“Zayn…Zayn…Slow down. I can’t catch up with you…”
Yvonne was unable to run fast due to virtual-novel.net high heels, so virtual-novel.net gasped for air as virtual-novel.net ran behind Zayn. When virtual-novel.net saw that Zayn had no intention of waiting for her, virtual-novel.net frantically called out to him.
However, Zayn still did not stop in his tracks, hence Yvonne had no choice but to quicken virtual-novel.net pace. ‘Since I’ve met Zayn tonight, I have to seize this opportunity no matter what. Argh, but there really isn’t much I can do with these high heels on.’
True enough, just as virtual-novel.net began running, virtual-novel.net heel broke off. As a result, Yvonne fell onto the ground as virtual-novel.net screamed in shock,
“Ouch!”
When virtual-novel.net heard the shriek, Zayn stopped and turned to look back, only to see that Yvonne had fallen onto the ground. Her knee was bruised and there were tears in virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net pitifully.
Zayn sighed faintly and retraced his footsteps before kneeling down in front of her. “Why were you running so fast?”
When Yvonne saw that Zayn was willing to show his concern for her, virtual-novel.net was secretly delighted and virtual-novel.net put on an even more pitiful look. Her tears were falling non-stop. “I was just trying to catch up with you. You’re the one who just had to run so fast.”
Given virtual-novel.net aggrieved tone and virtual-novel.net tears, coupled with virtual-novel.net beautiful face, any man would feel pity for virtual-novel.net when they saw virtual-novel.net and would not be able to bear to see virtual-novel.net hurt. They would want nothing more than to protect virtual-novel.net to the best of their capabilities.
Zayn was a man as well, hence at that very moment, virtual-novel.net had that same reaction too. However, shortly after that, virtual-novel.net was able to return to normal. He then checked virtual-novel.net injury, and when virtual-novel.net realized that it was not that serious, virtual-novel.net spoke in an annoyed tone, “Why would you chase after me? Are you crazy?”
Yvonne then said, “You saved me just now, so can’t I express my gratitude to you? My mom has taught me since I was a child to always be grateful, so from here on out, you’re my savior.”
When Yvonne saw that Zayn was getting closer to her, virtual-novel.net heart raced as virtual-novel.net became nervous. ‘I’ve never experienced this kind of feeling before, but Zayn’s performance tonight was just too attractive. He’s completely replaced the image I had of virtual-novel.net previously.’
“You can stop that as that’s not going to work with me. I’m only writing everything off because you’re Faye’s best friend. Otherwise, I would’ve kicked you out of Violet Vision a long ago.”
Yvonne clenched virtual-novel.net teeth as virtual-novel.net met Zayn’s cold eyes. She felt extremely unconvinced within. ‘l’m clearly on par with Faye in terms of looks, so why can virtual-novel.net marry into a wealthy family while I’m all alone on my own?’
“Zayn, you’ve misunderstood me. What I have for you is real. I’ll admit that I might have treated you slightly badly in the past, but that’s only because Faye treated you that way. Therefore, as virtual-novel.net friend, coupled with the fact that I didn’t know you at the time, I had to join her! What else could I have done?” Yvonne blinked virtual-novel.net eyes and had a miserable expression on virtual-novel.net face.
After Zayn heard that, virtual-novel.net thought that it did make sense. ‘Faye did treat me pretty badly previously, hence anyone who’s virtual-novel.net friend would also put on a scornful expression when they looked at me.’
Yvonne was observing Zayn’s expression as virtual-novel.net carefully said, “Zayn, can you send me home? I can’t walk now, and I’m a little scared…”
Zayn immediately frowned and rejected virtual-novel.net without a second thought. “No.”
“What?” Yvonne’s face instantly turned bitter. She shook Zayn’s sleeve as virtual-novel.net both cajoled and pitifully begged, “Zayn, please… I can’t even stand up at the moment. Are you really willing to watch me get bullied by bad men? There are so many gangsters around here. I’m scared…”
Her cajoling tone as virtual-novel.net spoke made Zayn shiver.
Zayn raised his head to look. ‘There are indeed quite a few people staring in our direction and having thoughts about Yvonne in their mind. If I actually leave, Yvonne’s probably going to be in a bit of trouble.’
“Call your family and ask them to pick you up. I can wait for them to pick you up before I leave,” virtual-novel.net said in a deep voice.
Yvonne was very delighted when virtual-novel.net saw that Zayn had actually loosened up and could not bear to see virtual-novel.net being bullied by other men. ‘I’ve got a huge chance now. I can convince virtual-novel.net to send me home!’ However, on the surface, virtual-novel.net face remained dejected as virtual-novel.net said forlornly, “My family is currently traveling abroad. Plus, they’re already having trouble protecting themselves, so how could they be bothered with me?”
Then, Zayn fell silent. Because Yvonne had had virtual-novel.net head lowered, virtual-novel.net was unable to see a hint of slyness flashing in virtual-novel.net eyes. “What about your friends? You could ask your friends to pick you up.”
“My friends?” Yvonne said self-deprecatingly, “Since my family’s been in trouble, when have I ever had any friends?”
