C227 – Innocent
Ye Ling was taken aback.
The mood vanished instantly with that statement.
Is it actually possible to get a girlfriend?
Su Ming was momentarily surprised by Ye Ling’s reaction.
It was just a question, wasn’t it?
What’s the reason for her reddened face?
Could she be sick?
“Is something the matter?”
Su Ming inquired further.
“It’s nothing! Let’s just eat,” Ye Ling responded.
Aggressively, she plunged her chopsticks into the bowl, securing several strands of noodles.
Her gaze fixed on Su Ming.
Then, she aggressively chewed on the noodles.
This caused Su Ming to involuntarily shudder from a chill.
Why did she seem so fierce in her actions?
Su Ming wasn’t entirely at fault here.
Despite his academic achievements from a young age, he struggled with feelings of inadequacy.
His experience in pursuing romantic interests was non-existent.
Even though Su Ming had achieved a stable life in the city, complete with a car and a home,
Gaining dating experience wasn’t something he could acquire through his agricultural pursuits.
Nonetheless, with his current status, Su Ming wasn’t worried about finding a partner.
“Have you been preoccupied lately?”
Ye Ling, struck by a sudden thought, questioned Su Ming.
Caught off guard, Su Ming asked, “About what?”
Ye Ling, noticing Su Ming’s wary expression, couldn’t help but chuckle.
“There’s no need to be wary.”
While Su Ming was focused on his meal, a faint cry caught his attention. Turning, he noticed Ye Ling with her face buried in her hands.
Her tremoring shoulders made it clear she was in tears.
Concerned, Su Ming inquired, “What’s making you cry?”
Through tears, Ye Ling accused, “Ignore me! I never imagined you’d be such a person. After everything, you still refuse to meet my parents.”
Su Ming was taken aback.
His actions had been innocent.
He was merely eating rice noodles when suddenly cast as the villain!
The street was bustling with people.
Ye Ling, with her striking beauty, drew much attention.
Ye Ling’s proclamation was loud and clear.
Such words incited immediate outrage among the bystanders.
“People questioned, “”Aren’t you a man? How can you mistreat a woman like that?””
Accusations flew, “”You’re despicable! Engaging with her yet refusing to acknowledge it!””
Some lamented, “”How could such a gorgeous woman choose you? Given the chance, I’d cherish her deeply.””
Bystanders consoled, “”Don’t waste tears on him. He’s not worth it.””
Nearby, some women comforted her while glaring at Su Ming.
Su Ming was dumbfounded.
He felt unjustly accused.
Despite his innocence, he was the subject of public scorn.
He found himself unable to mount a defense.
Desperate, Su Ming conceded, “I accept your demand. Please, stop crying!”
“Fine.”
Upon hearing his capitulation, Ye Ling stopped crying and smiled radiantly.
Su Ming immediately felt remorse.
Her ability to feign emotion was impressive.
As he recalled, she was rather reserved in high school.
Yet, she now displayed a surprising level of guile.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
