Into the Night, Jiao Jiao Gets Kissed by a Business Tycoon-Chapter 77 - I Used to Like You

It was a very uncomfortable feeling!

“At that time, I thought your confession was due to the arrangement of our families,” he took a deep breath and said, “And I also saw you kissing Han Jibai.”

Frowning, Xinan shook her head and denied it, “You must be mistaken, Brother Jibai and I don’t like each other, how could we kiss? Besides, he was already with Sister Shasha back then!”

“So… you have always liked me?” Cheng Yi smiled faintly, as if talking to himself.

Xinan nodded vigorously, “Yes.”

Cheng Yi felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, but his body was gradually stiffening. He stared motionlessly at Xinan, his eyes fixed on her clear and bright eyes.

In his younger days, he had dreamed about these eyes countless times, and now, these eyes were full of him.

Cheng Yi suddenly became fearful, even wanting to escape this place.

Xinan looked at Cheng Yi’s handsome face, her gaze growing gentler, “Brother Yi, in the past, you were indeed good to me, but I didn’t like you because you were good to me, nor because of the power behind you when I confessed to you.”

“As young people, we ate at street-side stalls together, listened to concerts together, and blew evening breezes by the river together. Later, I married you as I wished, but my desires go beyond this; we still have a lot of time, and I want to see other sceneries with you. Although all these things are very ordinary, they become precious because it is you.”

Xinan met Cheng Yi’s deep eyes, “So Brother Yi, are you willing to walk the rest of the road with me?”

“Will you join me at a banquet that belongs to us?”

“Do you… like me?”

This was the second time Xinan had asked this question today.

The whole restaurant was unusually quiet at this moment, even Jiang Yurou and Tan Bo, hiding in the dark, couldn’t help holding their breath.

Cheng Yi pursed his lips slightly; he knew that after Xinan said so much, it was his turn to speak.

When he realized that Xinan liked him, his emotions rollercoastered, the excitement, joy, and disorientation made Cheng Yi feel like a fool.

Moreover, he had already prepared himself to accept Xinan…

But he hadn’t expected what happened to him later.

He really, really wanted to express his feelings to Xinan, but it would be too selfish.

He couldn’t delay Xinan; it is better to have a short pain than a long one. He just needed to endure this period.

After a long while, Cheng Yi finally raised his eyes slowly to meet Xinan’s bright ones, “Nannan…”

Xinan knew that at this moment, the answer she had been waiting for was finally about to be revealed. Her heart began to get nervous, her breathing became fast, and her fingers clung tightly to the edge of her clothes, her eyes filled with excitement.

Cheng Yi sighed, not pausing this time, giving Xinan the answer she had always wanted, “Nannan, thank you for always liking me. Knowing that my place in your heart has always been occupied by me, I was really happy and excited. I admit, I liked you before.”

A bad premonition spread in Xinan’s heart, her mood instantly plummeted, and her face turned very pale.

Cheng Yi, as if not noticing the change in Xinan’s complexion, continued on his own, “But I have waited too long for this moment, I don’t like you anymore…”

God knows how hard it was for Cheng Yi to say these words; saying this felt like scraping flesh from his own body, unbearably painful, but he had to act as if nothing was wrong.

How could he complain that the waiting time was long? How could he… not like Xinan anymore? She was his beloved!

“It’s impossible; you must be lying, you must be lying, right?” Xinan retorted through her tears.

Cheng Yi looked at Xinan indifferently; his heart had numbed, “Nannan, you need to learn to accept reality.”

“You must be deceiving me! If you didn’t like me, why would you give me this ring, and why would you still buy me such an expensive necklace just a few days ago?” Xinan turned her hand over and stretched it to Cheng Yi’s face, then pointed to the dazzling necklace on her neck.

“That diamond ring was bought a few days after we got married when I indeed liked you very much, but I don’t know from what point on, my feelings for you diminished until eventually, I lost all interest,” Cheng Yi’s gaze turned to the necklace on Xinan’s neck, and after a moment, he spoke, “As for this necklace, maybe I bought it feeling guilty towards you, after all, marrying a man who doesn’t love you is quite sad.”

Hearing Cheng Yi’s words, Xinan’s entire body trembled; she had never imagined Chengyi could be so cold.

But she still didn’t quite believe his excuses; Xinan wiped the tears from her face, looking straight into Cheng Yi’s eyes, “Since you no longer like me, then why do you continue to stay with me and not divorce me?”

Cheng Yi smiled lightly, “Having such a beautiful vase beside me… is quite nice.”

At this moment, Xinan could no longer hold back, and tears fell like beads off a broken string, plip-plopping onto the back of her hand.
