Chapter 45.3: There’s No One Like You (3)

So, youre saying that she hasnt promised anything, but you have already fallen for her act and agreed not to be cold to her anymore. Ji Fanyin snuggled lazily on her sofa as she summarized what she had just heard from Li Xiaoxing. Is that right?

Li Xiaoxing didnt reply.

Ji Fanyin felt tempted to send Li Xiaoxing the I cant carry you anymore, goodbye emoji, but ultimately, she still had to preserve her clients dignity. 

Letting out a sigh, she grabbed a strawberry from a fruit platter placed on the table and said, Forget it, this works too. Let her think that the conflict has been resolved for the time being. In a way, she has left a handle that you can use against her in the future. From now on, youll just have to find another way to stoke her unease and let her know that youre no longer within her sphere of control.

How do I do that? Li Xiaoxing dived right down to the real question.

Youre from a distinguished background. Your family must have been pushing quite a few marriage candidates on you, right? Ji Fanyin casually rested her head on her arm. Why dont you try meeting some of them?

To provoke her?

Yes, but theres a way to go about it, replied Ji Fanyin. Theres no need to rush things now. For the time being, we can let her think that her tricks are working.

So, act normally?

Thats right. You can interact with her in the way you usually do, said Ji Fanyin with a smile. Shell be reminded of her promise to consider you whenever she thinks of you. I reckon that itll bug her for quite a while.

Balance was important when it came to pursuing a woman. It would rarely end well to go full aggressive. 

Ill try my best, replied Li Xiaoxing.

Hanging up the call, Ji Fanyin spent a short moment contemplating the deeper meaning behind the words, Ill try my best.

I guess that Li Xiaoxing is getting a little drunk now that the tables are turned and Ji Xinxin is the one whos anxious to fawn on him.

Ji Fanyin felt like she was playing a game of chess here, using Li Xiaoxing as her piece against Ji Xinxin. 

Should Ji Xinxin choose to become lovers with Li Xiaoxing, it would spell the end of her fishery. If so, Ji Fanyin should be able to reap one last huge harvest from her fishery behind her back. 

To be frank, Ji Fanyin was quite curious to know how Ji Xinxin would deal with this crisis.

On the third day of Ji Fanyins break, she received a call from Ji Xinxin. 

Ji Xinxin spoke with her usual cheery voice, Big sis, a huge coincidence happened earlier on. I met a junior who mistook me for you. He seems to be very close with you, and he shared a lot of your affairs with me. Is he a friend you made recently?

Ji Fanyin lazily flopped over on her sofa and put her remote control down on the table. Then, she sighed in exasperation. 

Haaa, its this kind of petty trick again.
