Chapter 225: Chapter 224: Female Swindler (6 updates)

Xu Niannian, due to her persistent training every day, had become much more responsive than before.

Liu Wendong hadn’t even touched her when she had already dodged away.

Xu Niannian frowned in displeasure, "Just say what you have to say, there’s no need to get so close."

Her displeasure instantly froze all the words Liu Wendong intended to say.

She didn’t like him anymore.

This realization made Liu Wendong very uncomfortable, so much so that the corners of his eyes reddened.

"Niannian, don’t you like me anymore?"

Xu Niannian paused, before she could ask him how he knew the original host had liked him, she then heard him say.

"Is it because I came to look for you too late? Niannian, I know you liked me. Give me a chance, can we be together?"

"No." Xu Niannian refused flatly, "The one I like is Jin Yu, he’s my fiancé, we are simply not possible."

From Xu Niannian’s repelling attitude towards him, Liu Wendong had already realized that she no longer liked him.

The confession continued only because he couldn’t accept it.

He couldn’t accept that he had discovered it so late.

At a time when she had already fallen for someone else, only then did he become aware that she had once had him in her heart.

Her resolute attitude let Liu Wendong know that there was no possibility between them anymore.

Liu Wendong didn’t continue to ask her why his name was carved on her arm.

Instead, he asked, "Niannian, did you ever love me?"

He asked about love, not like.

If it wasn’t love to the point of carving his name into her skin, why would she have done so?

She was so afraid of pain.

This question caught Xu Niannian off guard.

Loved? Of course, she had loved.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t her.

It was the original host.

With the identity of the original host, knowing that he wasn’t asking her but the original host, and since she had assumed the original host’s identity, she wanted to put an end to this relationship.

Xu Niannian hesitated for a moment, then finally answered him, "I loved."

"How much did you love?" Liu Wendong asked.

Xu Niannian pursed her lips, "Deeply, but that’s in the past now. We are not possible now, nor will we ever be."

Because the original host had already kicked the bucket.

Of course, it wasn’t possible.

She was just answering for the original host.

Having said that, Xu Niannian turned to head back to the shop, only to be met with a pair of profound eyes.

Jin Yu was standing at the corner of the wall.

He hadn’t come to eavesdrop but was feeling restless inside the shop, so he had stepped out for some fresh air, and didn’t expect to encounter Xu Niannian and Liu Wendong in the alley around the shop corner.

No more, no less, he had just heard the last two questions Liu Wendong asked her.

Jin Yu couldn’t describe what he was feeling, only that his chest felt unbearably tight, as if he couldn’t catch his breath.

Xu Niannian paused for a moment, unsure how much Jin Yu had heard, quickly walked towards him, and subconsciously grabbed his hand, wanting to explain, "Jin Yu..."

"There’s no need to explain." Jin Yu held her hand tightly, surprisingly not angry.

His dark eyes gazed at her, "All I know is that you like me now, and that’s enough for me."

"You, you’re not angry?" Xu Niannian asked.

Jin Yu fucking wanted to be angry, but he just couldn’t get angry, only feeling excruciatingly jealous.

To him it was just liking, but for that other man, she had deep love.

Could Jin Yu not feel bad?

Xu Niannian was the first woman he had ever fallen for, he was hers, body and soul.

Yet in her heart, there had been someone else who left a vivid mark.

Xu Niannian saw his pained expression, and her own guilt was overwhelming.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to explain, and finally, helplessly looking left and right, she saw no one outside the alley, and Liu Wendong had also left at some point.

Xu Niannian tiptoed and quickly pecked him on the lips, "Is it better now?"

Looking at her appeasing behavior, Jin Yu’s discomfort also dissolved.

Having promised to be good to her for a lifetime, how could he let her worry and get anxious? Jin Yu made an effort to smile at her and gave her a forceful peck on her lips.

"Let’s go back."

Xu Niannian held on to him, "The things I just said, don’t take them seriously."

"Hm?" Jin Yu looked puzzled at her, "Which part?"

"Umm..."

Xu Niannian hesitated for a second, then told him, "Don’t ask me why, but if I tell you something, will you believe me?"

"Of course." Jin Yu blurted out without hesitation, "I believe everything you say."

Hearing this, Xu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of touched feeling rose within her heart.

His unquestioning trust made a soft spot within her soften even further.

"Actually, you are the first man I’ve ever liked," Xu Niannian said, looking into his eyes.

Jin Yu almost thought he had heard wrong, "Say that again?"

Saying it once had already embarrassed Xu Niannian enough. To say it again made Xu Niannian cover her face in shyness, but she still repeated as requested.

"You are the first man I’ve liked."

Jin Yu stared blankly at Xu Niannian, remembering the conversation he had overheard earlier, and suddenly blurted out.

"That sounds so flippant..."

It felt like the words of a woman conning hearts.

The second before telling another man she had deeply loved him, the next second saying he was the first man she had ever liked.

Hearing those words, Xu Niannian: "......"

She turned around, eyes blazing with fury, and advanced step by step towards Jin Yu.

Jin Yu backed away against the wall, forehead breaking out in cold sweat, hands raised high in surrender, "Can you believe I misspoke?"

The response he got was Xu Niannian stomping angrily, grinding her foot back and forth on the back of his foot.
