Chapter 163 The Valentine's Day Arc (19) : Mr. Liu Leaves No Place To Escape

Jun's shoulders slightly stiffened with tension. His innate desire was to shut Yating's trap or punch him so hard that he wouldn't be able to speak. But more than anger, he suddenly felt unsure of Ai's reaction. She was keeping way too much silence.

Speak up something! Jun got a little jittery.

After what seemed like forever Ai met Yating's gaze, unfaltered. "First of all, I already knew."

Both were dumbfounded.

"What?"

"I mean, I had an inkling that Jun was Sky CEO, but you confirmed it today. When Sky's post came in my defense, Jun was there with me at that time though he denied he had to do anything to do with the post. I found it suspicious that the post was so understanding when the CEO himself had threatened to ruin me. That's when I had my doubts."

Jun choked.

So, she already kind of knew… I don't think I am in any position to judge Jun. He hid his identity, so did I. This whole misunderstanding occurred because I lied to him that I was Butterfly. I had my own reasons for doing so. Naturally, I understand that Jun might have his own reasons too. If Jun knew that I am MissImperfectlyFine, this wouldn't have happened. He was just trying to protect me as the author Butterfly. He would have done the same if he had known my real identity and some other writer would have really tried to plagiarize my ."

Her crisp defense rendered Yating with no means to rebuke her. The more she took Jun's side, the more he could hear his heart shattering into pieces.

"Ai…" he trembled, a tear trickling from his eye, "he cannot keep you happy, Ai! You are choosing the wrong man! Do you even know that he is already in a relationship with a woman!?"

Jun froze. Even though Ai knew that he and Shui had broken up, he couldn't help but panic when Shui's name was suddenly thrown at him. Now that his feelings were crystal clear to him, he feared if his past relationship with Shui would bother Ai. He totally forgot that it was Ai who confessed to him first, which meant that she accepted him with his past.

For Yating, it was harder to dig about Jun's life. He wanted to know more about Jun, who would pose a threat to Dream High and Ai. He landed on a piece of information quite easily that Jun was dating the daughter of the Han family, Han Shui.

But because the breakup between them was never announced, Yating was unaware that Jun and Shui were now single.

Ai blinked. "I know. But to correct you, Jun 'was' dating Han Shui. They already broke up two months back."

Yating stared at her and smiled. "Then why do people still consider Han Shui in a relationship?"

That made Jun clench his fists. He himself wanted to put it out in the open as soon as possible had not Grandma Liu's health taken a turn for the worse.

"Han Shui is a rich heiress, and Liu Jun always made it a point to make everybody around her know that they were dating. Everybody knows who her boyfriend is. But even now, there is no news about her breakup. If they have been broken up for two whole months, why isn't it clarified to the world? Do you want to be with such a man? Are you even sure that he is over her? Will he love you the way he loved Han Shui? You will only get hurt if you choose him, Ai! And I cannot see you in pain! Don't waste your feelings for a man who could waver in his emotions for you!"

Jun threateningly took a step towards him when Ai, who remained calm all this time, finally said with a tinge of coldness in her voice, "I know it better than anybody else in this world that Jun is over her. I am not wasting my feelings over Jun because I know that Jun would never betray me. If he had even a tiny bit of anything remaining for Shui, then he would never reciprocate my feelings."

She stared at Yating, her countenance serious and unforgiving.

You say that Jun might waver in his emotions for me. But what did you do in my past life? Didn't you waver in your own feelings? Didn't you leave me and choose Guiying?

You are the last person to say that about Jun, Gu Yating.

The sharpness and resolve in her voice shook Yating hard. He wanted to snatch her away from his side, but he couldn't. There was nothing left to steer her away from him.

"Ai…"

"Please leave," Ai gave her ultimatum. "This is my life. I know what I am doing," her gaze never left him as she said, "It was before that I was naive but not now."

Yating took several shallow breaths, pain crushing his heart like never before. He had envisioned his future with her. He was so happy to learn that Guiying had no feelings for him. He was sure that there would be no roadblock in their way now.

Ai would be his…

But that future looked bleak.

Don't…Don't leave me Ai…Please…I cannot live without you.

No matter how much he revolted against Ai choosing Jun, there was nothing much he could do right now when Ai was so adamant with her decision.

He shut his misty eyes and opened them, his lips curving into a smile. "I will…leave."

Yating threw one last but murderous gaze at Jun.

You are not right for her, Liu Jun. You are not. One day, Ai would definitely realize it. I will make her.

He turned and left, his heavy steps carrying gloom and grief with them.

When only Jun and Ai were left alone in the garden, silence reigned once again. The situation dawned upon Ai. She was shocked to know about Jun's identity but right now, the graver thing to focus upon was her confession.

Recalling his kiss, her face heated up. With Yating's presence, her thoughts were in disarray. But now that the coast was clear, her train of thoughts ran back to her confession.

Jun kissed me. He said that was his answer s-so…

"Miss. Zhou Ai."

She stiffened with his dark voice sounding too close to her ear, his breath tickling it.

"I appreciate you showing that bastard his place. But you have to pay the price for merging with the infinite cosmos when I was so desperate to meet you."

"..."

"You made me work to find you so prepare for the consequences because now…" his eyes narrowed, "there is no place for you to escape from your boyfriend, Miss Zhou."
