Mr. Ex has a little quirk: he doesn't like brewed coffee; he prefers instant coffee powder.
It saves time and effort; anyway, for him, it's all just liquid going into his stomach, so there's not much difference.
He threw away the empty packaging bag, and the silver spoon collided with the cup, accelerating the mixing of the powder and water.
He brought his mouth close to the rim of the cup and blew on it gently. Only when the temperature was suitable did he slightly open his mouth.
He took a small sip; it tasted astringent and bitter, but he still didn't show much expression, or rather, it was impossible to see whether there was any expression under the mask.
Mr. Ex was deliberately keeping Lin Yang in suspense. His glass was half empty before he slowly spoke, "Is it shameful to be my woman?"
"No, it's not shameful," Lin Yang quickly denied.
How could she dare?
"Then... what's wrong with it trending on social media?" Mr. Ex took another sip of his bitter coffee.
"..." Lin Yang almost got caught up in his words. "Then these fake news stories all over the place about my morning sickness should be clarified, right?"
"Clarify what? It's only a matter of time." Mr. Ex dismissed the matter with remarkable ease.
It's...it'll happen sooner or later?
Who says it's a matter of sooner or later with you?!
I'll probably go back to my old world sooner or later!
Lin Yang suppressed the urge to curse and forced a smile at the person on the other end of the phone, "Will this scandal affect my career? Most importantly, I'm afraid I'll tarnish your reputation, sir. Perhaps I should explain?"
The bottom of the glass was empty, with only some partially dissolved residue remaining. Mr. Ex put down the glass. "When you were having an affair with Xu Chengzhi, I didn't see you trying your best to clarify things, did I?"
The words trailed off with a hint of anger.
Lin Yang realized the atmosphere was turning sour and quickly changed her tune, "The rumors about him and me are just those fans' wild imaginations. The innocent will clear themselves, the innocent will clear themselves, there's absolutely nothing between us!"
She felt inexplicably guilty saying these words, and wasn't afraid of being struck by lightning.
Absolutely nothing. She struck up a conversation with him on their first meeting and asked for his WeChat. They slept in the same bed not long after they met, and he even confessed his feelings to her a couple of days ago.
This is what Lin Yang meant by "nothing"!
Just by looking at each of her points one by one, you can easily slap her in the face.
Mr. Ex did not expose her lie; of all the little things that happened to her every day, was there anything that did not pass through his eyes?
He simply doesn't bother to argue unless his bottom line is crossed.
The cup and saucer were taken out by the butler to be washed, and Mr. Ex only glanced at them.
After the butler left the bedroom and the door closed softly, Mr. Ex continued to speak.
"Regarding Xu Chengzhi trending on social media, firstly, I'm helping you, and secondly, she's my woman. I don't like anyone else getting involved with her, not even a little finger of hers." Mr. Ex's words were full of possessiveness towards Lin Yang.
It wasn't love, but the frustration of having something that belonged to me taken away.
Lin Yang's hand holding the phone was a little unsteady, and she almost dropped it.
That's right. How could I possibly gloss over my own problems with just a few words?
However, Mr. Ex's possessiveness made her feel inexplicably suffocated.
She is like a delicate doll marked with its owner; without the owner's permission, she can never be owned by anyone else.
If she completes her mission and returns to her original world without a word, Mr. Ex, who is overly possessive, will probably be furious.
We'd have to dig her out, even if it meant digging three feet into the ground.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang couldn't help but shudder.
He gripped the phone tighter and responded to Mr. Ex with a complicated expression, "I understand."
