Chapter 106 Run
If you were to ask who in the entire manor she least wanted to see, the first would be people like Li Biluo and Chen Baili who had grudges against her; and the second would be Chen Zeyu, who was leaning against the pillar and looking at her calmly.
She knew very well that as long as she was involved with this person, almost nothing would be innocent and nothing would have a good outcome.
Although she was extremely reluctant, she still hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over and said in a low voice, "Third Master, what can I do for you?"
Chen Zeyu folded his arms across his chest, leaning against a marble column. His posture seemed unusually relaxed yet sharp. "Something has been circulating about you and me today."
"And it was told in great detail and vividly, describing when and where they met, what they did, and even the number of times they met. It was all described clearly and vividly."
After hearing this, Shen Yan’s brows furrowed involuntarily.
Originally, her mentality was relatively stable and her emotions were not too affected, but the word "several times" did catch her off guard and completely broke her apparent calmness.
He suddenly brought this up...
What do you want to do?
He continued, "Even in the most remote corner behind the villa, I can still hear these rumors."
She finally couldn't help but speak, whispering, "Third Master, don't you have anything important to do recently? Otherwise, why would you be so preoccupied with this kind of gossip?"
Otherwise, why would you pay special attention to such irrelevant and baseless remarks?
Facing her slightly sarcastic words, Chen Zeyu nodded calmly and replied calmly: "That's right, I don't have much to do recently."
After a pause, he added with a smile, "I just want to know more about our story."
When she heard this, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He was standing in front of her, not too far away.
The space between the two people seemed to be quietly narrowed by some subtle emotion.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a half-smile on his face. "You said those people spread such truths. Don't you think it's quite interesting?"
Chen Yan forced a smile, which looked extremely awkward. "Third Master, the best way to deal with things like this is actually very simple - don't care, don't listen. Why don't you just choose not to believe it? Or directly let the management take care of this kind of reputation? Talking too much is not a good thing after all, right?"
Surprisingly, Chen Zeyu did not refute her suggestion. Instead, he raised the corner of his lips slightly, and said in a casual yet playful tone, "But I think this matter becomes more interesting the more I listen to it."
After a pause, he uttered something puzzling, "I want to hear more versions."
Especially the parts about her.
She opened her mouth, but in the end she was speechless.
Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something in rebuttal, but for a moment she couldn't say anything. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't even utter a word of explanation.
Those rumors are really ugly.
Rumors pierced her ears like knives, saying that she deliberately approached the Third Master, and that she had climbed up step by step because of her extraordinary means.
Some even said that she was having an affair with someone else outside, which was simply unbearable to hear.
Every word she heard made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar, and the color on her face was completely devoured by anger and humiliation.
If she didn't have to set up a stall today, she would be so angry that her hands would be shaking.
She stood there gritting her teeth, her knuckles turning white, and her heart felt as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on it.
If she hadn't remembered that the stall hadn't been closed yet and the goods were still waiting to be sold, she would really have rushed over and cursed him out.
She simply risked her life, "Third Master, are you interested in me?"
Anyway, things have come to this point, so it doesn't matter if I say something offensive.
When she said this, her eyes were fixed on him, which was both a test and a resistance, and even had a hint of determination.
Otherwise, according to the normal reaction, how could one not be angry when hearing these rumors?
Any girl, even the mildest one, would have slammed the table in anger.
Who would sit in silence and listen to others ruin their reputation bit by bit?
Who can endure this without any ulterior motives?
Who would want to continue listening?
Even if it was just to prove his innocence, he should have turned around and left long ago instead of staying here and suffering like this.
But she didn't leave, just because he was still there. His every move occupied her mind, making it difficult for her to make a choice.
If he really liked her, she would make him hate her.
If she really had feelings for him, she would rather destroy the relationship with her own hands than let herself fall, let alone let him have any true feelings for her.
If he doesn't like it, that's all that matters.
That would mean that it was all a misunderstanding, her illusion, and that she had misunderstood the signals he had inadvertently given her.
As long as he said that he didn't love her, her future would be completely free from this entanglement.
But he definitely doesn't like her, no matter how good-looking she is, there's a huge gap in their status!
He was an unattainable nobleman, and she was just a street vendor from the market, they could not stand together at all.
This is a totally mismatched person!
Chen Zeyu said indifferently, "People like us never care whether we like it or not. What we care about is whether we can get it."
His voice was very cold, like a gust of wind blowing through the cold winter, blowing away the last bit of hope that Chen Yan had in her heart.
They never bother to talk about love. To them, feelings are just unnecessary.
Like this kind of thing, it's not worth their time to think about it.
It is so unreal. It comes like a dream and leaves silently.
Instead of focusing on things that are beyond your control, it is more important to firmly grasp the practical benefits in your hands.
Shen Yan suddenly felt uneasy and took a few steps back.
A feeling of danger that I had never felt before suddenly came over me.
The indifference in those words seemed to completely exclude her, making her feel inexplicably frightened.
Chen Zeyu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Stop, come here."
He frowned, and although his tone was not harsh, it revealed a hint of oppression.
No, anyone who goes there is a fool.
Thoughts raced through Shen Yan's mind. She didn't believe that getting close to him at this time would lead to any good results.
She stopped abruptly, then decisively turned around and ran.
She turned and tried to run away.
Her heart beat faster and her legs and feet moved first. She just wanted to escape from this suffocating place as soon as possible.
He reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
As soon as she took a step forward, she was pulled back.
The hand was strong and powerful, leaving her no room to struggle.
Shen Yan screamed in a low voice: "Third Master!"
