Chapter 167: The Vinegar Doesn't Taste Good
Huang Rongyu stared at Nan Yantingrong expressionlessly, her voice filled with undisguised disgust: "Xiao Fei is my most important friend. If you continue to speak ill of her, I don't mind announcing the engagement right now!"
“Rong Yu…” Nan Yan heard Rong’s eyes fill with tears, adding an irresistible tenderness to her delicate face: “We’ve known each other since we were little, don’t you understand my feelings for you?”
I don't like you.
Huang Rongyu said these words coldly, as if she did not see Nan Yan Tingrong's pale face: "The marriage was my father's private decision. I will personally go to my father to dissolve the engagement between us. If you don't want to lose face, don't provoke me at this time."
“You…” Nan Yan heard Rong’s fingertips tremble uncontrollably.
She suddenly felt that the boy in front of her was a stranger.
She knew that Huang Rongyu had been well-educated and polite since childhood, and treated everyone with utmost courtesy. Her smile was always gentle, like the morning sun, neither scorching nor dazzling.
But now, Huang Rongyu exudes a cold aura, and even the look in her eyes seems to be filled with frost that will never melt away.
Would he really say such cold words?
Huang Rongyu felt exhausted from dealing with her. She slightly concealed the coldness between her brows, brushed past Nan Yantingrong, and left with a flick of her sleeve.
Nan Yan stomped her foot angrily, pointed her finger at Ye Fei, and almost spat out the words through gritted teeth: "Ye Fei! I will never let you get away with this! I will!"
She uttered a harsh remark, then turned and hurriedly followed Huang Rongyu.
Ye Fei stared at Nan Yan Ting Rong's rather disheveled back and softly uttered two words: "Idiot."
As she turned around, she saw a tall, slender figure standing in the courtyard. The candlelight shining from the room illuminated the young man's dark brocade robe. He stood with his hands behind his back, his dark phoenix eyes meeting the girl's gaze in silence.
Ye Fei was taken aback, then immediately ran over and stood in front of him, looking him up and down, and said with surprise, "Li? You're alright?"
"Mmm." Li Yuan looked at the girl's undisguised joy, his eyes softening.
"Are you really alright?"
Ye Fei was still skeptical. Just a few days ago, he was so weak that she had to help him up, but now he was acting like a normal person. "You're not an imposter, are you?"
Li Yuan looked at her helplessly. He didn't say anything, but simply reached his hand with its distinct knuckles towards her neck, answering her question with his actions.
Ye Fei immediately grabbed his hand: "Okay, okay, I know you're not an imposter."
“No one dares to impersonate me.” Li Yuan’s tone was calm, as if it were just a very ordinary statement.
Ye Fei thought to herself: You're quite arrogant?
"When did you arrive?" Ye Fei asked again.
Li Yuan glanced at him and replied, "Not long ago."
"Not long ago?" Ye Fei blinked. "Not long ago... when was that?"
"When Huang Rongyu and Mu Jingshen came to find you."
At this point, he lifted the girl's chin with his hand, his handsome face showing a hint of displeasure: "I didn't know that you would invite other men into your dormitory."
Ye Fei stared intently at the boy's gloomy face. After a five-second eye contact, she asked curiously, "Are you jealous?"
Li Yuan: "..."
He awkwardly turned his face away from her, saying, "...Vinegar doesn't taste good."
"Pfft." Ye Fei found his arrogant demeanor adorable and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
