Lin Jiage didn’t look at the subsequent replies Shi Yao sent back.
He turned to look out the window and watched the streets passing by. After a while, a glint flickered in his eyes as he said, “Let’s stop by the old residence first.”
The car was originally very silent, so his abrupt words caused both the driver and Shi Yao to look at him with surprise.
The driver swiftly recovered and replied with an “Alright” before changing the car’s path from its original destination.
If he’s going home, then what about me?
Shi Yao stared at Lin Jiage for five seconds, and in that moment, the car happened to pass a subway station. Thus, she quickly spoke up, “Uh… You can let me down here. I’ll take a train back to school…”
“What about the cake then?” Lin Jiage shot a glance at Shi Yao as he asked with a slightly chilly voice.
So he wanted to head back to the old residence to pass me the cake?
Before Shi Yao could say a word, Lin Jiage had already continued, “You’re not thinking of making me deliver the cake to your dorm room, are you?”
Without any hesitation, Shi Yao hurriedly shook her head, “N-no, of course not!”
Six years ago, when his objections were overthrown and he was forced to accept her as his fiancée, he had personally gone to find her to confront her on their engagement.
That was the only time he had spoken to her in those six years.
Even though she was still very young back then, she still remembered every single word he’d said. The six years did nothing to fade her memory of those words, and she didn’t dare to let it fade either.
He’d said, ‘My grandfather is the only one who acknowledges you as my fiancée. As for me, you’d better not dream about it. There’s no way I’ll ever accept you as my fiancée in this lifetime.’
‘The only fiancée I’ll recognize will be someone that I like. She’ll definitely be more beautiful than you, more graceful than you, more adorable than you, more innocent than you, more high-born than you, more…’
He’d listed many more “more”s in a single breath, and every word that he spoke had dripped with scorn and disdain.
‘So, don’t try to get close to me just because Grandpa made you my fiancée. You and I will only be strangers. Even if Grandpa transfers you to my school, you’d better not try to talk to me or spread any rumors. If I hear from anyone that there’s something between us, I definitely won’t let you get away it!’
Without even giving her a chance to speak, he had made his opinion quite clear.
After saying those words, he turned around and left. But after barely taking two steps, he turned around and added in a commanding tone, “Did you hear me loud and clear?”
It was only after she nodded that he finally walked away with a satisfied look.
She was really young back then, only thirteen. His ferocious attitude had left her frightened, to the point that she could barely swallow a bowl of rice that night.
Recalling that experience, she discreetly rubbed her belly.
Even to this day, she could still vaguely remember how she couldn’t go to sleep due to hunger, and that great discomfort had left her on the verge of tears…
He was probably saying those words to avoid any unnecessary connections between them, there was no need for her to think too deeply about it.
On the other hand, Lin Jiage also didn’t seem interested in dwelling on the topic, so after a perfunctory nod, he fell silent in an attempt to let the matter pass.
However, to Shi Yao’s eyes, his perfunctory nod seemed to be a sign of his distrust towards her.
Shi Yao straightened her posture, and her aura grew solemn as well. “I still remember the words you said back then.”
“So, over the years, I’ve never said your name in front of anyone, and I didn’t spread any rumors either. As for my friends at school, none of them know that…”
Shi Yao was intending to use the word “related”, but she felt that their relationship didn’t justify the usage of the word, so she switched to another one instead, “… we’ve spoken to each other.”
