Chapter 74

"Seriously, you can't be telling me you fell for him just because he's handsome, right?"

After the two of them had a bit of a playful tussle, Wu Cheng asked his niece Wu Shulan.

Wu Shulan fell silent, pondering for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's his bright, genuine smile that makes me feel very comfortable! You know, in our family... forget it, I just feel that his smile is very sunny, and I have a bit of a good feeling about him."

"Really, just a bit of a good feeling?" Wu Cheng didn't believe it, "But I thought someone was acting like a love-struck fan just now! If you were an ordinary girl, it would be understandable, but you're a strong woman! It doesn't match your usual style at all!"

"Do I have to put on airs and speak in a certain tone when I face a boy I like, to be called a queen?" Wu Shulan pouted, "It's only with you, Uncle, that I talk like this. Usually, we just mess around, which is a way to relax. I wouldn't do this with anyone else! Of course, I'm also very curious about Uncle's analytical skills!"

Wu Cheng smiled, "Observing someone's character through their words and actions isn't strange. There are studies in psychology about this! As the old saying goes, 'Three years old, and you can see the future; seven years old, and you can see the old age,' which shows that there is psychological research in our country..."

"Alright! Let's continue the previous topic!" Wu Shulan smiled, brushing her hair from her forehead, "If he really proposes to me after dating for a while, as you said, what should I do? Although I have a bit of a good feeling about him, I haven't thought about getting married so early! And how can I know if he's a good person just from dating for a while!"

"You really dare to think that way. I said, he might not like your type!"

Wu Shulan shrugged, "I'm just discussing with you how to handle a sudden confession or proposal from a boy. You know, it's not strange for this to happen to me!"

"You're so conceited!" Wu Cheng mocked her, laughing.

"What can I do? I'm naturally beautiful and a queen!"

Wu Cheng pouted, then smiled, "How did you handle it before?"

"Well... I just rejected them directly! After all, I didn't like them."

"You've never met a boy you liked? That's not scientific!"

"The ones I liked didn't necessarily like me!"

"I see!" Wu Cheng chuckled, "You're not telling me you confessed to someone and got rejected, right! Hahaha..."

"Go away! Talk or not! We can't have a proper conversation!"

"Alright, alright! It's not that difficult!" Wu Cheng stopped mocking and said seriously, "If you don't like someone and don't want to drag it out, just reject them directly. Better to end the pain quickly, right! But if you like them, it's even more straightforward. This is a rare situation; of course, if you like them but aren't ready to accept them, you can only drag it out."

Wu Cheng smiled slightly and continued, "If the person is as sensitive and delicate as Rong Shao, you can't reject them directly. Even if you really don't want to, you can't be too blunt, or you might hurt them. Of course, this doesn't apply to you, as you become a love-struck fan in front of him!"

"You're asking for a beating!"

"Don't hit me, be gentle! Rong Shao likes gentle women!" Wu Cheng laughed, "If you're not ready, you can only drag it out, but don't let him scare you away. It's best to tell him you need some time, to give both of you some time to think. After all, marriage is a sacred thing."

"What if he doesn't give me time?"

"That's simple, get engaged first, then talk about love!"

"..."

Wu Shulan looked at Wu Cheng with admiration, blinking her eyes, "Uncle, I think you could be a relationship expert! How do you know so much about men and women?"

Wu Cheng looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, putting on a typical show-off pose. But in reality, his heart was bleeding: Damn! If Uncle were really a love expert, he wouldn't have been a bachelor in his previous life! All this is just experience summarized from movies and novels, theoretical knowledge!

Of course, Wu Cheng would never say such a face-losing thing.

"Alright, I'm going back. I still have to write a novel for you! Think carefully about whether you really like him. But I think he's a good person, and if you really want to pursue him, I fully support you!" Wu Cheng smiled, "I'm planning to make him a big star. His future achievements are limitless, so you need to be mentally prepared!"

"Uncle, you're really a mystic!"

Wu Cheng laughed, "In ten years, let's look back at what I said today!"

