Chapter 68: Chapter 68 She Called Me A Mistress In Front Of Everyone

"You don’t like that area because it’s too far and too winding, do you?"

Hiss!

Lu Jing let out a deep breath:

"Why do you think I dislike that area, do you not know?"

It was just short of outright stating the word ’avoidance’.

Someone hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying:

"I know, you dislike me."

Pfft!

At least he’s somewhat self-aware.

Lu Jing also choked up, slightly uncomfortable:

"Jiang Ye, we’ve moved on, haven’t we?"

Lu Jing felt that things were fine as they were now, really no need to push things further.

If they couldn’t be lovers, then being friends was good enough, no need to make things ugly.

After all, there was a hurdle in their hearts that both could not cross.

Unless, someday, that hurdle could completely dissipate.

"Moved on from what?" The man’s voice grew deeper.

"Jiang Ye, you know."

"I don’t know."

"You...."

"Lu’er, you have me in your heart!"

Very certain.

Having once been in love, how could they not understand each other?

Lu Jing was stunned, feeling suddenly exposed:

"You’re talking nonsense!" he said, his voice constricted.

"Talk nonsense or not, touch your own heart."

Hiss~

Without waiting for the woman to respond, over the phone the man continued:

"So, can you still so confidently say there’s nothing?"

There was an almost aggressive feeling.

Lu Jing’s eyes gradually widened, one hand unconsciously covered his chest, his mouth slightly agape:

"I...."

He just couldn’t utter the word ’no’.

"Baby, is it so hard to admit it?

I’ve said it before, you were the one who went abroad directly.

These six years, I’ve been waiting for you to come back!

So, baby, you can’t escape!"

The moment you decided to come back to the country, you were destined not to escape in this lifetime.

Lu Jing’s body trembled:

"Jiang Ye, on what grounds?"

Questioning.

Over the phone, the man murmured:

"On what grounds?

It’s probably because—I love you!"

The word ’love’ was truly the first time it had come from Jiang Ye’s mouth.

Lu Jing’s mouth, already agape, seemed to widen even further.

Such a straightforward approach, who could really withstand it?

"You...."

"So, Lu’er, don’t even think about escaping, else who knows what the consequences might be?"

It was probably easier since he’d said it once before, so it was easier to say a second time.

But that utterly menacing tone really angered Lu Jing:

"But I don’t love you anymore!

I haven’t loved you for a long time!

I hate you!"

He yelled relentlessly.

Yet unbeknownst to him, whether it be love or hate, both sufficiently show that he cares.

The other party, however, remained calm:

"No problem, I love you and that’s enough."

Lu Jing was again at a loss for words:

"Jiang Ye, you..."

How could someone be like this?

"Lu’er, you can take your time to think. I’ve waited six years, I don’t mind waiting another six."

Anyway, he was set on her for this lifetime.

No one could escape.

Jiang Ye’s words made Lu Jing’s heart start pounding:

"Why can’t you just let me go?" His eyes reddened.

So infuriating!

"Let you go, who will let me go?"

"But don’t you have Gu Xiyue?"

Hmm?

Suddenly bringing up Gu Xiyue, both paused.

Then, Lu Jing continued:

"Jiang Ye, do you know how Gu Xiyue pointed at me six years ago and called me a ’mistress’?

A mistress!

I never dreamed that this word would fall on me.

Jiang Ye, do you know how everyone looked at me, how they talked about me?

They all said I was shameless, seducing men, a bad woman.

Every look seemed to want to slash me a thousand times!"
