"Really? I've never heard of that."
"Don't you have some self-awareness?"
Hearing this, Wen Ran laughed.
She didn't argue back but instead boldly defended herself: "Well, I have a mouth, so I can't just keep quiet forever. Besides, if all I ever say to you is 'Mm-hmm,' wouldn't that be boring? Do you like boring women?"
"No, I don't."
"Well, there you go."
Fu Chenlie chuckled lightly at first, then followed her train of thought: "So, according to your logic, arguing with me is your way of getting me to like you?"
She immediately denied it: "I wouldn't say I'm that farsighted. It's just that sometimes you're too overbearing. And some things you say to me—I respond to them, and that's completely normal. But when you're upset, you think I'm arguing or talking back. I don't really have any defense for that."
