<h4>Chapter 608: Chapter 608: The Soulless Puppet</h4><h4></h4>


    "Lin Fan, you’ve had enough, you’ve destroyed all my pride, shattered all my self-esteem, why on earth are you doing this!"


    Su Yufei’s tears flowed non-stop as she looked at him with a face full of grievance, "I said, just tell me what you want, I can be whatever you like. If you think me being the Queen is dirty, I can stop doing that kind of thing. Why are you still ying with me? Is sleeping with me really that difficult?"


    "Of course not."


    Lin Fan, gripping the steering wheel, took two tissues from the box and handed them to Su Yufei.


    "Then why do you run away, why make me aughingstock... I’ve never been such a failure in my life!"


    Taking the tissues, Su Yufei continued to stare directly at Lin Fan, but he just smiled and said, "Hasn’t Boss Qi taught you, to never go against a man’s wishes? Even if you want to stab him with a knife, you still have to maintain politeness. Like, even though you hate me to death, you still take the tissues I give you. Any of my ex-girlfriends would have pped my hand away under such circumstances."


    "Is it wrong... to be polite?"


    Su Yufei looked at the tissues in her hand and then at Lin Fan.


    "Being polite isn’t wrong, but at least I can feel that she is a living person, with her own temperament, her own personality, and her own thoughts. Even if they are naive or impulsive, at least they are autonomous individuals, not products manipted by others, an empty puppet without self."


    Lin Fan nced at Su Yufei, "Just because of a word from Boss Qi, you are ready to give yourself to someone you barely know, just because of so-called training, you think marrying someone with potential is the definition of a sessful life? Don’t you find that absurd?"


    "Even if it’s absurd, at least life will befortable. Is it wrong to pursue a material life? Are you saying I should just marry a penniless man and suffer with him my whole life? Am I supposed to believe that all my years of hard study were just to be a woman entirely dependent on someone else?"


    Educated as she was, Su Yufei could ensure substantial logical analysis even while arguing.


    "You’re not wrong, both your appearance and your inner qualities are absolutely outstanding. Naturally, you have the right and the means to find a better man. After all, hard work deserves rewarding, that’s an efficient approach. But the problem is, choosing me wasn’t your instinct; it was what others told you to do, and you just went along with it. Isn’t that being a puppet?"


    Lin Fan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, then opened the car window.


    "But my mother wouldn’t lie to me, you are indeed outstanding with limitless prospects, so naturally being your woman is the best choice. What’s wrong with that? Should I not listen to others and follow only my heart? Haven’t you seen many Mommy’s Girls? Those who follow their hearts recklessly end up fixed in the lowest strata of society, with no chance for a better life."


    Su Yufei, stubborn as she was, naturally wouldn’t ept Lin Fan’s exnations; after all, years of training had cemented her thinking beyond change.


    "What you said isn’t wrong either, sumbing to one’s whims is different from following one’s heart. You’re only citing extreme cases. Moreover, I’m not here to argue with you, I’m just pointing out that you’ve be a Mommy’s Girl. Whatever your mom says, you do, and that’s the final word. So if we were really together and your mom suddenly told you to hurt me, would you?"


    Lin Fan looked at Su Yufei, who stubbornly said, "That’s impossible, she would never harm you."


    "I’m asking what if, dare you entertain that possibility? You don’t because you entrust everything to others. You would obey your mother’s words without question, so why would I ce a rtionship in the hands of a third party, isn’t that a choice a sick person would make?"


    Lin Fan flicked the cigarette butt out the window, then closed it. In the sealed space, only the sound of their breathing remained.


    "But Boss Qi would absolutely not harm you!"


    Su Yufei tried hard to argue but couldn’t speak the whole truth.


    "She’s not my mother; why would she not harm me? In the face of sufficient interest, couples can turn against each other, parent and child cane to blows, why wouldn’t a stranger? So don’t be too naive. You go back and tell Boss Qi straight, not sleeping with me isn’t such a big deal. Tell her to give up the idea, say, ’I refuse to be a puppet in her hands unless it’s she who’s setting up the honey trap, then maybe I’ll consider it.’"


    Lin Fan looked at the odometer; he only needed four more hours to return to Jiangning City, and the person he wanted to meet was naturally Huo Ben, who was soon to be released. No doubt he was eager to see Lin Fan.


    "Right now, I can’t even face my mother... I might as well be dead!"


    Just when Lin Fan was calm and collected, Su Yufei, in the passenger seat, suddenly unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to leap out of the moving car. That was way too extreme.
