Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Learn to Bark Like a Dog Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Learn to Bark Like a Dog Wei Zhijie imdiately felt her coldness and rejection.

Since the engagent party last ti, this was their first eting.

He had thought that during this ti, Hai Lan must have been heartbroken and haggard…

But he never expected to see her smiling happily just now, her smile not tinged with sorrow, but filled with happiness.

It seed as if, after leaving him, she was not only not worse off but actually happier.

Although Wei Zhijie had broken up with her, seeing her doing so well sohow made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was as if she had no feelings for him at all…

So he subconsciously stopped her, wanting to see if she really was doing well, but he did not expect her attitude to be so cold, looking at him as if he were a stranger.

n like Wei Zhijie have a rather large vanity.

He could betray Hai Lan, but seeing her lose any sentint towards him the mont she left made it sowhat unbearable for him.

After all, as an outstanding man, to suddenly have no charm and nothing worth pining for in the eyes of a woman he had dumped was quite a blow to his prestige.

No, he refused to believe he had fallen so much in value, all of these must be an act put on by Hai Lan.

She must be in pain, must still be thinking of him…

Convinced of these thoughts, Wei Zhijie felt relieved, then displayed a presumptuous sense of magnanimity, kindness, and a saint-like tolerance with a smile, “Hai Lan, how have you been lately? I an no harm, I just want to know if you’re doing okay.”

“And then?” Hai Lan looked at him indifferently, now that she set aside all emotions and looked at him, she realized that he really wasn’t that attractive. How could she have been so blind before?

Wei Zhijie was stunned, Hai Lan’s reaction was unexpected. He thought she would angrily curse him, tell him to get lost or sothing, and then he could continue to treat her with a heart full of tolerance. It seed like the more she was angry and despised him, the more he felt superior.

After all, the antonym of disdain is affection; if she disliked him, she must still vividly rember the pain he had caused her. Rembering the pain indicated that she hadn’t let go…

But what kind of answer was that?

Wei Zhijie did not follow up, so he asked in a different way, “Hai Lan, I know I hurt you, I know it’s hard for you, what can I do to make it up to you?”

“Bark like a dog.”

“What?” Wei Zhijie was stunned again.

Hai Lan looked at him seriously, “Zhijie, just bark like a dog, and then you won’t owe anything, really.”

Wei Zhijie’s saint-like, gentle, and tolerant deanor was a bit hard to maintain.

He looked at her sadly, frowning, “Hai Lan, I never ant to hurt you, I didn’t expect you to beco like this, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I truly would hate to hurt you even a little bit.”

Hai Lan gave a faint sneer, her gaze sharp with sarcasm, yet she nodded, “I know you wouldn’t hurt if you could. After all, you intended to play both sides from the beginning. If things hadn’t co to light, couldn’t you have avoided hurting ? Wei Zhijie, is the pedestal you’ve built for yourself grand enough? Otherwise, it wouldn’t suit your style, would it?”

“?”

It took a mont for Wei Zhijie to react and realize she was scolding him.

Scolding him for wanting to have his cake and eat it too… and not just any cake, the biggest one, with the grandest pedestal!
