Chapter 71: A heart feels like it’s soaked in acid water
The man strode up to Xu Xiaoyue in front of him, his throat rolling, pretending to be calm and asked, "Did you hear everything I said that day?"
Xu Xiaoyue took a big step forward and suddenly heard Yan Ye's voice. She was so scared that she almost tripped.
"Slower!"
Yan Ye's eyelids jumped, and he held the woman's waist with his big hands and pulled Xu Xiaoyue up.
Almost having a close contact with the ground, Xu Xiaoyue touched her wildly beating heart, came to her senses, and continued walking forward without saying a word.
Yan Ye raised his eyebrows, looked at the ground in front of him silently, and followed the woman.
"Why are you following me?" Xu Xiaoyue turned around and asked unhappily.
"I'm afraid a certain angry cat will get lost."
Yan Ye said in an ambiguous tone.
"Where is the kitten?" Xu Xiaoyue glanced around and met the man's teasing gaze. Then she realized that he was teasing her again.
"You're crazy." She cursed angrily and walked forward angrily.
Yan Ye thought back to last night when the woman fell in the bathroom. If he hadn't happened to see it today, he didn't know how long this woman would have kept it a secret from him.
You have really made progress.
The man followed her closely and asked, "Why did you deliberately hide our relationship from Yan Shuli just now?"
"Relationship? What kind of relationship could there be between us? Is it because I deliberately tried to climb up the social ladder? Or is it because I came all the way here to climb up the big tree of your Yan family?"
Xu Xiaoyue said this with a choked throat. The grievance she felt back then made her eyes hot when she thought about it now. "I will never forget what you said in my life."
As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears that fell to the ground.
"Don't cry." His rough fingertips gently touched the woman's lower eyelid, and then retracted it as if it was burned.
Xu Xiaoyue sniffed and said, "Who is crying? The wind is so strong that it blinds my eyes. Stop being sentimental."
"Okay, it's all my fault. Now, Yan Ye, who is so self-indulgent, apologizes to you. Can Comrade Xu Xiaoyue, who is so generous and doesn't care about anything, accept it?"
The man leaned down, his eyes level with Xu Xiaoyue's, and touched her head carefully, as if he was coaxing a child, with rare patience and gentleness.
Xu Xiaoyue wiped her tears, took out the watch the man had handed her that day from her pocket, and held it out to her: "I'll give it back to you."
Yan Ye's expression froze, and he turned his head away. "What I gave you is yours. Are you afraid of others misunderstanding you?"
When he said the last sentence, the man's tone was full of gritted teeth, and there was some hidden sourness in his heart.
It was not enough to guard against Gu Yichen, and now there was another person named Yan Shuli. The key point was that the two of them had been engaged since childhood. When Yan Ye thought of this, his heart felt like it was soaked in sour water, bitter and bitter.
The man's words were so veiled that Xu Xiaoyue didn't understand the jealousy in his words at all. She impatiently handed it forward again, "It's too expensive. I can't accept it."
"I wanted to return it to you before, but you insisted on forcing it on me."
She emphasized the word "forced" and Yan Ye was so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped.
Yan Ye's eyes were heavy, he glanced away from the matter of the watch, and his tone softened, "I never thought of checking your identity, but you knew my identity, why didn't you tell me at the time?"
As expected, when this matter was mentioned, Xu Xiaoyue's eyes avoided and she hesitated for a long time without being able to say a single word.
Yan Ye was also angry. If the dream he had before could be considered an extraordinary thing in his life, then the fact that he fell in love with his nephew's childhood marriage was extremely absurd.
He happened to encounter such an embarrassing thing.
