lilian Mo began to pace around. This was a piece of shocking news and it would no doubt take a while before she could calm down.
Was she offended? Incredibly so.
Her first love just told her he wasn't her type and they have been more intimate than any other couple out there. She even thought that staying at the mansion all day long, cooking and waiting for him to come home was similar to the life of a housewife.
The others even joked that they were like a married little couple which caused her a lot of discomfort and embarrassment.
And yet, and yet, she was actually not his type! Even if these were events that had happen to her in her previous life, and not in this life, she couldn't help but feel her whole body warming up from head to toe as all those memories flashed before her very eyes.
For a while, Lu Jingren watched apprehensively as Lilian Mo's face darkened and made a lot of fearsome expressions.
As expected, women are scary, Lu Jingren thought as he cautiously took a step backward to ensure his safety.
Finally, after a minute or two, Lilian Mo calmed down.
'Men are a kind of species that I would never understand,' was what she told herself.
She calmly looked at Lu Jingren and slowly approached him. She raised her hand to touch his cheek, gently caressing them.
Lu Jingren's dilated as he saw this. The quick change in her expression wasn't unnoticed by him but his body actually gave a different kind of reaction.
He unconsciously leaned towards her hand, to the warmth emitting from her palms, feeling that this kind of gentle treatment was not bad.
Lilian Mo smiled.
"Jingren, I also want to tell you that you are not my type."
"..."
"...I understand." He said after a moment of silence.
Lilian Mo caressed his cheek once more and smiled sweetly, her fingertips touching the surface of his skin.
Then she punched him.
Lu Jingren landed on the ground with a thud while Lilian Mo, on the other hand, felt relieved.
'That felt really nice,' Lilian Mo thought victoriously.
Looking at the sorry state of this man's handsome face which was starting to bruise, she actually wanted to do it again, this time, on the other side to make it look even.
Lu Jingren held his cheek. He slowly looked at her as if she was mental.
"Jingren..." Lilian Mo said in a soft tone while still smiling sweetly. Her fair face coupled with the happy look on her eyes was quite intimidating.
"It felt good. Can I do it again?"
"..."
Lu Jingren wasn't sure what to say to that. This was the first time a woman had punched him in the face while saying it felt good and asking him quite nicely if they could do a repeat of it. Moreover, the same woman was actually acting in a sweet and coy manner while approaching him with her hand clenched into a fist.
Just a while ago, she was pacing around, looking ready to kill someone. And so suddenly, she turned into that sweet girl from his dream.
The only difference was that she was asking permission to become violent with him while using such a cute expression to make him lower his guard.
Lu Jingren didn't understand. Was this a new style of flirting? A new battle tactic?
Are all women like this?
This was...
'Truly scary,' he thought.
His usually calm face was not so calm after this.
While Lilian Mo was smiling with a satisfied look on her face, Lu Jingren was actually very tensed.
The air between seemed to have become a little different.
