As she spoke, Shi Ran felt wronged. "I'm so scared here, and Sister Wei isn't around. I can only rely on you. What do you want me to do?"
Hearing Shi Ran's words, Tang Si felt both heartache and joy.
He reached out and cupped her cheek. "If you like someone, you like them. Why worry so much? So what if I'm the young master of the Tang family? I haven't spent a single penny of my family's money since high school. No one has any say in my affairs. As for Zhao Wuyan, I've told you many times, I won't marry her. She and I are in the past."
Shi Ran shook her head. "You come from a prominent family; there are many things you don't understand. Social status, whether in the past or now, is very important."
She bit her red lip and hesitated for a moment. "Tang Si, after tonight, we'll be even. I hope you can forget today. Tomorrow, I'll find Sister Wei and ask her to send me away from here."
When she first came to the Hidden Clan, she thought Meng Jingwei genuinely needed her for something. But after this night, she realized she was just an extra.
Instead of causing trouble here, it would be better to leave early, which would also save a lot of hassle.
"Even?!"
Tang Si grabbed Shi Ran's shoulders, his hazel eyes filled with anger. "What do you take me, Tang Si, for, huh?"
His sudden outburst startled Shi Ran, leaving her breathless. She stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
The fear in her eyes almost spilled out.
Tang Si's heart softened, and his voice immediately became gentle. "Do you think I'm just playing around?"
"Aren't you?"
She retorted.
"Damn! Am I really that scummy?"
Shi Ran didn't speak, but her eyes said it all.
Tang Si suppressed the urge to strangle Shi Ran, controlling his emotions. "We still have a month or two to spend in the Hidden Clan. Why not try to get along? Perhaps it's not as bad as you think."
"Try to get along?"
Repeating his words, Shi Ran's eyes flickered, and she hesitated.
She had to admit, she was truly moved.
After a relationship in high school, she hadn't dated for many years.
The first time she saw Tang Si, she was deeply attracted to this man who was handsome with a hint of mischief.
He was unrestrained, casual, flamboyant, and seemingly dissolute, but he seemed to have his own principles in everything he did, and he was also a well-known medical genius in Lancheng.
A man full of shining points, it was hard for Shi Ran not to be moved.
"Yes, try to get along. If we're not suitable, we can break up before returning to Lancheng. At that time, we'll still be friends, and no one will know. Can we?"
Tang Si lowered his attitude, gently negotiating with her.
He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was excited and nervous, secretly praying that Shi Ran would agree to his request.
"Tang Si."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Shi Ran call his name, he responded. Then Shi Ran continued, "I, I come from a poor family, graduated from an ordinary university, and have no special skills. I'm not like Sister Wei, who is highly skilled, a hacker expert, and excellent at gaming. She even has such a powerful background. I am very ordinary, very common, even timid and stupid. Are you sure you can accept someone like me?"
Love had appeared long ago, but she never expected Tang Si to confess to her in this way.
Shi Ran rationally told herself to refuse Tang Si, but the condition of 'trying to get along' that Tang Si proposed was too tempting, and she was very moved.
"Haha."
The man laughed heartily and gently flicked her forehead. "I'm looking for someone I like, not a business partner. So, I accept your ordinariness, I accept that you're not smart enough, and I allow you to be timid. Because, I'll be there for everything."
