Lu Yin Ze always encountered this type of scheming woman in the past few years.
They pretended to meet him by chance, then in one way or another they would 'accidentally' touch him with an innocent face or find a way to get her and him alone with any chance they got.
This was why he found every one of them sickening.
It was tiring to always meet these sly women who acted innocent in the surface but was actually filled with hidden motives. He preferred to deal with an honest and straightforward person, who also have a kind and strong heart.
….Just like Xiong Zhi.
Lu Yin Ze decided to say sterner and crueler words to stop this woman from dreaming of tying him down to her. He would never let it happen.
"I just want to warn you, Second Miss Tang. My heart already belongs to someone else and it will never belong to you. So please, drop the act and stop chasing after me. You will not get anything at all. It's best to save yourself from pointless work."
Tang Yin: [email protected]#$%%$#!
What the hell made you think I am over heels in love with you?!
Gosh!
Tang Yin stood in place, her face turning red in suppressed anger.
She was trying her hardest to not let her innocent and lady-like pretense break.
Even though she was infuriated inside, her face only showed how shocked she was except for the red cast on her face due to anger.
In Lu Yin Ze's eyes though, it was a manifestation of her embarrassment after being seen through.
Tang Yin closed her eyes and chanted inside.
She was a civilized person unlike her sister who let the fist do the talking.
"….I never knew Second Young Master Lu harbored thoughts like these. I am also a person who is in love with someone else, so rest assured, I will not covet Second Young Master Lu's heart."
Her expression appeared serious and solemn.
Inwardly: Your heart, fart! It can go down the toilet for all I care!
Lu Yin Ze raised a brow. He still did not believe it.
Tang Yin raised a hand as if swearing an oath.
"I swear over my sister's life."
It was her stupid elder sister who started it all, so why was it her who was suffering this now?
'….'
Lu Yin Ze finally frowned.
Was it really true?
This person really did not harbor feelings for him and he just misunderstood it all?
Lu Yin Ze started to doubt his own conjectures, but he still asked Tang Yin.
"Then who is this man you are saying you're in love with?"
'Let's see if you can make up a name on the spot.'
Tang Yin was stunned and silent. Her eyes dulled for a moment before they returned to normal.
"Why would Second Young Master Lu want to know? That is a private matter and I am not obliged to answer that."
'I knew it.'
"Heh."
Lu Yin Ze smiled gently, but sarcasm was evident.
"How am I supposed to believe you then?"
Still pretending of not doing all those ploys before, really, did she think he was a child who was easily fooled?
Tang Yin could feel her patience thinning.
Why the hell was this man so adamant in having her prove herself?
"Even if the end of the world comes and we are the only humans left on the earth, I will never jump on you, even if it means the extinction of humankind," she spoke suddenly in a hard tone.
Her soft brown eyes were serious. Her true self leaked out at this moment.
Lu Yin Ze: …...
Tang Yin recovered herself and innocently smiled.
"If that is what Second Young Master Lu wants to hear from me, then I have no choice but to say it."
Lu Yin Ze's eyes were dull.
He… finally was willing to believe it.
He at least can still sense truthfulness to some extent, honed by his constant training in the past few years.
Just moments ago, he felt as if the woman dropped her mask and bared her true face. He suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
If so, then all his actions from before were really embarrassing. He unnaturally coughed.
"Oh. I, fine, I will believe you for now."
He did not know what else to say, so he just said that. Because the actions the sisters had done in the past were really misleading.
"Hopefully, you and Tang Xinyang won't pull tricks on me anymore."
"I think you should already know by now her personality. My sister is my sister. Even I cannot stop her."
That person was totally a walking Armageddon.
Lu Yin Ze could not stop Tang Xinyang as well. That woman was insanely strong.
He sighed. It seemed that this person might have really been implicated by the troublemaker Tang Xinyang.
"Then please, do your best to stop her, considering that she is your sister. Don't cause others trouble because of your two people's whims!"
Lu Yin Ze then turned around.
Although the misunderstanding was cleared, he still did not want to see both sisters.
He went to the only table set inside the patio.
Tang Xinyang made a face at his back, before turning back to the image of a sensible girl.
She returned her attention to finding ways to get out of here. She stuck her face on the glass door, trying to see the other side if there were people passing by to ask for help.
Lu Yin Ze sat on one of the chairs. He saw that there was a silk cloth covering a small hill on the table.
Without much thinking and out of boredom, he lifted it up.
What he first saw were not the music sheets, but the dazzling blue rose pen that was exactly like his supposed gift to Xiong Zhi but was thrown instead almost a year ago.
He was stunned.
It looked exactly the same...
His gift to Xiong Zhi were all customized. If this was the gift he had designed, then...
Lu Yin Ze turned the pen over and looked at the cap. He found what he was looking for.
'Zhi.'
This really was the gift he had thrown that day.
After the kiss... he and Xiong Zhi became estranged.
Lu Yin Ze's heart clenched in pain at the memory. Then he became angry. He picked up the blue rose pen and walked towards Tang Yin with a dark face.
"This!"
Tang Yin heard his gloomy voice, looked up, and saw the dark face.
What now?
She then saw the blue rose pen in his hand. Those long fingers were tightly holding the pen.
Tang Yin got worried that her favorite pen would break. She glanced at it concernedly.
"What's the matter?"
"Where did you get this pen? No—you aren't saying the truth and is lying to me!"
"What? I don't understand you."
"This pen—" Lu Yin Ze held up the pen. "I clearly remember this pen. It was personally crafted with my symbol and with that person's preference. It also has that person's name here. So there's no need to deny it. I threw it a year ago."
Lu Yin Ze's eyes blazed. "So you've been scheming to get me since a year ago. I can't believe how far you could go on!"
Tang Yin: "..."
