228 Do I look like a joke to you?
Jin Yue closed the door behind him and walked towards the sleeping figure. Her eyes were tightly shut and he could vividly make out the dark lines under her them_ she had stayed up all night?
At that mont, Jin Yue, for a split second, he felt a pang on his chest, but it disappeared as soon as it ca.
He should not think much of it, she had soone she loved and that was more important. He knew she didn't hate him but after last night, he was sure that she was not in love with him.
He had spent the whole night making up his mind, but right now, he felt all his resolve weaken_ he could not bring himself to do it.
Xin Yong sensed that soone was in the room, a small frown appeared on her forehead, after which her eyes fluttered open.
''Jin Yue? ''
She blinked severally to be sure that she was not seeing things,
''Jin Yue? Where have you been? I've been calling you and you've not been picking up your calls. What's going on?''
As she spoke, tears gathered up her eyes and her small body shook lightly. Jin Yue who was looking at her imdiately looked away, his face frosted.
''Talk to , what's wrong? We can sort things out. Please!''
Xin Yong imdiately stood up from the couch and made to walk towards him. She held his arm with her hand as she watched him worriedly.
Jin Yue had not said anything to her since he stepped into the house. She was getting apprehensive each passing second.
Jin Yue, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly took in a deep breath and pulled her hand off him, which made Xin Yong fall back a few steps.
He imdiately proceeded towards his room and banged the door afterwards. It took Xin Yong a while to co back to her senses.
Did he just yank her hand off him?
It was clear now, sothing was actually very wrong and it had sothing to do with her.
Xin Yong stared at her hand before glancing at the tightly shut door.
The problem was not that he was angry but that he had refused to speak to her. The more she stared at the door the more flustered she beca.
'What's all these? Even if he's angry with , can't he at least tell what's wrong! '
After a while, Xin Yong stord towards the door and prepared to bang on it, but before her hand ca in contact with the door, it flung open and an unperturbed looking Jin Yue stepped out.
Her hand which was hanging on the air slowly fell back down.
Jin Yue stared at her for a brief second before walking past her to a couch. He placed a docunt on the table and a pen over it..
''Miss Xin Yong, please co sign this.''
Xin Yong stood stupefied at a spot for a whole five seconds.
Apart from the sound from the heater, the room was eerily quiet. Xin Yong slowly turned around to look at Jin Yue, who was sitting less concerned by the table.
''Please, I have an important eting to attend, can you not waste my ti?''
Her eyes fluttered and her hands shook lightly. The man sitting on the couch was nothing like the man she knew _nothing.
He had this cold aura around him, and his eyes did not even glance at her for a second.
If not that she could recognize him, she would have sworn that she did not know this person.
After a while, Xin Yong summoned courage and walked towards the couch. Her shaky hands picked up the docunt and scanned it carefully; a frown slowly appeared on her forehead.
''What is this?''
She asked; a tremble in her voice.
''That is a deed to a mansion in the heart of the city, after you sign it, the house becos yours. And this is a blank check, input any amount and it's all yours.''
Xin Yong felt her whole body freeze as the words from his lips ca flying into her ears. She did not want to believe what she just heard. Her throat felt so dry that her eyes began to sting; still she forced herself to speak.
''Why are you giving them to ? ''
There was silence in the room for a brief mont before Jin Yue looked up at her with the most distant eyes she had ever seen.
''Are you dumb or you are just pretending to be?''
