176 A Crush

Long Xin felt her mouth fall open when she heard what Ru had to say. She guessed that she should have not been shocked since they knew each other so well. Not everyone was 'silly' as he brother, unaware of the feelings of a person. And Ru Long was someone more perceptive and observant than the rest. 

But she would not give him the satisfaction of gloating at her expense. Raising an eyebrow, she snapped back,"Well, actually your issues far outweighed your attraction which is why I quickly crushed that crush. See, you are handsome, smart, caring, perceptive. Basically everything that a woman would want. But I know you better Ru Long. You are also manipulative and your secrets are more heavily guarded than the Gringotts Bank. And, I, for one did not have the patience like Rou Rou had for Min Min. I'd rather you come to me of your free will than to make you feel any pressure."

"I'm glad that you decided to not pursue me. I would have folded, you know."
