Chapter 508: Chapter 497: Is It So Hard to Admit It!
"Wow——"
Vehicles came and went on the bridge, the roar of engines was deafening.
Under the streetlight, Tianyun turned her head, staring directly at Ye Huan, waiting for his answer.
Ye Huan was stunned for a long time, obviously not expecting Tianyun to say such a thing.
But when he came to his senses, he frowned and refused without thinking: "No reconciliation."
"But I want to reconcile, I really regret it!" Tianyun gritted her teeth.
Regret?
Ye Huan said coldly, "Tianyun, marriage is not a child’s play. Have you ever heard of a couple getting divorced in the morning and remarried the next day?"
"Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it can’t happen!"
"I won’t mention divorce again, and I’ll try to become a gentle and virtuous wife."
"I won’t be cold to you anymore and will try to share you with Lilith and the others. Please reconcile with me, okay?"
In the biting cold wind, Tianyun’s legs trembled, but after she sincerely pleaded, she still stepped forward, trying to hug Ye Huan.
But because she was drunk, she lost her balance as soon as she took a step, losing her footing and falling with a scream.
Fortunately, Ye Huan reached out and caught her just in time.
He helped her up, and after she regained her balance, he stepped back slightly, shook his head slowly, and sighed, "Tianyun, I can’t reconcile with you. Don’t bring it up again."
It was hard enough to get divorced; he certainly didn’t want to get married again.
"But I love you, after our divorce, I feel like dying!"
Tianyun, emboldened by the alcohol, bluntly said words akin to a confession.
Ye Huan knew Tianyun had feelings for him, but hearing her confession-like words, he couldn’t help but blush.
"Without reconciling with you, I don’t know how to go on living!"
"And you have no reason not to reconcile with me. You obviously have possessiveness towards me!"
"Could it be that you’re willing to watch me be with another man?"
Tianyun added, declaring her lifetime attachment to Ye Huan, making her statement merely to provoke him.
Admittedly, it was very effective!
Ye Huan was inexplicably angry. He couldn’t admit to having possessiveness over his "ex-wife" in front of his "ex-wife."
It’s too embarrassing.
He’d be laughed at!
"Please, stop being delusional!" Ye Huan gritted through clenched teeth.
"Ha."
"You think I’m delusional? Then let me ask you a few questions to see if I’m the one being delusional or you’re being insincere."
"You must answer truthfully."
Tianyun put her hands on her hips, pouting as she spoke.
"I refuse to answer," Ye Huan said darkly.
"If you don’t answer, then you admit you have possessiveness towards me, and you don’t want to see me involved with other men."
"Then go ahead and ask!" Ye Huan said, now provoked and a bit exasperated.
Tianyun held up one finger and threw out a question, "At the Capital City civil affairs office, when a lady introduced me to her son and handed me his contact information and photo, why did you react so strangely? Why did you step between the lady and me? You didn’t want me to take the photo and contact information, did you?"
The first question made Ye Huan’s face flush.
His thoughts at the time were exactly as Tianyun described, but he couldn’t admit it, for he’d surely be ridiculed by Tianyun!
"You’re overthinking. I didn’t deliberately come between you and the lady, and I had no intention of preventing you from taking the photo and note." Ye Huan intentionally lowered his voice to sound serious, trying to add credibility to his words.
Little did he know, it instead sounded very forced.
His reaction gave Tianyun the answer she wanted, and she smiled even more.
"The second question," Tianyun raised a second finger, "When you saw me chatting with the lady’s son on WeChat, your reaction was also strange, repeatedly advising me from a side angle not to continue talking to her son. You must have felt annoyed seeing me chatting with the son, am I right?"
Ye Huan’s face turned red again. How did she keep guessing right?
Even his gaze became evasive as he retorted, "That wasn’t the case, you’re overthinking it."
"Am I overthinking it, or is someone too shy to admit it?"
With a teasing remark, Tianyun extended a third finger and continued asking, "When I asked a male passerby to take me home just now, you instinctively got anxious and drew a gun. Why is that?"
Ye Huan felt like he’d completely lost face.
