Chapter 786: Chapter 782: Unfeeling
Seeing Hu Jing so devoid of vitality, Ye Fan wanted to comfort her with a few words but restrained himself.
Ye Fan calmed himself down and sipped his tea at a leisurely pace, giving Hu Jing time to process this information and adjust her mindset.
After about ten minutes, Hu Jing suddenly burst into self-mocking laughter, âHeh, heh heh hehâŚâ
Ye Fan stopped sipping his tea, turned to look at Hu Jing, who also cast her gaze upon him and said, âYe Fan, youâve really kept yourself well-hidden.â
Ye Fan spread his hands, having nothing to say; he could understand the feeling of being deceived that Hu Jing was experiencing.
However, it wasnât his fault either; even though he had never told Hu Jing he was already married, he had also been rejecting her all along, especially since she knew from the start that Lu Xiaoman was his girlfriend.
Of course, he wouldnât defend himself.
Even though he regretted losing Hu Jing as a friend, it was better than continuing to be entangled with her.
Seeing that Ye Fan had no intention to explain, Hu Jing wanted to hear his explanation even more.
âDonât you have anything to say?â she asked, suppressing her anger.
Ye Fan shook his head slightly.
Hu Jing took a deep breath, mechanically nodded her head, and said, âItâs because Iâm stupid, Iâm dumb, itâs because Iâm wanton, Iâm materialistic, itâs all me throwing myself at youâŚâ
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, her chest heaving, her ample bosom almost bouncing out of her deep red evening gownâs U-shaped neckline.
She knew very well in her heart that it wasnât because Ye Fan was young and wealthy that she took a liking to him, otherwise with her shrewd nature of not taking uncalculated risks, she wouldnât have planned to give her chastity, which she had guarded for many years, to Ye Fan tonight. Compared to beauty and sexiness, her virginity was her greatest asset.
Ye Fanâs indifferent demeanor deeply hurt her, leaving her feeling immensely wronged. She was the one being deceived, so why didnât Ye Fan even have a word to say?
Hu Jingâs series of self-deprecations made Ye Fan uneasy, and he said, âHu Jing, donât do this.â
âWuu wuu wuuâŚâ Hu Jing turned away, covered her face with her hands, and began to sob.
She told herself not to cry, to behave completely like a materialistic woman, but she couldnât help crying.
Listening to Hu Jingâs repressed sobs and seeing her shaking shoulders, Ye Fan also felt uncomfortable.
âLetâs do this. Iâve hidden this from you for so long, and I truly am sorry. Iâll compensate you with a sum of money,â Ye Fan said.
âWho needs your damn money?!â Hu Jing suddenly turned around, her pretty face sorrowful as if pear blossoms bathed in rain, and she shouted angrily, âYou think youâre something special just because you have money? You think you can just play with womenâs feelings because youâre rich!â
Scolding him, she stood up and ran toward the door, wanting to flee the place, no longer wishing to see Ye Fan.
Ye Fan quickly followed after her, blocking Hu Jingâs way. She was so emotionally worked up, and it being late at night, he worried something might happen to her if she ran out like this.
âGet out of my way!â Hu Jing shouted.
Ye Fan shook his head and firmly said, âI wonât let you leave like this unless youâve calmed down.â
âPah!â Hu Jing spat out, âStop your pretense. To you, Iâm just a vain, gold-digging woman longing to marry into wealth! You think itâs all my own fault!â
âMove!â she said agitatedly, attempting to push Ye Fan away.
However, since Ye Fan wanted to block her, no matter how hard she pushed, she could not move him an inch.
After pushing for a while and seeing that she couldnât push him away, Hu Jingâs emotions flared, and she clenched her fists and started to pound on Ye Fanâs chest.
âMove! Move! Move! I donât need your sympathy! And I certainly donât need your pity!â While punching Ye Fanâs chest, she cried and cursed, âIâm a materialistic woman, a vain woman. If I canât snag you as a wealthy husband, there are plenty of richer, more powerful men out there waiting for me to catch! With my assets, I can snag a husband ten times better than you! Whatâs so great about you?!âŚâ
Ye Fan endured Hu Jingâs punches, suddenly feeling her genuine heartache and distress.
He wanted to reach out and hold Hu Jing, to offer her comfort, but in the end, he refrained. That gesture would only lead to endless entanglement in the future.
So, he could only bear it all with an expressionless face.
Hu Jing hit and scolded Ye Fan, but still, he gave no response, not even a change in expression, which led her to despair.
Suddenly, she threw herself into Ye Fanâs arms, buried her lovely face in his chest, continued to punch him, and cried, âYe Fan, are you really that heartless? Donât you have even a word of comfort?â
Ye Fan remained resolute, not giving any action that would give Hu Jing hope.
After a while, Hu Jing finally gave up in despair, stepped away from Ye Fanâs chest, sniffled, wiped away her tears, turned around, and walked back to the restroom.
Watching Hu Jing enter the restroom, Ye Fan guessed that Hu Jingâs emotions would calm down soon.
He sighed with discomfort in his heart, walked back to the coffee table, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and tried to taste it nonchalantly, as if it didnât matter.
About seven or eight minutes later, Ye Fan heard the restroom door open, but he resisted the urge to look, continuing to calmly taste his tea.
âClick, click, clickâŚâ
The sound of stiletto heels tapping on the floor drew closer, followed by Hu Jingâs signature scent, and then Ye Fan saw her sit down on another sofa.
âMake me a cup of tea,â came Hu Jingâs cool voice.
Ye Fan finally turned his head to look directly at Hu Jing, seeing that she had retouched her makeup, returning to her gorgeous, beautiful self, though traces of her crying lingered in her eyes.
He nodded, made a cup of tea for Hu Jing.
Hu Jing picked up the tea, drank it in one gulp, put down the cup, then said, âIâve calmed down now, right? Can I go?â
âYes, you can go,â Ye Fan nodded.
However, Hu Jing did not stand up immediately but continued to stare at Ye Fan.
After being stared at by Hu Jing, Ye Fan felt obliged to speak up, âIs there anything else?â
âGive me your bank account number, I want to return the money to you,â Hu Jing said coldly.
Before Ye Fan had gone to Mingde County, Hu Jing had many interactions with him, including one time when they went to Yonghui Private Club, and Ye Fan won fifty million from gambling with Long Aotian, casually giving both Hu Jing and Zhao Shuaijiang three million each. Furthermore, there was another occasion when Ye Fan, competing with An Qiye at a charity auction, nonchalantly gave Hu Jing a strand of South Sea pearls worth three hundred thousand that he didnât need.
Nevertheless, Ye Fan had no recollection of these events. Puzzled, he said, âWhat money? Iâve never lent you any.â
Hu Jing knew that Ye Fan was not pretending; he genuinely couldnât remember. However, this made her even more disgusted with the fact that she remembered an act that he had forgotten.
âHmph!â She snorted coldly, âJust give me your bank account information!â
