“This was originally mine, why should I return it?” He replied, then turned to Ke Nanyu, “This is the key to making you admit defeat, how can I let this brat take it?”
Goodness, he completely forgot about the bet. He needed to quickly stop Qin Weilun from talking. Losing was losing, losing face was losing face, but he couldn’t let Xingcan misunderstand.
“I need to discuss something with you,” he quickly put his hand on his shoulder, “Let’s go over there.”
“You’re admitting defeat, right? Perfect, let them be witnesses.”
“Shut up!” He really wanted to point at his neck and tell him to speak less.
“What’s going on?” Yuan Xingcan was completely confused, with everyone talking over each other, making her head spin and unable to understand the situation.
“Second Sister, can’t you see? These two jerks bet on whether he could chase you, using you as a game!”
Men are all bastards, it made her so angry. She had even once had designs on Ke Nanyu, truly blind!
“What?” A bet? A game? Had she heard wrong? But why did Ke Nanyu’s expression look so unnatural?
“I won,” Qin Weilun rushed to say.
Kenan Ning, don’t misunderstand. It’s not like that,” Kenan Ning said anxiously: “You must let me explain.”
“What is there to explain? Haven’t you lied enough?” Yang Qing protectively stood in front of Yuan Xingcan, “I heard Qin Wilun say with my own ears that he bet with you that if you could win my second sister, he would give you his beloved car.”
Yuan Xingcan stared directly at Kenan Yu, her face filled with shock and disbelief. “This was just a bet?”
“Yes.” He gritted his teeth and honestly admitted, “I admit that at first it was because of a bet, but later, I couldn’t help falling in love with you.”
Damn Qin Wilun and Yuan Yangqing, they said everything they should and shouldn’t say. If Xingcan wasn’t furious, she must have had good luck from burning incense and doing good deeds in her previous life.
“You proposed to me because of a bet with him?” She bit her lip, trembling all over.
Yuan Xingcan felt so miserable she wanted to bang her head against the wall. She had been deceived; everything was just a boring bet!
His gentleness and care were all to hook her, to make her foolishly fall in love with him, using her true feelings to win his victory.
How ridiculous and despicable! Ridiculous that she thought Kenan Ning was sincere, and despicable that he could play with her so cruelly?
She reached out to press the elevator button, and with a ding, the doors opened. She shook her head and walked in.
Trying to suppress her urge to cry, she couldn’t show weakness in front of Kenan Yu. She wanted him to know that he hadn’t hurt her!
Seeing her expression, Yuan Yangqing felt a bit regretful. If she wasn’t deeply hurt, why wasn’t her second sister angry, crying, or feeling insulted?
Could it be that she truly had deep feelings, and therefore couldn’t accept it at all, which is why she showed no emotion?
Thinking about this, she was angry at herself for being so impulsive and revealing everything. She seemed to have caused trouble again.
Kenan Yu glared at the two busybodies and immediately followed her.
He grabbed her arm, “Xingcan…”
“Don’t touch me,” she said coldly, not even giving him a glance.
He helplessly let go of her hand, “Give me a chance to explain.”
He knew she was truly angry, but she hadn’t thrown anything in his face, hadn’t cursed him out, hadn’t become hysterical – as if nothing had happened, which worried him.
“Don’t treat me like I’m invisible, don’t act like I don’t exist! Xingcan, talk to me!”
She remained silent, focusing on the flickering floor lights.
He looked at her frustratedly, “You can’t just ignore my existence! Listen to me. At first, it was indeed a bet. I never expected to fall in love with you.
After falling in love with you, you were all I could think about. I had long forgotten about the bet. If I meant to play with you or deceive you, why would I ask for your forgiveness? Why would I make myself so miserable?”
She still ignored him, completely treating him as if he didn’t exist.
He grabbed her arm and forcefully turned her to face him, “Don’t do this to me!”
She looked into his eyes, which were filled with pleading, pain, and regret.
But she still turned away, saying nothing, showing no expression.
When the elevator doors opened again, he weakly let go, letting her walk out.
The moment Yuan Xingcan turned around, her tears burst forth, completely breaking down her defenses!
Her mind was filled with one thought: she was just a bet! Her position in his heart was less than a car; she was just a mere amusement!
She will definitely be able to forget about Ke Nanyun, and of course, forget the hurt he brought her.
That afternoon, she returned home in a daze, feeling that she must find something to do, otherwise she would definitely collapse!
So she poured all her energy into work.
“Second Sister, Ke Nanyun might be despicable, but he’s also pitiful.”
“Yangqing,” she hardened her face, “don’t mention that name.”
“You can’t pretend he doesn’t exist. He’s right here, waiting for you downstairs every day. Haven’t you seen how his gaze follows you around? If you had, your heart wouldn’t be so hard! He truly loves you,” she sighed.
Yuan Xingcan covered her ears, “I can’t hear! Can’t hear! Can’t hear!”
Does he love her? She had no certainty at all! She had begun to doubt that when he said he loved her, she would worry it might be another cruel manipulation.
She sighed again, “You not only can’t hear, but your heart can’t feel either.”
Feel? “You will never understand my feelings! I was just a bet, you’re not, how could you understand my feelings?”
Yuan Yangqing didn’t understand her words, “Perhaps I don’t understand. I only know there’s a man who loves you madly, and you can’t feel it at all.”
She suddenly trembled! Ke Nanyun loves her madly? He has already pursued her, already proven his unparalleled male charm, already been able to flaunt his allure to women, what else could he be unsatisfied with?
He has already won a bet, so he should stop bothering her, stop having any connection with her!
“You’re wrong! He’s not madly in love with me. I’m just a bet, and bets have no feelings.”
Yuan Yangqing stared at her blankly. The only thought in her mind was – oh no, it turns out her second sister loves him, loves him so miserably.

She turned her head in surprise.
What came into view was a vast expanse of gentle blue.
Blue Alice, the messenger of love, conveying love’s message.
Ke Nanyou used a window washer’s crane to carry a full load of blue Alice, hanging outside the twenty-eighth floor.
He was immersed in a blue sea of love, with only the radiant light of stars able to guide him ashore. “Xingcan!”
Yuan Xingcan cried out in shock, rushing to the glass, “You, what are you doing?”
She was terrified, was he standing steady? The wind was so strong today, swaying back and forth, she was about to have a heart attack just watching.
”I’m begging you! Marry me!” he shouted.
Due to safety concerns, her window could only be opened a tiny crack, just enough to stick out one hand.
”Quickly get down!”
”Are you worried I’ll fall?” he said with a cheerful laugh: “Don’t worry, I won’t die before I tell you I love you.”
”Stop talking nonsense!” she said anxiously: “Quickly get down, it’s too dangerous.”
”I won’t die,” he said seriously: “If I die, no one will love you like I do, so I won’t die.”
”Stop it!” she was touched and worried, unable to hold back her tears.
Her tears made him reluctant, “Xingcan, don’t cry. I’m a damn bastard, not worth your tears.”
