Chapter 150: Screwed Up (2)
Zhao Youlin was a little shocked before she cocked her eyebrows and cast Ye Yan a profound glance. She chuckled, “Mr. Ye, are you confessing to ?”
Ye Yan did not act affectatiously and grinned as he answered, “And if I say I am?”
Zhao Youlin’s gaze froze when she heard this, and her eyes gained a frosty look in an instant when she looked at Ye Yan. “And if I refuse?”
Ye Yan instinctively frowned. He was a little taken aback by Zhao Youlin’s rciless words, but he did not panic, as if he expected that Zhao Youlin would not do what she said. “Youlin, if possible, I still want you to at least consider it. You don’t have to be in a hurry to give
an answer, I’m willing to wait. Just don’t be in a hurry to reject . After all, the request I made isn’t that over the top. I just want a chance to court you, and I’m not being rude to you by asking you to be my girlfriend straight away. This isn’t too big of a loss for you, and in fact, you can get the agreent you want because of it, it’s not a loss at all for you, isn’t it?”
“You don’t think this is being rude to ?” Zhao Youlin looked like she had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. The ice in her gaze did not thaw because of Ye Yan’s explanation. Instead, it beca even colder. “I know that to you, perhaps compared to saying sothing as straightforward as ‘I fancy you, so I want to sleep with you’, saying that you want to court
sounds much more tactful, but I must tell you…”
She paused for a mont, and there was a storm stirring in her eyes. “In my dictionary, your tactful confession is no different from those annoying words the others spew at . Not only is it no different, it’s even more disgusting than theirs. At the very least, they voice their thoughts clearly, but your tactful words just make you sound like a hypocrite. At the end of the day, it’s just the difference between a real rascal and soone who pretends to be serious by putting on the facade of a kind person.”
Zhao Youlin’s thoughts were simple. If a man liked her and wanted to pursue her, that was fine.
Even though she was unfortunate enough to have been reborn into a woman who was once married and had a son, she was now divorced and single, she could absolutely try to get into a new relationship with soone else.
So, if a man just ca over to her and said that he liked her and wanted her to give him a chance to court her, even if she did not like him, she would tactfully reject him and thank him for liking her.
But unfortunately, Ye Yan did not do that. Instead, he thought of taking another way and wanted to use this agreent to get closer to Zhao Youlin. But this seemingly genius move ended up being a stupid one, because it had stomped on Zhao Youlin’s tail.
In truth, this was not the first ti Zhao Youlin had ever ran into sothing like this. Due to her good looks, in her previous life, when she first entered the police force, she quickly ran into a superior who had ill intentions with her.
That man gave her overt and covert hints, but Zhao Youlin remained unshaken. In the end, the man just could not hold back anymore and approached Zhao Youlin while she was on duty at night alone.
Zhao Youlin could still rember it. That man had approached her, and with a smug look on his face, he had promised to let her enjoy all sorts of great benefits after she dated him.
That smug, better-than-thou look was sothing Zhao Youlin could rember even more. At that ti, Zhao Youlin was still young and hot-headed. She did not think about the consequences and only knew the anger flooding within her, and she… ahem. She punched the disgusting man until he fell on the floor, and he might have lost half of his lifespan because of it.
It was easy to imagine what happened next. The man was stationed to a new post later on. He only kept getting promoted, and he was in such high spirits because of it. It was an unbearable sight.
anwhile, Zhao Youlin received a huge warning because of it, and after that, she never had an easy ti. After serving for a few years, her rate of promotion happened at a snail’s pace, and in the end, she was only the captain of a small squad.
However, it was all thanks to this ruckus that it caused the people who had malicious intentions with Zhao Youlin to slowly get rid of their thoughts, and they no longer dared to do anything that crossed her boundaries. Zhao Youlin was very satisfied with it.
Even if her superiors occasionally caused her trouble because of it in the future, she never regretted it.
But she never expected that after so many years, soone like this had appeared again and used so sort of business deal to give weight to his feelings, and he even asked her to give him a chance because of it.
Zhao Youlin’s reaction had been completely against Ye Yan’s expectations, so much so that Ye Yan actually beca speechless because of Zhao Youlin’s aggressive mockery. He did not know how to explain to Zhao Youlin that his feelings for her were real.
When Ye Yan finally registered what was happening and wanted to say sothing, Zhao Youlin’s next words killed the next words on his tongue.
“You just ntioned that I wouldn’t suffer any losses if I agreed to your condition, right?’
When Ye Yan saw the mockery on Zhao Youlin’s lips, for so reason, he suddenly felt that sothing bad was about to happen.
“I…” The third son of the Ye family had always been fooling around with won and had a sweet tongue, but now, he did not know what to say, which was sothing rare for him.
Of course, Zhao Youlin did not intend to give him a chance to explain things.
A cold sneer blood on her lips, and Zhao Youlin mocked him rather cruelly, “So, in your heart, feelings are sothing that can be asured by profit and loss. You really opened my eyes.”
“Youlin, that’s not what I ant…” For the first ti ever, Ye Yan’s words completely failed him.
“Mr. Ye, if that’s not what you ant, then what exactly do you an? But that’s fine, it doesn’t matter what you an, I don’t believe I’ll want to hear any of it. There’s a saying, when a conversation becos disagreeable, it’s a waste to say even one more word. Perhaps to you, what you said just now doesn’t bear any special aning, but to , you’ve absolutely offended . To a certain degree, our views on life are different, and since it’s so different, it’s hard for us to find a common language. I’m afraid that I cannot agree to the requests you ntioned just now, Mr. Ye.”
“Youlin, listen to …” Ye Yan wanted to defend himself, but Zhao Youlin interrupted him once again.
“Also, I believe that there is no need for us to continue with this al anymore. Let’s pretend that all that transpired today never happened, and I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear what you just said. We can also pretend that we’ve never talked about this agreent before. As for how you intend to deal with that plot of land later, it’s up to you. I can’t interfere with your decisions, and I don’t intend to. Let’s end things here for now. I have sothing else to do, so I’ll be taking my leave. I’ll see you again—No, if possible, I hope that I will never see you again, Mr. Ye.” Once Zhao Youlin finished speaking, she picked up her handbag and left.
When Ye Yan saw this, he wanted to stop her in alarm, but Zhao Youlin saw through him first and moved her body to the side to avoid Ye Yan’s hand, and she left swiftly.
Ye Yan looked at his empty hand and remained dazed for a long while. When he snapped out of it and looked at the door, Zhao Youlin was no longer in sight.
He curled his empty hand into a fist, and a hint of self-deprecation flashed in Ye Yan’s eyes. He also looked rather pathetic because of it. He… seed to have been too hasty and ended up making things worse.
