Chapter 62: Stop Pretending to Be Noble
During those days, he never thought of the name Xu Yueqing once.
Jiang Chejin's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
Xu Yueqing looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and there was no more ripple in her heart.
She took a step forward.
"At this point," her voice was very soft, but like fine needles, piercing Jiang Chejin's ears one by one, "Do you still think I'm playing hard to get?"
Jiang Chejin's heart felt inexplicably tight.
That's not the case.
She should cry, should seek a hug from him with red eyes like she had done countless times before.
Instead of being like it is now, as calm as a bottomless pool of water, which makes him panic.
"Jiang Chejin, this world doesn't revolve around you alone."
After Xu Yueqing said this, he prepared to turn around.
She felt like she was wasting her life if she said one more word to him.
"stop!"
That decisive farewell seemed to have lit a fuse, and Jiang Chejin finally came back to his senses from the blank shock and blurted out.
"Xu Yueqing, don't put yourself in the position of a victim!"
He was eager to defend himself and find an outlet for his unspeakable panic.
"I saw clearly how your family treated Luo Luo back then! She was so weak and alone in the Xu family, being taken care of by you and your mother..."
"Then just go and protect her."
Xu Yueqing interrupted him again, her tone revealing a weariness that came from not wanting to argue with a fool.
She didn't even turn her head.
"Why do you keep appearing in front of me?"
"What do you care who I'm with?"
Having said that, Xu Yueqing paused.
She seemed to have suddenly figured something out, turned around slowly, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Those clear eyes, with a cold, all-seeing look in them, looked straight at him.
"Jiang Chejin," she said word by word, as if judging, "Could it be that you really like me, and now that I don't like you anymore, you feel bad?"
In an instant, Jiang Chejin was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and all the hair on his body stood up.
Really like her?
How could he possibly like Xu Yueqing?
The idea was so absurd that he wanted to laugh, but what about the stuffy feeling in his chest that made him feel breathless?
He doesn't know and doesn't want to know!
"Xu Yueqing, stop being so sentimental here!"
He almost roared, his voice becoming a little sharp because of shame and anger.
"Don't forget, you like me! Much more than I like you!"
Ji Bingqian, who was standing aside, remained silent like an outsider.
But when he heard Jiang Chejin's careless words, his calm eyes darkened.
The gaze that fell on Jiang Chejin was as cold as ice.
This nephew of his has been spoiled by his family and has no idea how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is.
A variety of emotions were colliding wildly in Jiang Chejin's chest, anger, embarrassment, and an inexplicable panic that made him lose all his rationality.
His mouth worked faster than his brain and he blurted out what he said.
"It's you! You've been loving me desperately!"
He pointed at her, his eyes red.
"You are willing to give everything for me!"
"Now you're pretending to be noble and talking nonsense here again, Xu Yueqing, don't you feel particularly ashamed?"
As soon as the words fell, the air around them seemed to be sucked dry.
Ji Bingqian couldn't listen any longer.
He took a step forward. It was just a simple action, but it brought with it a tremendous sense of oppression that instantly enveloped Jiang Chejin.
