Chapter 789: Unwilling to Forgive (1/2)

Yue Zhengyu made his way over to the seat before sitting down beside her.

”Xiaoyan.”

Xu Xiaoyan pretended not to have heard him.

”I'm sorry. If you're still angry about what happened during the Sea God Fate Match-making Convention, then I'll apologize to you again. I was too rash and arrogant at the time, and for that, I am sorry. During these past six months, I thought about many things, and I realized just how important you are to me. I'm willing to lay down my pride, so can we...”

All of a sudden, Xu Xiaoyan turned around with a cold look in her eyes, and interjected, ”Are you taking pity on me? I don't need your pity, nor any pity from your high and mighty Holy Angel clan. Yue Zhengyu, I saw what kind of person you are on that day. I always thought that I'd be really happy with you, but only on that day did I realize that in your eyes, I'm nothing. I'm just a woman that you can summon and send away as you please, just like a servant. You're very exceptional; you come from a wealthy family, and you're very powerful, but I don't care about all that a single bit! Why are you apologizing to me? If you'd truly realized that you'd done something wrong, then you wouldn't have come to find me only after half a year had already passed. You can't set aside your pride; that's simply impossible for you. In your heart, you're always superior to everyone else. I won't ever consider entering a relationship with a man who's never seen me as an equal, so it's over between us.”

Xu Xiaoyan's voice was clearly quite emotional, and even the passengers around them couldn't help but turn around to appraise the situation that was unfolding.

Yue Zhengyu was starting to get angry now. ”What do you want me to do? I've already apologized to you, and who says I've never seen you as an equal? I love you with all my heart, and...”

Xu Xiaoyan raised a hand in a cold manner to cut him off. ”I told you that it's over between us. Please get away from me; you're making me uncomfortable by sitting here.”

Yue Zhengyu's chest was rising and falling violently as a furious look appeared on his face. He didn't think that Xu Xiaoyan would reject him in such a cold manner. It had been very difficult for him to muster up the resolve to apologize, but Xu Xiaoyan had stomped all over his apology.

”Xu Xiaoyan, I know that you're only rejecting me because of self-pity. You just feel inferior, right? Why can't you directly address the problems between us? Yes, I didn't come to find you during the past six months, but that was because I've been trying to sort out my own emotions this entire time. You're right, I really value my pride. After you rejected me in front of all of those people on that day, I was extremely angry and hurt, but after all this time, I've thought through everything, and I've realized that love is more important than my pride. I've already apologized to you, so what else do you want from me?”

Xu Xiaoyan harrumphed coldly, ”I don't need your charity! Also, I'm not feeling inferior in any way. Don't forget that I'm one of Shrek’s Seven Monsters, so what do I have to feel self-pity about? Go away!”

Yue Zhengyu abruptly rose to his feet. ”You better not regret this!”

Xu Xiaoyan turned away in a stubborn manner and refused to look at him.

Yue Zhengyu strode back to his own seat in an enraged manner, where both Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui were listening to their conversation with furrowed brows.

”Can't you be more gentle and calm?” Xie Xie asked in a resigned manner, ”You need to be delicate with girls.”

Yue Zhengyu roared, ”What do you care?”

”You're right, no one cares about you!” Yuanen Yehui stood up and dragged Xie Xie back to their original seat before consoling Xu Xiaoyan, who had tears swimming in her eyes.

Yue Zhengyu sat back down beside Tang Wulin, and he was practically fuming with rage. He felt as if there were a massive rock weighing down on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Xie Xie wasn't enraged by Yue Zhengyu's volatile reaction to his concern. Instead, he was feeling rather sympathetic toward Yue Zhengyu.
