Chapter 310 I think I really like you
"If Aunt Jiang really missed me, given her personality, she would definitely call me directly. There would be no need for you to act as a mouthpiece here." Yan Ai's tone was as cold as ice, and she ruthlessly exposed his excuse.
Feng Jue on the other end of the line subconsciously rolled his Adam's apple. Even though she was accusing him so bluntly, he couldn't bear to press the hang-up button. He greedily captured every syllable coming from the phone, wanting to hear more of her voice.
"Actually, I talked a lot with your father last time." Feng Jue racked his brains to find a topic, just to make the call last even one more minute.
"Oh? Really?" Yan Ai's response was cold and almost perfunctory. It was obvious that she had no interest in this topic at all.
Sensing that she might hang up at any moment, Feng Jue hurriedly explained, "Your father told me the other day that being unfaithful once is better than never again. I agree with that, but I wasn't unfaithful to you!"
Yan Ai sneered in her heart. This man's lying skills are really getting better and better.
She deliberately followed his words sarcastically and said, "Yes, you are not unfaithful to me. You are just completely uninterested in me as a person."
Feng Jue carefully discerned the emotions in her words, but only caught a hint of sarcasm and disdain, nothing else.
This realization made his heart tighten suddenly.
"I really didn't cheat!" He almost shouted, his voice filled with anxiety. "I admit that I didn't have any romantic feelings for you before, but now, I..."
"Stop!" Yan Ai felt like vomiting after hearing this, full of sarcasm, "You're not trying to say that you're in love with me now, are you?"
"If you tell this kind of nonsense to the King of Hell, he'll die of laughter."
Of course she knew that Feng Jue would not say such disgusting words to her. The reason she deliberately distorted his meaning was just to disgust him and make him feel irritated.
As expected, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Yan Ai imagined the man's frustrated expression at the moment, and felt so happy in her heart.
"I think I really do like you."
After a long silence, Feng Jue finally spoke with difficulty.
He himself couldn't tell whether this was love or not, but he knew clearly that he cared about everything about Yan Ai. This should at least be a sign of liking someone, right?
This unfamiliar emotion caught him off guard.
"Heh." Yan Ai uttered a short, cold laugh. "Do you dare to say that again in front of your childhood sweetheart?"
"Little childhood sweetheart?" Feng Jue's voice was filled with confusion. "You mean, Jiang Qiuning?"
Yan Ai almost wanted to roll her eyes at him and say, "Why are you pretending to be confused?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Feng Jue asked back, his tone suddenly becoming aggrieved. "You still don't believe me, but there really is nothing between Jiang Qiuning and me!"
However, all his explanations sounded like pale lies to Yan Ai.
She would not believe every word he said now, whether positive or negative.
Even if he deliberately pretended to sound hurt to gain sympathy.
"You called me today just to tell me this?"
Yan Ai remained unmoved, her tone frighteningly calm. This sense of alienation made Feng Jue feel unprecedentedly uneasy.
Everything had changed, completely changed. The girl who had once been completely devoted to him, who had learned to cook for him and even designed birthday gifts for him, had been killed by his own hands.
"Why, you just don't want to believe me?" Feng Jue's voice was full of bitterness, "Can you tell me the reason?"
"And last time, I..." Feng Jue hesitated to continue.
"Last time? Which time?" Yan Ai didn't have the patience to play dumb with him. "If you want to say something, just be clear and specific."
