Chapter 27: Ugly People Make Misfortune

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Rou’er’s face was full of anticipation, but she was certain that Ye Xingchen would not reject her. After all, who hadn’t seen Ye Xingchen’s bootlicker appearance when he was chasing her?

She had even begun to plan what would happen after she moved into Ye Xingchen’s house. She estimated that she would still give Ye Xingchen some benefits when the time came, but not too much…

While Chen Rou’er was still imagining the future, Ye Xingchen felt nauseous looking at her coquettish face on the other end of the screen.

He began to suspect that Chen Rou’er had put a spell on him previously. Otherwise, why would he be so obsessed with her and pursue her for so long?

Looking at the pretentious Chen Rou’er in the camera, Ye Xingchen even had goosebumps.

A mocking smile appeared on his face as he leaned back on the sofa, one hand supporting his chin and the other holding his phone. “Look at how much you’re wrapped up. It should be quite cold outside, right?”

“It’s so cold, so don’t run around. Otherwise, it’ll be dangerous for a girl like you to be outside.”

Ye Xingchen’s rejection was tactful, but Chen Rou’er continued to press on as if she didn’t understand.

“Ah, it’s okay. It’s not very dangerous. It’s just that I’m so scared at home in the dark. Can you come and take me to your house?”

“Ah, I mean, it’s too cold outside. I didn’t want to go out to pick you up. Was I being too tactful just now that you didn’t understand?”

Chen Rou’er was stunned. Even Chu Yao, who was next to her, was stunned. They had never thought that Ye Xingchen would actually refuse.

Chen Rou’er’s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Ye Xingchen was such an obedient bootlicker before, how could he reject her so straightforwardly now?!

An uncomfortable feeling filled her entire heart. It was not because she was embarrassed by Ye Xingchen’s rejection, but she could not accept that Ye Xingchen’s current place was so comfortable, but she could only endure the cold and hunger at home!

Chen Rou’er’s expression stiffened for a moment before she forced out a smile again.

“Brother Xingchen, stop joking. Rou’er almost took it seriously. She’s so sad!”

“Rou’er knows that Brother Xingchen treats Rou’er the best. It was Rou’er who was insensible before. Why is Brother Xingchen still angry at Rou’er? When Rou’er comes over, Brother Xingchen can do whatever he wants, okay? As long as it can make Brother calm down, Rou’er can do anything!”

Normally speaking, no man would be able to reject Chen Rou’er’s request.

Ye Xingchen was an exception.

After experiencing such a despairing death, Ye Xingchen only felt disgust and hatred towards Chen Rou’er.

“In the past, every time I asked you to come to my house, you used all kinds of excuses to reject me. You said that we were both single and that it would be bad if people saw us and spread the news.”

“I think you’re right. There’s nothing between us. I’m just your friend, right? I think I should keep a distance from you so that others won’t gossip about me.”

In the past, when Ye Xingchen wanted to ask Chen Rou’er out for a meal or a movie, he would have to send a large pile of gifts before Chen Rou’ er would be willing to give him the time of day. The makeup and skincare products that Chen Rou’er used, and even the branded bags that she had in her room, were all given by Ye Xingchen.

Chen Rou’er’s fair, rich, and beautiful persona was mostly due to Ye Xingchen.

However, when Ye Xingchen wanted to invite her over to his house, Chen Rou’er would always find all sorts of excuses to refuse.

Ye Xingchen’s words were just the same words that Chen Rou’er had said to him back then.

When Chen Rou’er heard this, her expression instantly changed. She could not even pretend to be pitiful anymore.

These were her own words, but she did not expect Ye Xingchen to still remember them.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the living environment was too harsh and that she was too eager to live in Ye Xingchen’s house, Chen Rou’er would have directly fallen out with Ye Xingchen.

Chu Yao gave Chen Rou’er a look, typed a few words on her phone, and handed it to Chen Rou’er.

“Playing hard to get.”

Chen Rou’er immediately understood and believed Chu Yao’s words. That’s right, Ye Xingchen was just a bootlicker that she looked down on previously. How could he really reject her now?

It must be like what Chu Yao said, playing hard to get.

“Ah, I said that before for Brother Xingchen’s own good. Brother Xingchen, you wouldn’t want your girlfriend to be gossiped about, right?”

“But now, it’s really dark outside. Rou’er is so scared. Brother Xingchen, come and pick me up. I’ll apologize to you personally, okay?”

As she spoke, Chen Rou’er bit her lips, her face turning red in the cold.

“Rou’er is here to massage your legs and shoulders and cook for you, okay?”

Ye Xingchen watched and could not help but sigh in his heart.

With her acting skills, if she were to act, she would probably win the title of Best Actress in no time!

However, Ye Xingchen didn’t fall for it.

“How can that do? We’re not a couple. This, this is against the rules!”

“Besides, I don’t need to massage my legs and shoulders for the time being!” Ye Xingchen said with a straight face.

Chen Rou’er was about to explode from anger at Ye Xingchen’s words.

What did he mean? Did he understand or not?!

Moreover, she, the school belle, had taken the initiative to come to his door, but in the end, it was Ye Xingchen’s turn to pretend to be reserved?!

Did he need a girl like her to take the initiative to say that as long as she moved into his house, he could do whatever he wanted to her?!

But he, Ye Xingchen, was just a bootlicker! How dare he put on such airs in front of her?!

“You! Aiya! Why are you so stupid! Didn’t I already say that I’ll give you a chance? Think about it. If we lived together and you were sincere enough to move me, wouldn’t I be your girlfriend?”

“Look, it’s dark here now. I’m so scared. Why didn’t you grab such a good opportunity?”

“You’re really stupid! Can’t you even react in time?! You still need me to remind you!”

“The closest pavilion gets the moon first. Don’t you want me? Since you have me, you can do whatever you want!”

Ye Xingchen laughed coldly as he looked at Chen Rou’er.

“Chen Rou’er, did you misunderstand something?”

“Don’t tell me you think that I still like you?”

Ye Xingchen’s words hit Chen Rou’er’s heart, causing her expression to change drastically.

“Guess how I knew that you were hanging on to me while being with other men?”

“Ha, yes, it’s true that I liked you very much back then, but what makes you think that I’ll still be infatuated with you after knowing all those things about you?”
