Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 558: Confessing again, Lu Xixiao was anxious: "Starting tomorrow, I will let Jing Yuan

Wen Li looked at the two things in front of him, then looked up at Lu Xixiao, thought for a moment, and said, "Forget it. I'm not a businessman. S Continent is a good place to make money. It will be more valuable in your hands."

Lu Xixiao: "My staff, including myself, can be used by you. I will explore and manage the ways to make money in S Continent for you. You just need to be a hands-off boss and wait for the money to come in."

Wen Li: "Work for me for free?"

Lu Xixiao smiled and said, "If you offer me a salary, I won't refuse it."

The chairman of Lu Corporation works for her?

Wen Li: "It's too much of a bargain, I feel uneasy."

Lu Xixiao: "I am only responsible for making money. You are the one who is in charge of the riotous area in Continent S. Paying me a salary creates an employment relationship. I work for money, so how can you take advantage of me?"

He spoke very clearly, but Wen Li remained silent.

Lu Xixiao: "Then, is a cooperative relationship okay?"

Wen Li was slightly moved, but still didn't want to accept it.

"I prepared this gift last year, but I didn't get the chance to give it to you until this year. Now that I've finally given it to you, please consider it as a way to save my face and my mood, okay? Li Li, at least accept it first. The contract has no statute of limitations, so you don't have to rush to sign it." He was sincere and almost begged Wen Li to accept it. "I've actually been brooding over the matter of S Continent."

Wen Li didn't understand: "What are you brooding about?"

Lu Xixiao: "I stole yours."

Wen Li: "It's a fair auction, whoever wins gets it."

Although she was indeed feeling unhappy at the time.

Lu Xixiao: "Didn't I fall in love with you later?"

Wen Li: “…”

Talking about gifts and things about S Continent, now we're talking about something else...

Seeing that she didn't seem to know how to respond, Lu Xixiao suppressed his laughter.

Wen Li ignored his words and expressed his concerns: "If we manage S Continent together and there are any personal conflicts in the future, it will be difficult to sort out and none of us can withdraw."

Interests are difficult to separate, and once conflicts arise, some things are likely to deteriorate. Although she and Lu Xixiao are not stingy people, and are less likely to make the relationship and situation too ugly, who can predict what will happen in the future?

Lu Xixiao assured with absolute certainty, almost without a second thought: "There will be no personal conflicts between us. At least, I will never have any unilateral conflicts with you. I will be a qualified employee or a trustworthy partner. If it is a collaboration, I can immediately draft a new contract. Whether it is employment or collaboration, you have the final say in everything in S Continent."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Unless you have some hidden identity that I don't know about and there's still some grudge between us. But don't worry, no matter what it is, I won't have any resentment or revenge against you. Besides, no matter how big the grudge is, it can't outweigh that shot from Nanyang."

There couldn't be any deeper grudge between them than this. If such a deep hatred could be resolved, what else was there to worry about?

Wen Li: "No."

Lu Xixiao: "Then, can you accept it?"

He had said so much, and it would be a bit disappointing and unworldly for me to refuse. Although Lu Xixiao was thick-skinned, he was bound to feel lonely and uncomfortable, so the understanding Wen Li finally accepted it, but just accepted it.

"I'll think it over before signing," she said.

A look of joy appeared in Lu Xixiao's eyes: "Okay."

Wen Li took it.

Lu Xixiao turned around and took out a small square box from his bag, opened it, and picked up the bouquet of flowers.

When Wen Li saw this, she had a vague premonition in her heart, and suddenly she had some thoughts of escaping. Fortunately, the thoughts were not strong, so she did not hide.

Lu Xixiao lowered his eyes to glance at the contents of the small square box, a twisted white jade bracelet from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and said, "This bracelet was left to me by my mother. I had someone send it over from home a few days ago. My mother left me many things, and I always thought this would be the one I needed the least. I never thought that one day it would come in handy."

He held a flower in one hand and a bracelet in the other, his dark eyes fixed on Wen Li. He said, "Li Li, last time in Jinzhou, it was too sudden and we were unprepared. I didn't know your identity at the time, and you had some reservations and concerns. Now that the conflict has been resolved, I want to formally confess my feelings to you again. Li Li, I like you and want to be with you."

He was serious.

Wen Li's lips moved slightly, as if she was about to answer him immediately, but she stopped after meeting Lu Xixiao's eyes.

The air was quiet for a moment.

Lu Xixiao waited nervously for Wen Li's reply.

Wen Li's gaze moved downwards and fell on the bouquet of flowers, but from the look in her eyes, it could be seen that she was not looking at the flowers, but thinking about how to answer this question.

