462 Play So Well (2/2)

Her head was flicked again before she could finish her sentence. ”Don't even try to play this game with me.”

While she was skipping her way down the stairs, she passed by Xin Xiaoli who was going up. However, she didn't stop but he did.

”Ying...”

Hearing her name, she finally stopped and turned to look up at him with furrowed brows.

”When did you come?” he asked softly.

Ying thought about her answer before saying, ”Does it matter?” Before he could say anything, she added, ”Now, before you remind me how you asked me to stay away from here. Let me enlighten you... I'm Yan Ying. This is my godmother and godfather's house, not yours! I can come here whenever I want to. Even you can't stop me.”

”I wasn't gonna stop you-”

Ying didn't let him complete his sentence as she again started, ”Why? Aren't you worried now that Meihui will misunderstand my presence here? Or now you don't care because she is soon gonna be your wife? Or maybe now you want me to permanently cut off from this place. Let me tell you, that's not happening. Ever! If your soon to be wife doesn't wanna see me here, she can close her eyes when I'm around.”

Xin Xiaoli squinted his eyes at her. When did she get so difficult to talk to? She wasn't even letting him say anything.

”I know I can't stop you from coming here. I'm not trying that either,” said Xiaoli. ”I just wanted to ask how are you?” Ying looked at him with a raised brow. ”I wanted to tell you about my wedding with Meihui first but...”

”Why would you?” retorted Ying. ”When I first heard the news I was upset.” Xiaoli clenched his hands tightly as he felt guilty when he heard her words but later, she completely shocked him. ”But only because I thought as a best friend, I deserved to know about this first. Guess what, it took me just a while to realize that I had no right to be upset because we are not best friends anymore. We're not even friends anymore. So, why should I be upset about it?”

”I never said we are not friends anymore,” he replied after a moment.

”When you said that I'm the reason why Meihui doesn't want to give you a chance, you made yourself loud and clear. It was my stubbornness that I wasn't willing to accept the truth.”

”Ying, hear me out... What you said that time made me angry and that's why I said somethings I didn't mean to.”

Ying raised her hand to stop him. ”Did I lie though? I'll repeat myself again, Meihui is your stubbornness and that's why you're not willing to let her go. There is a huge difference in love and stubbornness. But you're not willing to see it!”

”That's not true!”

”Don't bother explaining it to me. I guess I have never said this before but I did love you. You're my first love which is why I'm willing to let you go for your happiness. If you're also my stubbornness, trust me, Ms. Qiu Meihui wouldn't have been able to play with your feelings so well.”
