She was embarrassed and apologized to Wang Jiasi. He was speechless but he didn't blame her.
After that, they arrived at their destination.
They went in a restaurant and a manager came out and greeted them. He escorted the two of them to the table booked.
"What do you want to eat? It's on me."
Ye Ruyi looked at the menu and was shocked by the prices. So expensive. Then, she decided to pick the cheapest thing on the menu.
Wang Jiasi heard she ordered something that normally not much people would eat. Escargot. Wang Jiasi then ordered two set of meals.
He thought maybe she didn't know what escargot was and order the same set of meal he's having.
After ordering, it's time for the 'discussion'.
"Sir, I--"
"Call my name. We're not in working hours."
"Fine. Wang Jiasi. Are you serious that you want a relationship with me?"
"Of course, I'm serious."
Ye Ruyi raised one of her eyebrows doubting his words. He's been acting like a pervert and sometimes weird to her.
Was that him being serious?
"Then, let me ask you. You said you give some time to think. But a few days later, you behavior like a shameless jerk. First, you were absent-minded and sometimes forgot what I reported to you about. Second, you suddenly behave like a domineering boss and ordered me to sit on your lap causing the rumors to spread about us. And third, you sent me flowers and one sentence you said was 'Be careful, I can't control myself in front of you'. Are you implying that you are going to do something to me if you couldn't control yourself? And lastly, I'm not sure what you actually want? Your actions are making me confused. Did you get what I'm trying to say?"
Wang Jiasi was stunned and waited patiently for her to finish her talk. From her tone alone, he could tell that she was frustrated.
"I'm sorry. Like I said, I can't control myself. My heart beat everytime I see you. Your presence alone can make me go daydreaming about you. I fall in love with you too deeply."
Wang Jiasi looked earnestly into her eyes. He wanted to let her know he's serious about her.
Ye Ruyi didn't know how to respond. All he did was confeesing to her with every chances he got.
She was kind of happy that someone like her but she didn't have that kind of feelings towards Wang Jiasi.
"I'm sorry. But I don't have feelings for you."
"I'll try to work hard to make you fall for me. Give me a chance."
"How? How to give you a chance? Will you order me to do something uncomfortable again?"
Wang Jiasi deserved it. She doubting his love because of his action. Mo Zhexi was right. Her impression of him had dropped.
"I like to propose something. Let's have a trial run on being a boyfriend and girlfriend."
Wang Jiasi was betting on this method that he learned from Mo Zhexi. He succeeded in getting a girlfriend by just trying. If Mo Zhexi succeeded, he would succeed too.
"A trial?"
"Yes, we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend temporarily. If you still haven't fall in love with me for the next half a year. I will give up. How's that?"
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then, you'll see me acting like a shameless jerk you mentioned. Don't worry, the proposal was not bad. If you agree, everytime we date, I'll be the one paying. You just need go enjoy the privilege I give you. I'll also be more serious at work and won't trouble you with unnecessary things."
Ye Ruyi's face was darkened and was reluctant to agree but upon hearing him will act like a jerk, more precisely, a warning, she agreed.
"Fine. I agree."
