Chapter 414 - Merciless when it comes to Love (1/2)

”Don't freak out, man. I am a living person with a beating... broken heart,” the 'ghost' spoke in slight annoyance at first, then she choked slightly, and her tone became filled with grievances. ””...with a shattered world, and with no hope of loving again.”

”....”

Not a ghost.

Lu Yin Ze finally calmed down. He coughed. He felt foolish for freaking out. It was just a person, a slightly strange person who had a knack of hiding behind the bushes.

Tang Yin sighed gloomily. She just wanted to cry her eyes out and succ.u.mb to her loneliness for a longer time, but this silver-haired man ruined it all. Sigh. Maybe she could cry secretly somewhere again after this event.

She needed to let her heart vent out.

She stepped out from behind the bushes, but after two steps, she lost her will again. If she came back, she would see Linfeng and that woman together again, right?

After learning out that Xiong Zhi was Linfeng's girlfriend, she instantly crossed her out of her friend list. How could she become friends with a person who snatched the love of her life?

The pain inside her chest came back. She felt breathless again.

Damn it! That woman was beautiful, maybe slightly prettier than her, but that woman had a very cold face! That facial paralysis woman actually was Linfeng's girlfriend...

Her eyes blurred again.

”Who don't like a sweet woman?! I practiced so much to become a pretty, shy, and feminine woman. A woman that draws out a man's protective desire! Is that paralyzed face better than mine?! Well, alright, she maybe prettier, but just slightly, alright?! She lacks the charm of a woman!!!” Tang Yin lost her cool again.

She kept shouting until her throat hurt, kicking at the rockeries, and swinging her hands in the air.

Finally, after a long time of crying and yelling, she slowly quieted down, panting.

Silence.

'...'

Lu Yin Ze, who was standing quietly at one side, was dumbstruck. Well, good thing she was not a ghost, but she was scarier than one. The loud roars of a lioness seemed to still ring in the air. He patted his ears to check if they were still working.

This woman, why shout so loudly beside him? Was her goal to burst his eardrums?

He glanced at the young woman whose appearance had become very messy. Her face was full of dried tears, her hair very messy, her make-up was totally destroyed by tear marks, and her white dress was wrinkled and dirty.

However, being a gentleman that he was, he held out a handkerchief and asked politely.

”Excuse me, miss, are you alright?”

Tang Yin, whose self-control was gone at the moment, answered in a hard tone. ”I'm not.”

”...If you need help, I can escort you to the... private room?”

Damn. It sounded like a man hitting on a woman.

Tang Yin glanced at him sharply. She did not take the offered handkerchief.

Looking at him closely, he looked familiar. It was a face that could not be easily forgotten, so he probably had not yet greeted her face to face earlier.

Still, after a glance at that beautiful and jade-like face of a gentleman, she calmed down a bit. She actually acted so unladylike for a moment in front of a guest.

”Thanks for the offer. But I have legs.”

Tang Yin was still full of emotion and excused herself.

”It's alright...” Lu Yin Ze watched her retreating back. That woman was very unladylike, kind of uncultured. Which family did she come from, to actually fail to bring her up with proper manners or etiquette?

Because of the dim lighting, destroyed make-up, puffy eyes, shrewish behavior that was drastically different from the shy and coquettish maiden image from earlier, he failed to realize who the person was.

Anyway—

He looked at the blue rose bush she was hiding in earlier. Thankfully, the flowers were safe.

'She chose a good hiding spot.'
