Chapter 73.2: The Two of You Are Compatible (2)
These thoughts flashed across Ji Fanyin’s mind in a matter of moments. She soon offered her response to Li Xiaoxing, “Did she reject you directly?”
“… She didn’t accept the proposal,” Li Xiaoxing slowly replied. “What should I do?”
Faced with Li Xiaoxing’s seemingly calm but desperate question, Ji Fanyin chuckled softly, “You don’t need to do anything at all.”
“You’re saying that I should give up?”
“It isn’t giving up. You have sowed the seeds and applied the fertilizer. All you have to do now is wait for the harvest.”
“… Ji Fanyin, if an irreparable crack were to appear in my relationship with Xinxin over this matter, you’ll regret every cent you took from me.”
Li Xiaoxing’s threat hardly registered with Ji Fanyin at all. “It’s getting late. You should be heading to sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow morning. The hurdle you’re facing is commonly known as gamophobia. Ji Xinxin has a strong mind. She’ll come around by tomorrow.”
At this point, she paused for a moment before gently adding, “Trust me, Mr. Li.”
It could be due to the authority and credibility Ji Fanyin had built up with Li Xiaoxing over the course of their lessons, but Li Xiaoxing actually chose not to say anything at all. He silently hung up the phone, choosing not to resort to a second threat.
But again, the threat would have felt cheap if he had to do it twice.
Ji Fanyin stuffed another strawberry into her mouth as she searched for Ji Xinxin’s number and called it.
The phone rang for a very long time, but Ji Xinxin wasn’t picking up.
Ji Fanyin gobbled down another plump strawberry as she waited for the call to automatically hang up. She then calmly placed her phone down on the table, not bothering to drop a second call.
There was no need to. Ji Xinxin would surely call her back.
Just think about it. How could Ji Xinxin possibly sleep when she just found out that her mortal nemesis had uncovered her greatest trump card two hours ago? She must be worried out of her mind right now!
There was no doubt she was awake at this very moment. She was likely racking her brains in search of a way out of this disaster.
Ji Xinxin couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye to it when her mortal nemesis called at a time like this.
Ji Fanyin leisurely picked up her remote control and continued playing ‘Greatness of Love’.
Just as she had expected, her phone started ringing around seven minutes later.
She didn’t play the ‘I’m not going to pick up your call since you didn’t pick up mine’ game with Ji Xinxin this time around. With her body firmly glued to the sofa, she grabbed her phone from the table and accepted the call. “Are the lights at Tokyo Tower beautiful?”
“… Why didn’t you tell him?” asked Ji Xinxin with a heavy tone. “All of the things I’m enjoying could have been yours if you revealed the truth to him.”
“Why would I do that?” Ji Fanyin returned the question to her. “To be frank, I’m more curious about why you shied away from grabbing the trophy when it’s already sitting right in front of you.”
“… Are you mocking me?”
“No, I just think that the two of you are compatible,” Ji Fanyin replied earnestly.
Had Ji Xinxin chosen to get together with any of her other fishes, there was a good chance that she might reveal to Li Xiaoxing that she was an impersonator. If so, Li Xiaoxing might just turn his attention to harassing her.
That would have been a huge bother to Ji Fanyin.
That was why she strongly felt that the two of them should get together. Li Xiaoxing was an extremely possessive man whereas Ji Xinxin felt a strong compulsion to garner the affection of those around her. The two of them would grate on each other and slowly wear themselves thin.
As for when to reveal the truth… the initiative was all in Ji Fanyin’s grasp. She could choose to do it whenever she wanted to.
Wasn’t this the best-case scenario?
Of course, there was the chance that Ji Xinxin might refuse to cooperate with her. Ji Fanyin had already anticipated such a possibility, and she had even prepared a hand just for that.
