Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: The Fighter Among Men

“Actually, it’s normal if you can’t accept this right away. Even I didn’t expect to fall for someone in just a month, especially someone several years younger than me, like a little brother. It’s probably because you’re truly too wonderful, too dazzling… Every move you make, I just can’t take my eyes off you…”

Stop, please stop, Sister…

Ye Xian silently covered her face under the table, feeling like her guilt would explode with any more words.

What does age or liking have to do with anything when… we’re the same gender.

Never in her life had Ye Xian imagined that she would be confessed to by a woman, and one whom she considered a good friend at that.

If she had known, she would have spoken first earlier.

She had thought that mentioning ending their exclusive contract would be awkward, but what Jiang Xin brought up was even more so.

Ye Xian took the stainless steel fork and slowly sat up straight.

Facing the woman’s tender gaze of love, she smiled awkwardly.

If it were anyone else, she’d definitely smile and say, ‘Which part about me do you like? I can change, can’t I?’ or ‘I’m still young, I don’t understand what love is’ to reject them, but this person was Jiang Xin, who doesn’t take things lightly and is serious and persistent about everything.

If she said those things, Jiang Xin would definitely think she was brushing her off and not taking her seriously; maybe she would even think she meant ‘wait for me’ or something, and that Jiang Xin wouldn’t let go easily.

Jiang Xin held her hands tightly, nervous but full of hope, “Ye Xian, about what I just said… what do you think…?”

“Sister Xin, there’s something I have to be honest about with you!”

Ye Xian clenched the fork, gritted her teeth, and braced herself for the hard truth.

Since excuses wouldn’t work, it was time to deliver a knockout punch, one strong enough to make her give up completely.

“What is it?”

For some reason, Jiang Xin had a bad feeling.

“You must have heard… I… I… I…” Ye Xian stuttered for a few seconds before she decided to just go for it, “I’m gay! I like men, not women!”

“…”

Now, it was Jiang Xin’s turn to be shocked into silence.

Ye Xian bowed her head as if in penance, “I’m sorry, truly sorry, I can’t reciprocate your feelings.”

At that moment, Jiang Xin wished that his acting skills were good enough for her not to see through his lie, but a woman’s intuition doesn’t lie.

His words were true.

“Are all those rumors online real? You’re really… gay? But didn’t your agent post clarifications that they were just rumors?”

Jiang Xin’s voice was trembling.

Ye Xian: “Those were just statements he released out of consideration for my future. There’s no smoke without fire, the fact that I like men is true.”

Jiang Xin: “Then you like your team captain, Jiang Wanze?”

“Not at all!”

Ye Xian suddenly looked up, “He’s too much of a nice guy and a philanderer, plus he has the face of a pretty boy, not my type at all.”

“Then…”

Jiang Xin became confused. Wasn’t the rumor that he liked Jiang Wanze? If he didn’t, did that mean… he had no man he liked yet?

“So to this point, you haven’t liked anyone?”

“That’s right…” Ye Xian nearly agreed subconsciously until she saw a glimmer of joy deep in her eyes, and then she realized what Jiang Xin was thinking.

She couldn’t think that she was just self-assumed to like men and still had the potential to turn back to liking women, right?

No, she couldn’t leave her even a shred of hope.

“Sorry, what I meant was that I don’t like the pretty boy type like Jiang Wanze. What I like is the very manly kind, those who are especially cold and ruthless, and men who exude a strong hormonal presence, someone who can conquer me in a single sentence!”

“The man among men! The fighter jet among men!”

Ye Xian rambled on with her eyes closed.
