Chapter 499: Argument

Jing watched Fu Mina in distaste. His lips curved into a sneer as he stared at her up and down.

He oozed such a threatening aura out of him that she was forced to take a step back in fear. A chill ran across her spine, and she didn’t understand why.

Nevertheless, she was thrilled to meet him. He was Liu Jing, after all – the renowned fashion designer.

“M-Mr. Liu Jing…” she stammered. She was stunned to see such a handsome man up close.

Now that she noticed them standing together, she realized how breathtaking they looked.

Jing narrowed his eyes and showed even more hostility than before that made her snap out of her daze.

She finally remembered what Jing said when he came.

“I…I…”

Jing sneered. “I…I what? Don’t you know how to speak? And what were you just saying? A chance with you?”

Yukito felt the anger inside him with just one glance.

He was really, really mad, and he knew if he didn’t stop her, then he would do some irreparable damage to the poor girl’s heart.

Yukito said, “Jing. It’s okay. I have already given my answer.”

“And it doesn’t look like that she understood your simple answer,” Jing narrowed his eyes.

Fu Mina gulped. She didn’t understand why Jing felt so dangerous at the prospect of her confessing to Yukito.

“I-I really like him. I just want one-“

But Jing took one step forward and faced her.

“Jing, stop!” Yukito widened his eyes.

Jing quietly and slowly said, “Yukito doesn’t have the time to give stupid chances to ugly girls like you who don’t know their place.”

Fu Mina froze.

“Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Too thin, wearing those awful spectacles, not pretty at all, and just look at the dress you wore today.”

“Jing. Stop.”

But he kept talking. “As a fashion designer myself, I feel as if I will puke at any moment by your disgusting fashion sense. What part of your ugly self makes you think that you can go out with someone like Yukito? How did a girl like you even get tickets to the show today?”

Fu Mina started shaking on her spot, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Her self-esteem took the worst hit by his harsh words. She felt humiliated, but in front of his powerful and dangerous aura, all her words got stuck in her throat.

“Jing!”

He froze when Yukito suddenly yelled his name.

Yukito glared at him and faced him, clearly furious at his insulting words.

“Apologize to her. I don’t need to tell you why.”

His jaw clenched in frustration. He was hurt knowing that he asked him to say sorry to the girl who just confessed to him. “She doesn’t-“

Yukito cut him off. “Apologize. To. Her.”

But Fu Mina couldn’t stay there any longer. She was too scared and insulted to stand there anymore.

“I-I am really s-s-sorry…” she turned and tremblingly ran away with tears in her eyes.

Yukito was shocked. “Hey, wait! Let him-“

But she was already gone.

Jing snorted. “Good riddance.”

“Enough is enough, Jing!” Yukito finally had it.

“How many times should I tell you not to do this! Why did you have to insult her like that?”

“Because she confessed!”

“And I know what to do, and I did. I rejected her. What you did was completely uncalled for! You just didn’t insult her. You targeted her self-esteem. Your words could really make her hate herself and feel unworthy.”

Jing grabbed his arm and looked down at him with a menacing aura. “So? Are you feeling guilty for that girl? She ‘is’ unworthy for you.”

Yukito touched his hand and shook it off, momentarily shocking Jing.

“I don’t feel anyone is worthy or unworthy of anyone else. Either you like that person, or you do not. But nobody has any right to determine anybody’s worth. If it was like that, then why do you even like me? I wasn’t rich or wealthy, and my family had such a past. I am far from your ‘worthy’ ideals.”

Jing’s gaze dimmed. “Yukito. Why are you fighting with me over that girl? She is just a fan. Is she that important to you already?”

“It’s because you interfered! Who told you to meddle?”

Jing stiffened. “…you find this meddling?”

“Yes, it is! I know my limits, Jing. Why do you think that you have to always reject the girls for me? I like you. I am clear on that. So, I know what to tell them. Why do you feel that I cannot handle it?”

Jing said nothing.

“Please realize this, Jing. I am not like you or brother-in-law. I cannot bring myself to be that harsh and cold towards girls who may like me, and I am not stupid for any white lotus to take advantage of that either if that is what you are worried about.”

Jing gritted his teeth. “Why wouldn’t I be worried! Girls are swarming everywhere you go. They look as if they are head in heels over you. I hate it. I feel jealous. I hate the fact that you became a model! Why did you have to enter this industry in the first place!”

Yukito froze.

Jing pinched his jaw and sneered. “Or in your heart, do you really like getting all the attention? Is that why you are refusing for us to come out with our relationship?”

Yukito blankly looked at him, and then Jing suddenly realized what he said.

Yukito slowly removed his hand and said, “If that is what you feel, then I think we should-“

“No!” Jing hastily said, “I-I am sorry. I didn’t mean that…Yukito, I am really sorry…Hit me if you want, okay?”

Yukito stared at him, and then his mouth slightly opened, but he shut it again.

“It’s getting late. We should head home.”

Jing quickly pulled his hand back. He got really afraid of his reaction just now. “Yukito. I am really sorry, okay? I promise I won’t interfere again like I did today.”

“…Hm.”

Yukito faintly smiled and started walking towards the car, clenching his fists in his pockets.