There are unusually many micro-expressions on her face.

Wen Li remained silent for a long time. Lu Xixiao couldn't help but call her softly, "Li Li?"

Wen Li finally spoke: "...No."

She turned her eyes away from the flowers and glanced at the sofa.

Lu Xixiao didn't care about being sad. He lowered his head slightly and asked her softly: "Can you give me a reason?"

Lu Xixiao looked at her lips and pursed them twice, without saying a word.

She didn't know whether to say it or not or not to say it.

Lu Xixiao tried to find the reason himself: "Is it because the hatred between Heishui and Nanyang has not been completely resolved in your heart?"

Wen Li rejected it outright: "No."

Lu Xixiao continued to look for the reason: "Is it because you feel that you are young and don't want to consider the matter of love?"

Wen Li thought for a moment and said, "...a little bit."

This is not the main reason for rejection.

Lu Xixiao: "Do you think that we are not yet at the stage where we can establish a relationship?"

Wen Li: “A little bit.”

A little bit, a little bit, it adds up to quite a lot.

There should be more.

Lu Xixiao thought about it and finally faced the reason he least had the courage to ask: "Is it, because of my age?"

The intensity in his eyes replaced all other emotions.

Obviously, this was the most serious problem in Lu Xixiao's mind, bar none. This was not only true, but also because Wen Li had rejected him last time because of his age, although he later learned the truth and realized that Wen Li had only said that to reject him.

But the fact that Wen Li could find such a reason showed that she actually still cared about the age issue to some extent, and Lu Xixiao, who was inferior because of his age, also cared a lot about it.

Wen Li: "No."

Lu Xixiao's tense expression relaxed a lot in an instant.

It’s okay as long as it’s not a problem of age that cannot be changed.

Lu Xixiao: "Why is that?"

Wen Li puffed up her cheeks slightly and fell speechless again.

This made Lu Xixiao, who had always been patient with her, feel a little annoyed and anxious. He frowned unconsciously: "Li Li, can you tell me? If there is something wrong with me, I will definitely change it. If there is any other reason, no matter how big the obstacle is, I will find a way to solve it."

Wen Li: “…”

Lu Xixiao lowered his head again: "Li Li? You have to let me know if it's my problem or something else, right?"

Under Lu Xixiao's anxious questioning, Wen Li finally revealed the reason for rejecting him: "...It's a bit embarrassing."

"Embarrassing?" Lu Xixiao was a little confused. This was something he had never expected. He was very puzzled: "Embarrassing what?"

He thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Do you feel embarrassed about dating a man and a woman, or do you feel embarrassed about dating me?"

There are.

But how could Wen Li admit that she felt a little embarrassed about falling in love? It would make her seem a little bit different.

So Wen Li blamed all the blame on the latter.

"you."

She pushed it away with a clear conscience, which made Lu Xixiao dumbfounded.

"You said that you feel embarrassed to be in a relationship with me?" Lu Xixiao confirmed to her in disbelief and inability to accept.

Wen Li rolled his eyes slightly: "Yeah."

Lu Xixiao felt like the sky was falling: "That's because of my age."

Wen Li: "No."

Lu Xixiao racked his brains, looking at the problem from a slightly different angle, and then thought of another possibility: "Could it be because of my generation? Because Jing Yuan calls me little grandpa? And calls you sister? Does it make you feel that there is a generation gap? Do you think there is a generation gap between us? Do you really think of me as Jing Yuan's grandfather?"

Wen Li wanted to say that it wasn’t the case.

But it's neither this nor that. Wen Li himself even felt that he was a bit annoying and pretentious.

Seeing that Wen Li hadn't refuted him yet, Lu Xixiao got a little impatient and raised his voice a bit: "If that's the reason, can I let Jing Yuan call me brother starting tomorrow?"

Since we are of the same generation, there shouldn't be any more discomfort, right?

Wen Li closed his eyes.

Then he said: "... too familiar."

Lu Xixiao: "Too familiar?"

I finally got to know her, but she said we were too familiar with each other?

What's the reason?

This time it was Lu Xixiao's turn to be speechless.

Lu Xixiao felt that this question was not a good one.

So he put the flowers down, freed his hand, gently grasped Wen Li's fair wrist, and asked softly, "Li Li, tell me, do you like me even a little bit?"

Without waiting for Wen Li to answer, Lu Xixiao, in order to make her answer seriously and tell the truth, said as if blocking her way out: "I can feel that you have feelings for me, at least you feel differently towards me."

Wen Li: “…”

Lu Xixiao: "Look at me and answer this question, okay?"

