Ye Yingying smiled and said, "I've been dieting lately, and I'm not hungry right now. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yu."
Yu Jingchen sat down opposite Ye Yingying. He seemed not to have heard what Ye Yingying said. He opened the packaging box on his own, picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece, and placed it in front of Ye Yingying.
Although the man looked gentle, he was actually quite chauvinistic at heart. He didn't seem to like Ye Yingying's rejection, so he took matters into his own hands and even half-jokingly asked, "Is it because you're on a diet or because this is a gift from me that you refuse to eat?"
Ye Yingying remained silent for a moment, and in order to prevent Yu Jingchen from doing anything more outrageous, she had no choice but to accept the cake that Yu Jingchen handed her.
Yu Jingchen explained to Ye Yingying, "Although I have some misunderstandings with the Ye family, I have no problem with you. I have never targeted you, little sister. Your acting skills are very good. Maybe we will have the opportunity to work together in the future."
Ye Yingying ate the cake that Yu Jingchen had cut very slowly. When she heard Yu Jingchen's words, she smiled and said, "Then let's not cooperate. Otherwise, Mrs. Yu will think that I seduced President Yu, bewitched him, and got a role in his company."
She seemed to be joking, but then again, it didn't, because such a joke made Yu Jingchen unhappy.
He didn't speak, he just looked at Ye Yingying.
Ye Yingying didn't say anything, and continued eating her cake with her head down.
Finally, Yu Jingchen asked with a smile, "What does Miss Ye think?"
"What do you think?"
"If I gave Miss Ye a role, would Miss Ye also think it's because I was seduced and infatuated that I couldn't help but give you the role?" Yu Jingchen leaned back slightly on the sofa, but his gaze was still on Ye Yingying.
He pushed the question back to Ye Yingying, seemingly trying to find some clue on her face, even the slightest clue that would make him back down, but in the end he found that Ye Yingying was completely unmoved.
She tilted her head back and laughed, saying, "President Ye probably wouldn't like my type."
"What type? Young and beautiful, smart and generous, confident and composed—" He used several idioms in a row.
Ye Yingying smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Yu. However, I am just a naive little girl in front of you, and my background probably doesn't satisfy you either. Besides, I am very ambitious, and you certainly can't give me what I really want."
Yu Jingchen looked away. Because his lips were dry and his tongue tasted bitter, he picked up the milk on the table, took a sip, and said indifferently, "Miss Ye is overthinking it. I really have no interest in a little sister like you."
Ye Yingying remained unmoved and said, "I know, I was just joking. Luckily, I didn't fall in love with you."
She had clearly noticed the difference in Yu Jingchen's attitude towards her and the fluctuation in his emotions. She knew that there was a high probability that Yu Jingchen was interested in her, but she still pretended to be naive and said, "How could President Yu possibly be interested in me?"
Yu Jingchen paused slightly in the milk he was holding; he understood Ye Yingying's meaning, of course.
Yu Jingchen wanted to say something, but after seeing Ye Yingying pretending to be stupid and not understanding, including her unmoved statement that she wanted to keep her distance and stay far away from him, he couldn't say anything.
He had brought up relationship issues with women before, but it was more like a transaction. He didn't really believe in feelings, but now he couldn't help but want to follow his heart and fall in love, only to be rejected.
He was originally a proud person when it came to relationships, didn't believe in feelings, and was cold and ruthless. The first time he wanted to lower his head, the other party didn't even give him the chance to do so.
