Chapter 173 Heart Fluttering
On one hand, Liu Jinshi was afraid of the changes that were about to happen between the two of them, and on the other hand, she couldn't help but want to get closer to Wu Tao.
Before having those kinds of thoughts, Liu Jinshi wouldn't have thought much about it. But now that she had those thoughts, and looking at Wu Tao again, Liu Jinshi was indeed a little tempted.
Liu Jinshi was precocious, and the reason she didn't want to date in college was because she felt that her classmates were too immature.
Liu Jinshi is also a very thoughtful woman. She studied fashion design and has always had a dream of creating her own brand.
At that time, her works can be sold to women all over the world, and her career can also achieve great success.
These ideas are definitely impossible to achieve with the help of the Liu family. In fact, after graduation, Liu Jinshi will only be able to find a job at a clothing design company.
As a new designer, I really don't have many opportunities to personally create works.
When Liu Jinshi first saw Wu Tao's success online, she thought that she would have support for her future entrepreneurial endeavors.
Her brother-in-law was so good to her, he definitely wouldn't refuse her. Liu Jinshi was the most disappointed after learning of Wu Tao and Liu Ruyan's divorce.
In the past few days, she has been appearing in front of Wu Tao every day, hoping to influence him.
She claimed that she made all these lovingly prepared foods herself, but in reality, they were all made by Liu Ruyan herself.
Liu Ruyan, who used to never lift a finger in the kitchen, has now obediently learned how to cook. She does this to move Wu Tao and let him know that she has changed.
Unfortunately, Wu Tao didn't care at all. Liu Jinshi said she did it, so Wu Tao took it as true. As long as Liu Jinshi didn't bring it up, he wouldn't expose her.
Liu Ruyan was still eagerly waiting at home for her younger sister to bring her good news, but she never expected that her home would be raided.
Wu Tao is not the cowardly person he was in the original body. He is lecherous and hates dawdling.
Liu Jinshi came to Toutiao's company again today, and Wu Tao decided not to continue the entanglement.
Wu Tao doesn't care what the Liu family plans to do; he only does what he likes.
Since you've fallen for Liu Jinshi, just go for it! As for rejection, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't agree, then don't see each other again.
Liu Jinshi took out a lunchbox from her bag and intended to place it on the coffee table.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind. Liu Jinshi froze, and she knew who was behind her.
A faint smell of tobacco wafted over, and Liu Jinshi felt weak all over, her mind going blank.
At that moment, she didn't think of resisting or scolding him at all; the man's whispers entered her ears like a demon's spell.
Liu Jinshi was passive throughout. Although the two of them did not take the final step, they still did a lot of things.
As Wu Tao helped Liu Jinshi get dressed, he looked at her tenderly.
"Brother-in-law, Brother Tao, this won't do. I'll pretend nothing happened today, and I'll still be your sister."
Liu Jinshi herself didn't know what she was saying, expressing herself incoherently, she now had only one last struggle left.
Wu Tao raised his index finger and pressed it against Liu Jinshi's lips, signaling her not to speak.
"Stop talking. I really like you. If you're willing, then be my woman. Everything is negotiable except for marriage. If you're not willing, then from today onwards, we shouldn't see each other again. As for what your family is thinking, that has nothing to do with me."
Wu Tao's words left Liu Jinshi with nothing to say, and now the choice was in Liu Jinshi's hands.
If Liu Jinshi doesn't agree, they definitely won't see each other again. Next time, Wu Tao certainly won't easily see Liu Jinshi; conversely, if he does, Liu Jinshi could become Wu Tao's current girlfriend.
Seeing Liu Jinshi struggling with her dilemma, Wu Tao chuckled and came over to hug her.
"Don't hesitate, your heart has already helped you make the choice. Now your sister and I are separated, and being together hasn't hurt anyone."
"Brother Tao, but things will eventually come to light. What will my parents and sister think of me then?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as you're willing, leave everything to me."
"Alright then, actually I've been in love with you for a long time too."
Liu Jinshi seemed to have been persuaded by Wu Tao, and then she truly relaxed.
With mutual affection, both were naturally delighted. When Liu Jinshi left the Toutiao company, even the breeze felt sweet.
It wasn't until Liu Jinshi returned home and saw Liu Ruyan that she suddenly snapped out of her daze and quickly composed herself.
When Liu Ruyan saw Liu Jinshi return in high spirits, she assumed that her plan had succeeded.
"Little sister, how was it? What did your brother-in-law say today? Did you tell him that I made all this delicious food?"
Liu Jinshi didn't know how to explain for a moment. She had originally planned to say it, but now she and Wu Tao had confirmed their relationship.
At this point, Liu Jinshi certainly wouldn't tell Wu Tao the truth. Her instinct was that she couldn't tell Liu Ruyan, so she had no choice but to lie.
"No, Brother Tao was too busy today, so I didn't have time to talk to him."
Liu Ruyan sighed in disappointment. She was currently in a state of confusion and pain every day. This feeling was too agonizing, and every time this happened, she deeply regretted that she had approached Chen Bin.
If she hadn't done that, she wouldn't have disappointed Wu Tao, and wouldn't she be able to stay by his side and enjoy his success now?
As Liu Ruyan tossed and turned through the night, reflecting on these events, she felt an urge to slap herself. Why had she lost her composure upon seeing Chen Bin, when he had clearly already hurt her before?
That's reality. If Wu Tao hadn't succeeded, Liu Ruyan certainly wouldn't have regretted it. If Chen Bin hadn't fallen on hard times, she would still be entangled with him.
So you see, Liu Ruyan's current pain and regret don't stem from a genuine realization of her mistakes. She simply can't accept that the outcome of her weighing the pros and cons is so disastrous.
Deep down, Liu Ruyan hadn't truly repented; she simply couldn't accept that Wu Tao's current glory didn't include her.
Liu Jinshi has been avoiding Liu Ruyan lately, mainly because Liu Jinshi is finally together with Wu Tao now.
Wu Tao brought Liu Jinshi to Longteng Manor for the first time. Liu Jinshi was deeply shocked when she saw the villa that Wu Tao had bought.
This place is too big. The Liu family also owns a villa, but it's only 240 square meters.
Compared to this large villa of over 2,000 square meters, Liu Jinshi really loves this place.
Wu Tao has told Liu Jinshi that he will never marry another woman again, but apart from the marriage certificate, Liu Jinshi will receive the same treatment as his wife.
Liu Jinshi understands Wu Tao. As a man, after being betrayed by his wife, he certainly wouldn't easily trust others.
Liu Jinshi felt that as long as she loved Wu Tao wholeheartedly, she would eventually move him, and then they could truly get married.
