Lin Yan felt a wave of relief washing over her as she trudged on with determination. âI mean... I lied about being in love with you and stalking you... That wasnât the case... I donât know you at all... I first met you when I woke up on the bed in your mansion...â
Pei Yuchengâs expression appeared as peaceful and serene as the surface of the ocean. He surveyed the girl intently as he asked, âWhy did you agree to be with me?â
Lin Yan pouted and sighed. âTo stay alive... I disrespected you repeatedly. There was no way you would forgive me despite how good-tempered you are. I was afraid that my other consciousness would continue to do things to offend you. If I became your girlfriend, it wouldnât pose a problem. Hence, I decided to make the best of the situation. Iâm really terribly sorry... Itâs all my fault...â
Pei Yuchengâs fingers tapped the table rhythmically. âYou fell head over heels in love with me... You canât stop thinking about me...â
When Lin Yan heard Pei Yucheng repeat the words she had said to him before, she felt ashamed of herself. âI was afraid that you would be angry so I made that up...â
Pei Yucheng said softly, âLow blood pressure...â
Lin Yan swallowed her saliva. âI went to look for you because I wanted to help Third Young Master...â
Pei Yucheng replied, âWhat about tonight?â
Lin Yan mumbled, âTonight... Actually, Mr. Pei Nanxu called me yesterday... He asked me to call you and... ask you out tonight... I had no idea why...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Pei Yucheng was speechless...
The night breeze ruffled their hair, and the night was gloomy and dark.
After a very long time... Lin Yan finally heard Pei Yucheng respond. âSo?â
Lin Yan scratched her head and blurted aloud, âSo... we... should... break up? No... Actually, we donât have to... This was a misunderstanding all along. It was just a misunderstanding... Besides, Mr. Pei, you accepted because you find me fascinating, right? You mentioned that you didnât want to get married...â
Pei Yucheng stopped tapping his fingers and the surroundings went quiet. âMiss Lin, you have misunderstood.â
Lin Yan was bewildered. âMisunderstood?â
Pei Yucheng remained polite as he said airily, âI said that we didnât have to get married. I didnât agree to a break-up.â
Lin Yan was dumbfounded.
Huh?
She soon collapsed into a state of bewilderment and silence.
No matter how slow she might be in this area, she sensed that something was wrong with Pei Yucheng.
Pei Yucheng put out his cigarette and extended the same hand, which smelled of tobacco. As he stroked the girlâs face, his deep hoarse voice entered her ears. âMiss Lin... I regret it...â
Although he addressed her in the same way, this seemed to strike a deadly blow to Lin Yanâs head and cause sharp pain.
Unconsciously, Lin Yan slapped Pei Yuchengâs hand away, loathing filling her eyes.
When she was jolted back to her senses, she realized what she had done.
F*ck! What was wrong with her?
âMr. Pei, Iâm sorry... I...â
Pei Yucheng watched his hand turning red as he muttered under his breath, âSorry. Indeed, I still canât accept...â
âWhat?â Lin Yan frowned.
The manâs gaze was like a huge trap enveloping her from all corners. âI canât accept... that youâre not mine...â
âMiss Lin, I refuse to break up with you.â
