Chapter 133 I'm Sorry
Her voice was very soft: "I just don't want others to misunderstand."
"Who would misunderstand? I gave you the key. I don't want to keep my distance from you. I want you to look at me and tell me the answer!"
Li Beiting even pinched Jiang Yao's chin with some force, not allowing her to look away.
Jiang Yao suddenly felt more aggrieved, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she slapped his hand away.
"Why do you want both? You clearly promised Yao Yuanxin to marry her and gave her a ring, and now you want to be entangled with me. Li Beiting, what do you think of me?"
"What promise, what ring?" Li Beiting looked confused, obviously not understanding what she meant.
"Are you still playing dumb?" Jiang Yao glared at him angrily. "Didn't you say you helped her choose a gift?"
"Gift?"
Li Beiting was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly took out an exquisite box from his arms.
"You think the gift you're talking about is this."
When the box was opened, an exquisitely crafted bracelet came into view.
"This is……"
"This is the gift I personally chose for you when you confessed your love. Yao Yuanxin was there at the time, and I thought she had told you in advance."
The word "confession" floated through my mind.
Jiang Yao's cheeks flushed, and he had a feeling that something was getting out of control, and subconsciously wanted to escape.
Li Beiting took a step forward forcefully, his eyes locked firmly on her, his gaze affectionate and lingering, "Yaoyao, I like you! You're the only one from the beginning to the end. You shouldn't doubt my feelings for you."
In an instant, Jiang Yao's cheeks turned red and his heartbeat accelerated violently.
She subconsciously bit her lips and felt dizzy, as if fireworks exploded in her mind, colorful and illuminating the whole world.
Li Beiting watched her biting her lips and suddenly felt his mouth dry. Unable to restrain himself, he leaned over and kissed her bright red lips.
The moment their lips touched, it was as if an electric current ran through them, and a tingling sensation surged throughout their bodies.
Jiang Yao opened his eyes wide, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Just when Li Beiting was about to take a step further, a scream sounded from not far away.
"You, you guys—"
Yao Yuanxin heard about the party tonight and dressed up carefully, hoping to create an opportunity to meet Li Beiting by chance.
Unexpectedly, I saw the two of them kissing.
Her eyes instantly turned red with anger.
Jiang Yao suddenly woke up and pushed Li Beiting away.
Li Beiting pursed his lips with a feeling of being unsatisfied, and looked at the person who came with displeasure.
"How could you do this, Brother Beiting? Didn't you promise to repay me and take care of me?"
Yao Yuanxin seemed to have been betrayed, her eyes were red and she complained about her grievance.
When Li Beiting thought about the torture he had suffered for more than half a month, which was actually caused by the woman in front of him, his eyes became even colder.
"Ms. Yao, you saved my life, but other than that, there's nothing between us. Whatever you want, as long as it doesn't cross my bottom line, I'll compensate you. But marrying you just for saving my life is ridiculous."
He ruthlessly exposed her lies and fantasies.
"This is the 21st century, not ancient times! You're not living in a dream.
The person I like is Jiang Yao, she is the one I have always wanted to pursue."
His words were like a slap in the face of Yao Yuanxin.
In an instant, emotions such as embarrassment, shame, and humiliation all surged into Yao Yuanxin's heart, making her almost ashamed.
It turned out that she had been being sentimental all along, and in the end she was the one being made a fool of herself.
Yao Yuanxin's eyes turned red with anger and tears fell down.
Finally, he turned around and fled in embarrassment.
Just wait, Li Beiting will regret it!
Jiang Yao had been depressed for so long, but now that the truth was out, his mood suddenly became brighter.
"so--"
Did she misunderstand Li Beiting? Was the quarrel between the two also a misunderstanding?
Li Beiting lowered his head, his voice revealing a rare nervousness: "So... Yaoyao, are you willing to accept my confession?"
Jiang Yao came back to his senses, and his cheeks turned red when he thought of the sudden kiss just now.
She lowered her head somewhat at a loss, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, she raised her head again, looked directly into Li Beiting's eyes, and said softly, "Senior, I'm sorry for what happened before, but I feel now that this may not be the best time for us."
Li Beiting was stunned, his expression instantly darkened, a mixture of loss and sadness...
But the next second, Jiang Yao changed the subject, "But, I'm willing to try to get along with you."
An astonishing light suddenly flashed in Li Beiting's eyes.
It was a surprise and also seemed like disbelief.
"I don't want to lie to you. In that previous relationship, because Lu Xuan reached out to me when I was in despair, I regarded him as my salvation and blindly began to follow him. Even though neither of us understood each other's true inner thoughts, we gave everything unilaterally. In the end, it turned into a ridiculous joke."
With previous experience, or lessons learned, Jiang Yao doesn't want to blindly enter into another relationship.
"I now understand that love is never everything in life. I must first learn to be independent and strong, and love myself before I can love others."
At this point, her expression gradually became firm. "So, if you are willing to accept, I think we can first get to know each other and see if our personalities, values, and other aspects are compatible. If it is suitable, we can naturally be together. If not—"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Beiting's smiling voice.
"There's never been a no option for me with you. I accept your proposal."
After hearing Li Beiting's answer, Jiang Yao began to feel embarrassed again for some reason.
"Then I'll go back to the box first, you can come in later."
After saying that, she turned and left in a hurry.
Li Beiting knew that she wanted to avoid suspicion. He looked at her leaving back helplessly and sighed softly.
"Haha, I never thought that Mr. Li would be rejected one day!"
At this moment, a gloating voice sounded from not far away.
Qin Jinxiu crossed his arms and walked over slowly with an arrogant look on his face.
Li Beiting sneered: "I didn't expect that the dignified Mr. Qin also has a habit of eavesdropping on people's conversations."
"I just came here to discuss business, but I didn't expect to run into you doing something so shameless. You blocked Yaoyao and forced her to confess her love, and now that you've been rejected, just give up on this idea!"
Qin Jinxiu's tone was full of provocation.
"Mr. Qin, do you selectively listen to only what you want to hear? Yaoyao said that she is willing to get along with me and we can be together if it is suitable." Li Beiting naturally would not back down in front of him.
Qin Jinxiu, however, clicked his tongue twice and sneered, "You just don't understand what people are saying! Those were clearly just polite talk. Yaoyao was just trying to save your face by saying a few perfunctory words. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
Li Beiting's eyes were slightly cold.
Qin Jinxiu looked back at him unwillingly.
Sparks were spreading in his eyes.
After a while, Li Beiting suddenly raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "When Yaoyao rejected you, did she leave you any room for maneuver?"
Qin Jinxiu was choked.
Indeed, Jiang Yao made it very clear when he rejected him.
Not like towards Li Beiting.
He heard everything just now!
So, Jiang Yao actually likes him, right?
But he would never admit defeat if he lost the battle but not the people.
In front of his love rival, Qin Jinxiu didn't want to show any fear. Instead, he challenged her, "Let's compete fairly and see who Yaoyao will choose."
"As long as it's not the last moment, it's still unknown who will win or lose!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
