Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 231
Chapter 231: I Do Not Want To Be The Scapegoat
“You’d never have the chance to climb off the bed.”
The stirred emotions she felt from hearing that moving love declaration vanished for the most part when she heard the punishment he had in store for her. Can you not be such a killjoy?
“So will you entrust your life to me?” he gently cooed into her ear.
Her lips twitched. “Yes, I will.”
Her answer had the man’s face breaking into a wide grin as he smiled giddily like a child.
Not far away from them was Bo Jinyan, who had witnessed their intimate interaction with a grim smile. They’re buying wedding bands, huh? Are they really intending to get married?
His gaze dimmed when it involuntarily landed on the woman’s stomach. Is she really pregnant?
Moments later, the couple turned around and left the shop after collecting their rings.
The doll’s going to be taken away by someone else if I don’t make a move…
His lips curled into a slight smile while he arched a brow at that thought. However, just as he turned around to leave, a familiar-looking lady brushed past him.
With a squint, he grabbed hold of the lady’s wrist.
“What are you doing?” yelled the woman hotly. However, she soon fell into a daze at the sight of Bo Jinyan’s alluring appearance.
“What do you want, handsome?”
His brows formed a tight line as he stared at this face, which looked exactly like Ye Erruo’s face. He was very certain, though, that this woman was not her!
“What’s your name?” His vicious eyes glowed icily.
Xiao Ruo sized him up. “My name is Xiao Ruo. Do you know me, handsome? Ha ha… Don’t you think I look like Ye Erruo? A lot of people have said that I’m her carbon copy. It’s such a pity that I’m not her, though… Hey, you’re hurting me. You…” The way he stared at her scared her.
“H-Hey, can you release me first?” she carefully asked.
Bo Jinyan flung her hand away hard as he studied the woman with an eerie, incomprehensible gaze that had her cowering away from him.
The recently popular Little Ah Mei didn’t offend anyone, did she? Even though people usually cast surprised looks at her, she had never encountered anything like this. Besides, she rarely stepped out of her house in the first place.
She eventually got so freaked out that she hastily broke into a run and fled from the man lest he did something to her. She was terrified of him, especially since he appeared all gloomy and fierce at that moment.
Her unsettled heart only managed to find peace when she realized that she had shaken off that man. She then pulled a mask out of her bag. However, as soon as she put it on, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head. It was followed by vision loss before she eventually slumped weakly to the ground.
…
Xiao Ruo woke up with a dizzy head in a dimly-lit environment when she finally regained her consciousness.
Her mind instantly sobered up when her face was splashed with a basin of cold water.
Cough, cough…
The woman froze the instant she noticed the man standing before her. “Who are you? I don’t know you at all!”
Bo Jinyan, who was wearing a thin shirt, merely lifted his lips into a vague smile and said, “You know Ye Erruo.”
She completely lost her cool and panicked when she heard that. “W-Who doesn’t know Ye Erruo, the online singer who got really popular just some time ago? However, she has stopped all online broadcasts and gone off-screen to avoid the eyes of the masses. E-Either way, I’m not Ye Erruo.”
As the man slowly approached her, she retreated fearfully. “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Ye Erruo. You should look for her if you’ve got a feud with her.”
“Is this the product of cosmetic surgery?”
Xiao Ruo shot back through gritted teeth, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I was born this way. It was Ye Erruo who underwent cosmetic surgery based on my looks. Go look it up online yourself.”
This man obviously has a vendetta with Ye Erruo and mistook me for the singer and abducted me instead. Regardless, there’s no way I am going to be her scapegoat.
