Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 20 He is my boyfriend

20: He is my boyfriend

20: He is my boyfriend

The gentle music sprinkled in every corner of the western restaurant, each melodious note sounding so soothing to the ear.

Yet, even the most melodious music couldn’t change Shangguan Hong’s desire to leave early.

Sitting opposite Shangguan Hong was the blind date arranged by her family—his name was Yin Shaoxiong!

Ever since their first arranged meeting, Shangguan Hong frequently received flowers and gifts from Yin Shaoxiong, his intentions unspoken yet clear.

However, during their initial encounter, Shangguan Hong had made it clear that she had no feelings for Yin Shaoxiong, thinking that such a straightforward explanation would end things.

To her surprise, Yin Shaoxiong never gave up and repeatedly called her, trying to ask her out.

If it weren’t for a call from home, Shangguan Hong would absolutely not have come out today.

“Shangguan, we’ve known each other for so long now, I think you should understand my feelings for you.

I, Yin Shaoxiong, have never been so persistent with any woman.

Why won’t you at least consider it!” Yin Shaoxiong spoke earnestly, and after he finished his eyes burned with passion as he anticipated a satisfying response from Shangguan Hong.

“Indeed, Young Master Yin is not lacking women.

With your status and identity, if you want any beautiful woman, a mere wave of your hand is enough to have people throwing themselves at you,” Shangguan Hong said indifferently, to which Yin Shaoxiong hurriedly explained, “But… I…

now, the only person I want to marry is you.”

“If another woman were in my place, she might have accepted your proposal by now, but…

Young Master Yin, I, Shangguan Hong, am not the kind of woman you think I am; we really are not suitable,” Shangguan Hong flatly refused.

“Shangguan, I, Yin Shaoxiong, can assure you that once I have you, I will never fool around outside again; I’ll love only you,” Yin Shaoxiong immediately swore, his gaze still as fervent as before.

Shangguan Hong still shook her head slightly, and Yin Shaoxiong’s expression turned somewhat ugly.

Changing his tone, he said, “Don’t you care about your family at all?”

“You should be aware that your Shangguan family is already facing a crisis.

If our families were to unite in marriage, with the help of my Yin family, this crisis could be averted.

If your Shangguan family continues to resist, I fear it won’t hold on for long.

You surely understand this logic,” he said.

Yin Shaoxiong’s words were clear: if they joined hands, it would benefit both; if not, one side would surely suffer!

He subtly coerced Shangguan Hong, laying out the dire situation of her family and presenting their union as the only solution to the Shangguan family’s troubles.

It must be said that Yin Shaoxiong had laid out the pros and cons clearly, aiming to convince Shangguan Hong that a marriage between their two families was a relationship with all benefits and no drawbacks.

Shangguan Hong’s eyebrows slightly raised.

What Yin Shaoxiong said wasn’t wrong—if the Yin and Shangguan families joined forces, they could definitely resolve the current crisis.

Even her family seemed to implicitly suggest this, otherwise they wouldn’t have arranged for the two to meet for an arranged date.

Only one thing, Shangguan Hong didn’t like this kind of political marriage.

A life together based only on powerful connections was not what Shangguan Hong sought.

Shangguan Hong remained silent, while Yin Shaoxiong was full of confidence.

He hadn’t given up because he was captivated by Shangguan Hong’s temperament, which other women did not possess, drawing him to her fiercely.

Moreover, in front of him, Shangguan Hong was like a proud swan, always raising her graceful neck as if unattainable.

However, the more she was like that, the stronger Yin Shaoxiong’s desire to conquer her grew.

The harder something is to obtain, the better it is!

What Yin Shaoxiong was doing now was forcing this proud white swan to lower its head, to conquer it!

After a long while, Shangguan Hong let out a sharp breath and said seriously, “If this is your bargaining chip, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, Young Master Yin.

I won’t marry you.”

What!

Yin Shaoxiong thought that after his earlier speech, Shangguan Hong would lower her head and acquiesce. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

But now she had given an unexpected answer.

“Why not?

Do you not even care about the life or death of your family?

Shangguan Hong, you need to think carefully.