"Sure! In ten years, we'll see today!" Wu Shulan smiled, "Do you need me to see you off?"

"Let me teach you one more thing, go help him sell jeans!" Wu Cheng laughed, "If he asks about your identity, just tell him directly. If he finds it strange, say you just want to try something new and see how it feels to run a street stall!"

Wu Cheng thought that if she really got along with Rong Shao, it might not be a bad thing.

"Will it work?"

"That depends on whether you dare!" Wu Cheng laughed, "Remember, don't hide anything about your identity from him. If you hide it, he'll feel you look down on him; if you lie, he'll feel you're not trustworthy. If that happens, you won't have a chance! He's a very serious and pure person, and such people are often very stubborn. Of course, if you can make him feel that you're very genuine, that would be best!"

"Uncle, do you know the personalities of the three future aunts you're pursuing so well?"

Wu Shulan suddenly threw a curveball, leaving Wu Cheng speechless and walking away.

We can't chat anymore!

"Stingy!" Wu Shulan wrinkled her nose, then smiled, "Uncle, don't mess it up! It's dangerous, three monks have no water to drink!"

Wu Cheng almost fell over, what's this all about! Monks and water!

...

Wu Cheng didn't expect that while he was writing a novel at home, Wu Shulan really went to help Zhang Guorong with his street stall. When a woman is in love, no one can understand her actions!

Not even Wu Cheng!

Faced with Zhang Guorong's surprise, Wu Shulan frankly said she wanted to try running a street stall.

After chatting, they both realized that they both came from good families, and Wu Shulan was now a very successful female journalist. Who could imagine that such a strong woman would be willing to run a street stall with him! She didn't care about her reputation at all!

"Alan, is it really okay for you to do this? What if it's in the news tomorrow?"

Faced with Zhang Guorong's concern, Wu Shulan giggled, "Who would believe that the boss of a newspaper would be running a street stall with you here! Don't worry, it'll be fine. But you, aren't you afraid of being seen as a rich kid running a night stall?"

Zhang Guorong laughed, "I'm running a stall to be independent, not to rely on my family. It's completely different from you, who's here for a thrill!"

"Since you want to be independent, why did you hesitate when my uncle invited you to act in a movie?" Wu Shulan smiled and asked.

"This is a big decision in life! I need to think carefully!" Zhang Guorong smiled, then said seriously, "I think if you really decide to do something, you should do it well. But I don't even know how to act, so I can't just agree to anything."

"Don't worry about that! My uncle wouldn't invite you if he didn't have a way to handle it." Wu Shulan smiled, "Don't underestimate my uncle. He's young, but he's very capable! When my newspaper was almost out of business, he gave some advice and brought it back to life, now it's even catching up with the top three newspapers."

"Boss, how much are these jeans?"

"Very cheap, ten dollars each!"

After selling a pair of jeans, they chatted again, "Alan, what kind of person is your uncle? I feel like... he seems to know me very well."

Wu Shulan giggled, covering her mouth, then said, "He's mysterious and powerful, like nothing can stop him. If you get to know him, you'll still think he's very capable, but not so mysterious, because many things are predictable to him. For example, you..."

"Me? What did he see in me?"

"From the moment you introduced your jeans to us, he analyzed and said you're very meticulous, serious, and stubborn. But you're also very kind and pure, a very good friend, and you won't betray anyone..."

"He can see all that? He's really amazing!" Zhang Guorong sighed, "If I didn't know he's in the entertainment industry, I'd think he was a fortune-teller!"

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..." Wu Shulan laughed, "That's right! Sometimes I think he has a bit of a mystic quality, but when I think about what he says, it makes a lot of sense. He also said that if you're willing, he wants to make you a superstar and that your future achievements are limitless. I didn't believe it at first, but he told me to look back in ten years!"

"Is that so!" Zhang Guorong smiled, "I'm looking forward to it too. If I really go into acting, I'll look back in ten years and see what happens!"

"Does that mean you're going to agree?"

"A man will die for a true friend!"

"..."
