"Which world are you from?"

Oops, I let it slip by accident.

"I had my fortune told when I was a kid, and the fortune teller said, 'This girl should only exist in heaven.' I am a fairy, so I can't be from the same world as you mortals."

"Oh, really?" Li Shenzhi turned the red wine glass in his hand, "That's a coincidence. I also had my fortune told when I was a child, and the fortune teller said, 'This boy is definitely not from this world,' so we should be from the same hometown."

Gu Ranle's mouth twitched violently.

"Ha, ha ha... Really? That's such a coincidence!"

"Come on, come on, fellow countryman," she raised her teacup generously, "Let's drink this cup!"

She drank it down in one gulp.

On the other hand, Li Shenzhi raised his glass gently with a smile on his face, and then sipped it elegantly.

It was just a joke, and the matter of the slip of the tongue was put behind us for now.

After having a good meal, Gu Ranle stood up and said, "It's getting late. I need to go back and rest."

"Please think about getting married." Li Shenzhi's voice came from behind.

Gu Ranle waved her hand without even turning her head, "Not considering it."

"I will never restrict your freedom after marriage."

Gu Ranle pursed her lips, stopped, and looked back at him.

"You might as well say that the wedding will be in three months, in name only, and sell me Villa No. 6 and your collection of liquor. Then maybe I will consider it."

Li Shenzhi shook his head, "I have no intention of getting a divorce, and I have no intention of being in name only. Since we are husband and wife, we should naturally do what husband and wife should do, can do, and will do."

"Ah?" Gu Ranle was really surprised and found it interesting. She simply returned to the table and sat down. "So, you still want to have another child?"

Li Shenzhi answered seriously: "Having children is good, but if not, I won't force it. Let everything take its course."

"What a good way to let nature take its course."

Gu Ranle's eyes looked him up and down, finally stopping at the middle of his body.

"I'm asking something I shouldn't ask. Please don't be angry. I'm just purely curious."

"If you know you shouldn't ask, why do you still ask?"

"Like I said, I'm curious!"

"curiosity kills the cat."

"That's okay, I'm a human, not a cat."

Gu Ranle stared at his position, rubbed her hands, and asked with a smile: "Dear ex-fiancé——"

For some reason, whenever Li Shenzhi heard her call him like that, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and at the same time he had a bad feeling.

"Are you sure that thing of yours can work?"

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point and spread rapidly, freezing thousands of miles.

The sea was silent.

The moonlight penetrated the clouds and fell onto the cruise ship, coating everything in a hazy silver color.

Li Shenzhi sat at the dining table with the same expression as before, turning the red wine glass gracefully with one hand. The red liquid in the glass slowly rose along the wall of the glass and then slowly fell.

That shade of red was rich and deep, just like his mood at the moment, hidden beneath a calm appearance, but containing endless thoughts and complex emotions.

"Gu Ranle."

His voice was low and calm, yet it carried a power that could not be ignored.

The tail note quickly spread in the air, carrying with it an indescribable feeling, as if it wanted to break something, but also with a sense of powerlessness.

"Hmm?" Gu Ranle stared at that part of his body intently, "You talk, I'm listening."

She had no idea that she was about to face a disaster, nor did she even notice the change in the atmosphere around her.

"Do you know what the consequences are if you question a man's behavior?"

"Ah? Ah!"

Gu Ranle looked away, turned to look at him, and said seriously:

"You misunderstood. I didn't doubt your ability. I was simply curious whether it could be used. Whether it can be used or not is two different things."

Li Shenzhi laughed in anger, "You may not believe me if I say it can be used. Since you are so curious, why don't you--"

"I believe it, why not?"

Gu Ranle interrupted him before he could finish his vicious words.

"There are rumors out there that you are inhumane, and you don't even try to dispel them. We've been divorced for so many years, and you've even practiced abstaining from women to the extreme. How can you get what you want?"

"How could a family as rich as yours allow an heir to be unable to carry on the family line?"

"Now you should know why your father has never been willing to hand over the real power of the company to you no matter how hard you have worked for so many years, right?"

“It is admirable to work hard towards a goal, but you have to find the right direction, otherwise it will be a waste of effort. In the end, you may end up making wedding clothes for others.”

【Ding dong! 】

As he was speaking, a sound suddenly rang in his head, scaring Gu Ranle.

【Favorability +50】

[Host’s current favorability: -50%]

Gu Ranle: “…”

Are you crazy? This can increase favorability?

It seems that what he lacks is not a wife, but an emotional mentor!

So if she just keeps talking to him for another hour, can she complete the task tonight?

[Woman, you are really capable! You even fooled me! You kept saying you gave up on the strategy, but it turns out you were just playing hard to get! ]

[Just keep going this way, I believe it won’t be long before you can successfully take down your Aunt Li. Come on! I’m counting on you!]

"Shut your bitch!"

When she said she gave up, she really gave up.

Even though she later found out that she had misunderstood him and Song Yu, she never thought about improving her favorability.

She figured it out. As a living person, how could she let the dog system control her life?

Even if she only has a few dozen days left to live, she will live to her heart's content! Live with dignity!

She rolled her eyes a few times and rubbed her hands, "Tell me the truth, Aunt Li, do you like me?"

"Snapped!"

The red wine glass slipped out of Li Shenzhi's hand at some point, fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"Gu Ranle," his voice was three parts threatening, three parts cold, and four parts indifferent, "Aunt Li not only likes you, Aunt Li loves you even more."

【Ding dong! 】

[Favorability-50]

[Host’s current favorability: -100%]

Gu Ranle: “…”

She knew that a decision should not be easily shaken, otherwise unstable blood pressure could lead to serious consequences.

"There's no need for love. I can't bear it. As for my question just now, just treat it as a fart. Don't take it to heart."

She stood up and waved her hand coolly, "I'm leaving now."

When Li Shen passed by, he grabbed her wrist accurately.

She stopped and grabbed his wrist with her backhand, her fingers resting on his pulse as if unintentionally, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to let me go?"

"See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Don't even think about getting married. It's useless to think about it. I can lend you any money you need."

"If you don't want Song Yu to get into trouble, you'd better not be late."

Gu Ranle chuckled, "Threatening me?"

Li Shenzhi had a blank expression on his face, "You can think so."

"Li Shenzhi," Gu Ranle smiled, pinching his wrist and pressing him into the wheelchair, leaning over and getting closer to him, "Let me tell you, so far, there is nothing in this world that can be my weakness, but you..."

She let go of his hand and turned to leave, taking a few steps before stopping.

"If you are sick, get treatment. Don't delay."
