The president always wants to steal my sweet potato

Mu Liangting stood quietly by and suddenly felt a chill. He just shook himself when he was pulled away by Mu Yaqi.

Mu Liangting was caught off guard and almost fell down, but was caught steadily by Mu Yaqi.

Mu Yaqi pushed him into the seat and accidentally sat next to Lu Chengfeng.

Mu Yaqi clapped her hands in satisfaction, then walked to the other side of Lu Chengfeng and sat down.

Mu Liangting: "......"

Seeing this, Mu Yaqi asked, "What's that expression on your face?"

Mu Liangting replied perfunctorily: "No expression."

Mu Yaqi snorted softly. Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng shook his head gently at her and said soothingly, "It's okay. Second brother is just not used to it."

Mu Yaqi then calmed down a little and said, "Okay."

Mu Liangting inexplicably felt that Lu Chengfeng's actions were very much like the remarks of a green tea lover.

He decided to stop talking from now on, so as to avoid being blamed by Lu Chengfeng again, which would cause Mu Yaqi to cause trouble for him again.

After everyone sat down, they had a relatively pleasant meal. The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed as they talked and laughed.

Of course, it was not pleasant for Mu Liangting, but apart from feeling a little disgusted, that was nothing special.

After dinner, before anyone could ask Lu Chengfeng anything, Mu Yaqi pulled him to the backyard.

The bright night sky was dotted with stars. Mu Yaqi and Lu Chengfeng strolled in the corridor in the backyard. The breeze was blowing, and a few wisps of fragrance drifted by, refreshing their noses.

Soon, they came to a small yard with a relatively large swing chair in the corner.

The white hanging chair is carved with curling patterns, the ceiling above is decorated with colorful flowers, and warm yellow neon lights are on all around.

Lu Chengfeng said: "I remember there used to be a small swing chair here, but it has been replaced."

Mu Yaqi looked over and said, "The previous one was the one I sat on when I was a kid. It's too small now, so I replaced it with this big one."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "That's where I first met you."

Mu Yaqi was a little surprised: "Here?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "Well, here, you had two pigtails at the time, and the pink bunny overalls made you look very cute, and anyone who saw you would be happy."

Mu Yaqi's curiosity surged, and she asked, "When did you start to like me?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at her and said ambiguously: "The first time I saw you."

Mu Yaqi asked, "First time? Was it the first time when you were a child, or the first time I picked you up last time?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "No matter which time, I will fall in love with you over and over again."

Mu Yaqi looked at him steadily. After a while, she hesitated and asked, "Love?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness, and said, "Well. Liking is not the same as loving."

Mu Yaqi asked casually: "What's the difference?"

Lu Chengfeng explained: "Liking is asking for something, and loving is responsibility. It's a very simple truth. For example, if your favorite color is cyan—"

Mu Yaqi interrupted him: "How do you know I like cyan?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled, followed her and changed the subject for the time being, and said: "So, do you like it?"

Mu Yaqi nodded and said, "I like it, but how did you know? Who told you?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Yes, there is one person."

Mu Yaqi instantly became alert: "Who?"

Lu Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said gently, "It's you."

Mu Yaqi opened her eyes wide in disbelief, frowned, and asked in surprise: "Ah?"

Lu Chengfeng said frankly: "You said it yourself when you were a child."

Mu Yaqi raised her eyebrows, then looked at him leisurely, motioning him to continue.

Lu Chengfeng continued, "When you were a child, you said that you liked the color cyan, but I didn't know if you still like it now, so I used cyan as an analogy. But since you asked me that just now, it means that you still like cyan now, am I right?"

Mu Yaqi nodded: "I do still like cyan now."

Mu Yaqi asked: "Then do you know why I like cyan?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "You told the outside world that you think cyan is more melancholy than blue, which is a more literary statement. But I know that you just think it is more refreshing and has nothing to do with melancholy."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yaqi couldn't help but be surprised and said, "You know all this! How much did I tell you when we were little?! We were so close back then?!"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and continued, "You also said that most people think girls should like pink and boys should like blue. You don't agree with this statement. What a person likes should not be defined by worldly eyes. It will make you narrow-minded. But the blue tone is too cold, so you prefer cyan, and it happens to make you feel fresh."

