Chapter 226
When the other person kissed the corner of his mouth and then probed deeper, Jiang You suddenly pushed Theodore away, got up, and ran out.
How disgusting... Although she can't escape him, she doesn't want to see him or have any intimate relationship with him right now.
Jiang You wandered around like a headless fly. She randomly pushed open a door, and what came into view was a corridor that seemed to stretch on forever.
She ran inside, and every few steps there was a huge stained-glass window.
Why is it that when she's clearly in the right, when she's on the moral high ground and the victim, she's the one running away?
Sunlight streamed through the glass, casting vibrant patches of color onto the ground.
As the wind blew through the window cracks, the crystal wind chimes hanging above made a soft tinkling sound.
Thump, thump, thump, the sound of unhurried footsteps echoed behind Jiang You, each one striking his heart.
The other party toyed with their prey, keeping a leisurely distance.
She gritted her teeth, trying to create some distance, when she saw Theodore suddenly appear in front of her.
His eyes widened, he slammed on the brakes, staggered, and fell to the ground.
...It hurts so much.
Despite wincing in pain, she still looked up at Theodore.
No, he is not Theodore.
Theodore had long hair, while the man in front of him had short hair.
The man's gaze swept indifferently over her and landed behind her.
At that moment, Theodore casually walked past her and stood next to the man.
The two completely ignored her and began talking as if no one else was around.
They weren't speaking Chinese or English, but a language she didn't recognize at all.
As the two spoke, the man who looked exactly like Theodore would occasionally glance at her face, as if examining an item awaiting valuation.
The oppressive feeling was too strong, like an invisible spider web trapping her. When she looked away, Jiang You forgot that she was still sitting on the ground and was a little stunned.
The man said something that made Theodore very angry, and he raised his voice.
The man, who had remained expressionless, turned his gaze over again.
There was no warmth in his gaze, only the way a person in a superior measures the value of things.
Every detail was dissected and measured under his gaze; even her attempts to conceal her emotions and her subconscious aversion to look away seemed to be part of the evaluation.
The man nodded as if agreeing to something, and Theodore instantly beamed with joy.
“Jiang You,” she said, her voice tinged with excitement. Theodore walked up to her, his eyes slightly upturned, and stared at her lazily.
His beautiful, light pink lips parted and closed: "From now on, you will be our bride."
...It felt like a dream.
Jiang You remained silent. Did she want to get up today? Otherwise, how could she still hear the other party spouting nonsensical nonsense after the absurd incident of her best friend turning into a man occurred?
To prove it wasn't a dream, she raised her hand and slapped Theodore across the face, meeting his questioning gaze.
Quiet, very quiet.
Jiang You lowered his eyes, looking at his burning palm. It hurt so much. It wasn't a dream or a hallucination after all.
Theodore licked his cheek, not angry but amused, and laughed out loud, "You're doomed, my brother, who loves to discipline disobedient pets."
Jiang Youmou's heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the man behind Theodore.
He touched his cheek with the back of his hand, not looking at her, his expression remaining indifferent and aloof.
Theodore chimed in, adding fuel to the fire: "Ha, you guessed it, didn't you? One slap for two. By the way, my brother's name is Lindbergh Theodore."
