After finishing the eveningās scenes, everyone dispersed.
Ye Yang found Song Jiaqi and dragged her to a corner, reprimanding her: "What did I tell you?"
"What did you tell me?"
"You promised me during the day that you wouldnāt consider that matter, Song Jiaqi! Is it possible you say one thing and do another?"
"What do you mean!" Song Jiaqi glared at him, "Todayās program had nothing to do with me!"
Understanding what he meant, Song Jiaqi straightforwardly said.
"Do you think Iāll believe itās nothing?"
"What do you want then?" Song Jiaqi glared back angrily, pointing at his chest, "Isnāt it... Ye Yang, are you controlling too much? No matter what, this matter isnāt up to you to decide, right? Even if I really have something with Anyang, heās unmarried, Iām unattached, why canāt I consider itā"
"You canāt consider shit!"
Song Jiaqi was stunned: "Ye Yang, you swore..."
"I really swore today!" Ye Yang pinned Song Jiaqi against the wall, "When I say no, itās no!"
"On what baā"
"On the fact that I like you!"
On the fact that I like you!
Like you...
You...
This sentence spun in Song Jiaqiās mind, leaving her bewildered.
Once she processed it, she looked around. Thankfully, no one was nearby. My God, what did she just hear!
Staring blankly, Song Jiaqi blinked and reached out to touch Ye Yangās forehead, exclaiming, "Ye Yang, are you okay? Are you sick? Do you have a fever or something?"
Ye Yang swatted her hand away, "Alright, alright! Iām not sick! Now that Iāve said it this much, Iām not hiding it any longer, Song Jiaqi! I like you! I really like you, Song Jiaqi! Whatās wrong? Why should liking you mean Iām sick?"
"..." After her initial shock, Song Jiaqi suddenly responded, "Wait... Iām saying, Young Master Ye Yang, even if we assume what youāre saying is true... Who confesses like you do? Are you confessing or threatening? If I donāt like you, are you going to kidnap me?"
"Iā"
Wasnāt he just angry with her?
"Alright, alright, I have something else. Tonight, have supper with Xiaoxi firstā"
"Wait, come backā" Ye Yang grabbed her back, "Where are you going? Have I not told you earlier that we would have supper together tonight?"
"I... I just got a last-minute invitation from Anyang, Iām just going out for a bit, Iāll be right back, you guys start first, Iāll be quickā"
Upon hearing "Anyang", Ye Yang became even more unsettled: "Song Jiaqi, what do you want! Do you really want something with that Anyang?"
"Same as before, why canāt I have something? I should make choices for my lifeā"
"Anyang isnāt suitable for you! He has a girlfriend! Stop listening to his lies, okay? You stupid woman!"
Song Jiaqi didnāt speak out of anger; she wasnāt planning to create rumors with Anyang, but she considered whether to make it real.
After all, sheās twenty-five, and her daughter is already this big, itās time to consider her lifelong matters. If heās decent... why not date, right?
But Ye Yangās words deflated Song Jiaqi: "Are you serious?"
"If what I said has even a word of falsehood, let lightning strike me!"
Song Jiaqi perked up her ears to listen for a while. Well, thereās really no lightning.
"What are you waiting for! Of course itās true! If I didnāt see you foolishly throwing yourself into the fire, I wouldnāt want to tell you about someone elseās private life."