Mu Yaqi was so shocked that she couldn't be more shocked. Knowing this much, it was no longer just a simple "meeting" between them. They were simply her confidants!

Xia Silan doesn’t even know about this!

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "I am honored that I knew you well enough back then that I would not be clueless about you now."

She couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else that you think I liked before and still like now?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled gently and said, "You like to sleep in. After so many years, you still like to sleep in."

Mu Yaqi: “???”

Mu Yaqi hurriedly said, "Stop, say something nice. Also, how did you think of using the color cyan as a metaphor?"

Lu Chengfeng coaxed gently: "This doesn't sound bad."

Mu Yaqi waved her hand and said, "I reluctantly accept your flattery, but don't say anything like this for now. Thank you for your cooperation."

Lu Chengfeng smiled dotingly and said, “Okay.”

He took a breath and narrated slowly: "You like to grow flowers, and you still like to grow flowers. You like to eat a lot of delicious food, and you still do the same now. No matter where you go, you will pay attention to food first. So I think you like cyan, and you should still like cyan now, so I used it as a metaphor. If it weren't for-"

Mu Yaqi continued: "If not, it's just a metaphor. If it is, then you can further understand my current preferences-"

Interest welled up in her heart, and she looked at him with admiration: "Are all you men so good at manipulating people's hearts?"

Lu Chengfeng still said gently: "I can't answer you this question. I can only tell you that not all men can do this, but there are some who can do it, and I happen to be one of them. But I can only do this to you."

Mu Yaqi raised her eyebrows and deliberately asked, "So you are deliberately trying to control me?"

Lu Chengfeng said humbly and sincerely: "I admit that there is some such element in it. This is my selfishness. But you are worthy of my careful understanding. This is my duty to become your lover."

Mu Yaqi nodded: "Okay, I almost thought you had impure intentions."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "My purpose is very pure. From the beginning to the end, the only person I want is you."

Mu Yaqi asked puzzledly: "You originally have so much money, and you also have your own life. If you are with me, you have to accommodate me first and ask for my opinion. Don't you feel that you are not free?"

Lu Chengfeng said seriously: "I think love is a matter between two people. A good partner can make life more interesting. Love is a spiritual fit and a resonance of souls. If two people like this are together, they will not feel unfree, but will only feel happier. I believe and promise you that our future lives will be better."

Mu Yaqi was confused for a moment by his sudden promise, then she looked away somewhat unnaturally and said, "Okay, I'll just believe you."

Lu Chengfeng thought with some amusement: "He said one thing and meant another."

Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and asked, "By the way, when you said 'Are all men so good at controlling people', did you mean...are there other men who want to win your favor?"

The implication is that he is asking if there are any other rivals in love.

Mu Yaqi played hard to get and said, "What if I said yes?"

When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he knew that she didn't.

Looking at her expression, you can tell that she is teasing him on purpose. She is always so simple and innocent and has never changed over the years.

But he just thought of this possibility, and he would always mind it to some extent. It would be a lie to say that he didn't mind it at all, but he couldn't interfere in her life.

Lu Chengfeng said gently: "That only shows that my wife is so charming that people can't help but get close to you."

Mu Yaqi keenly noticed that he changed the wording to "my wife", which clearly showed that he cared.

Mu Yaqi asked again: "What if I say that no one wants to please me? Does that mean I'm not very attractive?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and coaxed, "Of course not. If no man wants to get close to you and win your favor, it means that they think you are too good, and they know that they are not worthy of you, so they don't get close to you."

Mu Yaqi asked with interest: "What about you?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "I think you know the answer to this question better than I do. My subjective judgment is not as accurate as your evaluation."

Mu Yaqi smiled and said, "Indeed, you are very outstanding, and I admire you very much. You meet my imagination of a partner."

Lu Chengfeng said gently: "Thank you for your recognition, Madam. I will behave well and will not let other men attract your attention."

Mu Yaqi saw the light in his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. She looked away and said, "You are already very good, don't underestimate yourself."

Lu Chengfeng smiled.

Mu Yaqi changed the subject: "Go on, you just said that liking is different from loving. For example, I like the color cyan, then what?"
