Chapter 389 - 335: This Boyfriend 2
"Ye Zi, be good and put her on."
Cang Yuan stood before Yurinoko and gently took her hand. Her hands were a little rough and dark, but at least they were plump and soft to the touch.
Cang Yuan placed the splayed-out skin of a face in Yurinoko’s palm, his voice laced with temptation. "Be good. As long as you put it on, we can be together forever. We’ll never be apart."
As if mesmerized, Yurinoko held the piece of skin while Cang Yuan smoothed out its wrinkles one by one.
His eyes were fixed on Yurinoko with an encouraging, expectant gaze.
"Cang Yuan, if I put her on, will you really love me forever?"
"Of course, I will."
"Then if I put her on, I’ll still be me, right? And you’ll help me, right?"
A glint flashed in Cang Yuan’s eyes, but his tone was indulgent. "I will. I’ll always help you. I’m always helping you, my treasure."
[No way? Is she just walking right into the tiger’s mouth?]
[Someone this stupid is just wasting space by being alive!]
[This guy doesn’t seem right. The way he was talking just now... it’s like you can’t defy him. Is it some kind of black magic?]
[I don’t care what happens, I’m loving this drama. More, please!]
"Tsk tsk. She’s about to die, and you still can’t bring yourself to tell the truth?"
Wen Ying’s voice shattered the atmosphere Cang Yuan had created.
And when Yurinoko heard Wen Ying’s words, it was as if she had suddenly woken up from a nightmare. She quickly backed away, putting distance between herself and Cang Yuan!
Clutching the piece of skin tightly in her hand, she noted its softness and the slimy film covering it.
Cang Yuan frowned, showing such an expression in front of Yurinoko for the first time.
"Ye Zi, was that the streamer who just spoke?"
Cang Yuan picked up the phone that was set to one side and looked at the screen.
His eyes fell upon a face of breathtaking beauty—Doctor Wen.
’His heart suddenly skipped a beat. If my beloved had a face like that, would I still need to be all lovey-dovey with this disgusting woman every day?’
’Too bad. This woman isn’t a suitable match for Cai Zi.’
"Ye Zi, do you believe this stranger?"
Yurinoko hesitated, torn. Seeing the look on Cang Yuan’s face, she felt a pang of pity. "I... I don’t believe her, but whose face is this? Why do I have to wear it? Don’t you love me for who I am, for my own face?"
Seeing Yurinoko act like this repeatedly today, Cang Yuan’s patience ran out.
"Yurinoko, you could have lived a few more days. Why are you in such a hurry to die now?"
"You should be grateful for the chance to make a sacrifice for Cai Zi. Why are you refusing?"
"Your existence is worthless, don’t you get it? You’re so ugly. Every day I have to suppress my revulsion just to be close to you, to say all those things that make my own skin crawl. Just look at yourself! That fat face... you’re uglier than an average person. Didn’t you tell me no one had ever liked you before? How could anyone possibly like someone like you?"
"But I... I let you experience what it feels like to be liked. You should repay me, shouldn’t you?"
"Ye Zi, if you’re a good girl, I can make you suffer a little less. But if you’re not..."
"There’s no escape for you."
Staring at the man before her, his expression now sinister, Yurinoko saw this look on his face for the very first time. This was the handsome man who’d claimed to love her, who’d said he would risk everything for her.
Disgust, disdain, revulsion, irritation, and impatience.
Before, he had never shown even a hint of it.
’It had all been an act!’
’He was that disgusted by me?’
"Give me Cai Zi’s face." Cang Yuan’s voice was laced with ice. "Since you lack the good sense to cooperate, I’ll have to help you myself."
Tears streamed down Yurinoko’s face. Every time she cried before, Cang Yuan would always hold her tenderly in his arms to comfort her, proving his love for her.
But this time, even as she sobbed wretchedly, Cang Yuan just watched her with impatience, his face a mask of pure disgust.
"I don’t want it! I don’t want her face! I’m just me! I’m Yurinoko!"
[Is she finally getting a clue?]
[Too bad it’s too late, huh?]
"If you don’t love me, why did you lie to me! Why did you lie to me!"
"I love you so much! Why did you have to lie to me!"
"So what if you love her? She’s dead! DEAD! There’s probably not even a scrap of her bones left! Good riddance! She deserved it!"
SLAP!
A heavy slap cracked across Yurinoko’s face, the force sending her stumbling back onto the bed.
