He Fei suddenly recalled what she said over the phone the moment he saw her. His upturned lips had turned downwards and he asked in a strange tone, “Yiyi, do you really like Second Brother?”

“That’s right.”

He Fei became anxious. “Then what about me? I went there because of you…”

“Hold it. I’ve never said that I like you and it’s all your wishful thinking. Don’t say that you’ve done something because of me etc. As for you liking me, isn’t it because of my appearance?”

“Ugh… I… it’s not…”

He Fei felt somewhat guilty. It was indeed because of Zi Yi’s confidence and wild beauty when she repaired cars, that he fell for her.

Zi Yi looked at the speechless He Fei and laughed. Her laughter contained traces of mockery. “As a high society young master in the capital, you repeatedly stressed that I am the Dou family’s granddaughter, so that your family knows it would not be a loss if I marry in.

After staying in S City for so long, you should have heard of the type of person my father is. With a single word from your family, he would certainly pack me up and send me over at once. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, you never intended to ask about my opinion.”

“I didn’t..” He Fei wanted to refute her, but with her cold eyes staring at him, he could not utter a single word.

In fact, he purely liked Zi Yi and was entrapped by her beautiful appearance along with her confidence. He had never thought of the other stuff.

“During the dinner party at your house, you might have not known about it. But I don’t believe that your mother had never mentioned anything in front of you. What did you do after that? Were you only thinking about proving that you are sincere to me?”

“I…”

“Most importantly, I don’t believe that you aren’t aware that my grandfather had sent me an ultimatum where he would no longer care for me in the future… I believe you did not bring this up with your family members?”

Zi Yi’s expression was calm when she said all these things. It was to the extent that it seemed the things she described had no relation to her.

He Fei looked at her current appearance. His heart seemed to be tightly pulled by something and he felt suffocated as his mind buzzed.

“In the future, don’t ever say you like me again. Your ‘like’ is too one-sided and it’s impossible for me to reciprocate your feelings. If you continue to cling onto me, I will punch you every time I see you.”

Zi Yi raised her fist at him.

Out of conditioned reflex, He Fei took a small step back.

Zi Yi snorted, headed to her car, and drove off, leaving behind He Fei who stood there alone for a long long time.

It was so long that he was caught in an unexpected rainstorm.

…

“Miss Zi, it’s raining.”

The housekeeper stood at the garage entrance as he looked at Zi Yi who was currently modifying her cars. “It seems like the rain will not ease any time soon. Would you like to wait for the rain to stop before continuing?”

Zi Yi looked up at the rain outside the garage and nodded.

The housekeeper passed her an umbrella and they headed towards the villa together.

After they came indoors, Zi Yi asked, “If the rain doesn’t stop tonight, are we still staying at my villa?”

“Yes. The Second Young Master said that since the monitoring equipment is faulty, all of the security system in the villa is to be changed. Coincidentally, it can’t be tested during a rainy day.”

Zi Yi gave him a sideways look.

The housekeeper kept a straight face under her stare.

Zi Yi shifted her gaze away and agreed.

As expected, the rain continued to fall even during the night.

After dinner, Zi Yi and a group of people went back to her villa.

When it was around 8 p.m, she suddenly received Dou Zerui’s call.

To her surprise, Dou Zerui asked her over the phone, “Cousin, it’s the college entrance examination tomorrow and your enrollment in high school has yet to be cancelled. If you are willing, I will find a way to let you enter the examination halls.”
