My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1974: Not Disliked
She wasn’t someone without a sense of gratitude. Even if in the past, she treated him as an enemy, feigning sincerity, and responding with hypocrisy.
But now, she didn’t want to be so heartless anymore. No matter how harsh his words or how disgusting his actions, he never actually harmed her. Instead, he saved her repeatedly. If she had no gratitude at all, even she would despise herself.
"You don’t want to lie to me?" Fengye Wuyin’s eyes widened, his expression filled with unexpected surprise.
"Correct."
"Why?"
Yiyi shrugged, her usually shrewd and clever eyes showing a hint of helplessness: "If you were the kind of person who is malicious and constantly harming and tormenting me to the point where I loathed you completely, then I would lie to you without feeling the least bit guilty."
After all, she had always been a self-serving person and didn’t think there was anything wrong with lying to an enemy. As long as it was in her favor and ensured her safety, be it deceitful flattery or a heap of lies, it didn’t matter.
Because she simply didn’t care that these lies might hurt someone else.
But she understood, he was actually good to her, all bark and no bite. That night, when he dragged her into his room, it was to make his father abandon the idea of dealing with her. It was just unexpected that Fengye Ningyuan was so determined to sell her off.
"But, Fengye Wuyin, I don’t dislike you. In fact, you’re not as bad as I imagined, nor as vicious as you portray yourself to be. You’ve actually been quite nice to me. I truly wish we could be friends, although I understand that’s impossible." Such a proud and eccentric man probably wouldn’t be interested in a girl like her.
However, deep down, she genuinely wanted to make such a friend now.
Hearing her say she didn’t dislike him, the surprise in Fengye Wuyin’s eyes grew, displaying a completely unanticipated expression.
His exquisite and cold face seemed to show signs of melting, as if a piece of ice had been chipped away.
"Why suddenly say such sickly sweet, cheesy words." Fengye Wuyin turned his face away, his expression one of exasperation.
In truth, he felt quite happy hearing those words, a kind of indescribable pleasant feeling, though also somewhat panicky, a bit shy, and at a loss. What is this woman too cheesy.
Yiyi looked at his averted face, stunned by the slight blush that had appeared.
Could he be blushing? Oh my god, I never expected someone usually so fierce and menacing, the epitome of ’follow me and prosper, oppose me and perish,’ to be unexpectedly such a pure-hearted pretty boy!
"What’s with the sickly sweet talk? It’s gratitude. Can’t you speak properly? With an attitude like that, you’ll never find a wife in your life." Yiyi couldn’t help but retort.
Fengye Wuyin glared angrily: "That’s none of your business."
"I don’t want to interfere anyway, hmph."
Fengye Wuyin glared at her a few times, finally turning his head away in resignation and speaking seriously.
"Hey, even if you said all those things to gain sympathy, do you think it will make me let you go? You still haven’t proven anything. Helian Ling Kong came to Eagle Country with a purpose, and given your close relationship with him, you cannot prove your innocence. If I hand you over to the intelligence interrogation department, you should understand what you’ll face?"
Yiyi’s face turned slightly pale, looking at him seriously: "I didn’t expect to use these words to move you. Even if you hand me over for interrogation, I won’t blame you. You are a soldier of Eagle Country, and your position dictates that you can’t easily let any suspicious person go."
