Chapter 417 She Doesn't Like You
Lu Yangyang didn't understand business matters, so she didn't join in the fun.
Standing in the crowd, watching the opening ceremony, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
As more and more people gathered, the street near the entrance became crowded, so Lu Yangyang had no choice but to turn around and go back first.
She had just turned around when someone accidentally stepped on the shoes of the person next to her, causing her to be pushed hard as well. Not wanting to inconvenience the person next to her, she hurriedly reached out to block and steady herself. But as soon as she regained her footing, her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled forward forcefully.
Caught off guard, she lunged forward.
Someone grabbed her arm and hugged her tightly, her brow hitting the other person's chest hard.
Lu Yangyang quickly steadied herself, looked up, and unexpectedly bumped into a pair of handsome eyes with a slightly roguish air.
"Lin Wuji?" Lu Yangyang blurted out.
Then she pushed him away.
Lin Wuji was pushed back two steps by her. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Yangyang's veil was pulled off, and her bright and lively eyes suddenly met his gaze.
Lin Wuji was suddenly stunned.
"You, you're that ugly girl?" Lin Wuji blurted out in disbelief.
Lu Yangyang didn't plan to show her face today, so she didn't conceal her appearance. However, since Prince Rong hadn't left Jiangnan Prefecture yet, she was worried about running into him, so she casually tore off a piece of Jiang Zhiyi's veil to cover her face. But when she pushed Lin Wuji just now, it got caught on his sleeve and fell off.
Then I heard Lin Wuji's foul mouth open and call her an ugly girl.
Lu Yangyang didn't have a good impression of him to begin with, but on both occasions they met, he first called her ugly. Was he perhaps suffering from some serious illness?
Lu Yangyang stared intently at him, and the next moment, she shouted into the crowd, "There's a thief! Everyone, come and catch the thief!"
Today, Jiang Zhiyi's shop opened. To prevent any trouble, Jiang Xun specially arranged for soldiers to patrol the area. Not only the onlookers, but also the nearby soldiers and merchants all turned to look at Lin Wuji when they heard there was a thief. Lu Yangyang seized the opportunity, turned around and ran. Before Lin Wuji could even explain, he was surrounded by a group of people.
Lin Wuji tried to explain, but no one believed him. He had no choice but to ask Ming Ruo, who was watching the commotion from outside the crowd, for help. After a while, they finally managed to rescue Lin Wuji from the encirclement.
Lin Wuji clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and seeing the direction Lu Yangyang had run off in the distance, he took off after her.
Lu Yangyang didn't expect him to escape so quickly. As soon as she saw that he was being chased, she immediately took off running. She ran for two whole streets until she reached a small alley. When she turned around and saw that no one was chasing her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she could even feel happy, Lin Wuji jumped down from the wall and blocked her way: "Why aren't you running away anymore?"
Lu Yangyang: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Wuji was so angry he almost laughed: "You dare to accuse me of being a thief in broad daylight and in front of everyone? What do you think I want to do?"
Lu Yangyang snorted: "Then why did I call you an ugly girl in broad daylight and in front of everyone?"
"I..." Lin Wuji stammered. He had finally had some free time these past few days, but Mingruo insisted on coming to see the opening of some shop that sells women's cosmetics. He originally thought that Mingruo wanted to buy some gifts for that Miss Lu, but when he arrived, she didn't go in. Instead, she stared at the back of a woman in the crowd. He asked her curiously if it was that Miss Lu, and Mingruo didn't deny it.
He was curious and wanted to go up and say hello, but what happened next caught him completely off guard.
And he never expected...
The radiant girl before me was none other than the disheveled, grimy girl from that night.
If there's anything that's absolutely impossible to mistake, it's definitely her eyes. Whether it was that night or now, they're so bright that you subconsciously overlook her appearance.
She is very beautiful.
He had never seen such a beautiful person before, except for the young master Junyi, the owner of Tiancheng Trading Company that day. But upon closer inspection, the two even looked somewhat alike.
He couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed. How blind must he be to call her an ugly girl?
Feeling somewhat guilty, Lin Wuji couldn't help but take two steps forward, getting closer to her, leaning slightly forward, and saying with a slight smile, "I was blind. I apologize to you, okay?"
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes: "A good dog doesn't block the way!"
Lin Wuji was stunned. Seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly reached out to stop her: "Hey, why are you so petty? I admit that I misjudged you that day. I'm apologizing to you now. You were just teasing me!"
Lu Yangyang turned her head to look at him and held up one finger: "First, judging people by their appearance. Just because you think your apology is sincere, does that mean I have to accept it?"
Then he held up another finger: "Second, I don't know you well and I didn't intend to have any extra conflict with you, so you insulted me and I teased you, so we're even. Please move aside."
After saying that, she pushed him away and left without asking Lin Wuji's permission.
She genuinely didn't understand. She wasn't even going to argue with him anymore, so what was he trying to do by striking those poses? It was truly bizarre.
Well, once things are back on track in a few days, she'll be leaving Jiangnan Prefecture and we'll never see each other again. It's better to avoid trouble.
As Lu Yangyang thought this, she quickened her pace, wanting only to shake off Lin Wuji as soon as possible.
Lin Wuji watched Lu Yangyang's figure disappear faster than a rabbit, completely baffled.
When he came out of the alley and saw Mingruo who had come looking for him, he couldn't help but walk over, pinch his chin, and circle around in front of Mingruo: "What do you think of my appearance?"
Mingruo frowned: "Is it alright?"
Lin Wuji's expression cracked inch by inch: "Is...is that acceptable?"
Mingruo asked honestly, "Is it better than Shangke?"
Lin Wuji: "Wouldn't that attract young girls?"
Mingruo thought for a moment and nodded: "It's acceptable."
Lin Wuji raised his chin. "Then do you think that Miss Lu would like my type? After all, I'm quite dashing and promising at a young age, right? I also have a bit of chivalry. Don't all those young girls like my type?"
Mingruo interrupted him without hesitation: "She doesn't like it."
Lin Wuji: "What?"
Mingruo repeated calmly, "She doesn't like you."
Lin Wuji looked hurt: "Hey, brother, let's be fair. You can't deny my charm just because she's your sweetheart, right? We're childhood sweethearts, we grew up together, right? Be serious, be fair, and give me your opinion without any personal bias."
Mingruo slapped away his outstretched hand: "She can't possibly like you, because she has someone she likes."
Lin Wuji asked in surprise, "Who?"
"A person who is hard not to like."
