Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xue Fanxin ate an entire roasted chicken and patted her stomach in satisfaction, smiling brightly at Yi Tian. “Thank you for the roasted chicken, I’ll treat you next time.”
“Xin’er, I did many things that I shouldn’t have done to you previously. I hereby solemnly apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me.” Yi Tian sincerely said sorry to Xue Fanxin, almost kneeling down.
Facing someone so sincere and earnest, Xue Fanxin really could not say that she did not forgive him. Furthermore, the entire blame was not on Yi Tian. He had only been deceived by Li Yaoyao and used by her. Overall, he was a pitiful victim.
However, she was no longer the same Xue Fanxin. She did not have any feelings for Yi Tian. Once her heart softened and she forgave him, she would definitely be entangled endlessly in the future.
What should she do?
No matter what, this matter had to be resolved properly.
“Young Master Yi Tian, I accept your apology, but I hope you don’t think too much about it because I’m no longer the Xue Fanxin of the past. We can only be friends.”
“Xin’er, I know that I’ve hurt you too deeply, but I—”
“Stop…” Xue Fanxin waved her hand and said to Yi Tian seriously, “Young Master Yi Tian, you probably don’t understand what I mean. We are still friends, but we can only be friends. My infatuation and admiration for you have already become a thing of the past. Now, I only treat you as an elder brother or a friend.”
When Yi Tian saw Xue Fanxin so serious, he knew that she was not saying it out of anger, nor was she lying. She was speaking the truth. His heart was bitter and astringent. He was so regretful that he wanted to cry.
However, he would not give up easily. Even if Xue Fanxin did not like him anymore, he would still try his best to make her like him again.

“It’s okay, as long as you’re not angry with me. I’m going to do something else now. I’ll treat you to roasted chicken at Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant another day.”
“Sure, sure! You must keep your word.” She would never let go of any chance to eat delicious food. Even if it was her enemy who wanted to treat her to something delicious, she would eat it happily.

She had no choice. After all, she was a true foodie.
Yi Tian chatted with Xue Fanxin for a while before leaving. When he walked out of her courtyard, he noticed Li Yaoyao standing in a corner and staring at him. He wanted to ignore her and leave, but she ran over and blocked his way.
“Yi Tian, are you really going to ignore me?” Li Yaoyao was acting pitiful as usual, using her weak appearance to gain sympathy.
If it was the previous Yi Tian, he would definitely be moved by her look. However, the current Yi Tian felt disgusted just by looking at her. “After seeing you, all my good mood is gone. So you’d best not appear in front of me. Otherwise, I’ll make you die even faster.”
Li Yaoyao was frightened by Yi Tian’s terrifying appearance and asked in a panic, “Yi Tian, how did you become like this? Are you still angry at me for what happened that day? I didn’t mean to swear that oath. It was Xue Fanxin who…”
“Enough.” When Yi Tian heard Li Yaoyao speak ill of Xue Fanxin again, he flew into a rage. Initially, he did not want to tell her the truth so early, but he could not help but say angrily, “Li Yaoyao, you lied to me for two years and used me. Do you want to do the same again?”
“Yi Tian, w-what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?” With Li Yaoyao’s intelligence, how could she not understand? She was just unwilling to admit it.
Yi Tian actually knew the truth about what had happened two years ago. How did he know? Who told him?
Was it Xue Fanxin?

The hatred in Li Yaoyao’s heart towards Xue Fanxin grew stronger and stronger. It was so intense that she could no longer hide it. She revealed it all and glared fiercely at Xue Fanxin’s courtyard, the hatred consuming her heart…
Xue Fanxin must be up to no good. That must be why Yi Tian knew the truth and treated her like this.
Xue Fanxin, I want you to die miserably.
