Chapter 810: Returning Evil for Good, Stealing My Fiancé [7K]

Yukinoshita Yukino stared ahead, listening to the silence from the other end of the phone.

This abnormal silence made her gradually realize that the idea she had come up with out of unwillingness at the end was correct.

Sakurajima Mai had deceived her and hadn't expressed the facts completely.

It was definitely not as she had thought—that Lin Ye was planning to use Sakurajima Mai's mouth to express his idea of separating from her.

That guy was so greedy, thinking of a forest; how could he be limited to Sakurajima Mai!

At this moment,

Yukinoshita Yukino had a further understanding of Lin Ye's greed.

The countless criticisms she had held were now her final hope.

"Miss Sakurajima Mai, no matter what, I did help you, right? Please tell me the truth."

She spoke.

As the words were transmitted through the phone, she clearly felt the change in the breathing on the other end.

Sakurajima Mai bit her red lip, her brain a bit chaotic.

Should she continue this lie she had woven, struggling a bit more, or confess honestly and inform her of the actual situation?

"Yukinoshita-san, do you like Lin Ye?"

This time,

Sakurajima Mai countered by asking Yukinoshita Yukino this question.

She understood that her struggle was of no avail. As long as Yukinoshita insisted on having Lin Ye tell her in person, she had no way out.

So, it was better to change the way to let Yukinoshita Yukino withdraw.

Let her leave voluntarily. As long as the result was the same, the process didn't really matter, did it?

"Why ask that suddenly?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned.

She didn't know how to answer this question.

"Like, or dislike? Is it that hard?"

It was hard.

Because even she didn't know how to affirm it.

The only thing she could affirm was that she didn't dislike Lin Ye, but not disliking ≠ liking.

"Please state your true purpose directly; no need to beat around the bush."

"I want..."

Sakurajima Mai's gaze subconsciously drifted toward the hotel, as if she could see Lin Ye resting with his eyes closed through the door.

"I think through the interactions these past few days, I've fallen for him. I have a good impression of him."

"I want to date him and be together as lovers."

She spoke slowly about the flicker of palpitation in her heart.

"These few days of interaction let me know what kind of boy he is—a boy who knows how to care for and look after girls, a boy with responsibility and ability, a boy who can stand up when I'm in danger and is willing to take risks to protect me."

In just a few days,

quite a few things had happened.

Especially the events at Chiba Park and Akihabara, Tokyo, had left an indelible impression on her.

Yukinoshita Yukino listened, a stuffy feeling lingering in her chest.

Her fiancé-to-be had truly done quite a few unnecessary things.

Now he had caused another girl to fall for him.

"And his confession to me in Akihabara,"

"That was just a confession to let you return to normal; it was all fake. Please don't misunderstand, Miss Sakurajima Mai."

Yukinoshita Yukino immediately spoke up to remind her.

But Sakurajima Mai, upon hearing this, smiled and shook her head gently. "Yukinoshita-san, actually you know, the first half of the confession was indeed a script, a declaration made to let me return to normal."

"But the second half was his heartfelt, sincere words. If you had thought it was all a script and all fake from the beginning, how could you have believed my words in the first place?"

It was precisely because Yukinoshita believed that it was a sincere confession from Lin Ye that she had thoughts of retreating and leaving.

The girl was silent.

She was an observer and knew many things. In her view, Lin Ye's final confession was a sincere one.

Lin Ye liked Sakurajima Mai; he had liked Sakurajima Mai a long, long time ago.

"I... chose to accept, not because I wanted to escape the abnormality and return to daily life, but because the moment I saw him turn around, my heart trembled and shuddered. I didn't want to see that sad and lonely expression of his."

It was that lonely expression that made her make up her mind,

transcending the guilt toward Yukinoshita Yukino and her own moral constraints, choosing to agree, choosing to accept Lin Ye's confession, choosing to embrace him, and offering her red lips.

"So, Yukinoshita-san, I hope you can end the relationship with Lin Ye. Fiancé-to-be, but in reality, no engagement has been set. You are just in the stage of contact and communication, understanding each other, and haven't even reached mutual admiration and liking."

Sakurajima Mai looked at Yukinoshita. "Although I don't know why you have this special relationship, I think it must have something to do with your family, right?"

She had specifically looked into Yukinoshita Yukino and knew that Yukinoshita was also a prominent family in Chiba.

Lin Ye and Yukinoshita clearly weren't dating, yet they had such a fiancé-to-be relationship; this was definitely problematic.

As a big star who had participated in quite a few works, she associated it with political interest alliances. Lin Ye was an Eerie game player with ability and potential, while the Yukinoshita family had influence and probably wanted a piece of the pie in the Eerie game, which was why Lin Ye and Yukinoshita Yukino had this complex relationship.

This was Sakurajima Mai's analysis and guess. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about asking Lin Ye, but this topic was too sensitive and would cause Lin Ye's resistance, so she hadn't asked.

But now, mentioning this to Yukinoshita Yukino wasn't a big problem.

Yukinoshita Yukino's dark blue eyes stared at Sakurajima Mai, her expression calm.

Only her heart was overflowing with waves.

She had been hit on the mark. Her relationship with Lin Ye had to do with her family, although it was her own choice; if it hadn't been for the suggestion of her parents and Lin Ye's remarks, she and Lin Ye would never have had this relationship.

"My interaction and understanding with him were my personal will, and it doesn't have much to do with my family."

Yukinoshita spoke, giving an answer. "Miss Sakurajima Mai, I am answering your request very seriously here: I refuse. I will not end my relationship with Lin Ye. There is only one way to end our relationship, and that is for him to propose it to me in person."

"We are already dating."

Sakurajima Mai reminded her.

"Dating is just dating, and we aren't married. Moreover, Lin Ye and I are in a fiancé-to-be relationship. As long as I am willing, we can set an engagement and become fiancé and fiancée."

One sentence made Sakurajima Mai's face change slightly.

Lin Ye had also mentioned this point; Sakurajima Mai remembered it very clearly.

"We are spending the night at a love hotel tonight."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino's heart trembled. She was, of course, extremely unwilling to see her fiancé-to-be spending the night at a hotel with Sakurajima Mai.

"Tonight, I'll trouble Miss Sakurajima Mai to satisfy his daily physiological needs."

Sakurajima Mai slowly typed out a few question marks.

Yukinoshita really had accepted it all, not resisting at all!

If Yukinoshita was like this, then Hoshino Ai...

Sakurajima Mai knew just by thinking about it that Hoshino Ai would only accept it more calmly. Compared to Yukinoshita, Hoshino Ai's degree of tolerance was clearly more sufficient.

This was a judgment Sakurajima Mai could make from her interaction with Hoshino Ai, not to mention that Lin Ye himself had said Hoshino Ai would accept his promiscuous behavior, while Yukinoshita only had the possibility.

"Don't worry, I will. I will take good care of him, soothe the bitterness and fatigue of these past few days, and repay his dedication and sacrifice."

Sakurajima Mai's mind surfaced with Lin Ye's tired and weary posture and expression over these past few days.

Staying awake for over two days, relying on substances like tea and coffee to stay awake—this scene, she would never forget in her life.

Except for him, no other man could have done it for her.

Sakurajima Mai also made up her mind.

Now that she had laid her cards on the table with Yukinoshita Yukino, she no longer had any hesitation. ===== CHAPTER 811 =====

Now that she has already laid her cards on the table with Yukino Yukinoshita, she no longer has any hesitation.
