Yan Hua did not think that Bo Yan would push the door open directly. She was not prepared for it and moved back several steps.
Although Yan Hua wanted to say something, she closed her mouth when she stared at the man who kicked the door close with his long legs after he entered the room. Her breathing hitched as she stiffened.
Bo Yan’s tall figure stopped in front of Yan Hua and cast a large shadow across her.
The two were so close to each other that Yan Hua could smell the strong scent of alcohol on him. He had been entertaining their business partners recently, and drank quite a bit every night.
His gaze was cold and sharp under his spectacles and felt like a sharp knife that was sheathed and wanted to pierce through her soul.
Yan Hua tightened her eyes that were resting by her sides. She mustered her courage and met his cold eyes. “Are you drunk? I’m Yan Hua.”
Yan Hua. She was the woman that he hated and despised the most.
Why would he enter her room?
He must have entered the wrong room.
Instead of answering her question, his thin lips curled up in ridicule. His voice was low and void of emotions, “Have you fallen for Su Mo?”
When did she fall for Su Mo?
Could the overbearing gaze she felt on her when she spoke with Su Mo in the hotel lobby have belonged to him?
There was nothing between Su Mo and her, and even if there was, he had no right to question her!
Did she no longer have the right to like a person after being despised by him?
“You’ve drank too much. You should go back to your room and rest. I’ll call room service to prepare a sober-up tea for you laterー”
Yan Hua had not finished her words when Bo Yan suddenly grabbed her shoulder. He flexed and threw her against the wine cabinet behind him.
The coolness of the cabinet pressed against her spine as the man’s tall figure inched towards her like a dangerous predator. His hands supported himself on her sides, and she felt trapped as though a giant net had covered her, preventing her from moving away.
She felt very overwhelmed.
Yan Hua widened her soulful eyes as the man leaned towards her. She could even see the black and white world under his spectacles and the reflection on the lens that showed her anxious expression.
She was really useless. Her heart would lose its rhythm the moment he was in close proximity to her.
She had liked him for so long and even though he had hurt her, her disappointed heart still beat for him and him alone.
Her heart thumped as her lips trembled slightly.
The man’s thin lips curled up into a cold smile, “Are you that desperate to find another man right after I’d rejected you?” His cold gaze was mocking as it moved down from her head to her toes. “Do you think you’re different just because you’ve slimmed down a little? Don’t you know that men are indirectly saying that you’re not pretty when they call you cute?”
So, he had heard Su Mo calling her cute.
Earlier, she had smiled happily because she had never been praised by another male apart from her father.
She was probably a fool in his eyes!
Countless boys had called her ugly since she was young. However, no one had the ability to pierce her heart like Bo Yan did.
Everyone wanted to appear pretty in front of the person they liked, and Yan Hua was no exception. She did not want to be like this either, and was doing her best to change herself…
Why did he still have to hurt her?
Yan Hua wanted to cry, though she did not want to show Bo Yan her weak side. Pursing her lips tightly, she straightened her back and met his cold gaze behind his spectacles.
“Yes, so what if I’m not pretty? If Su Mo hated me, he wouldn’t have asked me to consider accepting him! You may think that I’m fat and ugly, but do you represent the entire world? Bo Yan, don’t look down on me. I just need a bit more time and I’ll appear in front of Su Mo with a normal-sized body!”
