98: Chapter 98 Too arrogant

Kong Ziyi's hands were getting impatient, but what was even more agonizing was the turmoil in his heart.

Why did he have to get in this car!

Why wasn't he the one getting out of the car!

Finally, the moment Kong Ziyi unbuckled his seatbelt, he scrambled out of the car as if fleeing for his life.

His movements were incredibly swift, as if the car contained some ferocious beast.

Because he was in such a hurry to get out, Kong Ziyi tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his face.

He looked utterly pathetic.

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing felt six metaphorical dots appear over her head, her mind filled with utter speechlessness.

The only one happy was Ah Huang, who was outside.

Because now Ah Huang finally had a helper.

At that moment, Ah Huang's entire being visibly radiated excitement.

His tail wagged furiously, showing no concern for Ye Qingqing still in the car, as if all his previous talk about hating Huo Sixian had been fake.

Inside the car, Ye Qingqing looked at Huo Sixian, her tone brimming with extreme impatience.

"I'll say it one more time, let me go."

Her voice carried a sharp edge, and her gaze towards Huo Sixian was filled with killing intent.

But Huo Sixian, who had finally found Ye Qingqing, how could he let go so easily?

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Huo Sixian tightened his grip on her hand even more.

Huo Sixian was deeply afraid that if he loosened his hold even a little, Ye Qingqing would vanish.

"Qingqing, listen to my explanation. Things aren't what you think."

Regardless of what Ye Qingqing was thinking, Huo Sixian poured out the words he had been holding back, speaking to her on his own terms.

"I was wrong before, on the Warship. I shouldn't have pretended not to know you."

"Actually, I was worried too. Because of my position, I was afraid that if I revealed our relationship, someone on the Warship might try to harm you."

"But Qingqing, I was wrong, truly wrong. I made a huge mistake."

"I realized that even if I pretended not to know you, things still turned out the same. Qingqing..."

Ye Qingqing listened to Huo Sixian's words, her face expressionless, as if his speech was nothing but a joke.

Seeing her like this, a wave of inexplicable sorrow washed over Huo Sixian's heart. It seemed he had lost something very important.

Ye Qingqing looked at Huo Sixian for a long moment before finally speaking slowly, "Are you done?"

"If you're done, let me out of the car. I need to go help Ah Huang."

Hearing this, Huo Sixian still didn't move, but little did he know,

this action completely enraged Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing's brows suddenly furrowed: "Are you finished or not?"

"Acting all hesitant and indecisive like a man. I don't care about anything you're saying, and I'm not interested. What does any of it have to do with me?"

Huo Sixian looked at Ye Qingqing, his dark, ink-like gaze suddenly fixing intently on her.

"Ye Qingqing, how can it have nothing to do with you?"

"My heart and eyes are completely filled with you. Can't you see that?"

Ye Qingqing was momentarily stunned by Huo Sixian's sudden declaration, not even daring to breathe too heavily for fear he might do something irrational.

"Ye Qingqing, I like you."

Hearing Huo Sixian's words, it felt like a firework exploded in Ye Qingqing's mind.

Did he just... say he likes me?

This thought ran through Ye Qingqing's mind.

Ye Qingqing blinked, her expression somewhat awkward as she pushed Huo Sixian away.

But Huo Sixian was like an unstoppable force, giving Ye Qingqing no chance to catch her breath.

"Ye Qingqing, I was wrong."

The faint ripple that had still existed in Ye Qingqing's heart instantly vanished upon hearing Huo Sixian's final admission of being wrong.

"What exactly were you wrong about?"

"Huo Sixian, do you think too highly of yourself? Based on your own one-sided wishes, you subconsciously treat me as your possession."

As she said this, Ye Qingqing even smiled slightly.

"Huo Sixian, you're too arrogant. So arrogant that you think I'll just follow your will?"

"Since I separated from you all on that inflatable boat, it meant we had already gone our separate ways."

"Meeting you again on the Warship was indeed an accident."

"You were indeed wrong. Do you know what you were wrong about?"

"You were wrong for not handling your own messy romantic entanglements. You were wrong for pretending not to know me while secretly helping me, when we clearly have no real relationship."

After saying this, Ye Qingqing's eyes darkened slightly, her gaze towards Huo Sixian carrying a chill.

"Huo Sixian, you really are... too arrogant."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Huo Sixian's face showed disbelief, and he shook his head frantically.

"No, that's not it, Qingqing, I'm not..."

Ye Qingqing had no desire to hear his explanation. Frowning, she cut him off: "Not what?"

"To be honest, what actual relationship do you and I have?"

"At most, we were neighbors for a while, and you taught me some Combat Techniques."

"Teacher. Huo."

The final three words, 'Teacher Huo,' were enunciated with deliberate force by Ye Qingqing.

As if to shatter Huo Sixian's own delusions.

Huo Sixian was momentarily stunned by Ye Qingqing's words, left speechless and unsure what to say.

His entire demeanor visibly slumped at a rapid pace.

A cold sneer appeared on Ye Qingqing's lips: "Heh, thank you for your affection. But your 'affection' is lethal to me."

"Now, it's my turn to deal with you."

Naturally, Ye Qingqing couldn't let Huo Sixian and the others leave.

These people knew her and Ah Huang's secret. They couldn't be allowed to live.

The look Ye Qingqing now directed at Huo Sixian was filled with killing intent.

Huo Sixian, looking utterly dejected, stared at Ye Qingqing with disbelief.

"Qingqing, you... you want to kill me?"

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow: "What do you think? Only the dead don't talk."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dagger appeared in Ye Qingqing's hand.

She thrust it fiercely towards Huo Sixian's face.

Huo Sixian immediately reacted and began to dodge.

Although Ye Qingqing had received training, compared to Huo Sixian, her rudimentary skills were no match for him.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing's moves were taught by Huo Sixian himself. Huo Sixian's judgment was extremely sharp, and he instantly predicted the direction of her attack.

When Ye Qingqing's dagger was just one centimeter from Huo Sixian's eyeball, his hand intercepted it.

Ye Qingqing tried to exert force, but the difference in strength between men and women was too vast.

If Ye Qingqing tried to overpower Huo Sixian directly, she would naturally be no match for him.

A faint scent of blood permeated the air.

Huo Sixian's back was already injured. The large movements he made to evade Ye Qingqing's attack had aggravated the wound on his back.

Ye Qingqing's brows furrowed slightly, but her thoughts weren't of pity. Instead, her mind raced, calculating the possible movement range inside the car.
