Chapter 1822: Someone Like You Is Out of My League

Deng Yunhai grew anxious; he had no time to overthink and reached out to grab her wrist first.

But Wei Yangyang did not want any contact with him and swung her hand away fiercely.

Then she shouted angrily, "Stop pestering me! From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

"Can't you just listen to my explanation?"

"No matter how you explain it, it doesn't change the fact that I was dating an app!"

At this very moment, Deng Yunhai could no longer deceive himself.

He knew that Wei Yangyang had discovered that app.

But her anger was something Deng Yunhai had not anticipated.

To appease Wei Yangyang, Deng Yunhai explained sincerely, "I admit I used the app, but that's because I'm not good at pursuing girls; I just wanted to find a reference!"

"Following your logic, a poor student is justified in cheating just because they don't know the answers!"

"That's not the same..."

"How is it not the same? A poor student wants a 100, you want a girlfriend—you're both fantasizing about things that don't belong to you!"

In her anger, Wei Yangyang's train of thought was surprisingly clear.

Even Deng Yunhai was left speechless by her retort.

After a while, Deng Yunhai said, "Even if I used outside help, what of it? Once we get to know each other, you will naturally understand me."

"Ha, I suppose I know you well enough by now, but do I really understand you?"

"Of course."

"Of course my foot!"

Seeing Deng Yunhai still spouting hypocritical words, Wei Yangyang couldn't help but curse.

She even exposed Deng Yunhai's lie: "Before I decided to date you, I had a friend investigate you, and the investigation data was different from the you I knew!"

"At first I thought the investigation was wrong—that you were humorous, interesting, and a gentleman. But now that I think about it, what I understood was not you at all!"

"Deng Yunhai, you truly terrify me!"

Wei Yangyang's string of words tore apart Deng Yunhai's mask.

It also left his disguise with nowhere to hide.

But Deng Yunhai did not panic.

Instead, he became increasingly calm.

That kind of calmness was something polished by years of ups and downs in the business world.

Wei Yangyang had long since experienced it.

However, she had seen it in Li Xingyan.

Now it seemed that these two were not alike after all.

Although that Li Xingyan had a sharp tongue, he would never be this shameless!

Wei Yangyang pressed her lips together tightly, not letting a single trace of the grievance in her heart show.

Deng Yunhai, as if negotiating, said to Wei Yangyang, "If you give me a little more time, I will let you slowly understand the real me."

"Forget it, someone like you is out of my league!"

"See, when I speak to you in this manner, you avoid me at all costs."

"Don't get the order wrong; you deceived me first, which is why I find you an eyesore! Otherwise, for the sake of those eight-pack abs, I wouldn't be like this!"

"Then now..."

"It's impossible. I said it before, we are finished. From now on, let's just be strangers!"

After saying this, Wei Yangyang turned and walked into the company.

Deng Yunhai wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the company's Security Guard.

Helpless, he could only watch as Wei Yangyang disappeared from his sight.

Deng Yunhai stood in place for a while, then with a dark expression, drove to an internet cafe.

Although it was class time, Deng Yunhai found Deng Yuntian in an internet cafe.

At this moment, Deng Yuntian was wearing headphones and having a blast playing a game.

But suddenly, his computer screen went black!

Deng Yuntian took off his headphones and cursed.

As it turned out, in that very instant...

He saw his older brother!

Subconsciously, Deng Yuntian wanted to slip away.

But Deng Yunhai pressed him back into the chair and questioned him from above: "Did you tell your classmate that I used an app?"

Deng Yuntian reacted for a moment before he understood what his brother meant.

Immediately, he hurriedly explained, "You mean Li Moning? She's been in intensive training lately, I haven't even seen her, how could I tell her!"

"Then who did you tell?"

"I didn't tell anyone, really! If I lied to you, I'll never be able to play games again!"

To Deng Yuntian, this was a serious oath.

He would not say it lightly.

So... the matter was not leaked by him.

But if it wasn't him, how did Wei Yangyang know about the app?

Deng Yunhai's brows furrowed involuntarily.

When he spoke, he was clearly distracted: "Fine, go back to your game."

Keep playing?

Today is the championship match!

He suddenly disconnected; he must be getting cursed out by his teammates!

But Deng Yuntian dared not voice any complaints to his older brother.

Because he could feel that his brother was in a very foul mood right now.

And considering Deng Yunhai's performance just now...

Deng Yuntian suddenly came up with a hypothesis: "Could it be that the secret has been exposed!?"

Deng Yunhai was already irritable to begin with.

Hearing this, he said unpleasantly: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about!"

Deng Yuntian didn't ask any further.

However, he already knew the answer.

A pair of eyes kept darting back and forth over Deng Yunhai.

Logically speaking, given his brother's personality, it shouldn't matter even if the secret were exposed.

After all, aren't there plenty of other blind date candidates?

Yet his brother had clearly lost his composure!

What did this mean?

It meant...

"If you keep looking, I'll send you to the Principal's office at your school!"

Deng Yunhai was annoyed by that blatant scrutiny and simply resorted to a ruthless tactic.

This remark was so lethal that Deng Yuntian immediately said miserably: "I won't look, I won't look, but there's no need to sacrifice your own kin for the sake of righteousness!"

"Then are you going back to school yourself now, or should I take you back?"

"Eh? You just told me to keep playing a moment ago!"

"I regret it."

Deng Yunhai explained it with breezy indifference.

Deng Yuntian secretly blamed himself for why he had to take those extra two looks!

Now look, he had provoked his brother!

Deng Yuntian was very frustrated, but he dared not talk back, so in the end, he could only mumble: "I'll go back now."

As soon as the words fell, Deng Yuntian left with a depressed look on his face.

As for Deng Yunhai, he walked out of the internet cafe and sat inside his car.

But he didn't start the car immediately; instead, he stared at the people coming and going and began to zone out.

Regarding the app, Deng Yunhai hadn't intended to keep hiding it from Wei Yangyang forever.

In his plan, he would personally explain it to Wei Yangyang the day before the app was released.

By that time, the two of them would have a stable relationship and mutual trust.

Even if Wei Yangyang knew about the existence of the app, she wouldn't be angry.

Instead, she would be curious about what it was actually like.

But now...

The plan had been disrupted.

Deng Yunhai didn't even know how it had gone wrong!

He didn't like this feeling.

He also didn't like the way Wei Yangyang looked at him with that distant gaze...

After deep thought for a long time, Deng Yunhai drove back to the company.

And as soon as he arrived at the company, he announced a decision: "The recently developed dating app project will be postponed."

At first, the members of the work team thought Deng Yunhai was joking.

But looking at his stern face...

Everyone panicked at once.

Someone even asked in confusion: "The project is proceeding very smoothly, why postpone it?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking bit by bit.
