"Do I have a girlfriend?" The question made Wu Tian pause.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why ask that? Is it important whether I have a girlfriend?"
Xiao Meng blinked her eyes and said slyly, "If you don't have a girlfriend, then I'll be your girlfriend."
"Huh?" Xiao Meng's directness stunned Wu Tian even more.
He thought to himself, no way, could it be that this touch has sparked some feelings?
He said hesitantly, "No, why are you suddenly saying this?"
"How long have we known each other? You're so direct."
Xiao Meng chuckled, "That's just how I am. I either don't like someone, but if I do, I'm very direct."
Wu Tian's mouth twitched slightly, then he said, "No, you must be joking with me."
"Don't tease me. How could you possibly like me? It's not scientific."
Xiao Meng said, "I also feel quite surprised, but I find that I just like you."
"I feel like you have an inexplicable charm that makes people want to get close to you."
"Oh, stop asking so many questions. Answer mine first, do you have a girlfriend?"
This question made Wu Tian a bit troubled. How should he answer?
After much thought, he felt he couldn't lie, so he honestly replied, "I don't have a girlfriend right now."
"Really!" Xiao Meng was overjoyed to hear this. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like little stars in the sky.
She smiled and said, "That's great. Since you don't have a girlfriend, I'll be your girlfriend then!"
"This..." Wu Tian felt very hesitant.
Honestly, Xiao Meng was excellent. Although she had a bit of a temper sometimes, that little temper was nothing. Probably any man would want to date Xiao Meng.
Especially since Xiao Meng had taken the initiative.
But Wu Tian was not an impulsive person. Many women had wanted to be his girlfriend before, and they were all beauties.
But he hadn't agreed immediately back then, so he wouldn't agree immediately this time either.
So he shook his head as before and said, "I'm sorry, I don't plan to find a girlfriend right now, so I can't be with you."
"What did you say!" Wu Tian's reply completely exceeded Xiao Meng's expectations, causing her to jump up.
She looked at Wu Tian in disbelief and said loudly, "You actually rejected me!"
"No way, how can you reject me!"
Xiao Meng genuinely didn't understand.
After all, she had many suitors. Even arrogant guys like Yuan Hai were devoted to her.
But she couldn't imagine that Wu Tian would actually reject her when she actively pursued him. How could this be possible?
Wu Tian quickly said, "This isn't exactly a rejection, is it? Don't put it so harshly. This... this is at most..."
"At most what!" Xiao Meng was impatient.
Seeing Wu Tian unable to say a complete sentence, she became unbearable and said anxiously, "If you want to say it, say it quickly. Why are you being so hesitant?"
Seeing Xiao Meng getting anxious, Wu Tian also became anxious and said, "Oh, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I just don't want to find a girlfriend right now, so don't force me!"
Xiao Meng pointed to her nose and said, "I'm forcing you? How is this considered forcing you?"
"You're really interesting. What's wrong with you not wanting a girlfriend? But this time, I, this young lady, am actively pursuing you!"
"If you just agree to me, it'll be done. Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
Wu Tian said helplessly, "Sister, what does this have to do with being good enough!"
"I simply don't want to date. Don't I have this freedom?"
Xiao Meng became even more angry and exclaimed, "No, who are you calling sister? You're clearly older than me. Why are you calling me sister? Do you think I look old?"
Wu Tian was a bit bewildered and said with a wronged expression, "I didn't! I just called you that casually."
"Why are you like this? Are you making any sense?"
Xiao Meng exclaimed again, "You're the one who's not making any sense!"
"A girl actively expresses her affection for you, and you have to break her heart. I say, you're not a渣男 (scumbag), are you!"
"Who's a scumbag!" Wu Tian was also unhappy and started arguing with Xiao Meng.
They kept bickering, neither willing to back down. As they argued, they almost wanted to step on the coffee table and point fingers at each other.
After a while, they were both tired from arguing and sat back on the sofa for a break.
Wu Tian's throat was dry from arguing. After taking a sip of tea, he said with drooping eyes, "Alright, alright, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Think whatever you want of me."
"But I'll say this upfront, if I say I don't want to date right now, then I don't want to date."
"Even if you force me, it's useless. I'm not someone who lacks my own opinion."
Xiao Meng also didn't want to argue with Wu Tian anymore.
She poured herself some water and said, "Fine, fine. If you don't want to date, then don't."
"There's plenty of time for us to play around."
"This is the first time I've confessed to someone, but I got this result. No matter what, I definitely won't admit defeat."
"So just you wait. Sooner or later, you'll be firmly caught by me!"
Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "Whatever. Anyway, I don't want to argue with you anymore. I'm tired. That's it."
After that, neither of them spoke much. After some time, Xiao Ding walked in from outside.
He smiled and asked, "How did your conversation go? Did you discuss anything useful?"
Seeing his smiling face, Wu Tian suddenly understood.
No wonder Xiao Ding had left suddenly. He must have deliberately created some free time for him and Xiao Meng to get closer.
It seemed that Xiao Ding's so-called appreciation was not just for talent, but perhaps also for a son-in-law.
Well, in this case, he didn't even need to win over his father-in-law.
Even so, Wu Tian still had no feelings for Xiao Meng.
It wasn't that he was targeting Xiao Meng, but he genuinely had no intention of finding a girlfriend.
Besides, if he were to find someone, it would be Zhou Qian. After all, Zhou Qian was the first woman in his life.
Speaking of Zhou Qian, he hadn't seen her in a long time. He wondered how she was doing now.
