Infinite Strongest G
Seeing Li Hong busy in the kitchen by himself, Lin Ruxian felt a bit embarrassed and asked, "Li Hong, do you want me to lend a hand?"
"No need, I'm afraid you might poison my food."
Li Hong turned around and shot her a glance, saying with a hint of annoyance, "Just call me Li Hong. Stop with the 'Boss' nonsense; it makes others think I have a huge business."
"Come on, aren't you considered a big boss? The revenue from the Goddess Alliance in a month is probably higher than my endorsement fee for an entire year," Lin Ruxian retorted.
Li Hong paused his chopping for a moment before replying, "I know what you're trying to ask indirectly, but I can only tell you that it's a secret. You'll find out what I've been busy with soon enough."
"Can't you just satisfy my curiosity a little?" Lin Ruxian pouted playfully.
Li Hong felt a wave of goosebumps rise all over him; her coy tone was truly off-putting!
"Don't talk to me like that; I can't stand it," Li Hong said impatiently, giving Lin Ruxian a warning look.
"Hmph, you're such a dull man without any sense of romance," Lin Ruxian muttered under her breath.
This was her secret weapon that had always worked in the entertainment industry; any man who encountered her charm would usually surrender willingly. But unexpectedly, she found herself hitting a wall with Li Hong.
However, the more he resisted, the stronger Lin Ruxian's curiosity about him became.
What kind of man was he? Single yet raising an orphaned girl? With Li Hong's qualities, he could easily find a suitable partner. Yet here he was, still single.
Lin Ruxian had to unleash her imagination to speculate on what Li Hong might be thinking.
Does this guy have no luck with women?
She shook her head, quickly dismissing that thought. Li Hong wasn’t the type to stay cooped up at home; he wasn’t bad-looking either, so it was impossible for him to have no appeal to women. Besides, even if he truly lacked charm, with his background, there would be countless gold diggers chasing after him.
After ruling that out, Lin Ruxian soon considered that perhaps Li Hong had some psychological issues. Maybe he was one of those so-called misogynists?
With that thought, Lin Ruxian suddenly felt a deep understanding of Li Hong's previous actions. So this guy is a misogynist? No wonder he was so indifferent towards her, a stunning beauty.
Thus, she no longer found Li Hong's remarks too harsh; instead, she thought he was quite interesting. Here he was, a severe misogynist, yet forced to pretend to be a normal person.
Living like that must be exhausting, right?
“You really don’t need to hide anything. Psychological issues won’t lead to discrimination; I can understand,” Lin Ruxian said sincerely to Li Hong.
Li Hong turned around in surprise and asked, “What? What psychological issues?”
Seeing the look on Li Hong’s face as he tried to cover up after being exposed made Lin Ruxian feel a pang of sympathy.
She lowered her voice and spoke slowly, “We’re at least friends who can talk openly. You don’t need to hide anything in front of me. I’ve heard about misogyny from friends; it’s not a big deal. As long as you seek treatment in time, you don’t need to feel inferior.”
“Misogyny? Me?” Li Hong pointed at himself in disbelief.
At that moment, Li Hong felt like he was on the verge of breaking down. What on earth was Lin Ruxian thinking? He had been enjoying a perfectly normal night; how did it turn into him being labeled as a misogynist?
"What kind of nonsense are you imagining in your head? Am I a misogynist? Sorry, I'm a man who likes women. But honestly, I have no interest in someone like you at all. You can't possibly think I'm a misogynist just because I'm not interested in you, right?" Li Hong shook his head and scoffed.
Lin Ruxian thought this arrogant woman was really overestimating herself. Just because Li Hong wasn't interested in her, she suspected he was a misogynist? It was simply ridiculous. She wasn't some kind of goddess; why should men revolve around her?
"Huh? You're not a misogynist?" Lin Ruxian asked, her face filled with surprise, clearly not believing Li Hong's explanation.
In her eyes, Li Hong's explanation seemed too weak and unconvincing. Moreover, his strong denial resembled that of a misogynist.
This behavior made it hard for Lin Ruxian not to suspect that this guy was indeed a misogynist.
Seeing that Lin Ruxian didn't seem to believe him, Li Hong helplessly said, "Think whatever you want. Anyway, I'm still saying the same thing: I'm perfectly normal, and you don't need to worry about me."
"Really not?" Lin Ruxian asked uncertainly.
At this moment, her inner conviction began to waver. Was it possible that she had misunderstood something about Li Hong?
But if Li Hong wasn't a misogynist, what could explain why he was still alone at his age? It couldn't be...
Coughing lightly, Lin Ruxian quickly stopped her train of thought and shifted her focus back to the matter at hand.
However, in that brief moment of looking up, Lin Ruxian subtly glanced at a certain part of Li Hong's body and thought to herself, "It shouldn't be that area that's the problem, right? Well, I guess only someone incapable would act like this."
Li Hong had no idea that his words had led Lin Ruxian's thoughts down that path. If he knew what she was thinking, he would probably give this crazy woman a good smack on the head right then and there.
This woman was just too annoying.
This was Li Hong's only feeling, and also his strongest one. No matter how coldly he mocked her, Lin Ruxian completely acted as if she hadn't heard a thing, refusing to take her leave.
Gradually, Li Hong gave up on the idea of driving away this annoying presence. One more person was just one more person; after all, it only meant an extra pair of chopsticks.
Li Hong didn't show any good face towards Lin Ruxian, but Yuchen really liked this "pretty sister." In Yuchen's eyes, this sister was beautiful and had a pleasant voice; she adored this big sister.
Of course, a child's affection could never be taken seriously, because you could never guess how many candies it would take to change her mind.
In any case, under Lin Ruxian's candy offensive, Yuchen had long since surrendered. At that moment, Yuchen was already tied to the chariot of this beautiful big deceiver, and even Li Hong found it difficult to say anything about driving Lin Ruxian away.
Li Hong looked at the two beauties happily playing at the kitchen door, a faint smile curving at the corners of his mouth.
What misogyny, what impotence—those were all nonsense. For Li Hong, he wasn't without certain fantasies about love; he too wished for a passionate romance and to find a wife to grow old with. But in the face of reality, Li Hong's beautiful dreams had been completely shattered.
