Chapter 26 Be My Girlfriend
Tang Qianqian was still driving, while Chao Bufan dozed off as soon as he got in the car.
It was already 3:30 a.m. when I left that shady hotel!
It wasn't that Chao Bufan didn't want to drive, but rather that he didn't want to suffer the pain, because the thing he wanted to do most right now was to lie comfortably in the passenger seat and have a good, restful sleep.
Having escaped two kidnappings in one day unscathed both times, Tang Qianqian's attitude towards Chao Bufan has clearly changed a lot; at least she no longer speaks coldly to him.
Not long after getting on the bus, Tang Qianqian puffed out her cheeks, mustered up her courage, and took the initiative to say, "Chao Bufan, I really don't understand. You say you're borrowing money, but it's obvious you're just trying to extort them."
Hearing this, Chao Bufan, still dozing with his eyes closed, smiled and said, "Whatever you say! Consider it a lesson to them, let them experience what it's like to be blackmailed. As for me, I've always been a good guy, but I haven't gotten any good returns. So I'll be the bad guy! I'm the kind of person who never thinks I have too much money, and I'll never turn down money. After all, I think the more money the better, at least..." He glanced at Tang Qianqian and continued, "I'll have the confidence and resources to pursue girls in the future."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian shook her head and smiled.
“Don’t laugh,” Chao Bufan said. “I’m telling the truth. After all, I’m still single and not that old. I’m only twenty-three. I have a bright future ahead of me.”
Twenty-three is indeed very young, and you can do many things you want to do! Because youth is the greatest asset, youth is capital!
Tang Qianqian wholeheartedly agreed with Chao Bufan's statement. However, having been aloof and proud since childhood, she couldn't let go of this pride when facing many situations. Because of her strong will and competitiveness, she could never bring herself to lower herself. As for Chao Bufan, this eccentric guy, he had plenty of ways to make Tang Qianqian obedient and submissive to him, but he didn't want to do that.
"Your future prospects refer to your womanizing, right?" she asked casually.
Chao Bufan chuckled and said undeniably, "Not entirely. Chasing girls is just one part of my life, though an essential one. Back in the army, I faced a monotonous life every day, constantly on the go, always worried about my life. Now that I've finally left the army and changed my lifestyle, I can't just live an ordinary life! That would be too unfair to myself. Besides, my mother didn't give birth to me just to serve others my whole life. I've done what I was supposed to do, and I have no regrets. After all, I have my own choices, my own dreams and pursuits. To be honest, life in the army wasn't what I really wanted."
Tang Qianqian asked calmly, "You also have times when you worry?"
Chao Bufan smiled slightly and then said, "Do you think I'm a god? I'm also a person of flesh and blood. I don't have a body of copper walls or indestructible steel, nor do I have the ability to fly over rooftops or escape into the sky. Every mission is ever-changing and fraught with danger. One wrong move, even a small mistake, could cost me my life. Tell me, how can I not worry?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian nodded, completely agreeing with Chao Bufan's statement.
“I don’t have any other skills,” he continued, “but many times, I can’t act solely on my own preferences. I have to protect what should be protected and guard the people who should be guarded. That’s the true nature of a man. So, I have my principles and my standards. I only do what I think I should do. I’m true to my conscience and have no regrets.”
Chao Bufan spoke frankly and naturally. After all, having experienced two lives, he possessed a maturity far beyond his peers, and thus had a deeper understanding of the realities of society.
Tang Qianqian's face had lost its coldness at some point. Her eyes glanced at Chao Bufan's ordinary-looking face. In the dim light of the car's reading lamp, that face subtly revealed a deep and melancholic air, causing her heart to flutter slightly. At the same time, her mind raced, and she thought to herself: This man is about the same age as me, yet his thinking is so meticulous, and his actions so calm and composed. What kind of man is he? How can he give off such a great sense of security…?
Thinking of these things, a blush inexplicably rose on Tang Qianqian's pretty face.
"You're a good person, thank you for saving me again!"
Her voice was soft and slightly hoarse, which made Chao Bufan feel much happier. But she quickly returned to her lazy demeanor, like a smug little man who had achieved his goal. Her smug smile was so annoying it could drive a person crazy.
"What? Has your opinion of me changed?" Chao Bufan asked in a joking tone.
"kindness."
Tang Qianqian puffed out her cheeks and finally nodded.
Chao Bufan smiled faintly, and then said, "Women are indeed emotional creatures; they can change their minds in a second."
Tang Qianqian didn't utter a sound; her thoughts were still lingering on Chao Bufan's boastful words.
He leaned back in his chair with his hands as pillows and said calmly, "Miss Tang, besides being aloof and arrogant, you are actually quite a beauty. I'm sure there would be a long line of boys pursuing you. I wonder if you would be interested in being my girlfriend?"
What? This guy wants me to be his girlfriend? Oh my god, did I hear that right?
Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian's face flushed red, a sight that stirred a complex mix of emotions within Chao Bufan.
To be fair, her appearance and temperament are like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg—exquisitely beautiful, elegant yet refined, charming yet not seductive, her beauty is indescribable, captivating yet retaining its natural charm. She possesses a cunning yet innocent quality, a bewitching allure with a pure heart; her gentle, refined charm is heartbreaking, and imbued with a touch of nobility, making one bow down in utter intoxication.
For a normal man, this would be an absolute stimulant, and Chao Bufan was no exception. However, he believed that there were countless beautiful women in the world, and he wasn't the kind of fool who would drool over every beautiful woman he saw, nor was he like Pig Brother, a simpleton who would drool over every beautiful woman he saw. There was no need for him to be fixated on just one woman.
“You’re extraordinary, and although you’re the most outstanding boy I’ve ever met,” she said without any hesitation, “I don’t want to be your girlfriend.”
"Why?" Chao Bufan asked casually.
"There's no reason why, I just don't want to."
Tang Qianqian answered directly and without any emotional fluctuation. Chao Bufan didn't think much of it. He had just asked casually. If she didn't want to, so be it. Not wanting to now didn't mean she wouldn't want to later. He was too lazy to say more and simply closed his eyes to go back to sleep.
