Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Lu Yanci: ...

Although, he felt that way too.

He only saw those women who flocked to him as troubles that needed to be dealt with.

So, the reason he was sentenced to death was not because he was being tested, but because he wanted to meet someone in person?

Although I try every day to make him happy and call him baby, I don't really like him.

I'm so heartbroken!

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "If you take the initiative to chat with a guy, find topics to talk about, try to make him happy, and occasionally act a little capricious with him, do you like him? Or rather, do you have a tiny bit of a crush on him?"

Su Ruan thought for a moment.

A cute little girl said, "If I take the initiative to approach a boy, it means at least I like him. Who would be so pathetic as to actively approach someone they dislike?"

Lu Yanci finally felt a warmth in his heart.

It was his sudden request to meet in person that day that made her feel offended.

He said that the style of their conversations started to change from that day on.

But it was only after that that he began to realize that the girl on the other end of the internet cable was different from others.

So, did he completely avoid Su Ruan?

He was oblivious to Su Ruan's feelings for him and her attempts to get close to him.

But just when Su Ruan felt offended and wanted to sever ties with him, he started to fall for her again.

How unfair is God!

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "If, and I mean if, someone you like makes you lose your mind for a moment, would you still like them again?"

Su Ruan frowned.

Probably not.

If it were her, once she fell for someone, she probably wouldn't fall in love with them again.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, who can say for sure?

Falling in love is something that happens at a certain moment.

If emotions can be controlled by humans, then they are no longer emotions.

Here, Lu Yanci was probably asking Su Qingqian.

Su Qingqian is such a gentle person. If Lu Yanci treats her sincerely, Su Qingqian will definitely fall in love with him again.

This is the underlying nature of the characters, and also the destiny within this book.

A cute little one: "If there's a moment that makes my heart flutter later, maybe I will."

Lu Yanci: A moment that made my heart flutter?

It feels like saying it or not saying it makes no difference.

Lu Yanci breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't completely hopeless.

Lu Yanci was finally completely certain that the little cutie was none other than Su Ruan.

This rational yet emotional way of thinking is what attracts him most about Su Ruan.

But he still missed Su Ruan calling him "baby" in her sweet, soft voice and acting all cute with him.

However, the road ahead is long and arduous.

A moment that stirred my heart...

Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone: "If it were you, under what circumstances would you be moved?"

Su Ruan: ?

How would she know that?

A cute little thing: "When my heart flutters."

Lu Yanci: ...

He reasonably suspected that Su Ruan was playing him.

But his reason told him that Su Ruan's answer might be true.

Lu Yanci suddenly regretted asking Su Ruan to be his strategist.

Some people can talk a good game when they're acting as strategists, but when it comes to actually going to the battlefield, they're a complete mess.

Lu Yanci originally thought that he would feel more at ease after asking Su Ruan, but now, his mind was completely a mess.

Ding! Another message popped up on my phone screen.

A cute little one said: "Although I don't know how to pursue girls, I think that the more time you spend together, the more opportunities you'll have."

After sending this voice message, Su Ruan didn't plan to say anything more.

Lu Yanci and Su Qingqian have to walk their own paths.

Lu Yanci's chaotic mind finally quieted down again.

Su Ruan is right. No matter what she might be attracted to, spending more time together will always create more opportunities.

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "Thank you so much! It's late, you should go to sleep now, goodnight!"

Su Ruan typed "Goodnight" but then deleted it.

She always felt that it was a very ambiguous thing for two people of the opposite sex to say goodnight to each other.

A cute little creature: "Okay."

After putting down her phone, Su Ruan sweetly drifted off to sleep.

Now, the crisis between her and Lu Yanci should be completely resolved, and her life in this world is finally free from any constraints.

Lu Yanci tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

When I close my eyes, I see Su Ruan's polite and distant smile from the first time I met her, and Lu Shuangshuang's gentle and doting smile from the first time I met her.

It was her sweet, coquettish tone when she sent him a voice message, and the way she shyly yet familiarly called him "baby."

She calmly pointed out the program flaws in Lin Mo's lab; she pondered the difficulties of computational research even on the road. Her problem-solving methods were evident in her eloquent discussions at Ding Shi Ji.

He didn't know when, but Su Ruan, both online and offline, quietly entered his heart.

Lu Yanci took out his phone again.

But after scrolling through my contacts, all I found were either lifelong bachelors or playboys.

Lu Yanci sighed and tapped on a phone number.

Are you asleep?

Tang Jinshi released the girl in his arms.

"This is nothing!"

Tang Jinshi is the playboy in Lu Yanci's contact list.

Rather than looking for those perpetual bachelors, Lu Yanci ultimately settled for the playboy Tang Jinshi.

"Good that you're not asleep. I have a question for you: how should I pursue a girl?"

Tang Jinshi, who had been lounging on the sofa with a woman in his arms, suddenly sat up straight.

"What? Did I hear that right? Brother Lu, you're going to pursue a girl?"

"Never mind who it is, just tell me, how should I pursue her?"

Tang Jinshi chuckled and gently swirled a glass of red wine in it.

"That's where things get interesting."

Tell me about it.

"First, you have to see what kind of girl she is. Different girls require different approaches to pursuing them."

"for example?"

"For example, if a family is not well-off but kind and innocent, you would send her flowers, take her for a drive, spend money on her, and spend money on things that are least worthwhile but that they find romantic."

"Anything else?"

"For example, if a materialistic woman has been through the harsh realities of society and has developed a certain understanding of money, then you can give her designer bags, cosmetics, and take her to upscale restaurants."

"What if someone already comes from a well-off family?"

"That would be more difficult."

Lu Yanci: ...

He said that Tang Jinshi changed girlfriends every week, and that he was just deceiving naive young girls.

Tang Jinshi took a sip of red wine and continued, "If her family is well-off, then see what her family does. Create some trouble for her business, then play the hero and give her company orders, making her and her entire family dependent on you."

Lu Yanci: "What kind of tricks are these?"

Tang Jinshi felt utterly innocent.

"That's how it's written in female-oriented novels; women really like that kind of thing."
