Chapter 446 Not Even as Good as a Spare Tire

"Do whatever you guys want, but can you even have kids?"

Nangong Huang had said this more than once, and though his words were crass, his logic wasn't flawed.

It wasn't just Nangong Huang who thought this way—almost everyone who knew the real relationship between Hong Feifei and Ding Jing, including Suming, shared this view. Huaxia didn't allow same-sex marriage, and these two girls couldn't possibly have a child together. No matter what they did, it was nothing but a fool's errand with no real prospects.

Ding Jing had been acting strange from the start today. Suming sensed something was about to happen, so when she put on a bizarre expression and seriously said "Do me a favor," Suming's first reaction was: monkey business!

Indeed, what else could he help with, being a man himself? If it really came down to monkey business, then these two girls might actually stay together for life, although it would still be a very strange arrangement.

But the question was, who would be the one to do it?

Suming stroked his chin, turning around and examining Ding with great interest from a table away.

He had always seen her as a tough woman, treating her no more than a regular friend, leaving him with an impression of competence, which had overshadowed her other characteristics. Now, looking at her from a different angle, carefully, it turned out Ding was full of feminine charm and well-maintained, with moist and smooth skin, and not a wrinkle on her face.

At the age of thirty, like a peony in full bloom, she was at the time when a woman is most enchanting. Compared to a bashful young girl, both in terms of temperament and body curves, although she lacked the aura of youth, she exuded a thick scent of seduction.

Speaking crudely but truthfully, when men first lay eyes on a young girl in her early twenties, they're filled with an urge to engage in a romantic relationship; but when they look at a woman Ding's age, they instinctively want to have a passionate fling with her...

And Ding Jing was definitely not just a beautiful mature woman who could stir up lust; years of struggle in society had given her a certain refined beauty; and the identity and background of a corporate boss and businesswoman aroused a man's desire to conquer.

The only trouble was, Ding was a bit old for having kids, considered an older mother.@@@@

As for Hong Feifei, her age was just right.

This beautiful chef normally wielded a kitchen knife with the air of a haughty little queen, but just now in front of Ding, she looked like a naive and well-behaved little loli... The so-called "gap moe" was tremendously stimulating for men, making one unable to resist the urge to dote on her...

Even my own ideas are more radical and open-minded. If I really had a monkey, this problem would be completely solved.

"No way!" Suming rejected flatly.

"Why?" Ding Jing frowned, her annoyance clear, "Do you think Feifei is not good enough for you? Or... you... you can be my boyfriend instead!"

"That's also out of the question!" Suming shook his head a second time. "I never act as a cover, a fake that's even worse than being a spare tire."

Ding Jing hesitated, as if making a big decision, and said firmly, "Apart from not actually being in a relationship, I'll... I'll try to accommodate you in public... whatever you request, I... I will also..."

"You've misunderstood me!" Suming interrupted Ding Jing. "I already have a girlfriend, a real girlfriend."

"It's just pretending, not really dating Feifei," Ding Jing said.

"Pretending is also a no-go. If my girlfriend found out, she'd be heartbroken," Suming replied with a frown.

If the roles were reversed and Nangong said she'd pretend to be someone's girlfriend to help out a friend, I might pretend to be generous on the surface, but I'd definitely not feel good about it inside.

Plus, girls are more meticulous in their thinking, different from men. If it were me, I'd just be unhappy, but if it were Nangong, who knows what she would think, how hurt she would be.

"Are you that indulgent with your girlfriend? Don't you have any male pride left?" Ding Jing huffed.

"Mr. Ding, provocation won't work on me. Even if you call me a coward, I won't do it," Suming said.

Her scheming exposed, Ding Jing could only offer an apologetic smile, "Then just don't let her know about it."

Suming chuckled and looked off into the distance at the lake, as if talking to himself, "You don't know the past between my girlfriend and me. She was with me all the way when I was at my lowest. Back when I couldn't find a job and was almost out of a place to live, when the temperature in my dorm had soared above forty degrees and even my best buddy Wang Hao had gone home, she came to see me and keep me company nearly every day. I hardly paid her any attention back then, and even when many decent men pursued her, she never gave them the time of day, considering my feelings to the point of making things awkward for them. And now, even though she often throws tantrums in front of me, I know in my heart that she sees me as her one and only, the mountain in her heart that she can rely on..."

Suming turned to look at Ding Jing and asked calmly, "Mr. Ding, you're a woman too. Tell me honestly, if now that I've made some money, instead of trying my hardest to protect her, I go and hurt her, could you still respect me?"
