Chapter 198 What exactly do you want to do?
Yunzhi looked at Ye Chengyan with a headache.
"What exactly do you want? If you want to apologize to me because of the change of female companion, then I forgive you, Mr. Ye. We are not very familiar with each other. Miss Yu is still here. Don't do anything that will cause misunderstandings."
She let go of his hand after she finished speaking.
She didn't want to have anything to do with Ye Chengyan for the time being.
When Ye Chengyan heard the words "not very familiar," his eyes darkened, and the veins on his hand hanging by his side bulged as he slowly tightened his grip and then relaxed. For the first time, he felt helpless because of a woman.
If his date were still her today, could they take things to the next level?
Ye Chengyan bit down hard on the soft flesh of one side of his cheek, his mouth filled with the taste of rust. Knowing that continuing like this would only annoy Yunzhi, he stood up and took the initiative to retreat.
“Miss Yun, I’m sorry, I offended you. I never meant to cause you any trouble. Besides, you must have misunderstood my relationship with Bai Su. We are just friends. I hope that what happened today will not become an obstacle to our future development.”
Ye Chengyan's low, husky voice was full of sincerity.
Yu Baisu, standing to the side, couldn't quite maintain her smile.
Was she just a friend to Ye Chengyan?
What about all that happened in the past?
Looking at Ye Chengyan's humble demeanor, Yunzhi felt a momentary daze, as if in her memory, Ye Chengyan had also bowed his head and begged her for something in the same way.
That was when she completed her mission and the system asked her whether to stay in this world or return to her original world. She hesitated and wavered. At that moment, Ye Chengyan keenly sensed something, lowered his head and begged her to stay with him for the rest of her life, and promised that he would only be good to her for the rest of his life.
But promises made in youth are too fragile.
She was too naive; because she had no relatives, she actually believed Ye Chengyan's lies.
Perhaps at that time, Ye Chengyan was only greedy for the convenience she could bring him.
Perhaps at that time, Ye Chengyan was simply used to her being by his side and couldn't accept the possibility of her leaving.
But no matter what, Ye Chengyan broke his promise.
After returning to China, Yu Baisu experienced too much, from unconditional trust in Ye Chengyan to utter disappointment. She had long since lost basic trust in the man in front of her.
"Mr. Ye is really joking. If I remember correctly, Miss Yu and Mr. Ye eat and live together. You two are not related and live under the same roof. What else could you be but fiancée? Mr. Ye, please don't hurt Miss Yu's feelings."
Out of the corner of her eye, Yunzhi saw Yu Baisu looking at Ye Chengyan expectantly, just like she had been foolish before.
This man is cold-hearted to the core.
When he loves you, he will make you feel like the happiest woman in the world; when he doesn't love you, he will leave without hesitation, ignoring your pleas.
Ye Chengyan couldn't give Yu Baisu a perfect answer.
Sure enough, Ye Chengyan frowned after hearing this, and without even looking at Yu Baisu, he said seriously, "She's just a childhood friend. After the Yu family fell on hard times, I took care of her out of consideration for the past relationship between our two families. Besides, Baisu will be joining a film crew for work soon, so please don't misunderstand, Miss Yun."
When Ye Chengyan was explaining, he only paid attention to Yunzhi and did not notice Yu Baisu's ever-changing expression.
When Yu Baisu heard Ye Chengyan say that he was only taking care of her out of consideration for their childhood friendship, her face turned ugly for a moment. When she heard him say that she was about to join the crew, her expression became astonished, obviously she had only just heard about joining the crew.
Ye Chengyan's words sounded so grand and dignified that Yunzhi almost laughed.
Joining the production team? She remembered that Yu Baisu did seem to be in the entertainment industry, but she couldn't remember exactly what she did. Since moving into the Ye family villa, Yu Baisu had been neglecting her duties and, under the pretext of being physically weak, had been inseparable from Ye Chengyan.
Yunzhi had lost count of how many times Yu Baisu had used the excuse of feeling unwell to call Ye Chengyan away from her.
Sometimes she even wondered if she was not in the modern world, but in the backyard of someone in ancient times, because a man was vying for the affections of other women.
Is Ye Chengyan unaware that Yu Baisu is just an excuse?
he knows.
He simply enjoys the thrill of two women vying for each other, the excitement of ambiguity and teetering on the edge of morality—this is a flaw unique to him.
She even suspected that if she agreed to be with Ye Chengyan now, it wouldn't be long before he would act like he did in her previous life, keeping her at arm's length and flirting with his so-called friends, causing her to fall into self-doubt.
She knew all along that once she got something, she wouldn't cherish it, didn't she?
She used to think it was just part of the plot, but now she understands that it's all because Ye Chengyan himself isn't a good person, and the deep affection he shows is just an act.
He was like a skilled actor, trying to soften her heart and make her fall for him with his feigned affection; it was just one of his methods of hunting.
Yunzhi smiled politely and spoke softly.
"I'm sorry, this is between you and Miss Yu, it has nothing to do with me, and I think you don't need to explain to me, I don't care much about your relationship."
Ye Chengyan looked puzzled, seemingly not understanding why Yunzhi's reaction was different from what he had expected.
In his view, he rarely felt moved, and everything he did was based on instinct. Yunzhi was sometimes too harsh on him.
Moreover, the woman in front of him felt like a gust of wind, impossible to grasp or catch, yet she captivated his heart and soul, making him reluctant to let go.
Ye Chengyan looked down at Yun Zhi's calm expression, his competitive spirit ignited. He looked deeply into Yun Zhi's eyes and said, "Miss Yun, you will care about this someday."
"Then I'll wait and see." Yunzhi turned her head away, her smile playful, not taking Ye Chengyan to heart.
She has already died once.
If she doesn't learn her lesson after suffering such a huge loss at Ye Chengyan's hands, she might as well go back to school and start over.
Yu Baisu, who was being ignored, was burning with anger.
The two looked into each other's eyes, as if everyone around them, including her, was invisible.
She seemed to have become part of their play.
In the end, Ye Chengyan was the first to withdraw his gaze and leave with Yu Baisu.
When Yu Baisu left, her eyes flashed with an unusual look as she turned to look at Yunzhi.
Yunzhi was more attractive to Ayan than she had imagined.
She needed to deal with Yunzhi as soon as possible, otherwise Ayan would no longer notice her.
Yunzhi naturally noticed Yu Baisu's malice towards her.
But she didn't take it to heart.
In this life, Yu Baisu will likely still hire someone to kill her, just like in the previous one, but she won't be so foolish this time.
She had already had a private investigator watching Yu Baisu's every move.
