"Do you know that after seeing your text message, I flew back overnight! As soon as I got off the plane, I didn't even have a sip of water before I couldn't wait to see you and give you a surprise."

Is this how you talk to me? Is this your attitude?

Liu Ruyan's eyes reddened; she felt extremely wronged.

"I genuinely want to make up with you. As for the stand-in thing, it's all nonsense."

"Who told you this? I'm going to find him!"

Liu Ruyan was confident that Jiang He couldn't possibly know about this. She had never mentioned the other person in front of Jiang He.

Suppressing her hatred for the informant, she blinked her bright, adorable, doe-like eyes, gazing longingly at Jiang He, wanting to reach out and take his hand.

"Jiang He, please stop making a scene. Do you know that I came back this time to confess my feelings to you?"

"I like you, Jiang He. Will you be with me?"

Every time she made that expression, Jiang He would soften and listen to her in everything.

Liu Ruyan's methods were always successful, and she believed she had Jiang He completely under her control.

"No, I don't want to!"

But Jiang He's resolute refusal next left her stunned.

Jiang He actually rejected her.

On what grounds?

How dare Jiang He!

Before she could get angry, she looked up and met Jiang He's mocking gaze.

"Liu Ruyan, stop pretending. Do you think I don't know?"

"You confessed your feelings to me because Shen Jiahe is already engaged abroad, and you have no hope left. So you settled for second best and came to me as a substitute, right?"

Liu Ruyan's face turned deathly pale.

"How...how did you know?"
