To Love You Again

Jang Shin really wanted to knock Tang Xinyang's forehead for being too gullible.

He spoke in a hard tone, "It is not wise to let this gentlemen get cooped with only us. I'm sure Sir William would love to interact with other people. This place surely invited people whom he knows."

William looked around.

Truly, many people here were people he knew, and there were also many other outstanding connections he could make use of. At the front was the old heads from the legendary families, and the big heads who were friends with the Tang family. The second row was full of big shots as well. And then on the--

William paused and suddenly saw two masked men at the back. Their aura was purposely hidden. If he did not take a look closely, he would not know that there were two masked men in the hall at all.

Hmm...

"Sir William, I think a lot of people want to converse with you?" Jang Shin said pointing out with his eyes to the obvious people who wanted to approach William. Hoping the man would go away.

William's thoughts halted and his gaze swept around. He saw indeed that there were people looking at him and appeared to be planning to approach and talk to him. He was William Grand after all. 

However, William was not in the mood. His usual tactic was to talk to the people of importance near the end of an event. That was when those people only talk about worthy things and not just nonsensical flatterings. 

He preferred to chat aimlessly with the beautiful woman instead.

William waved his hand. "Nah, I will go and socialize later. For now, let me sit here and admire the beauty." William winked at Tang Xinyang.

Jang Shin's frown deepened. 

'How annoying.'

This William had been hitting on Tang Xinyang the whole time. And Tang Xinyang...

Tang Xinyang felt happy being called a beauty. She put a lot of effort on her appearance this night, so she smiled like a flower again. "Aiya, I can't believe a gentleman like you is really calling me a beauty. You flatter me too much." 

Tang Xinyang awkwardly used the words of reply she had learned from Song Xuantin.

A vein popped up on Jang Shin's forehead again.

His hand slapped on the table. 

The two looked at him in surprise.

"Are you swatting a fly or something?" Tang Xinyang asked, wondering what was the matter with Jang Shin.

Jang Shin shot her a glare and hissed in a low voice. "You idiot! That man is just calling you a beauty to put you under his pants! And you are so foolish to believe him!"

Jang Shin took a breath and continued speaking, lowering his voice further to avoid attracting people's attention. However, his anger was apparent. "Will you believe any man who calls you a beauty? You did not think that their intention is not pure?"

Tang Xinyang was speechless. 

Jang Shin's words were making her sound like an idiotic woman, especially not giving her face in front of another person.

His words also stung.

"I am not like that! Senior also didn't do anything wrong. Why are you so annoying today?"

Jang Shin also did not know why he was so angry watching the two converse in front of him closely, especially when Tang Xinyang spared no effort to defend the man. In anger, his words turned even more severe. "It is because you are making me fed up with that disgusting smile of yours!"

Stop smiling so intimately to him!

Tang Xinyang's eyes opened wide.

William looked at Jang Shin dumbfoundedly. He seemed to see a hundred-year v.i.r.g.i.n waving a death flag.

Then realization dawned on him.

This Jang Shin... Did he not realize yet his feelings for Tang Xinyang?

Or else, why would his words be so tactless?

When William saw how the couple interacted at the parking lot earlier, he had seen that this pair cleary had feelings for each other but had not yet reached the point of officially going out.

William was confused at how these two people did not date yet when they clearly had feelings for each other. So he had tried to hit on Tang Xinyang many times to test the waters, but the man only glared at him.

William had found it interesting and continued to hit on the girl. But this...

Jang Shin then turned to William furiously. He had not yet realized Tang Xinyang's reaction.

"Are your eyes blind? How could you call her a beauty when she's not? You have no idea, she is more manly than you! She is not cut out for you, so stop flirting with her anymore!"

Tang Xinyang's ears flicked. Her heart felt pricked by countless tiny needles. She stood up angrily. "Jang Shin!"

The people on the tables near them looked over.

Jang Shin and William also looked up at Tang Xinyang.

Tang Xinyang's eyes were slightly red as she stared at Jang Shin. 

Her chest felt tight and painful.

Tang Xinyang was really offended this time. She knew that she was not feminine, nor was she the type of beauty whom Jang Shin wanted.

But she was not ugly either to deserve this kind of insult from the person she liked!

Tang Xinyang had not realized until today just how ugly she looked in Jang Shin's eyes. 

"You are too much. I hate you!" Tang Xinyang coldly said before she turned around and walked away.

Jang Shin froze.

Tang Xinyang's red eyes... told him that she was hurt.

She... Was she crying?

Panic rose in his chest, but the years of memories of when he was severely beaten up and sent to the hospital, including the pain on his body when her punches landed, rose in his mind...he hesitated a bit.

Tang Xinyang was very aggressive, manly, and not at all what a beauty should be.

Was he being...too much?

But all he said was the truth.
