Capítulo 1139: Chapter 1139: I’m Pursuing You Everything in the carriage seemed to have stopped. Xia Siyu looked at Yun Lih from the side, her lips moved several times, but she couldn’t utter the words at the tip of her tongue. The traffic light ahead turned red, and Yun Lih stopped the car at the front of the crosswalk. He slowly turned his eyes, meeting Xia Siyu’s eyes filled with astonishment and confusion, and smiled slightly, “Aren’t you the reason I came to the South Sea?” Xia Siyu asked in a daze, “Wha-what do you mean?” “Think about it yourself.” Yun Lih shook her chin gently, “You’re so smart, you can’t not know.” Xia Siyu felt her cheeks heat up, especially the skin touched by Yun Lih, burning hot like it was on fire. Did he come to the South Sea for her… Is it possible? Xia Siyu felt her mind turn to mush; Yun Lih’s words caught her completely off guard. Moreover, he pinched her chin — an intimate gesture typically shared between couples. Soon after, Yun Lih drove to a Western restaurant. Xia Siyu got out of the car like a ghost, following the figure in front of her step by step into the lobby. It was the dinner rush, and the restaurant was quite busy. As soon as the waiter saw Yun Lih, they warmly invited them to a private room on the second floor. “Mr. Yun, the dishes are ready. Shall we serve them now?” Yun Lih unfolded the napkin and glanced at the dazed Xia Siyu, “Yes, go ahead.” After the waiter left, Yun Lih leisurely picked up a glass of lemon water, “Go back and break up with Lu Jingan.” Xia Siyu snapped back to reality, watching as the man lowered his eyes to drink water, “What do you mean?” “I told you to break up with him, what else could it mean?” Yun Lih put down the glass, his fingers lightly tapping the corner of the table, “If you don’t want to, I don’t mind dealing with him.” Xia Siyu shook her head, rubbing her face several times, “No, no, no, I meant to ask…” Perhaps it was too incredible, leaving Xia Siyu unable to stay calm, as her words became more incoherent. Yun Lih leaned lazily against the chairback, his fingers playing with the steak knife, “Xia Lao Wu, since you’re bringing me back to Cloud City for treatment, if you don’t break up with Lu Jingan, do you want me to watch you flaunt your love every day?” Xia Siyu pinched her thigh, forcing herself to calm down, “Is there any necessary connection between these things?” Yun Lih crossed his legs, speaking frankly, “How could there not be? Weren’t you the one who liked me the most?” “Who likes you, stop talking nonsense!” Xia Siyu retorted, her neck stiffened, her face flushed with embarrassed annoyance from being seen through. Yun Lih raised his glass with a sly smile, “Nonsense? Xia Lao Wu, has your courage been eaten by a dog?” Xia Siyu’s heart skipped a beat, but not wanting him to notice anything, she said confidently, “The past is the past, now is now.” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽 At this moment, the waiter pushed a cart to serve their dinner. Yun Lih observed Xia Siyu’s clearly evasive eyes, a playful smile on his lips, “Hurry and break up when you get back, or else I’ll take care of it for you.” Being scrutinized by him made Xia Siyu feel uncomfortable, as if something was slipping from her grasp. She hadn’t intended to use Lu Jingan to test anything, so she honestly replied, “He and I are still in the getting-to-know-each-other stage, not officially dating…” “Well, then, stay away from him in the future.” Yun Lih pushed a small piece of black swan cake in front of Xia Siyu, “He’s not good enough for you.” The calm she had just settled into was once again rippled. She took a bite of the cake, smirking, “How could that be? My family thinks we’re quite a match.” Your family must be blind. Yun Lih didn’t voice this thought, but after ridiculing it in his mind, he straightened his expression, “Since there are better options, you shouldn’t settle for less.” “Better options?” Xia Siyu repeated his words, slightly raising her eyes to meet Yun Lih’s profound gaze, clearly reflecting her own image. Xia Siyu was momentarily dazed, that feeling came back again. Yun Lih had changed, he truly had; he was actively closing the distance between them, she was sure her intuition was right. Xia Siyu savored the cake in her mouth, sweet yet not cloying, delicious enough to make her want to cry. She blinked, mustering the courage to lean forward, staring directly at Yun Lih across the table, “Brother Lih, you actually…” “Pursuing you, isn’t it obvious?” Yun Lih retained his nonchalant, lazy demeanor, but these words carried a weight that left Xia Siyu stunned. Yun Lih raised an eyebrow indifferently, “Why not? Can’t I pursue you?” Xia Siyu hurriedly shook her head, “You can pursue me, but why are you pursuing me?” “Just consider me bored.” Yun Lih’s answer was as good as saying nothing, leaving Xia Siyu staring at him in a daze. She even felt a bit lightheaded, her thoughts becoming an incomprehensible mess. He wants to pursue her. After dinner, Xia Siyu followed Yun Lih out of the restaurant; the night breeze cleared her mind a bit. Back in the car, Yun Lih had just fastened his seatbelt when he heard Xia Siyu speak. “Brother Lih, actually… I don’t need you to make up to me.” Yun Lih squinted, his eyes turning more complex, “Make up?” Xia Siyu rolled down the car window halfway, gazing at the busy streets, saying softly, “Mm-hmm, do you feel your time is limited, and want to take the chance to make up to me?” Yun Lih rolled his Adam’s apple, muttering a curse. This pity play really worked, but it seemed… backfired. Did she think he wanted to make up for past emotional regrets before he died? Yun Lih licked his molars, his voice significantly lower, “Xia Lao Wu, what do you think I need to make up to you?” Xia Siyu looked calmly back at Yun Lih, “Nothing at all.” “If there’s nothing, what reason would I have to make up to you?” Yun Lih’s expression was cold as he pulled out a cigarette pack and popped one into his mouth, sneering, “Do you see me as that honest and kind?” If he had to make up to a woman out of guilt, Xia Siyu wouldn’t even make it onto the list. With Yun Lih’s looks and demeanor, along with his status and position in Nia State, the women madly in love with him were countless. Yun Lih wasn’t one to abstain from desires, but he could definitely be considered cold-blooded. He could use money and power to bridge certain regrets but would never use his emotions as a bargaining chip. At this moment, Xia Siyu stared blankly at the road ahead, stammering, “If it’s not to make up, why, why are you pursuing me?” Because he liked her? Xia Siyu found it unlikely. If he liked her, why did he repeatedly push her away? Yun Lih gripped the steering wheel, starting the engine, then turned slightly to glance at Xia Siyu, speaking in a low voice, “Does a man need a reason to pursue a woman? Or do you not believe I would pursue you?”
