Chapter 1677: Chapter 1677: So It Wasn’t You
Yiyi’s heart was suddenly pierced, her breath caught, as she stared at him in a daze.
His phoenix eyes narrowed tightly, his gaze icy cold, his expression filled with hostility and inquiry, each a sharp arrow piercing her heart, causing a strange dull pain to arise.
"Don’t you recognize me?" Her breathing quickened, her eyes stubbornly fixed on him.
How could it be, he was that person, from the same world as her, the man she imagined loving and cherishing her deeply. She could even fantasize about him gently smiling and calling her name, proclaiming dominantly, never expecting words so cold and indifferent would come out of his mouth!
"Don’t you know who I am?" She looked at him anxiously, her slightly raised chin trembling, dazzling lights reflecting her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness, making her appear so pitiful, not knowing what to do.
The continuous questioning made Ling Kong’s well-shaped brows furrow, his cold, detached black eyes covered in a layer of frost.
Was she acting, or was she really...
No, this girl, he had never seen her before, didn’t know her at all, and certainly never had any emotional entanglement with her. Yet she looked at him like a long-lost lover reunited, showing deep affection, appearing so peculiar.
It was enough to make one suspect her ulterior motives.
But whatever her intentions, they were of no use; he certainly wouldn’t fall for her schemes.
"Miss, don’t waste your acting, I don’t know you. If you are sensible, after this dance, behave yourself and don’t cause any trouble at the banquet. Otherwise, you will be very, very miserable."
His eyes exuded a cold ruthlessness, his icy fingers brushing across her chin.
"You can’t provoke me!"
Yiyi’s snow-white face turned even paler, her heart seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, pain spreading from her heart to her limbs, penetrating every corner, making breathing difficult.
His utterly merciless words, such a cold gaze.
He was definitely not that person, even if she couldn’t remember that person, subconsciously she knew, that person was gentle, considerate, and cherished her, would never say such harsh and hurtful words to her.
So, is he not him at all?
Yiyi stared dumbfounded at Ling Kong, her heart in chaos, realizing that her expectation was all for nothing.
"Sorry, I’ve got the wrong person, I thought... you were the person I was looking for, but it turns out you’re not, it’s not you." She laughed bitterly, dazed.
He didn’t know her; it seemed he really wasn’t the one. That person would not fail to recognize her, that person loved her the most, how could he not recognize her? But why, even knowing that she got it wrong, does her mood remain indescribably sad.
She didn’t understand why she cared so much about the cold words of a stranger she didn’t know, just an irrelevant person.
"That person? If it’s someone you know, the person you’re looking for, don’t you even recognize them, don’t know who they are?"
Ling Kong carefully studied the subtle changes in her facial expressions, to see if it was because she was exposed, pretending to have mistaken him for someone else, or what?
He thought that a woman of such unknown origin, deliberately approaching him, must be making excuses after being exposed.
However, as his eyes fell on her pale face, seeing those eyes that used to shine brightly, now only dim and sad, that expression seemed as if she was about to cry from heartache.
He was stunned, that expression did not seem to be faked, unless her acting skills were truly flawless.