He indeed got anxious, but he couldn’t admit it!
He flatly denied, "I didn’t get anxious, stop talking nonsense!"
"You clearly got anxious!"
"Back then, you were so angry, without a second thought, you pulled out a gun and threatened that pedestrian to leave."
"What else could that be but possessiveness for me? That’s your subconscious reaction, you can’t explain it away!"
"Is it really that hard to admit you’re possessive of me, that embarrassing?"
Liu Tianyun went on and on passionately.
The more she spoke, the more embarrassed Ye Huan became, his face turning beet red.
"You’re drunk, I’ll take you home!" Ye Huan said, feeling both ashamed and angry as he reached out and grabbed Liu Tianyun’s arm.
Liu Tianyun took the chance to dive into his embrace, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his chest.
The drunken flush on her cheeks masked that hint of newly risen blush.
"One last question."
"This afternoon, when you took me back to S-01, I made a ’call’ after you left. The call was about me ’dating’ someone else. How did you feel and react when you heard that?"
"Please describe it truthfully!"
When Liu Tianyun said this, her tone was coy and charming.
Her voice was naturally ethereal and pleasant, and when she acted spoiled, it really took Ye Huan’s breath away, making his whole body weak.
As he felt weakened, Ye Huan secretly grumbled in his heart.
This woman can be as cold as an iceberg, but when she acts spoiled, her charm is even more overwhelming than a little girl’s?
Is this what they call charming contrasts???
Ridiculous!
Ye Huan muttered inwardly, his old face also completely flushed red, like a monkey’s butt!
Describing how he felt and reacted at that time?
Not just then, even now, thinking of it still brings a surge of inexplicable anger.
"Why are you quiet? If you don’t want to say, forget it. Even if you stay silent, I can guess how you felt and reacted!"
"You must have been very frustrated, very angry, and really wanted to know who I was meeting!"
"Don’t rush to deny it."
Liu Tianyun extended her finger to Ye Huan’s lips, stopping him from speaking.
With a playful expression, she continued, "If you want to know who I was meeting, just tell me now, and I’ll let you know."
Ye Huan was very tempted.
Saying he didn’t want to know would be a lie.
But he couldn’t show it too obviously either.
"Uh..." Ye Huan’s eyes flickered, his tone very unnatural, "I... I might be a little curious."
"Is it a little, or a lot?"
"But, that’s not important. Whether it’s a little or a lot, it still indirectly means you admit you have possessiveness over me."
"Since that’s the case, you definitely don’t want me to have anything to do with other men, so what reason do you have not to remarry me?"
"Remarry me, okay?"
Liu Tianyun asked softly, her gaze filled with hope, wishing for Ye Huan to give her a satisfactory answer.
But Ye Huan knew he was being tricked, feeling utterly humiliated and angry, how could he agree?
"Please, stop being delusional, I don’t have the slightest possessiveness over you, nor do I care who you’re meeting!"
With that, he took hold of Liu Tianyun and walked towards the BMW Mini, "Come on, stop messing around, I’ll take you home!"
This time, even Liu Tianyun was a bit angry!
What’s so hard about admitting he has possessiveness over her?
She had said so much, literally speaking until her mouth was dry, but this stubborn pig still wouldn’t admit it, wasting her breath!
Liu Tianyun broke free from Ye Huan’s embrace, then pointed towards the surging river below the bridge, and shouted in embarrassment and anger:
"Fine, you say you aren’t possessive of me!"
"I’ll give you a chance to prove it to me!"
"As long as you jump down from here, I’ll believe you aren’t possessive of me, and I won’t bother you ever again!"
"Fine, it’s your own words, don’t regret it!"
Ye Huan said through gritted teeth, as he slapped the bridge railing with one hand, making a pole-vaulting motion, and leapt down.
This action turned Liu Tianyun’s face ghostly pale!
"Don’t jump!!!"
Liu Tianyun screamed anxiously, reaching her arms out to grab Ye Huan, but it was too late!
She rushed to the railing, only to hear a "thud" from below the bridge, and water splashing up from the river...
