Chapter 53: From now on, just treat us as strangers
Xu Xiaoyue sensed a cold gaze, she turned her head and met Yan Ye's cold black eyes.
She paused, turned her back to the man and completely ignored him.
Gu Yichen had already noticed Yan Ye. When that person looked at him viciously, he deliberately lowered his head and smiled at the woman with a compliant look on his face.
He saw Xu Xiaoyue's reaction clearly, and Gu Yichen knew without guessing that there was a quarrel between the two.
Yan Ye thought that Xu Xiaoyue would be more restrained after being caught meeting this man, but he didn't expect that this woman would dare to hide from him.
Well, now I’m bolder and my wings are stronger, but I’ve been led astray by that butterfly.
The man's face became increasingly gloomy, and he stared over there with a burning anger.
At this time, even Wang Jianhua realized that something was wrong. He looked in the direction the man was looking and was shocked.
Wang Jianhua knew from the coldness emanating from Yan Ye how angry the man was at the moment.
Xu Xiaoyue had her back to the crowd, but she could still sense the sharp gaze directed at her.
She lowered her head and pulled her hair in annoyance, thinking of what she heard at the door of Yan's house. What right did Yan Ye have to look at her like that!
It was as if she had done something wrong to this person!
Gu Yichen saw Xu Xiaoyue's reaction and his guess became more solid.
He bent down and deliberately got closer to the woman, and whispered, "I think I saw your friend. Do you want to go up and say hello?"
When Xu Xiaoyue mentioned Yan Ye, her face looked as ugly as if she had lost money. She turned her head, stamped her feet, and said uncomfortably, "No, he is not my friend."
Hearing her say this, Gu Yichen's eyes deepened, and he turned his head to glance at the man nonchalantly, "Really? Last time I saw you guys eating together, I thought you were very familiar with each other."
Speaking of eating, Xu Xiaoyue opened her lips as if she wanted to say something. After a long while, she lowered her head and said silently, "Last time was last time. We are no longer friends now."
"Let's go. I don't want to be here anymore." She said, reaching out and gently pulling the man's sleeve to signal him.
Xu Xiaoyue was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to help but go up and question the scumbag, asking him why he slandered her for trying to curry favor with a rich and powerful man, and why he was sure that she had ulterior motives.
I drafted all the words in my mind for a long time, but finally I quietly stopped talking.
Forget it, from now on, we’ll just go our separate ways and never meet again.
As for the money that Yan Ye secretly gave him, she would not return it. She now admitted that she was a bad person. Even if she cut off ties with him, she would not return the money to that scumbag.
Yan Ye saw clearly the movement of Xu Xiaoyue tugging at the man's sleeve. A layer of frost seemed to have formed on his face, and his eyes shot towards the two of them like arrows.
Finally, Yan Ye couldn't help but take a step forward and walked behind Xu Xiaoyue in a few steps. His voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible anger.
"Xu Xiaoyue, why are you hiding?"
Xu Xiaoyue's shoulders stiffened slightly, but she didn't turn around. She lowered her head and clasped her hands, responding coldly: "Avoiding you? You take yourself too seriously. We have nothing to do with each other. Do you think I should say hello to you?"
Yan Ye exuded the aura of a storm before it came. From his angle, he could only see Xu Xiaoyue's furry head.
He sneered, "You're not hiding from me, so tell me, what are you doing with your back to me now?"
He was so angry that he thought Xu Xiaoyue was angry about the last time he asked her to stay away from Gu Yichen.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't say anything. Gu Yichen next to her frowned and stood between the two of them. "Comrade Yan, let's talk it over."
Yan Ye's eyes shot towards Gu Yichen, and there seemed to be a shadow in his eyes, "Don't interfere in the matter between me and her."
Xu Xiaoyue turned her head and said fiercely, "We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Also, don't be mean to him."
Yan Ye paused, his face a little hurt. He looked at the fierce little face, not understanding how he had offended her.
"Because last time..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Xiaoyue.
"Is it fun for you to pretend like this? Don't bother me anymore. You and I have nothing to do with each other. How dare I try to get close to a big shot like you?"
Her words were heart-wrenching.
Yan Ye's expression became even uglier. He stared at Xu Xiaoyue, as if he wanted to see something from the woman's face, but her expression was cold and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
After a moment of stalemate, Yan Ye gritted his teeth, his arm veins bulged slightly, and tried to soften his voice and said, "Weren't we fine last time?"
He was referring to the time at the police station. The two of them were very affectionate. He even put his clothes on Xu Xiaoyue and held her hand. Her slender, white and soft fingers, with the half-moons on them, were also very cute. Yan Ye still remembers it very clearly.
He thought about it and thought that it was his attitude just now that frightened Xu Xiaoyue, so he said in a soothing voice, "Just now, my voice was a little too loud."
Xu Xiaoyue didn’t understand. At this point, why was this person still pretending?
Her words were so clear, could it be that Yan Ye still thought he was kept in the dark?
Xu Xiaoyue now clearly remembered the words she heard at the door of the Yan family. The person in front of her said that she was scheming and asked the Yan family to stay away from her.
She is from the country, but does that mean people from the country are inferior to others?
Xu Xiaoyue thought that a few days had passed since the incident. She had cried and had adjusted her broken heart. But when she thought back on it now, those hurtful words were still fresh in her memory.
She sniffed, her voice choking a little, "Take this as a plea from you, let me go, and let yourself go."
"From now on, we will get along like strangers."
Yan Ye could tell that she wanted to cry.
It was totally irrational. She was obviously the one bullying him and playing with his feelings, but this little liar felt wronged first.
What is there for her to feel wronged about?
She never listens to him and allows anyone, cat or dog, to hang around in front of her.
If they are caught, they will start crying and making a fuss if they are told a few words.
What made even more sense was the dull pain in his heart. He cared more about this man's attitude than the fact that Xu Xiaoyue was with Gu Yichen next to her.
When we get along like strangers...
So what were those before them?
Is it just his wishful thinking, self-conceit and self-righteousness?
If Xu Xiaoyue was willing to look up at Yan Ye at this moment, she would find that the man's eyes were redder than hers, and there were tears in his eyes.
Yan Ye took two steps back, ultimately unwilling to stay here and humiliate himself.
He left in a hurry, as if he had never been there.
