Chapter 361 "What Then?"
She just wanted to remind him all the time not to lose himself in impulse.
Wick Lip Curve:
"Nice to meet you."
He raised his glass, and Lu Siyao clinked his glass with his:
"Same."
She's really cute, and her unpretentious personality makes her even more interesting.
She never looked up to him because of who he was, nor did she look down on him because he was just a herder.
Therefore, such a woman deserves to be loved.
As she was about to start eating, she looked at the exquisitely presented dish in front of her and felt a little reluctant to eat. She looked left and right a little hesitant.
Wick raised his eyebrows:
"It's not poisonous, eat it with confidence."
She really wasn't afraid of him poisoning her, and said indifferently:
"Thank you."
Pick up a piece of beef with a fork and put it in your mouth, uh~
This seemingly fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine has a unique flavor.
"Is it tasty?"
Wick cut the beef and put it into his mouth slowly.
Lu Siyao raised her eyes:
“Delicious, but a little weird.”
"What's weird?"
Wick is used to cooking for himself and his cooking skills are relatively mature, so he does have some confidence.
Lu Siyao showed a smug smile:
"Aren't you very confident? Why are you still questioning yourself?"
Wick then realized that she had lied to him:
"I want to know your taste and make adjustments according to your requirements."
He is not stubborn and is easy to get along with. He is always willing to assist her, take care of her and be the one behind her.
Before this, Gu Jinyan had never been like this.
It doesn't seem difficult to make changes for her, but not everyone is willing to do so.
"Why are you so nice to me?"
No one is willing to be nice to someone for no reason. If it's just to get her, then there's no need to do so.
It's natural for Wick to be nice, but he's not nice to everyone.
So, Lu Siyao felt curious, after all, she didn't believe in the word "love".
"Maybe it's fate."
As fate would have it, this metaphor is neither good nor bad.
Wick's fingers were beautiful, long, slender fingers, and his wrists cut the steak with effortless force.
Holding the fork in one hand and eating slowly, he picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.
He is versatile and any role suits him.
On the grassland, he is like a prince on horseback; when traveling between cities, he is like an elite who doesn't fit in.
He switches roles at any time, and his eyes reveal his calmness and ease.
Lu Siyao was curious, why would he like her?
Or does he also have an untold story?
"It's a little weird."
Wick raised his eyebrows:
"What's weird?"
Lu Siyao curled her lips:
"It's impossible for someone like you to not be liked by others, but you act like you're a little lonely."
Indeed, she is very good at judging people.
It is not difficult to find that Lu Siyao's mind is still clear, unless she doesn't want to analyze it that way.
Analyzing a person is too tiring, she doesn't like it.
Wick looked at her and stopped laughing, as if he was instantly brought back to reality:
"What do you think I should be like?"
"You are handsome, have a good personality, and don't seem to be short of money. There should be a lot of girls who like you."
so what?
Just because you are rich and pretty does that mean you should be a scumbag, or should you just live a life of luxury and debauchery as a matter of course?
Wick looked at her in confusion:
"Then what?"
Then?
He would understand what she meant, they were all adults:
"Then there are many wives and concubines."
What a woman with many wives and concubines. Is this what she experienced?
Wick took a sip of red wine and said calmly:
"First of all, I'm not lustful, not like those rich people you talk about.
Secondly, I don’t have much contact with the opposite sex, and I haven’t met anyone who makes my heart beat.
My genes and my bloodline do not allow me to have multiple wives and concubines. No matter who I marry in the future, it must be because I love the other person, not because of perfunctory. "
Yes, being insincere but not sincere is actually called perfunctory.
Most marriages have this problem because they once loved each other.
Because we have given to each other, because of responsibility and for various reasons.
She already knew that "make do" and "perfunctory" mean the same thing.
After meeting Wick, she seemed to have started to understand marriage and family again.
No one can force anyone to continue loving you, and the moment love disappears, no one is wrong.
Was she joking, or had she been subtly influenced in that way?
She divides men into two types, namely Gu Jinyan and her uncle.
Men love their careers, are chauvinistic, possessive and like to go crazy.
All she can do is obey or compromise, which is what she thinks love should be like.
People in the upper class seem to be like this, like a label, selfishness and narrow-mindedness are covered up by the halo of wealth.
“Do you think love will last?”
How credible are the words of an ideal man who has never experienced family life?
Maybe when he really gets married, he will realize that reality is far from his imagination.
Wick could see that she was very lonely, and of course he could imagine a reason for choosing a divorce, which must be painful.
So, is it the wrong time for him now?
Wick smiled self-deprecatingly:
"meeting."
He had witnessed the love of his grandparents, who only loved one person in their entire lives, so of course he believed that love would last.
What's wrong with choosing the right person at the right time?
So if that was the case, why did she want to be with Gu Jinyan at that time?
Gu Jinyan certainly didn't believe it. Love itself is the host of desire. Without desire, there is no demand, and without love, one is free.
Gu Jinyan didn’t believe in love before, and she bet on the wrong person from the very beginning.
He had been through so many women besides her, and she was the only one for him, and he was not.
The prodigal son's return may be temporary because he should not have returned in the first place.
Wick's view on love is healthy, and compared with his character, his definition of love is beyond her imagination.
Therefore, he has advantages in every aspect.
"Do you believe it?"
Wick took the initiative and asked her the same question.
Lu Siyao was silent for a moment, thinking:
"Do not believe."
Yes, she doesn’t believe it. How can she believe it?
Gu Jinyan had broken her heart more than once, and she no longer believed that any relationship could last.
As expected, Wick already had the answer in mind.
Even if it wasn't him today, she wouldn't be tempted by anyone else. He came at the wrong time.
Wick lowered his head and ate the steak on the plate:
"You will gradually believe it."
Maybe, but definitely not now.
The people who had this dinner were very frank. They opened up their hearts to each other and expressed their most basic definitions of love.
Their relationship has come a step closer, even though it still seems out of reach.
Once Wick has decided on a person, he will not give up easily, just like when he invests. From a long-term perspective, he has made a firm bet on this matter.
Lu Siyao felt that the food was delicious, not greasy, and not salty or bland.
It’s not as good as a Michelin star restaurant, but it’s more heart-warming and nourishing.
She was used to Chinese food prepared by the maids, so she found it more novel.
