Chapter 453: Chapter 207 Hot and Scalding

As Su Huai sat down opposite her, Chen Nuanhan, who had been engulfed by his strong pheromones, finally let out a sigh of relief.

Without time for a detailed reflection, she instinctively decided to regain the initiative.

Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.

"I’m hungry, Susu."

"Help you cut the cake?" Su Huai seemed very amiable.

"Hmm."

She propped her chin with both hands, eyes filled with a pool of water, gazing affectionately at Gou Huai.

"I’m so happy today! Susu, you’ve finally become gentle, considerate, adorable, and handsome for once... huh, are you planning to do something bad to me? Actually, it’s not entirely off limits~~~ But you have to confess to me! We’re only one step away~~~"

The hand that Su Huai held the cake knife with stiffened for a moment.

He was a bit caught off guard, but not completely surprised.

Chen Nuanhan’s difficulty lay in various aspects, but those were all superficial; her true essence was the stability of her core framework.

The way we act depends on both our logic + emotion, a dual assessment, right?

This assessment constantly reminds us of how to face different situations; this is the core framework.

But most men are too easily swayed, and their framework tends to wobble easily.

Take going for a foot massage, for instance. Initially planning to spend just 98 on a simple foot rub, but upon seeing a pretty and sexy technician, suddenly feeling that the 298 package might be more appropriate...

After which, hearing the pitiful story of the lovely young lady, the good man impulsively adds on three more hours, fervently comforting her barren heart.

This is when overflowing emotions overpower reason, preferring to worsen one’s already tight financial situation, just to change the pitying lady’s stockings.

The analogy might be a bit extreme, but the point is valid: core frameworks are easily affected by emotions.

In this aspect, women are usually weaker.

All women have a line they won’t cross, but they often forget about it, swoon at sweet words, get swayed by deceit, and in their confusion release that line, later unable to recall it.

The so-called acting solely on emotion without principles accurately paints the picture.

But Chen Nuanhan was different; even in the most emotionally turbulent times, she held on to her principles.

The extent of her interactions with a certain person was very clear to her, like a red line fixed in her mind, never wavering.

For example, in her past life, she trusted Su Huai so much but even when drunk, refused to engage in a sentimental talk with him, only saying, "You’re a good man, but I am a self-important bad woman. We can be friends for a very, very long time, just not together, otherwise, in the end, I would lose you, and you would end up hating me..."

And in this life, even though she desperately wanted to beat Gu Jiuyue for once, and her feelings for Su Huai ran deep, at such a time, she was still thinking, "You must give me a clear promise."

To completely control her, one must break her core framework.

This was hard but also particularly interesting.

Without showing any emotion, Su Huai continued to cut the cake, placing the most beautiful piece topped with strawberries onto a plate in front of her, and only then, with a meaningful smile, said,

"We’re far from being a couple; it’s not just this one step."

Chen Nuanhan’s seduction seemed as effective as winking at a blind man, not having any effect at all, making her mood plummet.

"What’s the matter! Can’t you just let go of Gu Jiuyue?"

"Don’t mention Gu Jiuyue. Even without her, how do you plan to remove the thorn in my heart?"

"Thorn?"

"I’m not worthy of you, we can only be friends... Goddess, are you going to take back your own words now?"

"Why are you so petty?"

In just a few words, Chen Nuanhan’s temper was riled up again by Su Huai.

"It was just a moment of frustration; are you planning to hold that against me for a lifetime?"

"More than that, I plan to remember it in the next lifetime too."

"Then..." Chen Nuanhan really got anxious, speaking without thinking, "Then at the KTV last time, didn’t you already punish me? So many marks were stamped on... on... I didn’t dare to go to the women’s bathhouse for three whole days!"

"What makes you think a few stamps would settle the score?"

Gou Huai played with her emotions lightheartedly, stirring the pot again: "Is it possible that I plan to hold a grudge against you for a lifetime?"

"Impossible!"

The rebuttal came out spontaneously, but she suddenly swallowed her harsh words, cooing stickily at Su Huai.

"Susu, my dear Susu, I know you’re just playing with me, how could you bear to hurt me? I’m your baby~~~ Look, Flower!"

She stretched out her arms near her face, puckered her lips for a flying kiss, narrowed her eyes into a beaming smile, and wholeheartedly posed as a flower, without feeling the slightest bit cheesy.

Chen Nuanhan sometimes had no bottom line; she was never the conventional Northeastern girl, especially adept at using various means to achieve her goals.

Gou Huai felt his fist clench.

If he were to stuff his fist into her pouted, rosy lips... cough cough, stop having such thoughts; he was a decent man after all.

Decent Huai cleared his throat and retorted, "Then how can you bear to hurt me?"

"I!"

Chen Nuanhan was livid with the way he clung to her small mistake and refused to let go, but she decided to continue to endure—Gou Dongxi wouldn’t respond well to harshness, and getting on his bad side offered her no benefits now.

"I’ve already admitted my mistake, haven’t I? If you’re not satisfied, then just say it, and I’ll continue with the apologies, okay?"

"Really?"

"Really!"

Chen Nuanhan nodded her head earnestly, believing that no matter how angry Su Huai was, faced with her own soft and cute demeanor and vulnerable expression, he surely wouldn’t have the heart to be too harsh.

But then...

Gou Huai, without a second thought, blurted out, "Then you should crawl over here first."
