202 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (13)

The air pressure in the car was uncomfortably low.

Xue Xue glanced at Chi Yu, who was driving with a tense face and expressionless expression, and quietly pulled down the window a crack.

In late summer and early autumn, the climate is dry and pleasant. The cool breeze blows away the sultry heat and also makes Xue Xue’s mind clearer.

Taking advantage of the red light, Xue Xue leaned her head on the man’s shoulder.

“Angry?”

As if he didn’t expect Xue Xue to ask so directly, Chi Yu’s body stiffened for a moment, and he denied it duplicitously after a long while.”No.”

Xue Xue smiled because his words were insincere.

“Really?” Xue Xue asked again, raising his hand and stroking the veins on Chi Yu’s arm that were faintly raised due to exertion.”I’m still going to explain it to you.”

“Explain what?” Chi Yu’s tone was hard.”You can explain it now.”

The man paused for a moment when he said this, and then the green light came on, and he stepped on the accelerator and said no more.

But Xue Xue knew that his eyes had been glancing towards him.

Seeing that the man’s face was getting darker and darker as he remained silent, Xue Xue also knew how to give up when things were good and stopped teasing him.

“Actually, there’s nothing to explain.” Xue Xue said casually as he put down the mirror and carefully arranged his appearance.”I originally thought that Director Luo was looking for me to discuss business matters. In fact, this was the message I received, but I didn’t expect…”

“She also found a man.”

Although Chi Yu’s tone was straightforward, Xue Xue could hear a hint of gnashing of teeth.

She smiled.

“Well, it’s what you think.”

As the topic progressed, there was another moment of silence.

“Did you exchange phone numbers?”

“Yeah, but I just deleted it before getting in the car.”

As soon as he said these words, Chi Yu immediately turned his head and stared at Xue Xue, as if he wanted to judge whether her words were true or false. Xue Xue had already anticipated his actions, and calmly met Chi Yu’s eyes. His eyes were bright and moving, and he smiled beautifully.

Chi Yu looked away in embarrassment, but the slightly red behind his ears betrayed his uneasy mood.

Xue Xue finally felt relieved temporarily when he saw Chi Yu’s reaction.

Although the state is still unstable, at least for now it seems that the man’s emotions are still within the controllable range, which also prevents her from being pulled by her body’s instinct and always on guard.

The taste is really unpleasant.

After two sentences, there was no sound in the carriage again.

Chi Yu reached out and turned on the radio.

Now is the time to play music. The gentle female voice sings popular love songs briskly with a unique articulation method, which makes the audience feel better.

Xue Xue hummed for a while and then asked Chi Yu.”Aren’t you angry anymore?”

Hearing this, Chi Yu accidentally put his foot on the brake too hard. When he stepped on the brake, the whole car made a sharp and ear-piercing noise and suddenly stopped.

Xue Xue was startled.

“The light is red.” Chi Yu said calmly after giving an explanation.”I’m not angry.”

She spoke calmly, and there was no flaw on her face. However, Xue Xue knew that Chi Yu definitely didn’t care as much as he showed, otherwise he wouldn’t have exuded that compelling aura when he saw her walking out with Lin Ziqian.

People are overwhelmed by the pressure of thousands of mountains and can’t breathe.

After feeling the fear deep in his body at that moment, Xue Xue probably knew why Xue Li chose to let her complete the task instead of trying it again himself.

She may love Chi Yu and feel guilty for Chi Yu because of this love, so she chooses to forgive in the end and hopes to help Chi Yu get out of the tragedy of his fate, but she is not willing to accompany Chi Yu on this journey anymore.

Because Xue Li, who has experienced it before, knows that if one mistake is made, everything will be ruined.

She didn’t want to suffer the physical and mental pain together anymore.

“I’m really not angry.”

Perhaps misunderstanding Xue Xue’s silence, Chi Yu emphasized again.

Xue Xue still didn’t speak. It wasn’t until the car drove into the underground parking lot that she reorganized her thoughts before speaking slowly.”A Yu, do you think that if I hide it once, I will hide it from you countless times again?”

Chi Yu didn’t expect that Xue Xue would say that, let alone that Xue Xue would call him “Ayu”.

This is not a very common title. From the beginning of the relationship until now, only Chi Yu occasionally became interested and patiently coaxed Xue Li to relent.

He once wondered why the two couldn’t call each other by their nicknames like ordinary lovers, but later he realized that it was Xue Li who never opened her heart to him.

Because there is someone in my heart, I have reservations.

It’s funny that he figured it out so late.

“I know it was wrong of me to hide it from you.” After unbuckling his seat belt, Xue Xue did not get out of the car, but straightened his back.”But my original intention is just to hope that the two of us can be in a more equal position, when we don’t know each other well enough.”

Hearing what she said, Chi Yu frowned.”You don’t trust me.”

“Yes, I don’t trust you.” Xue Xue admitted frankly.”I know this may sound like an excuse to you, but Ayu, do you know how I grew up? Do you know how I took over Yao from my grandfather and developed it to the scale it is now? This is not a legendary story full of heroic colors, but a… extremely realistic family ethics drama.”

Xue Xue’s tone became sharp as he spoke.

It was rare for her to reveal her emotions like this, but Chi Yu was not completely unaware of the Xue family’s troubles, so he could also understand Xue Xue’s feelings.

While he was thinking about how to comfort the other party, Xue Xue continued to speak, but instead of stating the facts, he asked Chi Yu in return.”So do you think it’s possible for me to be completely honest with someone I don’t know very well?”

Chi Yu was stunned.
