Chapter 683: Chapter 652: Pressing Step by Step, Retreating Step by Step_1

However, Huo Yingjie wasn’t buying it!

"Humph!" Huo Yingjie was annoyed, knowing that Little Spirit Snake was no good, setting him up like that before leaving.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have helped that Little Spirit Snake and let the thunder strike him dead.

"Brother Yingjie, Snake King is my friend, and I think of him from time to time. That’s not a problem, right? My heart and body are still loyal to you," He Tiantian quickly assured. With Huo Yingjie throwing a tantrum, a few sweet nothings could extinguish his anger in no time.

Huo Yingjie stopped grunting, but turned his head away, ignoring He Tiantian.

Better coax this "big kid" quickly.

"Really, I’m not lying to you," He Tiantian ran in front of Huo Yingjie. "Don’t believe me? Feel for yourself, this heart beats for you!"

Huo Yingjie’s ears tinged red as he muttered, looking down, "I know now why you like water so much!"

"What?" He Tiantian was surprised. She wanted to know too. "Why is that?"

Huo Yingjie, looking at He Tiantian’s sparkling eyes with a touch of grievance, said, "Do you still remember what that annoying Little Spirit Snake did before he left?"

He Tiantian was taken aback, thought hard, and replied, "It doesn’t seem like he did anything special? I don’t remember, tell me, does my liking for water have anything to do with Snake King?"

"It does!" Huo Yingjie nodded affirmatively. "Do you still remember those two teardrops?"

Two teardrops?

He Tiantian suddenly realized and said, "When Snake King was about to enter the Spatial Rift, he shed two tears, which fell onto the palm of my hand. I remember now, I really do."

"So, do you remember what he said too?" Huo Yingjie asked in exasperation. That was a deep pit indeed!

"Let me think!" He Tiantian tilted her head, then her eyes widened as she finally understood why Huo Yingjie was angry.

The look Snake King gave before he left was very complicated, and the words he left behind were quite ambiguous.

"I like water, and I hope whenever you see water, you will think of me..."

She did remember, but now the jar of jealousy had been tipped over.

"Do you remember now?" Huo Yingjie spoke with a plaintive tone, his eyes accusing He Tiantian.

He Tiantian felt this couldn’t go on. There was no romantic relationship between her and Snake King; perhaps Snake King had some thoughts about her, but she had clearly rejected him.

"I remember!" He Tiantian nodded, pinching Huo Yingjie’s face. "Don’t look at me like you’re accusing your wife of having an affair, come on, let’s be reasonable, let’s sort out the issues between us!"

"You tell me," Huo Yingjie replied, willing to let He Tiantian explain.

"Maybe Snake King had some feelings for me, but I rejected him, right?" He Tiantian asked, looking earnestly at Huo Yingjie.

"Yes!" Huo Yingjie nodded, not denying it.

"Then there’s no romantic relationship between me and Snake King, correct?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, let’s continue!" He Tiantian pressed on. "Zhou Yuanyuan was unrequited, that wasn’t love, right?"

"Yes, of course it wasn’t love!"

"Wang Bing was crazy about you, doing those things, right?"

"Yes, but I don’t like her. It was one-sided!"

He Tiantian nodded and said, "So, when have I ever used these incidents to needle you or get angry at you?"

"That’s different!" Huo Yingjie objected, feeling he had been led astray by He Tiantian’s argument.

"How is it different?" He Tiantian challenged. "It’s all about admiring someone who already has a partner, me!"

"It’s just different!" Huo Yingjie argued unreasonably.

He Tiantian laughed and said, "Maybe it’s different. My Snake King would give up his own desires for my happiness, but those women who like you, each one crazier than the last! It really is quite different."

"Uh uh..." Huo Yingjie was at a loss for words!

It seemed the topic they were discussing wasn’t this!

"To some extent, the Snake King could be considered a gentleman," He Tiantian said. "I don’t love him, but he is my friend. I like him, respect him, and I hope you respect my friends just as I respect yours."

After finishing, He Tiantian picked up the clothes she was trying on, ready to go home.

Hum, this time, she would really deal with Huo Yingjie. Stop being so easily jealous all the time, isn’t it sour!

He Tiantian turned her back, ignoring Huo Yingjie.

Some things, explained a hundred times, are not as effective as getting angry once and saving the trouble of Huo Yingjie thinking she has no temper.

She did love him, desperately, madly, but that did not mean she had no self-respect, allowing Huo Yingjie to take advantage of her.

Seeing He Tiantian angry, Huo Yingjie was angry too.

But upon further reflection, it was indeed as He Tiantian said. Women like Zhou Yuanyuan, Wang Bing, and even more, had expressed their love for him, and he had rejected them, but each time it hurt Tiantian.

Even though each situation was resolved before it got too dangerous, Huo Yingjie felt guilty.

However, because He Tiantian never complained or blamed him, it made him feel a bit better, but that didn’t mean He Tiantian didn’t care about these things.

This time, his jealousy had provoked He Tiantian, making her speak her heart.

Thinking like that, Huo Yingjie realized he had been wrong.

"Tiantian..." Huo Yingjie said softly, "Actually, that Little Spirit Snake..."

"Don’t talk about others now, let’s talk about us," He Tiantian said. "Didn’t we agree on mutual trust? Where is the trust? Where is it?"

He Tiantian suddenly pointed at Huo Yingjie’s chest, closing in step by step.

Huo Yingjie retreated step by step.

In reality, He Tiantian’s strength was hardly enough to push Huo Yingjie.

But at that moment, He Tiantian’s fury was so intense, it overwhelmed Huo Yingjie.

"I..." Huo Yingjie was about to speak, when He Tiantian cut him off.

"What ’I’! Stop beating about the bush. Weren’t you so full of yourself just now? Speak up, speak!" He Tiantian said, tilting her chin up, her round little nostrils facing Huo Yingjie.

She was equally defiant!

Facing He Tiantian like this, Huo Yingjie’s retreating didn’t earn him any sympathy from her.

Therefore, Huo Yingjie stopped backing away and held He Tiantian tightly in his arms.

"Let’s talk nicely, let me go, what’s with the grabbing and touching!" He Tiantian said angrily, "Let go of me right now..."

"I won’t let go, I won’t!" Huo Yingjie said, leaning in to kiss He Tiantian.

Determined to follow the old saying, to reconcile at the bedside after a quarrel.

Although it was cliché, it was extremely effective.

In fact, the quarrels between the two were just petty spats, without any fundamental differences, which is why this method worked.

The following morning, looking at the long, loose hair of He Tiantian, she appeared as gorgeous as a peony in full bloom, irresistible.

Lifetime after lifetime, she was the one.

Huo Yingjie gently touched He Tiantian’s fair and soft cheek. So soft, so springy.

This person, this heart, they were all his.

Why was he worrying about so much!
