My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1990: How Could I Have Met You

His face, due to pride and self-esteem, was expressionless as he didn’t want to be looked down upon by her.

"Truly a heartless woman."

"No match for a callous and ungrateful man like you." Yiyi snorted.

"How did I end up meeting a woman like you?" Ling Kong glared at her fiercely.

He didn’t know what kind of feelings he had when he came to see her. At the banquet in Eagle Country, he really hated her, but alongside that hatred, there was an underlying unwillingness to give her up, driving him to search tirelessly.

Later, finding out she had returned, he felt a sense of relief mixed with doubt. That night, she had declared herself and Fengye Wuyin as an engaged couple. Yet, she returned to the country soon after. Upon reflection, he felt there must be something more to it.

Maybe... what she said at that time was just a temporary measure, otherwise, she wouldn’t have abandoned Fengye Wuyin and run back.

Maybe she didn’t have that much affection for Fengye Wuyin.

Thinking this way, he found hope again, believing he might have misunderstood something. Perhaps she also misunderstood, heard all those rumors outside, and mistakenly thought he had something with Lie Fengzi, thus getting so angry.

But such things are utterly groundless; he could explain it to her. He intended to have a good talk tonight, to clear up all misunderstandings between them.

However, at this moment, seeing her indifferent expression and hearing her easily chatting and laughing with Wu Bai about going out for dinner and fun, she seemed so enthusiastic. Not at all bothered like he had been over the past month, seemingly unaffected by that matter.

Clearly, she had never cared about him from the beginning to the end, a fact he had continuously overlooked.

"You gave up on me, then abandoned that man, and now you plan to choose him?" His gaze grew colder as he looked at her and Wu Bai. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Wu Bai was astonished, displaying an innocent expression.

Even he got dragged into this cold war, truly a collateral damage.

"It’s none of your business; you have no right to meddle in my affairs anymore." Yiyi was displeased.

"Then I’ll ask you one last time, have you really decided to break up with me?" Ling Kong’s eyes like burning flames, his voice cold to the extreme.

Yiyi was stunned; she really didn’t understand this person. Last time she had been clear enough, why did he keep asking the same question, knowing she’d inevitably refuse? Did he really enjoy being dumped?

It felt like an insult, did he have a masochistic tendency, or was there something he couldn’t let go?

"Yes, no matter how many times you ask, it’ll always be the same answer. I won’t be with you." She had made up her mind not to date in this world.

Ling Kong let out a strange laugh, lifting his head to look down at her: "I didn’t expect, in the end, to be toyed with by you. Don’t come crying to me for help in the future!"

This time, he calmly turned around and left, walking in the opposite direction from her.

"Is this really okay? He seems to have misunderstood our relationship. If you explain, I believe he can understand." Wu Bai chuckled helplessly.

Yiyi pouted, forcing a smile: "There’s no need to explain, anyway, he’s already offended. It won’t matter anymore, what’s the point of saying more, it’s better to be straightforward."

"I thought you really liked him."

Yiyi was taken aback, her smile even more strained: "Why would you think that?"

"Intuition, my intuition is quite accurate, you know." Wu Bai shrugged, laughing heartily, leisurely walking ahead, "Sometimes, the more indifferent on the surface, seemingly carefree, the more the heart might actually be torn apart."

"..." Yiyi ground her teeth in frustration.
