Chapter 807 A Changed Person
She said all these words in one breath, and after that, she met Li Jinxing's disappointed gaze, and felt as if her heart was pricked by a needle, and it ached dully.
She knew how cruel and hurtful these words were to Li Jinxing. He trusted her completely and told her everything about the family heirloom without reservation, but in the end she had to say such hurtful words to him!
But if her words were not harsh enough, he would never leave her side and leave Egypt, which is full of dangers!
"Yaoyao..." Li Jinxing's Adam's apple moved, and a low sigh escaped from the corner of his lips.
"So you think I'm of no help to your archaeological work, and that staying here would only make me a burden?"
He looked deep into her eyes, as if to confirm her last thoughts!
Nie Yao didn't know if she still had the courage to continue looking him in the eye. Her nose was even a little sore, but she stiffened her neck, nodded, and answered word by word without hesitation: "Not bad!"
Li Jinxing looked at her with a cold and sarcastic expression and gave a positive answer. He wanted to reach out and shake her shoulders, asking her what had happened and why she suddenly became a different person!
But his outstretched hands stopped in mid-air when he saw her indifferent expression.
He could only let go of his hand dejectedly, stroking the engagement diamond ring on his hand, and said in a faint voice: "Yaoyao, have you forgotten the promise we made to each other at the engagement party? You said that no matter what happens, we will never give up on each other and will face it together..."
Nie Yao lowered her head, looking at her enormous engagement diamond ring. She silently apologized, shook her head, and smiled nonchalantly, "If I didn't agree to your eldest brother's engagement proposal, he wouldn't agree at all and hand over your heirloom. There's no way I'd come to Egypt to participate in this archaeological project. Isn't that obvious?"
"So you're saying that what you said at the engagement ceremony wasn't what you really meant?"
Li Jinxing asked this question unwillingly. Nie Yao did not answer. She just shrugged and sneered and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Jinxing clenched his fists. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, if he hadn't seen her cold expression, he would have thought he was dreaming!
In the dream, his Yaoyao seemed to have changed into another face. She was no longer the positive girl, nor was she the fool who carefully helped him apply medicine, held his cup, and smiled as she helped him test the poison!
But the pain from the ring reminded him that this was not a dream!
He didn't know she was at the Cultural Relics Center, and without his knowledge, who she had met and what they had talked about, so her attitude towards him changed drastically after she came back...
But her words, whether true or false, still hurt his heart!
"Yaoyao, for you, I can argue with Big Brother. I don't even need you to come to the group to help me like other CEO wives. If you want to continue your archaeological career, I will always support you..."
Li Jinxing said this, shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I accompanied you to Egypt, and even put aside the work at hand and handed it over to my eldest brother, just to spend more time with you. But now you say that you don't need me, that I am just a burden to you. This makes me feel like a big fool..."
