"Hello, do you really not recognize me?" Su Xinya was pretty sure now that Hao Jian wasn't playing hard to get, she realized he genuinely didn't recognize her.
Alas, was this guy a caveman or what? How could he not even recognize her?
"Should I recognize you?" Hao Jian asked in wonder.
"Don't you watch TV at all?" Su Xinya asked in surprise.
"No," Hao Jian shook his head, acknowledging that he really didn't have the habit of watching television.
"What about surfing the internet?"
Su Xinya was utterly speechless, "Then what do you do for fun in your daily life?"
"Chasing girls, chasing girls, chasing girls," Hao Jian responded expressionlessly.
A vein throbbed in Su Xinya's forehead as she forced herself to keep calm, "That's a rather interesting hobby you have."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Hao Jian asked, losing his patience. This woman clearly had something up her sleeve.
"Actually, I'm a singer, and I would like to invite you to my concert," Su Xinya finally got to the point.
"So you're a big star," Hao Jian finally grasped the hidden meaning in Su Xinya's words.
"Yeah," Su Xinya nodded with a grin.
"But I still won't go, I don't like listening to music," Hao Jian flatly refused.
Su Xinya's face fell, "Give it some thought, I sing pretty well."
"No need to think about it," Hao Jian's head shook like a rattle drum. He wasn't a fan of celebrities, so why would he go to a concert?
Now Su Xinya was getting angry, "Is there nothing in your brain besides women?"
"There is, there's also money," Hao Jian replied honestly.
Su Xinya was utterly defeated by Hao Jian's shamelessness, "Then I'll pay you to attend my concert, just name your price."
"Sigh," Hao Jian was rendered speechless. How could this woman be so thick-skinned? He had made it so clear, how could she not understand?
There was no other way, he had to use his last resort!
"Look! A UFO!" Hao Jian's face twisted as he furiously pointed behind Su Xinya.
"A UFO?" Su Xinya turned around to look, only to find nothing behind her. "Where's the UFO? Ah! Bastard!"
Stomping her foot in anger, Su Xinya turned around to see Hao Jian had run off—he had played her!
"Just you wait! As long as you're still in Hua City, I will definitely track you down!" Su Xinya fumed, clacking away in her high heels.
Lately, Hao Jian showed the video he had recorded on his phone to Shu Ya, but she only glanced at it indifferently and had no reaction.
"That's it?" Hao Jian was stunned, Shu Ya's reaction was way too calm.
"What else did you expect?" Shu Ya sulked.
"Aren't you angry or sad?" Hao Jian was puzzled, was this woman emotionally numb all of a sudden?
"Sad?" Shu Ya chuckled and shook her head, "I figured out long ago that they were behind this, so what's there to be sad about?"
From the moment she understood things, she knew that if you could control your emotions, you would be unstoppable, but if they controlled you, you would struggle every step of the way.
Hao Jian looked at her, unable to utter a word, his whole face turning to a shade of iron blue.
Seeing him made Shu Ya laugh. "You don't need to pity me; I don't need your sympathy," she said.
"It's not that, I just want to fart, but I was afraid you would scold me, so I've been holding it in. Now that I started talking, I can't hold it anymore," Hao Jian said with a dry laugh.
Then, Shu Ya smelled an odor of rotten eggs and quickly covered her nose as she rushed into the room, "Ah! Hao Jian, you jerk!"
"Hahahaha," Hao Jian's mischievous laughter echoed throughout the living room.
"Shu Ya, get me a glass of water."
"Shu Ya, bring me some fruit."
"Shu Ya, it's a bit windy outside, help me close the window."
For the next few days, Hao Jian acted like a demanding lord, treating Shu Ya as if she were a servant.
"Hao Jian, aren't you going a bit far? Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?" Shu Ya also got angry. She was always the one giving orders, who dared to order her around?
"What's wrong?" Hao Jian pretended to be clueless.
"What's wrong? You tell me what's wrong. These past days, you've been bossing me around, waking me up before dawn to serve you and not letting me sleep if you're still awake. Am I your maid or something?" Shu Ya complained bitterly.
"How can you say that? I am a patient, you know. Have you not considered that I got injured because of you?" Hao Jian heaved a heavy sigh, giving her a "I'm so disappointed in you" look.
"Doctors said I need to rehabilitate my hand and can't do any heavy lifting, but even so, there's a fifty percent chance my hand could be disfigured. If we get divorced, you could walk away without any worries, but I would become disabled. And now you treat me , even thinking about it makes me feel so pitiful," Hao Jian pretended to wipe a tearless corner of his eye.
His words made Shu Ya feel a twinge of guilt. She hastily said, "It won't be like that. Even if we... if we get divorced later, and if you really do become disabled, I will still take care of you, I promise!"
"Really?" Hao Jian looked at Shu Ya, touched.
"Of course, I promise!" Shu Ya nodded resolutely. If Hao Jian became disabled, she would take care of him for life.
"Well then, Shu Ya, help me bathe and change," Hao Jian stretched out his hand as if signaling that it was okay for the eunuch to come and help him.
"You want me to help you bathe?" Shu Ya was shocked.
"Yes. How else am I supposed to bathe looking ? Didn't you see that one of my arms is useless?" Hao Jian maliciously enjoyed teasing Shu Ya a bit.
"Don't you still have another arm?" Shu Ya said with a crimson face, the thought of bathing Hao Jian making her shy.
"Sorry, I'm a lefty," Hao Jian explained, implying he could only undress with his disabled left hand.
"You're lying! You always use your right hand when you eat!" Shu Ya countered. If Hao Jian was truly left-handed, he should also be using his left hand to eat.
"Forget it, I knew you wouldn't agree, so I guess I'll just become disabled," Seeing Shu Ya catching on to his plot, Hao Jian simply started acting uncooperative.
