"But I don't think it's necessary," Zhixi declined without hesitation. "I'm not in that frame of mind right now."
Yichen laughed, "No, you do need this."
"I…"
"At least until your father's business deal is successfully concluded, you need this. If not me, then someone else. Compared to any random stranger, you'd prefer it to be me, right?" Yichen explained with a smile.
Zhixi bit her lip, realizing she had no comeback.
Her father also said that he was about to secure the exclusive rights to a new energy resource. At such a critical moment, it would be better not to make unnecessary complications.
Since President Zhuo insisted on setting her up with someone, it was indeed better it be Yichen rather than anyone else.
"If you really are averse to it, just think of it as acting," Yichen sighed with a helpless smile, seeing her hesitation. "Am I really that repulsive?"
"No… you're right," Zhixi was persuaded. "What should I do?"
