My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1989: What Am I to You

He wanted to bring her back from Eagle Country and even suppressed his jealousy and anger with great effort.

But he had been searching for a month, almost losing his mind.

Yet, she had already secretly returned from Eagle Country without giving him the slightest hint.

When he found out she was back, he didn’t even know how to feel. He just felt that he had spent a month recklessly searching for her, ignoring the negotiations with Eagle Country and the important intelligence work, like a fool.

She played him like an idiot.

"Let go of me, I have nothing to say to you." Yiyi panicked; she didn’t want to stay with this man who was so clearly consumed by anger, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

After all, she certainly wouldn’t meet a good end.

She quickly struggled to pry his palm open, but she couldn’t match his strength. His hand was like a wall of iron, immovable, and in his fury, his grip was frighteningly strong.

"Mr. Helian, she doesn’t want to, you shouldn’t force her like this." Wubai frowned and spoke up.

Ji Lingkong glared at him coldly, with a hint of disdain at the corners of his mouth, "Do you want to show off your gentlemanly demeanor, or be a hero saving the beauty? No matter what your intention is, this time I won’t allow anyone to intervene. The private matter between her and me must be resolved tonight! If you’re a sensible man, you should know when to step in and when to stay out, that’s what’s truly good for her!"

Wubai hesitated; it was indeed not his place to meddle in the couple’s private affairs.

Moreover, it seemed their argument was quite intense. Such conflicts couldn’t be resolved by silent treatment; ultimately, they had to face and resolve them.

But seeing Yiyi’s unwilling expression, he felt somewhat compassionate.

"Then there’s no need to go elsewhere, let’s solve it right here." Yiyi coldly glared at Ji Lingkong, "I thought I made myself clear last time. I didn’t expect the dignified son of the councilman to cling so shamelessly, are you that reluctant to let me go?"

Ji Lingkong’s face turned increasingly unsightly, paling to a snow-white hue.

"What do you take me for?"

"For what? Naturally, for a troublesome and annoying guy. You presumptuously want me to be your fiancée, presumptuously think of me as yours. Before, I had no choice but to endure. Did you really think I liked you?"

Ji Lingkong tightened his grip on her hand, his face turning even paler in the night, coldly questioning.

"So, you feel humiliated and uncomfortable being asked to be my fiancée?"

Yiyi was taken aback. It wasn’t exactly humiliating or particularly uncomfortable. After all, she had also harbored a slight intention to leverage his influence, just a bit annoyed. After all, she was naturally free-spirited, unwilling to be coerced.

But whenever she thought of Fengzi and his rumors, she felt hurt.

She wanted to retaliate and humiliate his dignity.

"Yes, you surely don’t think I was willing, do you? You’re not that charming!"

"Haven’t I treated you well enough? You only remember what I did wrong, not the times I’ve cherished and protected you."

Yiyi turned her head aside, biting her lip.

"I never asked you to be good to me, and your kindness is meaningless to me."

Ji Lingkong was shocked, staring at her indifferent face. His lungs felt as if they were burning, unbearable pain, yet for the sake of pride and dignity, he became expressionless, not wanting to be belittled by her.
