My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1831: More Important Than Him

His current mood was extremely terrible, and the sharp questioning pierced the eardrum loudly.

This made Yiyi’s heart jump with fright, pounding wildly.

"Uh... I can’t make it today, sorry." In front of his domineering aura, Yiyi instinctively smiled and apologized, though she felt depressed in her heart, wondering why she needed to apologize, completely overshadowed by his bad-tempered aura.

In front of him, she always seemed to be at a disadvantage, unconsciously feeling guilty.

"Did something happen?" Ling Kong’s voice immediately turned anxious and worried, thinking she had encountered some unexpected trouble, making him nervous.

"No, no, it’s just that I’m feeling a bit unwell, my head feels dizzy. I suppose it’s because I’ve been working too hard on my studies recently without proper rest. I just need to lie down for half a day, and it should be fine. And since I have to go to Star Dust for an exam tomorrow, I’m planning to rest today and recharge my energy."

Yiyi awkwardly concocted a reasonable excuse, having already planned in her mind how to muddle through as she came out earlier, thinking about how to deceive him.

But when she heard his tone transform from rage to worry and concern, she felt not only guilty.

There was also a subtle sense of guilt.

He was genuinely concerned about her, but she was deceiving him with lies.

It felt rather excessive!

Upon hearing her explanation, Ling Kong’s anger disappeared without a trace, and his voice became gentle:

"Since you’re not feeling well, it’s okay if you don’t come. Have a good rest. By the way, how do you feel physically? Is it very uncomfortable? I’ll send a doctor over to check on you and prescribe some medicine."

Yiyi was taken aback: "Ah... no need, it’s not a serious problem, just a bit of fatigue. Resting in bed for a while will be fine."

If a doctor really came to see her, she’d be completely exposed.

Ling Kong pondered for a moment and said with a thoughtful tone, "If you’re still unwell tomorrow morning, don’t go to the exam."

"How can that be? I must go to this exam. It’s the most important thing in my heart. I have to go." Yiyi’s voice hardened, filled with force.

She was anxious, genuinely afraid that this domineering man would restrict her actions and not allow her to go because she was sick.

Then all her months of effort would be in vain, and she absolutely couldn’t stand her plans falling through.

"Is it necessary to be in such a rush?" Hearing her forceful tone made Ling Kong slowly squint his eyes, his heart filled with displeasure because he heard something that sounded quite grating, "You said it’s the most important thing in your heart?"

The words carried a subtle strangeness, somewhat sarcastic and somewhat angry, sending a chill down Yiyi’s spine.

She didn’t know which point upset this man with her words.

"Uh..." She was wondering how to muddle through it.

But then she heard Ling Kong snort coldly: "As your man, to find that I’m not the most important in your heart. Yiyi, such a statement is very unpleasant and hurts a man’s pride! Something more important than me, how about destroying it?"

It seemed like a consultative tone, yet it was full of carelessly malicious intent, fueled by an unknown anger, burning with a sense of being unappreciated.

Possessive as he was, the person he considered most important didn’t keep him in her heart, instead treating that laughable exam as the most important thing, which made him displeased to the point of wanting to destroy it.
