Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 382 A Life of Being Conquered

"Hey, you underestimate me?"

With his spiky hair sticking straight up, the man, exuding a roguish air, took a big gulp of wine with disdain in his eyes.

“Yeah, I don’t think you can handle it.” The person opposite him was completely unaffected by his imposing manner, raising his index finger and shaking it from side to side. “Don’t let her little girl appearance fool you, she’s got a stubborn streak, and you might not be able to win her over.”

"Don't put it so harshly. There's really no woman in this world that I can't win over!"

He took a sip of wine and smiled wickedly.

"Anyone can talk big, but who knows what the outcome will be!" The man opposite him finished his drink. "Alright, it's time. My wife is waiting for me to get back. Do as you please, I have to go back now."

After saying that, he turned and left the bar.

Tang Shuai, left alone in the bar, smiled nonchalantly and poured himself another drink.

"Brother, I really have to apologize, but no matter what, we have to win her over!"

A photograph was placed on the table. In it, a short girl in a white dress smiled brightly under a cherry blossom tree. She was pure and beautiful.

"...No matter what, you are mine."

……

"Hi~"

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by a large bouquet of blooming roses and a handsome smiling face; Yu Liu has now learned to accept this.

"You're here very early today," she greeted him expressionlessly.

"I come this early every day, it's just that you didn't come out this early before~" Tang Shuai smiled gently, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of doting affection.

"Really? Are you saying this to blame me for getting up late every day?" Yu Liu said with a fake sneer, her words contradicting her true feelings.

"No, no, how could I blame you?" Tang Shuai misspoke and quickly tried to make amends: "I was just worried about why you got up so early today?"

He quickly changed the subject.

"Um... is this question important?"

Yu Liu felt a little embarrassed because she didn't know how to answer the question. If she told the truth, it might turn into a "battleground".

"From what you've said, it must be very important. Can you tell me?" Tang Shuai handed the flowers to Yu Liu, his tone leaving no room for refusal, especially emphasizing the word "important."

"Alright." Yu Liu sighed helplessly. Whether she said it or not, the other party would know. He had been following her all these days, and Yu Liu had always known.

"I'm going on a blind date. My mom arranged it for me!" She made sure to say the last sentence to avoid upsetting the other person.

"Auntie... are you desperate to get married?"

Tang Shuai's tone was somewhat unpleasant. He already regarded Yu Liu as his own possession, and seeing her about to fall into someone else's trap, he would not be Tang if he could swallow this insult.

That's my mom!

Yu Liu's words were even more awkward. Suddenly having a mother who kept urging her to get married was something she couldn't handle.

"Your mom won't do either! She can see it, I'm pursuing you every day, don't I deserve it?"

"Perhaps, after all, your academic qualifications are indeed..."

Yu Liu was too embarrassed to say these things. The man her adoptive mother introduced her to was a PhD graduate, now a senior researcher at a large academy of sciences, managing nearly a hundred assistants, earning tens of millions a year, and handsome—a rare and eligible bachelor. Tang Shuai, on the other hand, only finished elementary school and didn't even finish junior high before drifting into the underworld, spending his days fighting with a group of thugs. Eventually, the thugs ended up in the police station, and he had to find a way to make a living. Now, although he's a manager at a private company, his annual salary is less than a million, far less than Yu Liu's.

If there's one thing he could compare to his opponent in, it's probably his appearance. But even that's only because he's a god, while his opponent is just a mortal, and even then, his appearance is considered outstanding among mortals.

Tang Shuai knew what Yu Liu had left unsaid, and that was precisely what made him resentful. To be honest, his true identity would absolutely terrify that old man, but he couldn't say it. This led to the current awkward situation: Yu Liu had to be his, otherwise…

"So you have to listen to your mother? Can't we stop being so obedient? Am I not good enough? When you go on blind dates, will your date be as good to you as I am? Think about it carefully. Stop listening to your mother all the time. She's not you. You need to think about yourself. Even if your date earns a lot of money and has a high level of education, what good is it?"

Seeing Yu Liu deep in thought, Tang Shuai pressed on: "Look at me. Although I'm not as rich as those blind dates your mother found for you, I'm still handsome and wealthy, right? Besides, my heart belongs only to you. I'll only love you for the rest of my life. I'm much better than them. You need to know that there are too many men out there who are always looking for something better. If you're so casual, what if you get fooled?"

“But…” Enjoying Tang Shuai’s nervous expression, Yu Liu paused for a long time with a mischievous grin. After pretending to think, she still disagreed and said, “My mother said that she has investigated these people for a long time and they will definitely not have the problems you mentioned.”

"...Can you please stop saying your mother said that? You are you, not your mother."

Tang Shuai had really had enough of hearing that phrase. When he was pursuing her, the phrase he heard her say most often was "My mom said that."

He'd had enough, enough of those words. What was there to trust about that old man? He was always plotting against his own daughter, and this fool still believed her. Wang Nan was right, this guy just had a stubborn streak.

“My mom is doing this for my own good, why can’t I say it?” Yu Liu tilted her head, seemingly puzzled.

"..."

Tang Shuai was completely at a loss. Was he supposed to lay everything out on the table and tell the other party that the old guy had ulterior motives and just didn't want him to have her?

What is this? Is the guilty party accusing the innocent first?

That old guy must have known he wouldn't say that, which is why he's so reckless.

"Sigh, never mind. Don't you have a blind date? Go ahead, but remember, I'll be following you the whole time. If he does anything out of line, call me. I'll definitely save you right away, got it?"

"I'll remember." Yu Liu stepped past Tang Shuai and put his flowers back in his arms. "Um, could you hold onto these flowers for me for now? It doesn't seem appropriate for me to bring a bouquet of flowers with me on my blind date. You can return them to me later."

I can't just throw away the words Ah Ning gave me; I must cherish them.

"Then I'll be going now." Yu Liu closed the door, waved, picked up her small bag, and walked towards the parking lot, where someone was already waiting.

“…I was disliked.”

Tang Shuai looked at the flowers in his arms and gave a bitter smile.
