"What can he say? Why don't you tell me what you talked about when you left together that day? Did you mention me?"
Ye Haochen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. From Jiang Xile's slightly mocking gaze, he knew that she knew everything.
That despicable Xiao Chengyi, he even tried to trick me before leaving!
"Xile, listen to me. I didn't mean to reveal your information. I didn't tell anyone about your grandparents' identities. I just wanted to make him back down!"
Ye Haochen hurriedly explained, hoping to gain Jiang Xile's forgiveness.
"Ye Zhiqing, it's your freedom to say or do whatever you want, and I have no right to interfere. But there's one thing I still want to remind you of."
The relationship between us is one of mutual help. You help me take care of my grandparents, and in return, I help you take care of Grandpa He.
I have never violated the deal between us in the slightest, and I have never even revealed a word of it to a third party.
But what about you? I've always considered you a friend, but your actions have crossed the line. Before, because of Uncle Yuan and Uncle Zhao, we had more interactions than others.
But it was just a discussion about learning, and I don't think I did anything to cause any misunderstanding. So I hope you can also view our relationship rationally.
"Staying at the level of friends is a good thing for you, for me, and for Grandpa He, Uncle Yuan, and Uncle Zhao as well!"
The blatant rejection was laid bare before Ye Haochen. He wasn't stupid; he could easily understand Jiang Xile's meaning.
After all, they practically said: I only consider you a friend, don't have any designs on me! Don't get any improper thoughts.
Ye Haochen felt extremely distressed at this moment. He was overwhelmed by feelings of depression, panic, tension, helplessness, and a great sense of loss.
Looking into Jiang Xile's clear, bright eyes, he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.
He lowered his head and sighed deeply.
“I was wrong before. I shouldn’t have used you to attack Xiao Chengyi. I was too selfish and didn’t consider your safety.”
I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you. It won't happen again. I will be more aware of my role and won't cause you any more trouble.
I will take good care of my maternal grandparents, and I will notify you immediately if any special circumstances arise.
I'm also asking you to take care of my grandfather and my master. If anything happens, please remember to let me know. Let's... still be friends from now on...."
Ye Haochen's voice was very low during the last sentence; if Jiang Xile hadn't had such good hearing, she might not have been able to hear it.
Knowing that Ye Haochen must be upset about being rejected, Jiang Xile didn't intend to cut ties with him completely since things had already been discussed. After all, with Ye Haochen taking care of her grandparents, she could save herself a lot of trouble.
"Of course we're still friends. In my heart, I've always considered you a friend! But that's all!"
"I...I understand! I'll head back now, goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
Jiang Xile stood there, watching Ye Haochen walk away step by step, her heart unmoved.
At first, I only noticed Ye Haochen because he shared the same name as the Zombie King, and also because he was very handsome, but that was all.
Let alone the fact that Jiang Xile has no plans to date or find a partner now, even if she wants to get involved in relationships in the future, the man she wants to find will not be someone like Ye Haochen.
Either don't look for a man, or if you do, Jiang Xile wants to find a perfect man who is completely devoted to her, thinks only of her, puts her first in everything, and is both capable and good-looking!
