My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!

Chapter 536 - 270: You’ve Completely Shattered My Previous View of You

Although he had those encounters with Su Qianxue, he didn’t like her.

Furthermore, she had repeatedly made it clear that he didn’t need to take responsibility. It was evident that she had no interest in him either, yet they both couldn’t escape the orders of their parents.

Now that the betrothal gifts have been presented, who knows what Su Qianxue is planning.

The more Pei Yu thought about it, the more irritated he became. No matter the situation, he would absolutely not marry Su Qianxue.

His parents acted without his consent, arranging the marriage and sending the betrothal gifts on his behalf. He refused to believe they could force him into the bridal chamber.

With this thought in mind, Pei Yu gritted his teeth, and the thought of escaping the marriage became unbreakably firm.

"Yao, I like you."

He looked at Yun Wanyao with deep emotion in his eyes, still calling her Yao, disregarding her previous words.

"?????"

Yun Wanyao’s eyes widened instantly in shock as she stared at him.

Yes, although she had known from the plot given by her younger sister that during this period, he had feelings for her, she’d never expected him to express it so bluntly.

The betrothal gifts have been given, and the wedding date approaches. Did he not understand how absurd it was to say such things to her at this point?

If word got out, not only would he be despised, but she would also be condemned by society.

She should have known; whenever this guy sought her out, it was never for any good reason.

Yun Wanyao instinctively glanced around, relaxing only after spotting the maid guarding the entrance.

Yes, she was at her own home, heavily guarded inside and out, and there was no chance that anything detrimental to her would get out.

So, what was there to worry about?

"You were engaged to King Qi before, and due to that engagement, I could only bury my feelings for you in my heart."

"But now that your engagement has been annulled and you’re free, I want to pursue my love. Yao, do you know how happy I was when I learned your engagement to King Qi was annulled?"

He continued to ramble about his affections for her, pouring forth sentiments sincerely, yet Yun Wanyao found it extremely repugnant and quickly interrupted him.

"Stop, don’t say anything more."

Seeing this, Pei Yu frowned and asked, full of confusion, "What? Do you not believe me, Yao?"

"What does believing or not believing change?"

Yun Wanyao looked impatient, her tone equally harsh.

"General Pei, have you forgotten? You just proposed to the Grand Commandant Mansion. Isn’t it inappropriate to then turn around and say such things to me?"

"I am indeed free, but you are not, so please, General, learn to respect yourself. Also, let me remind you again; call me Miss Yun."

She believed she had spoken clearly enough, but somehow, Pei Yu, full of confidence for reasons unknown, firmly believed that she held affection for him too.

Her cold attitude was simply due to the current situation.

Thus, he hastily explained.

"Yao, the proposal was not my wish; it was entirely my parents’ doing. My heart remains with you, and I will never marry another woman."

"Surely, you don’t feel nothing for me, right? So, run away with me, let’s go to the border together."

"I swear, I’ll treat you well in this lifetime and never let you down."

She never expected he would dare propose eloping...

At first, Yun Wanyao was filled with disbelief, almost thinking she’d misheard it. But when she realized it was true, she laughed in anger.

"Ridiculous! I am the legitimate eldest daughter of Duke Ning Mansion; is there an Aristocratic Family’s son I cannot marry? Why would I need to elope with you?"

"Is your Pei Family so noble? Are you Pei Yu so remarkable? Worth me abandoning my reputation and disregarding my parents to elope with you? Where does your confidence stem from?"

"In the past, acknowledging our childhood bond, I called you elder brother, but you really think of yourself as something special?"

"I’m telling you clearly now, I have no feelings for you whatsoever. Even if you propose with the grandest procession, I would not accept it, let alone elope with you."

"Those dirty thoughts of yours, it’s best to put them away and not use them on me."

These words were quite blunt and harsh, showing no mercy, tearing away the facade they had maintained.

Pei Yu was stunned, staring at her blankly, seemingly unable to believe such sharp words could come from such a beautiful mouth.

After a moment, he regained his senses, his face dark and unpleasant, eyes deeply hurt, his voice miserably low.

"Yao..."

Just as he spoke, he seemed to remember something, immediately shutting his mouth. And after a pause, he corrected himself.
