Bab 35: Chapter 35 Was He Gentle?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yun Yiyi hurriedly covered her arms and said with a smile, "Ah… I fell and bruised myself."
Zhang Xue'er, who had already walked to Yun Yiyi, reached out and held Yun Yiyi's hand as she studied Yun Yiyi's body. She cocked an eyebrow and said, "No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like bruises from a fall…" After she finished speaking, realization dawned on her when she saw the obvious blush on Yun Yiyi's face. She said knowingly, "It seems like you didn't tell me everything…"
Yun Yiyi pretended to be calm and took a step back to distance herself from Xue'er, "What are you talking about? I really fell."
"If I didn't know better, the serious expression on your face could've fooled me." Zhang Xue'er looked at Yun Yiyi and chuckled. After a while, she said, "I'm not as innocent as you. I know more about the matters between a man and a woman compared to you."
It was true. While they were in school, Yun Yiyi was only devoted to studying while Zhang Xue'er had a boyfriend, at the very least.
Zhang Xue'er said confidently, "Based on your reaction, I know it's Fei Mo. Moreover, it's the first time I've seen you blush because of a man." She patted Yun Yiyi's shoulder as she asked in a roguish tone, "Did you give your most precious thing to Fei Mo? Was he gentle?"
Yun Yiyi felt her face burning. She was thoroughly embarrassed by Zhang Xue'er's forward question.
"Hey, since you're keeping quiet, I'll take it as you agree with my words. I know beyond a doubt that's your first time. A woman's first time is very precious. Since you've given it to Fei Mo, he must be responsible for you. Don't think about the contract anymore. Speak to him. It's only right that he takes responsibility for what had happened."
"..." Yun Yiyi blushed and silently looked at Zhang Xue'er. She knew Fei Mo had burned the contract because he wanted to take responsibility. However, she still felt as though she would be threatening him if she were to demand he take responsibility. Would that not make him hate her?
At this moment, Yun Yiyi's phone began to ring. She sighed in relief. This gave her relief from embarrassment. She hurriedly made her way to the living room to get her phone. However, she froze when she saw Fei Mo's name flashing on the screen of her phone.
At the same time, Zhang Xue'er continued to say, "Yiyi, once you capture his heart, he'll be able to help you. At that time, you no longer have to sell your car or worry about buying a house so your brother can get married. You don't even have to worry about Gu Jingyan anymore..."
"Shhh..." Yun Yiyi blushed and quickly hushed Zhang Xue'er before she walked to the window to answer the call. "Hello…"
…
When Yun Yiyi's crisp and melodious voice rang from the other end of the line, Fei Mo felt his heart skip a beat. His body that was clad in a dark suit looked tall and slender as he stood inconspicuously at a dark corner.
His eyes shone with tenderness as he looked at Yun Yiyi who was standing by the window on the third floor. Her hair hung over her shoulder as she held her phone to her ear. He thought he could even make out a trace of confusion and surprise on her face, as though she did not expect him to call her so late in the night. He could see her graceful figure dressed in pink satin pajamas. She seemed vulnerable at this moment, unlike her usual strong self.
Fei Mo could not tear his eyes away from her at all. His heart thumped wildly in his chest as he stared at her in a trance.
…
"Fei... Uh, are you there?" Yun Yiyi asked in confusion when she only heard silence.
"I'm here." Fei Mo's magnetic voice rang from the other end of the line.
When Zhang Xue'er, who was sitting quietly on the couch and eating a piece of fruit, heard the word 'Fei', a crafty expression appeared on her face immediately. She deliberately said in a raised voice, "Yiyi, didn't you just say you miss your husband, Fei Mo? What a coincidence that he called at this time. Both of you must have a telepathic connection."
Yun Yiyi hurriedly said, "Xue'er, what are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense!"
Zhang Xue'er looked at the nervous Yun Yiyi and innocently asked, "What nonsense? It's the truth. Don't you like your husband?"
At this moment, Yun Yiyi wondered if she had mistaken her enemy for her best friend! She hurriedly said to Fei Mo, "Listen to my explanation. S-she's just joking..."
Fei Mo, naturally, overheard the girls' conversation. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as though he had heard something extremely pleasing to his ears. He could see Yun Yiyi pacing back and forth nervously near the window as she tried to explain herself.
Yun Yiyi began to feel uneasy when Fei Mo did not reply even after a long time had passed. Could it be that he misunderstood her and thought she was shamelessly trying to attract his attention? She turned around and glared at the culprit who was gloating. Then, she took a deep breath and calmly said, "President Fei, my friend is drunk and doesn't know what she's talking about. I do have someone I like, but it isn't you..."
Only God knew how difficult it was for her to say these words. She could not lie to herself. She had to admit that she liked Fei Mo a little. Who knew she would like him so quickly when they had only met a few days ago? She had no choice but to say these words since she did not want him to think she was a woman with an ulterior motive.
If there were no agreement between them, and if it were under normal circumstances, she would have chased Fei Mo even without Xue'er prompting her. She was the kind of person who would boldly love and hate.
Fei Mo's heart that was suffused with warmth turned icy-cold when he heard Yun Yiyi's distant words. She had spoken so decisively and coldly that he could tell she was serious even though her back was facing him at this moment.
A bone-chilling aura immediately spiked from his body. She had someone she liked, and it was not him.
"President Fei?" Yun Yiyi called out when there was no reply from him.
The words 'President Fei' seemed to widen the space between them even more. He had told her repeatedly not to address him as President Fei because he wanted to narrow the distance between them.
"Come downstairs. We're returning to the villa." Fei Mo's voice was no longer gentle. After he finished speaking, he ended the call without waiting for her reply. At this moment, the night wind was not even as cold as the air he emitted. His straight back looked lonely and lost.
Yun Yiyi was, naturally, unaware that Fei Mo was standing at the side of the road near Zhang Xue'er's apartment. She was stunned when she heard Fei Mo asking her to go downstairs.
The beeping from the phone still rang in her ear.
Based on his voice, she knew he was displeased again. She sighed. Xue'er's words must have made him misunderstood her.
