Chapter 654: 640, Bai Jue, I like you (1)_1

Zhan Mingyan fastened her seatbelt again, huffing coldly.

Only after seeing her buckle her seatbelt did Bai Jue start the car.

On the road, both of them remained silent.

The road to the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, was quite peaceful.

Zhan Mingyan lowered her head, fiddling with her recovered bracelet, and secretly observed the man driving beside her.

“Hey Plain Jane, are you dazzled by my good looks?” Bai Jue asked with an insolent smirk, controlling the steering wheel with one hand.

“You can look directly, you don’t have to sneak peeks. I am very generous,” he continued.

Zhan Mingyan’s face turned red, whether from embarrassnt or anger, it was hard to tell.

“Stop joking around. Who would want to look at you?” she retorted.

Bai Jue teased, “Soone was peeping at

just now.”

“What a joke, you’re such a narcissist. You’re so ugly, who would bother to sneak peeks at you?” Zhan Mingyan hastily blurted out.

Upon hearing her associate the word “ugly” with him, Bai Jue chuckled sarcastically.

He leaned towards her, his gaze narrowing dangerously. “Am I ugly?”

“Hey, hey, what are you doing? Stay away from !” Seeing him leaning closer, Zhan Mingyan shrank away, like a frightened rabbit.

“Just drive.”

Bai Jue smirked, moving even closer to her. “You said I’m ugly?”

“So what if you’re ugly? Can’t I state the obvious?” Zhan Mingyan glared at him defiantly, avoiding his gaze.

“Plain Jane, you sure have guts,” Bai Jue teased, gently holding her chin, his touch light.

“Pervert!” Zhan Mingyan swatted his hand away angrily, puffing up her cheeks to glare at him.

Bai Jue smirked, “Calling

a pervert, yet you still dared to get in my car.”

Zhan Mingyan clenched her teeth, giving him a cold hum and then turning her head away to ignore him.

Seeing her reaction, Bai Jue decided to drop the conversation and focused on driving.

As dusk fell, the sky turned auburn, bathing the sea in golden light.

The mont Bai Jue parked the car, his phone rang.

Picking up the call, he heard Han Yue’s voice on the other end.

“Bai Jue, where are you?”

Bai Jue glanced at the woman beside him unbuckling her seatbelt and replied with a smirk, “Picked up a stray kitten, planning on taking it ho.”

Upon hearing his words, Zhan Mingyan’s expression froze.

Unaware of her downcast mood, Bai Jue jovially continued his conversation with Han Yue.

“Are you and Axuan at Dihao?”

“Yeah, a few hotties just arrived at Dihao. Want to co over and check them out?” On the other end, Han Yue was lazing on a couch, a curvy beauty nestled in his arms.

As the sea breeze roared, Han Yue’s words echoed in Zhan Mingyan’s ears. She thought back to the scene she saw at Dihao’s private room—it was Bai Jue with beauties hanging all over him, and he seed to be enjoying it.

Zhan Mingyan, oh Zhan Mingyan, are you really up to woo a man like that?

At this mont, she began to doubt the words she told Jian Qing, wondering if she could really hold on.

Before she could gather her thoughts, Bai Jue’s voice rang out again.

“Sure, I am going back to M Country tomorrow, so I can hang out with you guys tonight.”

Going back to M Country?

Zhan Mingyan lowered her head, her pupils contracting slightly.

He’s going back!

If he goes back to M Country, wouldn’t her chances with him beco even slimr?

“I’ll be there later. Gotta hang up.” Bai Jue ended the call. Seeing her lost in thought, he nudged her with his elbow.

“Zhan Mingyan, what are you daydreaming about?”

Zhan Mingyan glanced up, pretending to play it cool. “You’re going back to M Country?”

Bai Jue nodded and grinned, “What, can’t bear to part with ?”

This ti, Zhan Mingyan didn’t rush to rebuff him.

She looked at him intently, her voice barely a whisper, “What if I said that I can’t bear to see you go?”

The words were both suggestive and indirect, tinged with nervousness.

If he leaves, she didn’t know if she would get a chance to see him again. Before that, she didn’t want to have any regrets.

The tender voice of the woman, struck his heart. Bai Jue was shocked, as he never expected her to say sothing like that.

Can’t bear to see him go?

“Zhan Mingyan, you…”

As he looked into her bright eyes, Bai Jue found himself at a loss for words for once.

Summoning her courage, Zhan Mingyan said again, “Bai Jue, I like you!”

Without flowery language, she plainly confessed her feelings for him.

Ti seed to stand still, and the atmosphere beca subtly tense.

If the previous statent was a surprise, then this one was a fright for Bai Jue.

His eyes widened in shock and his laughter froze.

“Zhan Mingyan, did sothing weird happen to you today?”

After her declaration, Zhan Mingyan’s heart was pounding. Her hands clenched her skirt as she repeated, “Bai Jue, I like you!”

Bai Jue, used to being a joker, was montarily bewildered when soone seriously confessed their feelings for him.

“Zhan Mingyan, are you serious?”

As she t his gaze and saw the mingling emotions in his eyes, she felt a jolt of fear.

Instead of answering, she retorted, “Bai Jue, do you really have no affection for

at all?”

Only she knew how nervous and expectant she was when she asked this.

Bai Jue looked at her steadily. The sea breeze mussed her hair. Her flushed face was attractively shined. He hesitated.

After a long while, he softly said, “I’m sorry.”

He was as passing as the wind; love did not belong to him.

His terse response hit her like a thunderbolt, extinguishing the spark of hope in her eyes almost instantly.

In shock, she gaped at him.

“Zhan Mingyan, you…”

As Bai Jue saw her saddened expression, he wanted to offer so comforting words.

Before he could speak, she suddenly laughed.

She blinked, pushing away the tears welling in her eyes, and bead at him. “Hahaha, Bai Jue, got fooled by , didn’t you? Pretty good acting, huh?”

Bai Jue looked at her skeptically, “You were acting just now?”

She suppressed the dull pain in her chest and smiled, “Of course, you’ve tricked

so many tis, it’s about ti I tricked you back. It seems my acting was quite successful.”

“So, when you said you like …” Bai Jue trailed off.

Zhan Mingyan interrupted him, “Of course it’s fake. With your vanity and nasty mouth, how could I ever like you? I was just playing around.”

As he didn’t have feelings for her, naturally she was just playing around.

Well, it seed it was all just wishful thinking on her part.

Bai Jue saw the smile on her face and breathed a sigh of relief, joking, “Zhan Mingyan, it would be a waste if you didn’t beco an actress.”

“Hahaha!” Zhan Mingyan laughed even harder, covering her sadness with an exaggerated laugh.

“I was thinking the sa thing. Maybe I should beco an actress in the future.”