Wen Li raised her head to look at him, then looked away: "Anyway, I don't mind."

Lu Xixiao said with joy: "That means I like you."

Wen Li: "Is this what your Chinese teacher taught you?"

Lu Xixiao said shamelessly: "Yes."

Wen Li: “…”

After a moment, Lu Xixiao said with a smile: "You didn't refute it."

Wen Liwei, who was speechless at his scoundrel, was taken aback and said without giving him face: "I forgot."

Lu Xixiao looked at Wen Li, who acted awkwardly the whole time and was even unwilling to face him. He was a little surprised that Wen Li, who was always straightforward and decisive, was always restrained and hesitant in his feelings. There was a huge contrast, just like being drunk and not drinking.

It didn't seem like she didn't agree easily because she was too cautious about relationships, because if that was the reason, she could have just said it directly.

Recalling the past, he found that only when facing emotional matters would Wen Li show reactions that were appropriate for her age.

A totally little girl's reaction.

She's even worse at handling it than the average little girl.

It can't be said that she doesn't know how to handle it. She rejected Cheng Hao by kicking him, and her words were as if filled with poison, without any ambiguity.

When He Chong said he wanted to pursue her, Wen Li had a similar reaction, saying that if she was not afraid of death, then come, and she almost rolled her eyes at He Chong.

If it was Qi Yu... Lu Xixiao didn't know where his confidence came from. He was sure that Wen Li would treat him equally without hesitation.

As long as she doesn't like it, she will cut the Gordian knot.

Taking all the above into consideration, the only thing she won't deal with is his feelings.

That's why she said it was awkward to date him.

Lu Xixiao didn't feel embarrassed.

She is just too thin-skinned and shy.

She just liked him.

Lu Xixiao said sincerely, "Li Li, let's try some contact, okay? Let's slowly build up our relationship. If you feel any discomfort during the contact, you can stop at any time."

Wen Li glanced at him.

He had the experience to block her retreat first and said, "You have feelings for me. If you are unwilling to even try to contact me, I will think you are doing it on purpose and are saying one thing and thinking another."

Wen Li: “…”

Lu Xixiao felt that it would be too difficult to get the shy Wen Li to say yes or nod, so he cunningly allowed Wen Li to remain silent. She didn't have to answer or refuse either. He said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Wen Li: “…”

This trick is very useful.

She neither agreed nor refused, and Lu Xixiao naturally acquiesced to the result that was most beneficial to him. He handed the bracelet in his hand to Wen Li and said, "This bracelet is a confession gift. Can you accept it?"

Wen Li: "No."

This is obviously left by his mother for his future daughter-in-law.

Was it simply that he couldn't accept the gift? Or that he also couldn't agree to contact him? Lu Xixiao naturally acquiesced to the former. He didn't argue too much, and didn't embarrass Wen Li. Instead, he politely put the gift away, put it in his coat pocket, and then took out another small square box from the gift bag and opened it.

"Can you accept this? This is not something my mother left me. I bought it myself. I considered that this bracelet has a lot of meaning and I was afraid that it would be difficult for you to accept it, so I prepared another one." This time, he was fully prepared.

Wen Li looked over and saw it was a bracelet.

This design looks a little familiar, and then I look at the logo on the box.

Wen Li: "This seems to be my work, right?"

Lu Xixiao: "Well, this is the first piece in your bracelet series. I bought it from a collector."

This bracelet must have some different meaning to Wen Li.

Wen Li said, "Lu Jingyuan also gave me a bracelet."

She took the time to look at it after returning to her room.

Wen Li definitely didn't mean to spoil Lu Xixiao's fun, but he really didn't know what to say.

Lu Xixiao: "Really?"

I didn't expect this could happen.

"Jing Yuan must be like me, still remembering the bracelet that Jiang Yingbai auctioned off on the cruise ship."

Both the grandfather and grandson wanted to take a picture and give it to Wen Li.

But there was no way to compete with Jiang Yingbai.

Lu Xixiao, who was accumulating more and more experience, did not ask Wen Li if he could accept it this time. Instead, he directly picked up the bracelet and wanted to put it on her.

I don’t know whether Wen Li was conflicted or not, but she didn’t refuse in the end.

Lu Xixiao looked calm on the outside, but his heart was in turmoil.

She accepted it, which meant she agreed to contact her.

It's already a very good result.

After putting the bracelet on Wen Li, Lu Xixiao, who had been bending over with his head down, almost put his forehead against Wen Li's and said, "Li Li, can I kiss you?"

He climbed up the pole.

Wen Li raised his face with a swish.
