Chapter 38
I’ve Always Liked Only You
Zhou Chen said with a painful expression, “Ye Yao, it’s really not my fault. Ye Sui got me drunk and drugged me, that’s how I ended up with her. After the incident, I was very flustered and felt really guilty. I didn’t dare to tell you.”
Ye Yao rolled her eyes. Initially, Ye Sui might have really used a special method to lure Zhou Chen into bed. But later on, Zhou Chen also enjoyed this excitement. As a result, after the matter was exposed, the Ye family and the Zhou family reacted quickly and sent her overseas in a flash. In other words, the Ye family and the Zhou family had long known about Ye Sui and Zhou Chen. She was the only one who was kept in the dark. Everyone was plotting against her.
To Ye Yao, it was normal for Ye Tianhao to do such a shameless thing. All these years, Ye Tianhao had always valued Ye Sui more. Zhou Chen’s parents had never liked her, especially Zhou Chen’s mother, Tang Sumei. However, Zhou Chen was also tacitly agreeing to these things… When she thought of these things, however, Ye Yao was also somewhat glad that she did not end up marrying Zhou Chen.
Smiling at Zhou Chen, she said, “It takes two hands to clap. Moreover, your mother likes Ye Sui a lot. You have to treat her better in the future.”
“I don’t like Ye Sui…” Zhou Chen said anxiously.
“It’s fine. Feelings can be nurtured.”
“No, I’ve always liked only you.”
Ye Yao spread her hands. “What do you want? Do you want me to say that I don’t like you, that my boyfriend is thousands of times better than you, that I don’t want to return to you? I’ve said these words before, right? But you don’t understand human language! Why should I want a rotten ex like you when my current boyfriend is so outstanding? Is my brain damaged?”
Zhou Chen’s face turned ashen. In fact, he had already thought of this outcome. The Zhou family used to be an elite family in S City and were glorious wherever they went. However, in the capital, they were like anyone else. His sense of superiority had completely disappeared.
Zhou Chen did not like the capital. He looked at Ye Yao uncomfortably. “But Ye Yao… we’re truly in love…”
“Oh, then only you are in love. To me, you’re history.” At this point, the milk tea was ready. She collected the order and turned to go.
Indignant, Zhou Chen ran after her. “Ye Yao, I didn’t expect you to become such a person. You refuse to reconcile with me because you’ve hooked up with a richer man. You’re greedy and materialistic!”
“Why should I reconcile with you? What reasons do I have? So that you’ll cheat on me again? So that you can be indecisive and drag things out? Or so that your mother can point fingers at me and despise me?”
Zhou Chen stood there in a daze. Ye Yao’s words were like knives stabbing at his heart.
Ye Yao continued walking ahead, her expression icy. She must have been crazy back then to like this scumbag, Zhou Chen. She had even almost lost her life because of him.
Zhou Chen would not give up and continued his attempt to stop Ye Yao. “Ye Yao, you can’t humiliate yourself like this. Who is Gao Qiao? He’s a playboy! I’ve investigated him. He changes his girlfriend ten times a month on average. Don’t be deceived by him! He’s not sincere towards you.”
The corners of Ye Yao’s mouth twitched. Indeed, this group of brainless people thought Gao Qiao was her boyfriend. For goodness’ sake, she wouldn’t like a playboy like Gao Qiao either!
At this point, Gao Qiao, who was waiting for the milk tea, suddenly sneezed. “I think someone is talking bad about me.”
“Maybe you’ve done too many wicked things,” suggested Huo Buyu.
Gao Qiao retorted, “I’m a good citizen on all three counts…”
Ye Yao smiled at Zhou Chen. “I can manage my own business. As for you, just mind yourself. Don’t cause me more trouble.”
“No!”
“There’s a rock under your foot. Be careful not to fall…”
“Arghhh!”
Before Ye Yao could finish speaking, Zhou Chen stumbled over a rock. It was so painful that his face turned pale.
Ye Yao sneered and decided to put a big curse on Zhou Chen. “Zhou Chen, you have to live with a clear conscience. A two-faced person like you is full of lies. Be careful or you’ll encounter ghosts at night!” With that, she strode away.
Zhou Chen stood rooted to the ground, his face ashen. His big toe had stubbed against a rock, and a sprinkling of cold sweat had broken out across his forehead.
By the time Ye Yao returned, food had already been served. As she handed over the milk tea, Huo Buyu asked her, “Why were you gone for so long?”
“I ran into my ex-boyfriend.”
Huo Buyu was speechless. “???”
As was Gao Qiao. “!!!”
