Forced to Marry Mr. Billionaire

Chapter 148: Chapter 148 See How Good I Am to You

He asked her with suspicion, "An Ruo, are you hiding something from me?"

An Ruoxin was startled inside but appeared very composed, "What could I possibly be hiding from you."

"You seem to be preoccupied with something on your mind. Tell me, what are you thinking about?"

She shook her head, "I’m not thinking about anything, just feeling a little out of sorts."

Tang Yuchen pulled her up and led her outside with determination, "Let’s go pick out some jewelry. Don’t all you women love jewels? Buy whatever catches your eye later."

That should cheer her up a bit, he thought.

Tang Yuchen felt he was really despicable. Her bad mood was none of his business, and he had no need to do these things to please her. But for some reason, he couldn’t stand to see her looking so dispirited and lost. She just seemed so depressingly out of place.

An Ruo didn’t resist and followed him to the jewelry counter.

As he sat at the counter, Tang Yuchen’s phone suddenly rang, a call from Yun Feixue.

He answered, and the woman on the other end asked him with a gentle, laughing voice, "Chen, where are you right now? Are you getting off work?"

The man glanced over at An Ruo beside him and smirked, "Baby, I still have a bit of time before I get off work. Did you need me for something?"

"Nothing much—I was just thinking that we could have dinner together tonight," Yun Feixue spoke while pushing open the glass doors of the mall.

Without a second thought, Tang Yuchen refused her, "Tonight’s not good, I have some issues to deal with. I’ll call you another time."

"I see. Well, then next time..." Yun Feixue’s voice suddenly got stuck in her throat as she caught sight of him and An Ruo not far away. It was as if a fishbone had lodged in her throat, leaving her feeling horribly uncomfortable, her expression pained.

"Hm?" Tang Yuchen hummed in confusion. She quickly collected herself and managed a strained laugh, "Then let’s have dinner next time. Chen, I’ve got something else to do, so I’m hanging up first."

Without waiting for a response, she hung up in a fluster, her face the picture of dismay.

Tang Yuchen put away his phone, turned to An Ruo, and his lips curved into a devilishly charming smile, "Guess who just called?"

"..." An Ruo didn’t even want to bother with him.

The man’s long fingers tapped on the table as he told her, "It was Yun Feixue. She wanted to have dinner with me. An Ruo, I turned down an important appointment just for you."

An Ruo turned to face him and asked indifferently, "What are you trying to say? That I’m more important to you than Yun Feixue? Or is it that, in reality, you don’t like Yun Feixue at all?"

Tang Yuchen lifted the corners of his mouth without getting angry or denying it, "See how good I am to you."

An Ruo abruptly stood up, "I need to use the restroom."

In the restroom, she placed her hands under the faucet to wash them when another woman came alongside to do the same.

"An Ruo? What are you doing here?!"

Hearing Yun Feixue’s surprised voice, An Ruo turned her head and was equally astonished. The world was too small; to run into her here of all places.

An Ruo pursed her lips, unsure how to greet her. She also didn’t know how Yun Feixue would feel seeing her with Tang Yuchen later on.

Yun Feixue looked at her with indifference and said coldly, "You’re here shopping? Huh, you seem to be enjoying life quite a bit. An Ruo, I really feel sorry for my brother. How could he fall for someone like you."

An Ruo’s eyes flickered, and she couldn’t help asking her, "Feiyang, how is he... doing now?"
