Chapter 71: His Command Like a Whiplash

Lian Xinying's body froze in an instant.

Yan Ye said he liked her... Aaah!

Did this count as a confession? She should reject, reject... reject him, right?

Lian Xinying, filled with an intensely excited yet awkwardly conflicted feeling, thought about how to reject him when Yan Ye's voice came through cold as ice, "After all, that little brat is really annoying. Even daring to fantasize about marrying me, laughable!"

The footsteps grew fainter, Yan Ye had left!

Lian Xinying slapped her own face, telling herself, "Wake up!"

He merely found her somewhat acceptable when comparing her with Lucy.

At least she didn't delude herself into thinking about marrying him!

At that thought, a faint bitterness drifted through her heart.

Lian Xinying returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and continued peeling grapes to eat.

In her mind, she imagined all kinds of melodramatic situations that could occur that evening.
