Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: So the person you have always liked is Chi Enen
At this time, the waiter came over with freshly brewed Blue Mountain coffee, the coffee still steaming slightly. The waiter carefully held it and said, “Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, your coffee is here.”
Kim Zhiyuan’s attention was entirely focused on Xi Zelie not answering her question. She didn’t notice the waiter beside her at all and emotionally questioned, “So, the person you like is Chi Enen? You rejected me in the hospital, saying the person you like was also her?!”
Hospital, rejection?
The waiter perked up their ears, overhearing gossip, and accidentally shook their hand holding the coffee. The scalding coffee spilled out, pouring onto her hand, and she inhaled sharply from the burn, yelling “Ah!” At the same time, as a reflex, she tossed the coffee she was holding away.
Crash!
The coffee cup shattered into pieces, the hot coffee splattering everywhere.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Realizing her mistake, the female waitress was so scared her face turned pale, continuously apologizing to Kim Zhiyuan.
“I’m sorry, it was my mistake. I’ll clean it up immediately and brew a new cup for you.” With her waist bent like a pecking bird, the female waitress apologized.
While she was flustered and at a loss, she suddenly heard a calm voice from across, “Wash your hand first.”
The female waitress lifted her head.
Only to see an untouched glass of lemonade pushed in front of her, she was stunned and met the man’s gaze with his Peach Blossom Eyes.
Her cheeks suddenly flushed red, she stammered, “Th-Thank you.”
Seeing the female waitress’s expression, Kim Zhiyuan knew she was overthinking, and a wave of helplessness surged in her heart.
Back then, didn’t she also fall into this trap?
Mistaking this man’s concern, born from his penitentiary nature, as special treatment towards herself, she only realized after slowly falling too deep that his moment of concern that made her heartbeat wildly was just a subconscious reaction stemming from his manners, without any emotional color inside.
“Clean this up and brew me a new cup of coffee.” Kim Zhiyuan paused, then added, “I don’t want Blue Mountain anymore, change it to cappuccino, with sugar.”
The female waitress came to her senses and quickly said, “Okay, I’ll brew it right away.”
Holding the lemonade cup, her cheeks flushed, she quickly walked away.
Soon, a male waiter replaced her to clean up the previously spilled coffee and poured a new glass of lemonade for the indifferent man.
The indifferent man didn’t touch the water cup but instead looked at Kim Zhiyuan, “I cannot answer your question.”
“Why can’t you answer? Don’t you know whether you like her or not? Or are you saying that you think if I know you like her, it will be disadvantageous to her?” Kim Zhiyuan bit her lower lip and said bluntly, “I may have ill feelings towards her because you like her, but I, Kim Zhiyuan, wouldn’t stoop so low as to make little moves behind someone’s back just because you like someone.”
“But don’t you know she’s about to get married? Li Beijue has announced the marriage; the wedding was only postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.”
The man being questioned had very calm Peach Blossom Eyes, “I know.”
“You know, so why do you still want to…” Kim Zhiyuan abruptly stopped. She couldn’t speak the rest of her words; saying them out loud would sound too much like jealousy. She had already lost so completely in front of him; she didn’t want to lose even her last bit of self-respect!
