The countenance of Fang Yuqing underwent a subtle change.
After all, she couldn't help but be aware of her past actions.
But how could the little fairy feel any embarrassment?
Especially when facing the spare tire who seemed to beg for her favor in her eyes.
Even though Zhang Yijia's attitude towards her remained cool, Fang Yuqing believed he was merely employing a strategy of feigned indifference.
She steadfastly held the conviction that Zhang Yijia admired her. With a bit more effort on her part, she was confident she could win him over.
Thus, she playfully coaxed, "Everything I did in the past was for your sake! Zhang Yijia gege, don't be so narrow-minded!"
"Consider it as Qing'er's mistake, okay? I'm ready to apologize to you now."
As she spoke, she lightly bit her lip, and a blush unexpectedly graced her face.
"Well, I could help you massage your legs and shoulders!"
Zhang Yijia couldn't help but exclaim internally, "Oh my god!"
On such a cold day, her impeccable acting skills, portraying the shy demeanor of a young girl, were truly remarkable.
It was a waste of talent not to pursue a career in acting!
Regrettably, Zhang Yijia was unresponsive to her charms.
"How can that be? We're not a couple. Engaging in such intimate activities is something I cannot accept."
Zhang Yijia maintained a stern expression, stating firmly, "I am a traditional person."
Fang Yuqing was on the verge of exploding upon hearing this.
She was practically offering herself on a silver platter, yet he pretended to be so reserved?
Did he really need her to be so explicit?
As long as she could stay in his home, there would be numerous benefits and advantages in the future, perhaps even a chance for something more.
She thought maybe she hadn't conveyed her intentions clearly.
To ensure she could enter Zhang Yijia's residence and enjoy a life akin to paradise, she disregarded Lin Cainin beside her.
Directly addressing Zhang Yijia, she stated, "Zhang Yijia gege, in fact, I've always had a special fondness for you."
"Considering a romantic relationship in the future isn't out of the question!"
"After all, familiarity breeds affection!"
With a shy expression and covering her face as if embarrassed, she added, "Oh, it's so embarrassing. Do you really want me to be so straightforward?"
Her coquettish appearance, coupled with the enticing look of reluctant acceptance in her eyes, was genuinely alluring.
In the past, Zhang Yijia might have succumbed to the heat of the moment and welcomed her into his home.
Indeed, not everyone could become a refined green tea beauty and pull off such a performance without at least ten years of experience.
Yet, in Zhang Yijia's mind, a quick evaluation took place.
Should he allow Fang Yuqing, this white lotus flower, to enter his abode?
Don't misunderstand; he wasn't a saint.
He simply thought that he had pursued her for two years in the past.
If there was a chance for intimacy now, perhaps it would serve as a form of closure.
However, this thought flickered only briefly before being firmly dismissed.
In the apocalyptic world, he had to eliminate any potential risks, no matter how slight they seemed.
Therefore, he would not open his door, allowing others to enter his impregnable fortress.
Survival trumped everything.
Zhang Yijia chuckled coldly, looking at Fang Yuqing with a mocking gleam in his eyes.
"Fang Yuqing, have you misunderstood something?"
He spread his hands, saying, "I admit that, for a certain period, our relationship was decent."
"But," leaning closer to the camera, he smirked, "you don't seriously think I like you, do you?"
For a self-assured green tea beauty, this statement was incredibly potent!
Sure enough, Fang Yuqing's face turned unsightly upon hearing this.
Lin Cainin, at her side, stole a glance at her, a hidden trace of joy in her eyes.
Indeed, close friends were often fair-weather companions, pretending to care for your well-being while secretly relishing your misfortune.
Fang Yuqing questioned, "Zhang Yijia gege, what do you mean? Weren't you the one who liked Qing'er the most before?"
Zhang Yijia sneered.
"Don't misunderstand. You do have some charm, a beautiful girl. But I never intended to date you; at most, it was just a fling."
"With my conditions, finding a well-formed girlfriend in Tianhai City is not a difficult task."
"Why…haha, why are you so confident, thinking I was desperately pursuing you?"
Zhang Yijia's tone was one of amusement.
As a native of Tianhai City with a household registration, a property worth millions, a substantial savings account, and a stable job with a monthly income exceeding ten thousand, he was undoubtedly a high-quality male in Tianhai City's dating market.
Otherwise, Fang Yuqing wouldn't have considered him her first choice after failing to capture a wealthy target.
If it weren't for Zhang Yijia's simple and kind nature in his previous life, he would have experienced numerous changes in relationships.
Zhang Yijia's words were like a series of sharp knives, piercing directly into Fang Yuqing's heart.
For a self-proclaimed goddess of a white lotus flower, the most unacceptable thing was not having her charm recognized, as it constituted her entire existence.
In the past, she believed Zhang Yijia was a spare tire, a lapdog she could string along while seeking wealthier prospects.
But now, Zhang Yijia revealed to her that she was the fish in his pond.
This revelation was something Fang Yuqing couldn't tolerate!
Her angry voice changed, "Zhang Yijia! You…don't go too far!"
Zhang Yijia sneered, escalating the intensity.
"Enough, enough. Don't pretend to be a pure and innocent beauty with me."
"All these things were done by yourself, weren't they? Truly a case of wanting your cake and eating it too."
After saying this, Zhang Yijia denied Fang Yuqing the opportunity to hurl insults and promptly ended the call.
