Chapter 637
His eyes turned cold and his face contorted with rage . “I’ve never said that you’re a pawn!”
“You’re willing to be engaged with your so-called ‘pawn’, but you can’t even give me a legitimate title; am I not even worth a pawn in your eyes?!”
She laughed coldly . Her retort made his face even darker .
He was frozen in that instant .
“What do you mean?”
She smiled as she tried to remain calm, but a tremble could still be perceived in her voice . “Mu Yazhe, I like you . What about you? Do you like me, too?”
His lips parted, but no words came out .
The word ‘like’ was stuck in his throat, unable to be voiced out .
He was a proud and arrogant man, so he could not easily utter the word ‘like’ before the woman he had feelings for .
At his silence, the smile on her face slightly cooled .
“I’ll tell you this, too! Since I like you, I can acknowledge you and even give you my heart, so what about you? Can you do the same?”
He could .
Although that was what he thought, he could not convey it in words .
He stared at her ferociously . For a moment, it was all quiet .
“Do you know who I just met?”
With her face slightly pale as her lashes drooped in disappointment, she said weakly, “I met Song Enya . She righteously accused me before a crowd – ridiculed me for being the third party . Mu Yazhe, are my feelings cheap, or in your eyes, am I also merely a pawn for you to exploit and be at your beck and call? You can give Mu Wanrou a proper engagement, yet you can’t give me a legitimate title! I don’t want romantic dates or beautiful diamond pendants, and I don’t want you going through all this trouble to please me!”
She raised her eyes at him with a pale face .
Their eyes met .
She looked at him, then suddenly closed in on him, and pressed herself against his front . She lifted her finger and lightly tapped against his chest .
Right there was his powerful heartbeat .
“I want this; can you give it to me?”
He stared at her intently .
Her throat felt parched, but she persisted in her questioning . “The love I desire, I hope that it will have a legitimate title; can you give that to me?”
His continued silence gradually made her feel disheartened . She gave a hollow laugh and suddenly found this interrogation to be ludicrous .
She mentioned his heart .
In his heart, was she really a pawn that was there to do his every bidding?
“Do you know what marriage means to me? If you can’t even give me a legitimate title, why should I keep liking you?”
She gritted her teeth and weakly declared, “I don’t like you anymore!”
That one declaration was like an icicle stabbing deeply into his flesh . In that moment, his heart seemed to have been pierced fatally .
Did she just refuse to like him?
D*mn this woman! How could she act on her own?
Did he permit her not to like him?
He stood rooted to the spot . Along with the stiffening of his massive and proud frame, his facial expression also froze as his eyes showed puzzlement, humiliation, and anger .
Unable to accept his continued silence, she turned to leave .
He reached out to grab her arm tightly and pulled her back .
