Chapter 1051 I Don’t Like You Anymore

“Aren’t you going to mask your aura a little?” Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow as she reminded His Highness. After all, it was fairly disorienting to see a crowd of ghosts trembling in fear in front of a petite child.Baili Jia Jue gently smiled at the crowd of ghosts and asked. “Am I that terrifying? Hmm?”

The spirits nodded! All of them frantically nodded!

Baili Jia Jue’s gaze darkened as he repeated, “Am I terrifying?”

“Not at all!!!” The spirits were still quite discerning.

Baili Jia Jue’s silvery-white ears perked up. He was still wearing a black pair of gloves on his hands as a smile played on his lips. “You guys sure know what to say.”

We didn’t want to make such an obvious lie either!

But!

Why is the Great Demon King in such a terrible mood today!

This is simply a calamity to us!

Helian Wei Wei glanced at the trembling spirits that were being forced to lie against their will.

His Highness did not seem too merry today.

She thought hard for a moment but still could not figure out the reason behind his unhappiness.

I guess I’ll let the ghosts play with him for a while.

The spirits thought to themselves in exasperation. How can this be considered as playing with him? This is clearly a one-sided intimidation!

Helian Wei Wei tried to ignore His Highness as she placed all of her attention on Lan Ya. It seems that Lan Ya could not stay too far away. The maximum distance she could leave Chen Zhendong was two meters. Fortunately, the gaps were rather small between the couches in the bar. As long as they sit with their backs facing one another, Chen Zhendong would not be able to face Helian Wei Wei’s direction.

The couch was high and the seats were soft. In the midst of the calm and gentle music, the conversation from the other table could be clearly heard.

“Don’t drink anymore.”

Chen Zhendong was probably drinking too quickly, so Xiao Ziqiu could no longer remain quiet. She reached over and stopped him as he lifted the cup to his lips.

Chen Zhendong smiled briefly. His head tilted slightly, as he lit his cigarette and held it between his fingers. He appeared particularly obedient before his company.

Lan Ya was sitting opposite Helian Wei Wei, so she could watch the entire scene clearly.

However, Chen Zhendong was unable to see her.

Thinking back to their past interactions...

She was always the one tolerating his tempers.

Even so, she could never make him smile like this.

It’s time to concede.

“Recently, I often think that the heavens made me a spirit so that I could give up on him sooner.” Lan Ya withdrew her gaze and smiled at Helian Wei Wei, saying, “Seeing them now, I finally realized how silly I was in the past.”

Helian Wei Wei remained silent.

Lan Ya paused for a moment before raising her head. Her expression was solemn as she continued, “I want to live on, you know? If I’d just simply died, they’d be burdened with guilt, believing that they were the ones who turned me into this. I don’t want to place myself in such a lowly position anymore, nor to play the role of someone else’s supporting character. I don’t want their guilt and repentance either. I want us to owe nothing to one another. Now, do you still think that I have an obsession?”

“We shall continue this topic later.” Helian Wei Wei smiled all of a sudden when she looked at her vibrating phone. “The phone call is here. Let’s take a look at what Mr. Chen has to say.”

Lan Ya was stunned for a moment. She looked at Chen Zhendong on the opposite side, who had drunk more than ten bottles of alcohol.

Xiao Ziqiu had gone to the bathroom, so he was alone by the table.

He’s calling us to pass the time, isn’t he?

“Hello, Mr. Chen?” Helian Wei Wei spoke quietly.

The voice on the other side was void of any warmth and he curtly asked, “Who’s the person she’s in love with?”

Helian Wei Wei covered the phone and idly asked Lan Ya, “Name a male friend that you’re closest with.”

“Huh?” Lan Ya could not understand the purpose behind Helian Wei Wei’s question, but she answered nonetheless.

Helian Wei Wei repeated after her without hesitation. “Duan Hailou, I’m sure that Mr. Chen is familiar with him? Everyone can see how well he treats Lan Ya.”

“I don’t believe you.” Chen Zhendong’s tone suddenly lowered, it sounded as if he was replying to Helian Wei Wei, but was also mumbling to himself. “I don’t believe you.”

Helian Wei Wei continued leisurely. “Mr. Chen, as I said before, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me.”

“Whatever,” Chen Zhendong sounded drunk as he mumbled, “I didn’t call you to continue lying to me. I just need you to tell her that our contract hasn’t expired yet. If she doesn’t want me to terminate it, she better come home soon. After all that she’s done, isn’t this the result she is looking for?”

When she heard his reply, Helian Wei Wei lifted her head to look at Lan Ya.

Lan Ya stopped looking at Chen Zhendong, as her heart began to feel numb. “He thinks that I was the one who did all that. As a matter of fact, there isn’t much of a difference. Even now, after I’ve turned into a spirit, I’m still lingering by him due to my obsession. If I was in his position, I would feel the same toward such a clingy person.”

Helian Wei Wei left the phone conversation hanging as she looked at Lan Ya. Then, she began plainly, “I wasn’t referring to you as the one with an obsession. I was referring to him.”

Lan Ya was shaken. “What do you mean?”

Helian Wei Wei did not answer Lan Ya immediately. Instead, she spoke to Chen Zhendong who was still on the other end of the line. “Mr. Chen, I don’t intend to continue twisting the facts with you. You are the one who first started flirting with other women. It’s also you who have given up on Lan Ya. On what basis do you believe that Lan Ya will remain where she is, waiting for you? You might even receive her wedding invitation soon. Are you trying to be unreasonable, simply because you’re younger than her? If so, I must apologize. I will not be relaying your message to her. I wouldn’t want my friend to be harassed by her ex-boyfriend while she is seeking true love. To be honest with you, Mr. Chen, if your attitude remains unchanged, Lan Ya might even come to loathe you the next time she sees you.

Loathe?

Chen Zhendong shuddered, even breathing had become a little difficult for him. “So, she really fell in love with someone else.”

“That’s right,” Helian Wei Wei replied curtly.

After receiving an answer, Chen Zhendong did not speak any further. He ended the call with lowered eyelids and stopped drinking as he did earlier.

Lan Ya gave a brief smile. He has probably stopped troubling over me.

Now that he knows that I’ve fallen in love with someone else.

He should be able to rest assured now.

As expected, when Xiao Ziqiu walked over, she merely touched his head.

Yet he pulled Xiao Ziqiu forcefully into his arms.

From her angle, Lan Ya could even see Xiao Ziqiu’s blushing cheeks.

I can finally be free Lan Ya silently thought to herself.

After my death.

Right, I’m already dead.

I might never return to my body at this rate.

However, that doesn’t matter.

I could finally remove every thorn that is stuck in my heart.

They said that love had no physical presence.

It was only after you had experienced heartache for the first time.

You would come to realize you had fallen in love.

She fell in love with him, but it happened too early.

Hence, in order to forget him, she would have to experience bitter agony down to every single bone in her body. She would have to dismantle herself, reassemble, and watch as he pulled someone else into his loving embrace.

Only then, she could declare it with ease.

Chen Zhendong, I don’t like you anymore.

It’s true.

I don’t like you anymore.
