Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Contemporary Liu Xia Hui

"Do you like me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he quietly cursed to himself, "Big sister, are you trying to trap me?"

He was at a loss for words, unsure whether it was better to respond or remain silent.

Seeing that Ye Xuan wasn’t speaking, Su Yumo’s hopeful expression faded, and her pretty face turned pale. She bit her lip and asked, "Ye Xuan... don’t you like me?"

"I..."

Ye Xuan opened his mouth and gave a bitter smile. He couldn’t say he liked her, could he?

His lawful wife was just outside the door; if he dared to say he liked another woman...

No! If he even dared to express a hint of interest, he swore he would have nowhere to bury himself when he died.

"To be honest, I don’t like you."

Finally, Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and spoke.

Considering his future happiness, he had no choice but to cruelly reject her!

As expected, when Su Yumo heard these words from Ye Xuan’s mouth, her face instantly turned deathly pale, with disappointment apparent in her eyes.

She had mustered the courage for the first time to confess her feelings to the man she liked, and yet she was rejected! This man didn’t like her at all.

Was this a punishment from the heavens?

How many times had a similar scene played out before, with her rejecting others? But this time, she was the one being rejected!

In that moment, Su Yumo felt an immense pain in her heart, like it was being pricked by needles, and large tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"Ye Xuan, do you... do you really not like me?"

Looking up at Ye Xuan with tears brimming in her eyes, Su Yumo appeared pitiful.

Seeing her like this, Ye Xuan felt unbearable pain and nearly blurted out an agreement.

Sigh!

With a heavy sigh, Ye Xuan had to harden his heart and said indifferently, "To be honest, we haven’t known each other for long. What reason do I have to like you? From the beginning, you looked at me coldly and acted as if you wanted to devour me! You often caused trouble for me, dragging me into doing free labor, and in the end, I didn’t even receive anything in return! Tell me, why should I like a woman who is always at odds with me?"

After speaking, Ye Xuan gave a wry smile inside, thinking, "Refusing a beautiful woman who comes knocking – am I not worse than a beast... No, it’s beyond that!"

He felt like a modern-day Leih Shih-wei.

"But... but I’ve changed since then!" Su Yumo said, a bit aggrieved.

At first, when they met, she indeed had a bad impression of Ye Xuan and was always antagonistic toward him!

So, it was only natural that Ye Xuan didn’t like her, and she had nothing to say in response.

But later, she had tried her best to change, and what she couldn’t accept was that this was her first time confessing to someone, and she had been rejected! It was utterly embarrassing.

"You did change, but that’s because you developed feelings for me. Otherwise, would you have let me off so easily?" Ye Xuan retorted.

"I..."

Su Yumo wanted to argue but found herself at a loss for words.

"Alright, you’ve just recovered. Let’s talk about this later; I’ll go make some food first! You haven’t eaten all day; you must be hungry."

Ye Xuan ended the conversation between them with a gentle smile.

Su Yumo was stunned, lost in thought, not even noticing when Ye Xuan left. She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Lin Tong was also lost in thought on the living room sofa.

Seeing Ye Xuan come out, she quickly gathered herself and hurriedly approached him, asking, "Ye Xuan, how is Yumo doing?"

"There should be no problem now. Go and see her; I’ll start cooking."

Ye Xuan was feeling a bit guilty at the moment, and after casually responding, he hurried into the kitchen.

Lin Tong didn’t have time to deal with him; she briskly walked into the room and, seeing Su Yumo on the sofa, asked, "Yumo, are you feeling better?"

"Ah? I... I’m fine! Oh, Lin Tong, you’re here too?"

Su Yumo was suddenly awakened and upon seeing Lin Tong in the room, her pretty face immediately turned as red as flaming clouds, full of embarrassment!

She had just been confessing to Ye Xuan, not realizing that Lin Tong was also there. Didn’t that mean Lin Tong heard everything she said during her confession?

Oh dear! How embarrassing!

Lin Tong was feeling equally complicated at that moment.

She sighed deeply, with a meaningful expression, "So, you just realized I’m here?"

Her best friend had just confessed to her husband, right in front of her; Lin Tong didn’t even know what to say.

"Lin Tong, I’m so sorry! I just woke up and didn’t notice you."

Su Yumo said softly. She had no idea about the relationship between Lin Tong and Ye Xuan, and as such, she didn’t feel guilty!

She was just feeling shy in front of Lin Tong, afraid of being laughed at.

But how could Lin Tong laugh at her? Wouldn’t that mean laughing at herself too?

After waving her hand and collecting her emotions, Lin Tong changed the topic, "Let’s not talk about that, everyone is a bit hungry, let’s eat first."

"Okay, sure."

Su Yumo nodded her head, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up before eating.

Half an hour later.

Ye Xuan came out of the kitchen and placed the food on the table, calling out to the two women:

"Come on, let’s fill our stomachs, or we won’t even have the energy to talk."

After washing up, Su Yumo and Lin Tong sat at the table together, picked up their bowls, and began eating.

The three of them sat together, eating silently, creating a rather awkward atmosphere.

Lin Tong was distracted, eating while glancing at Su Yumo beside her, wanting to ask what had happened.

But after considering it, she felt too embarrassed to ask. After all, Su Yumo had just overcome that fearful emotion. Asking her now seemed somewhat unreasonable and might remind her of unpleasant things.

Forget it, I’ll find another time to ask, Lin Tong thought to herself.

Thus, Lin Tong continued to eat in silence.

Su Yumo also remained quiet!

Her silence was naturally due to her failed confession to Ye Xuan, which left her feeling choked up! Moreover, having Lin Tong witness her confession made her unprecedentedly embarrassed. Not knowing what to say, she chose to say nothing at all and just kept her head down, eating.

If the two women weren’t talking, Ye Xuan was even less likely to speak.

He felt guilty, like a thief caught by his wife for flirting with another woman. How could he not feel nervous!

He was sweating profusely, not daring to meet Lin Tong’s eyes.

Even though it wasn’t his fault, as it was the other party who had made the confession, it was still better to say less at this time to avoid offending either of them.

For a while, all three remained silent, each buried in their meals, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere!

"Cough cough..."

Finally, a faint cough broke the silence at the scene.

"Lin Tong, Yumo, how’s the taste of the food? Does it suit your palate?"

Ye Xuan gave an embarrassed smile; he just couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked the two women, who were heavily focused on their meals.

If this continued, he felt like his awkwardness would become unbearable!
