However, Su Anya felt she was treated unfairly, so she complained. “Peihan, don’t be so aggressive. Men don’t like that.”
However, she was just joking.
“I haven’t decided whether to get married or not yet. I don’t think it’s bad to stay single. I can do whatever I want. I feel free when I’m single,” said Chu Peihan. Although she felt like that now, she might change her mind in the future. She just hadn’t met a man who could steal her heart.
Even if she met her Mr. Right and they got together, she wouldn’t change herself for him. It was hard to change one’s character.
Chu Peihan understood that Su Anya was joking, but she was very serious. If a man couldn’t accept her character, she wouldn’t be together with him. She might have a quick temper, but she was reasonable and wouldn’t cause unnecessary trouble.
Han Chenglin, however, was disappointed when he heard her reply. She hadn’t decided to get married or not yet? He was surprised to hear that she enjoyed being single.

“Because it’s a cruel society. I read so much news about irresponsible and violent men. Women, however, are asked to be perfect. We must give birth to kids and raise them. We have to do housework and take care of the old. We’re not even allowed to live with our own parents after we get married. I know there are good men and bad women, but it’s too hard to find a good man. I don’t know what man I’ll meet. After all, most bad men only show their real color after getting married. I’m not weak, and I’ll surely pay the man back if he dares to hurt me after marriage, but it doesn’t seem worth it, so I think it’s not bad to stay single,” said Chu Peihan. She saw through today’s society.
Hearing that, Han Chenglin suddenly didn’t know what to say. After all, what Chu Peihan said wasn’t uncommon in today’s society. Once men got rich, they could easily go bad and cheat on their wives.
Most rich men kept mistresses although they were already married. However, Han Chenglin wasn’t one of them.
In his family, his father and third uncle were good men, on the other hand, his second uncle married a mistress. Because of that, his second uncle was never welcome in their family. His second uncle was even chased out by his grandmother to live outside. The Han family was a large family with multiple generations, but they lived together.
Besides, they didn’t allow Han Chenglin’s second uncle’s current wife to visit the Han family’s mansion, unless his grandmother wanted to see her for something serious or when it was a festival.
Han Chenglin’s grandmother still allowed them to see her because his second uncle was her son after all, and it didn’t cause a big sensation back then. The Han family hadn’t been humiliated, and outsiders all thought that Han Chenglin’s second uncle got a divorce before marrying again.
Anyway, it wasn’t important.
“I know there are many terrible men nowadays, but there are a lot of good men too! You said you don’t know what kind of man you’ll meet so you’ll instead choose to stay single. I think you’re simply terrified to give it a try,” said Han Chenglin. He said that to challenge Chu Peihan, because he didn’t want her to be determined to stay single. If she made up her mind to stay single, how could he chase her and make her his girlfriend?
“I’m terrified? I’m not a coward.” Chu Peihan was dissatisfied when Han Chenglin said that to her.
“Since you’re not terrified, why don’t you have a try? Don’t tell me you don’t want to waste time or energy. It’s just an excuse. Life is full of challenges. You’ll never know if it’s worth it unless you try,” said Han Chenglin. He tried to encourage Chu Peihan to be positive.
“Well, let me ask you a question. Are there more good men than bad men in your life? Do you trust them? Of course, there is no perfect person in this world. Everyone has shortcomings. If a man isn’t violent or disloyal, if he cherishes what his wife does for the family, if he’s the breadwinner, if he loves his wife, do you think he’s a good man. Can your male friends do that?” Han Chenglin asked.
Chu Peihan didn’t answer his question right away, but pondered over his words.
She didn’t know whether her male friends could do that, but she believed that they could, so she said honestly, “I don’t know whether they can do that, because they’re all unmarried, but given my knowledge of them, I believe they can. At least, they’re not terrible men.”
“Since you believe they can do it, why have you lost confidence in men?” asked Han Chenglin.

“Hey, why are you suddenly becoming so serious? I’ll think about it after I meet someone I like.” Chu Peihan wanted to change the topic. She just said that, and didn’t really mean to stay single forever.
Hearing that, Han Chenglin felt more disappointed, because it meant that he wasn’t the man she wanted.

After that, they dropped the topic.
After driving Su Anya home, Han Chenglin sent Chu Peihan home.
Before he left, Han Chenglin was afraid that Chu Peihan might forget to dine with him tomorrow, so he reminded her. “Don’t forget that I’m buying you a meal tomorrow.”
“Sure,” said Chu Peihan, then walked away without looking back.
“Chenglin, do you like Miss Chu?” his assistant asked.
“How did you see that?” Han Chenglin asked. He didn’t deny it, which meant he admitted it.
“I saw it with both of my eyes. Anyway, you treat her differently,” said the assistant. If he couldn’t see it, he wouldn’t have asked that question.
Han Chenglin said nothing, and his assistant stopped asking about it. However, he believed that Han Chenglin had special feelings for Chu Peihan.
Unfortunately, given Chu Peihan’s reactions, she obviously felt nothing for Han Chenglin.. The assistant wondered whether she was aware of Han Chenglin’s feelings for her.
