The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 90
Chapter 90: Spoken To Each Other (2)
Shi Yao wasn’t sure whether it was her imagination or not, but it felt like the more she tried to clarify things, the thinner the air in the car became.
It was not like she had said anything wrong, so why was the atmosphere becoming like that?
Shi Yao was silent for two seconds before sneaking a peek at Lin Jiage beside her.
That young man’s usually nonchalant face had a thin layer of frost over it. His eyes, his brows, and even his slightly pursed lips were exuding an indescribable, chilling aura.
How bizarre. He’s the one who said those words back then, so why is he getting displeased now?
Could it be that… he’s angry because I said too much to him?
Shi Yao’s eyes darted around the car as she mused over this thought, and she felt that this notion was the likeliest to be the case.
In the set of rules he had constructed for them, he was to be a stranger to her. Since that was the case, it went without saying that he was unwilling to have unnecessary interactions with her. She really had to be silly to speak so much to him earlier!
Realizing her mistake, Shi Yao quickly shut her mouth and solemnly warned herself against speaking to Lin Jiage.
Silence returned to the car once more.
The car steadily made its way towards the Lin Family Residence, but the frost on Lin Jiage’s face still showed no signs of melting.
In truth, he was initially a little confused when Shi Yao said “I still remember the words you said back then”.
He wasn’t too sure which words she was referring to. What she said shortly after, however, brought some vague memories back to his mind. Something of that sort seemed to have happened in the past.
How should he put the situation back then? He was a little indignant and a little angry, but there was no outlet for him to vent his frustrations. As a result, he ended up dumping all of those negative emotions on her.
He’d blamed her. If not for her existence, he wouldn’t have found himself stuck with a fiancée all of a sudden.
There was no one who liked being forced into something. His grandfather’s forceful coercion only served to heighten his revulsion toward the engagement. Under those circumstances, the words he’d spoken were of course as hurtful as they could get!
There was nothing wrong with what she’d said—they were all true. But he just couldn’t figure out what he was feeling so frustrated over. Was it because she clearly remembered everything he’d said back then, or was it because he had allowed his emotions to get the better of him, or was it because she’d used “never spoken to each other” to define their relationship?
Regardless of the case, the more Lin Jiage thought of the matter, the more irritated he felt. And the more irritated he felt, the heavier the atmosphere in the car became. Eventually, it came to a point where even he couldn’t take it anymore, so he lowered the car window to allow a gust of spring air in.
Just as the car was approaching the Lin Family Residence, Shi Yao’s phone rang, and she picked it up.
As Lin Jiage was just by her side, she spoke with a softer voice, “Hello, Senior Han? No, I haven’t reached school yet. I suddenly have something up, so I’ll be returning to school a little late…”
Lin Jiage’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he listened to Shi Yao’s words. A moment later, he took out his phone, which only had 5% battery left, and began drafting out a message.
…
Five minutes before the car arrived at the Lin Family Residence, all of the housekeepers had already been evacuated from the premises.
…
Perhaps it was because Lin Jiage wasn’t in a good mood, but when the car stopped, his voice sounded a little cold when he spoke to the driver, “Don’t you have something to do after this? You should hurry along. I’ll just call a taxi later.”
The driver was startled for two whole seconds before he quickly responded, “Right, I have to pick up someone important later. It’s an order from Madam, and it’s going to be the rush hour soon. I won’t be able to make it in time if I don’t leave now…”