Your decision is not just about you personally; it’s also about your family!” Yin Shaoxiong appeared somewhat hysterical, his eyes intently fixed on the calm face opposite him.

“In this world, nothing lasts forever, not even my Shangguan family standing unshaken for a hundred years.

But who can say for sure about the next hundred years?

The rise and fall are predestined, and I, a mere woman, cannot stop what is meant to be.

Perhaps the Shangguan family will be reborn from the ashes after this crisis,” Shangguan Hong said indifferently.

Her words baffled Yin Shaoxiong, who simply couldn’t fathom what was going on in her mind.

He couldn’t understand why she remained so obstinate and refused to bow her head.

At that moment, just to the left in front of Shangguan Hong, Ye Qiu was hiding his face behind a magazine, sitting there with his ears pricked up, straining to hear the conversation between the two, until Shangguan Hong’s recent remarks, which slightly changed Ye Qiu’s expression.

The words surprisingly came from a woman.

Shangguan Hong’s image in Ye Qiu’s mind was shattered once again.

These insights didn’t seem to come from a woman but rather from a hero, full of the true grit of a man.

“You…

really are heartless.

I don’t believe it.

If you don’t give me a valid reason, I, Yin Shaoxiong, will not give up,” Yin Shaoxiong said, tired of hearing these pretentious excuses.

He demanded a satisfactory reason from Shangguan Hong.

Yin Shaoxiong was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning, even losing the gentle demeanor of a gentleman.

He looked quite enraged and didn’t believe a word of Shangguan Hong’s seemingly righteous speech.

“Why must you press me so, Young Master Yin?” Shangguan Hong didn’t want to offend Yin Shaoxiong too deeply, as it would only worsen the Shangguan family’s situation if the Yin family started causing trouble as well.

“Shangguan Hong, we who are born into noble families will sooner or later serve our families, and none of us can escape.

If you really want me to give up, then give me a reason to lose hope.

Don’t offer those trivial excuses,” Yin Shaoxiong insisted.

“Actually…” Shangguan Hong’s eyes showed a trace of panic; she hadn’t expected Yin Shaoxiong to corner her like this.

Yin Shaoxiong was waiting for a real reason from Shangguan Hong.

“Actually…

I…

have a boyfriend!”

Shangguan Hong declared dramatically.

At these words, even Ye Qiu, who was eavesdropping from the side, was shocked, “Isn’t she single?

How does she have a boyfriend now?”

“Who is he?” Yin Shaoxiong’s eyes immediately widened, wanting to know to whom he had lost.

“He…

it’s him!” After saying this, Shangguan Hong pointed her finger, and suddenly Ye Qiu felt the gaze of two pairs of eyes upon him.

Ye Qiu put down the magazine that was covering his face and saw Yin Shaoxiong looking at him with a strong hostility in his eyes.

“Ye Qiu, why did you just get here?

Didn’t you see me?” Shangguan Hong got up from her chair and promptly ran over, latching onto Ye Qiu’s arm and gently leaning into him.

“He is my boyfriend,” Shangguan Hong pointed at Ye Qiu and said.

What’s going on!

Ye Qiu was baffled by Shangguan Hong’s antics, feeling the warmth from her body against his shoulder, as well as the faint scent of her perfume, which sent his heart fluttering.

Soon, Ye Qiu understood why Shangguan Hong was being so affectionate, sensing the hateful glare from Yin Shaoxiong, fierce as a starving wolf.

He knew he had been used as a shield, and this guy must now despise him.

There was a pleading look in Shangguan Hong’s eyes, obviously wanting him to pretend to be her boyfriend and put on a show for Yin Shaoxiong.

“You…

are good.

We will definitely meet again,” Yin Shaoxiong stepped closer to Ye Qiu, examining his face as if to memorize it, then turned and walked out of the café.

Watching Yin Shaoxiong’s cold demeanor as he left, Ye Qiu revealed a wry smile, feeling like he had just waded into muddy waters.

Exhaling lightly, Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders, thinking it seemed he’d have one more enemy.

But he didn’t mind too much; after all, having many enemies wasn’t overwhelming for him!
